I sat down with Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada and Mike Morrice who is the MP for #Kitchener Centre to discuss the State of Disability in Canada.

At the start I explain my lived experience and then I ask a few key questions that have been…

Our community faces massive inequities in federal arts funding – $9.3 million in 2023!

It's why we're pushing for federal arts funding to be restored to 2021 levels and for the RDA model to be applied, creating a fairer system.

Despite years of advocacy from the disability community to fast-track the Canada Disability Benefit, this government still hasn't committed to funding it.

That's why, ahead of the federal budget, I shared what I've been hearing from people with disabilities with the PM directly.

Catastrophic hunger in Gaza has reached 1.1 million. Over 30,000 Palestinians have been killed.

The federal government must align its actions with its calls for a ceasefire.

A motion being debated today in Parliament would do exactly this. It's one I'm proud to support.

It's been a decade since two-way all-day GO trains between Kitchener and TO were first promised yet we still don’t even have a timeline for completion.

Recently I had the chance to ask the Metrolinx CEO for answers. Two pages of reply, no timeline.

We'll keep pushing for better

The federal government has already adopted four measures from my motion on international students.

Last week I continued pressing for the others, like limiting permits for institutions where more than 15% of students never enroll in a course.

While Palestinians are killed waiting for food, Canada has yet to reinstate funding to the aid organization millions in Gaza rely on.

I rose again today in Parliament to continue pressing this government to reinstate UNWRA funding and to call on Israel to follow the ICJ ruling.

AJ Labs That's why I'm petitioning the Government of Canada to make good on the #UNWRA funding we've already pledged and help convince the other countries who have pulled out to do the same.

It has never been more important to sign & share!

If you haven't already please sign this parlimentary petition to call the Canada Disability Benefit into force.

Thank you Mike Morrice for this.

The Federal gov had from June 2023 to call the CDB into force so the clock would start on writing regulations.

They. Still. Haven't.

The costs of expanding the TMX pipeline are growing to $35 billion - almost $2,200 per household - all going to a project worsening the climate crisis.

I will keep pressing this government to refocus on our community's priorities instead.
