@mark-carney.bsky.social, it's OUR country! ALL of US! NOT just the rich & privileged!
There is no room for hoarding the collective wealth of OUR NATION!
There is NO ROOM for TAX EVASION for the RICH & government-imposed POVERTY for the DISABLED!
Get your SHIT together!

Its hard to believe that...
In one of the richest countries in the world,
With so many BILLIONAIRES (77 families) hoarding the "collective wealth",
With BANKS, CORPORATIONS & CRIMINAL ENTERPRIZES stealing the WEALTH of our nation,
We need to FIGHT for POVERTY LEVEL FINANCIAL SUPPORT for Disabled!

Current level of monthly Disability Assistance = $1535/mo for single, housed, non-bus pass PWD in BC
Current official (MBM) Canada POVERTY LEVEL in B.C. = $2,272/mo
END government-imposed POVERTY of PWD in B.C. TODAY!

The ONLY sacrifices that will need to be made are by the ELITE, government officials, multi-national corporations, the 74 BILLIONAIRE FAMILIES of Canada, BANKS of Canada, grocery store chains & the corporations that continue to make "record PROFITS" during these "difficult times"...

After being TOLD that WE (Canadians) will have to make "sacrifices" in order to align with the chosen budget of @liberalparty.bsky.social... I think its well OVERDUE that we say "NO"! #HardPass

#NoKings applies to Canada as well! (1 of 2)...

If @bcndpcaucus.bsky.social is unwilling to shift their priorities & responsibilities to END government-imposed POVERTY by providing NO LESS THAN Poverty Level Financial Support to PWD, then let's BUILD/BUY enough subsidized housing UNITS to provide SHELTER to ALL PWD in B.C. on Disability Support

Let us bring an END to government-imposed POVERTY of Disabled in B.C. (PWD - Persons With Disabilities) in 2025!
Let us understand Poverty Level Financial Support is the MINIMUM level of support any human being deserves in our society!
SHIFT priorities = change our world!

PWD (Persons With Disabilities) B.C. call upon @sheilamalcolmsonbc.bsky.social to INCREASE the monthly "shelter portion" to Market Rent Rates or ELIMINATE the designation all together so ALL PWD receive the same monthly Disability Income Support EQUAL & TIED TO the Official Poverty Level of Canada.

PWD (Persons With Disabilities) in Canada CALL upon @mark-carney.bsky.social & @liberalparty.bsky.social to remove DTC requirements to access the Canada Disability Benefit immediately.
The CDB should be available to all medically assessed & designated PWD in EVERY Province!

@liberalparty.bsky.social & Mark Carney's commitment to ensure EVERYONE, even the most poor & destitute, are filing their taxes, is no altruistic
Perhaps closing the offshore tax haven "loops" & "workarounds" for multimillionaires, billionaires, multinational trillionaire companies...🤔🤔 #gaslighting

Dear @bchousing.bsky.social- let's build, buy, create, acquire, enough housing to provide shelter to 100% of Disabled in B.C.
There is no place in B.C. to leave Disabled homeless because the "shelter portion" of their monthly disability support is a pathetic $500/mo. #NoMorePovertyPWD B.C.

Why has this country allowed the government-imposed POVERTY of medically assessed & designated Persons with Disabilities? Providing Poverty Level financial support is the LEAST Level of support this country should be affording Disabled Canadians!!! #NoMorePovertyPWD (Persons With Disabilities) 🇨🇦🙏

How DIFFICULT is it for Canadian POLITICIANS to understand that the LOWEST level of financial support that should be afforded to Disabled Canadians unable to support themselves, through no fault of their own, is EQUAL & TIED TO the Official Poverty Level of Canada... PERIOD!!!??

@mark-carney.bsky.social @pattyhajdu.bsky.social in Canada, if you are medically assessed & designated a Person With Disability (PWD) in ANY/EVERY Province & are unable to support yourself, you should be afforded no less than POVERTY LEVEL FINANCIAL SUPPORT from the collective wealth of our country

My beautiful fellow Canadians ❤️ You have stepped up lovingly to help Joannie Cowie with the cost related to the passing (death) of her sweet Toby (service animal, pet, family member) - we are ONLY $240 away from clearing the bill!
I humbly ask for donations - joannie_cowie@yahoo.ca 🙏

@mark-carney.bsky.social let's discuss shift in policy & commitment to bring an END to government-imposed POVERTY in Canada? We can help you with financial options. It's time ALL 1.5 MILLION Disabled Canadians are provided with no less than POVERTY LEVEL FINANCIAL SUPPORT! #NoMorePovertyPWD

Moving forward, anyone posting disrespectful, abusive, bullying, condescending, and/or ignorant comments will simply get blocked.

I have no room for that type of online behavior in my advocacy work.
