A rant.... 1 of many...

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It is a day to bring attention to the rights of people with disabilities, and a day to celebrate the advancements made by disability rights advocates.

#InternationalDisabilityDay2021 Progress has been made. Governments of all levels agreed to put an end to discrimination against people with disabilities through signing international agreements and laws like the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Vulnerable Persons’ Act and the Accessibility Act.

#mbpoli Speaking to the coldness of the system. He has never been contacted by anyone at EIA to see how are you doing? Do you need help finding a job?
