Welcome to Ontario, where vulnerable, frail elders can be moved from bed to bed (i.e. furniture to furniture) in LTC away from their community, their family & loved ones...To a place that might not have enough staff to care for them...Wow. What an ageist and ableist policy!

The absence of disability in most diversity, equity and inclusion programs is shameful and harmful. It is not an oversight. It is ableism.

Man on bus to me a wheelchair user: “Hey. They changed the rules. You don’t have to wear that mask anymore. Start living.” The only way for disabled people to “live” is to take precautions that save our lives. Others should do the same. Then, we can all “start living.”

"She can't get inside the building because of her wheelchair." No. She can't get inside because the building is not accessible. The building has a barrier that does not let her in. The wheelchair is not the problem; the building's lack of access is the problem. Words matter.

Another disabled person who would otherwise be alive died via MAiD this week, due to it being impossible to afford at home support "Ultimately it was not a genetic disease that took me out, it was a system," Kovac wrote in an obituary to loved ones. cbc.ca/news/canada/ma…

'Some doctors said their office scales could not accommodate #wheelchairs, so they had told patients to go to a supermarket, a grain elevator, a cattle processing plant or a zoo to be weighed, or they would tell a new patient the practice was closed.' nytimes.com/2022/10/19/hea…
