The Liberal party of Canada had the audacity to promise disabled folks help, hang that promise on a string for years, bait & switch it, and now say they're delivering the Canada Disability Benefit accurately & on time?
Fuck outta here. This is a complete failure, & will be even when it's delivered.

People will say these were all “choices” - but to an extent I disagree. If someone is suffering from something that is treatable - or due to financial circumstances - do we not have a duty to help them before we offer them death?
Why are we taking the easy (and cheap) way out instead?

Like this woman with EDS - who thought that being approved for MAiD would open up treatment options or palliative care.
Instead she’s been left in pain to suffer with death being the only option:

You can’t support politicians and political parties that spew hatred and division and expect that the hate will never arrive on your doorstep.
Disabled people are often first to be targeted - but we’re rarely the last /8

Giving up $1.8Billion in tax revenue is a non-issue to the Federal government. (Unless it's on medical cannabis, that is)
However, Spending more than $1.4Billion per year on the Canada Disability Benefit? That's an issue to multiple government parties.
Namely Liberals and NDP.
