Simon J Duffy Inclusion Canada Tim stainton Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship Not Dead Yet UK Lot of disabled people from various countries have reported being ignored in triage & sometimes ambulance being cancelled during Covid surges.

Some of the first to access MAiD in prison were aboriginal. The 1st was ”escorted by correctional officers” before being “handcuffed to the bed' accompanied by prison officers when he was euthanized. Is this autonomy? aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
