STAR claims to serve those not already working with a City division or partner. You call #311 for support. Call takers direct concerns to appropriate service, prioritizing most serious risks...Where needed, 311 engages City divisions or refer the situation to STAR for follow-up

Sure, Disability Pride Month is over but disabled ppl see that across Canada, ableism is a conscious govt policy choice despite viable alternatives shown to be more cost effective & grounded in human rights.Until real change occurs, shouldn't every month be #DisabilityPrideMonth?

I don’t know, I kinda think poor people deserve the same things as everyone else and it’s weird that you think they deserve less. Go micromanage the line item budgets of defense contractors, not the minuscule grocery budgets of poor people.

When people say autisery and cuts "are coming" in Canada, it's an insult to disabled people who have already experienced major cuts from the Liberal government at the expense of disabled lives. Our Ministry was *dissolved.* CDB was cut from it's original promise by over *80%*
