Has anyone had this issue on X? I liked a political post, then was blocked by X to prove I’m human. I passed. They let me back on while telling me to follow the rules. I read them, but I couldn’t figure out what I did as all I did was click on the heart of a post.

Smith defunds disability advocacy groups, changes AISH to ADAP to force the “severely disabled” to work and now, they’re going to pay less. Rather than allow these people some money to afford healthy food, they’re going to claw back the fed top up…while they give themselves a raise.
Has anyone caught what GoA is doing now? The feds approved a Can Disability Benefit but GoA won’t agree to not garnishing AISH pmnts.

Between January 2020, and the end of last year, residential power costs rose more than 40% in AB. That’s approaching double the increase in New Brunswick, which suffered the second-highest increase, and compares with a national average of 14.2 per cent.

Imagine one of your employees accused another of funneling half a billion of your dollars to their friends.
Imagine the accused told you not to worry. They're looking into it for you.
That's where we are in Alberta. The premier and her staff are telling taxpayers to let them handle it.

There are people who assume those with disabilities are faking. That we’re scamming the system somehow. That it’s “fun” to be disabled.
They never seem to consider that most of us are faking being well.
We put on a smile and a brave face & push through suffering that most could never comprehend.

Disability IS a full time job. Only you don’t get paid. You don’t have opportunity for advancement. You never get to earn more money.
You spend every dime trying to stay alive. You live below the poverty line. You’re judged constantly. 🧵

That's why he wants to destroy our nation.
In Canada our kids don't worry about being shot at school.
Our families don't go bankrupt if they get sick.
And Canada sure as shit doesn't let convicted perverts take over our government.

I’m hearing that an AHS review report exists that states there is no reason to invest in a CSF in South Zone… but govt insisted the contracts should be signed anyway.
If true, that’s concerning… but how will we know for sure without a public inquiry?
