We need more people, both #disabled and #nondisabled to get on the #publicly funded #National #Disability #Insurance #Plan ( #NDIP ) bus for those with lifelong disabilities and their loved ones.
Much more noise is required. One voice, one plan. WE DEMAND A NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE PLAN !!!!

This petition isn’t getting nearly enough signatures. Do people not care at all about persons with disabilities and how it can affect their families, just because it doesn’t affect them? Just sign it and be sure to confirm the verification email that follows.

You simply can’t get rid of #disability and #poverty, without getting rid of the cost of disability first. We can do this by creating a publicly funded national disability insurance plan #NDIP for all those with lifelong disabilities.

Great idea. Better hurry though. Oh, if you are devising Categories, be sure to include #disability and National Disability Insurance Plan #NDIP

Do you care that #disabled people in #Canada and their families do not receive the basic disability support they need? If not, you could/will be next.

So do you care enough to do something about it? Join and follow us.

As the 1% blame the 99% all the problems are because of them.

But is the crack big enough to let the light shine in for those with lifelong disabilities and their families left to shoulder the cost of disability through no fault of their own?
That light is a National Disability Insurance Plan. Sign and share this petition:

We’ve laid the groundwork that would dramatically improve the lives of those with #disabilities and their families in #Canada. Now you need to do YOUR part. Share and sign the petition, but also tell your MP to include it in the fall budget.

@meidascanada.ca should support a publicly funded national disability insurance plan to revolutionize the disability support system in Canada. It’s time Canada meets its obligation under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Sign and share:

My latest interview

“It’s really hard to trust people at this point, especially the government,” Tremblay said in a Zoom interview with the Star. “We’re at the point where we’re dying or we’re losing interest in politics altogether … #Canada’s a lie to a lot of us.”

Thanks for the support

#disability support services fall far short of what is required. Many think disabled people are well looked after. This is far from reality.
Please sign and share this Petition that would provide support based on need for all those with lifelong disabilities.

If you’re not disabled, you’re just not disabled YET. #NDIP Tell your MP you DEMAND A NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE PLAN. !!!

So many “strategies”. How about one solution for all. A publicly funded national disability insurance program for all those with lifelong disabilities based on need from cradle to grave.
@pattyhajdu.bsky.social

I would add: lack of administrative support, deceit and trust.

This is why your child is not getting Educational Assistant support.

This is why there is no Special Education Teacher to help your child catch up on basic math or literacy skills.

This is why the ventilation in your child’s classroom is not working.

Ontario to require AEDs on construction sites The Heart and Stroke Foundation says that 60,000 cardiac arrests take place outside hospitals in Canada every year.

Not minimizing your work here as 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but we also have our own genocide of disabled and poor in this country.
We need a publicly funded national disability insurance plan for all those with long-term disabilities from cradle to grave.

Could it be more than resilience? Is there still hope, bravery, fear of death?
If we had a publicly funded national disability insurance plan for all those with long-term disability, wouldn’t there be less need for this extreme ‘resilience’?

It’s hard to explain what you see in massive Gore Park Line. People who have nothing - not even shoes. Each week I meet people who are recently homeless living on the street or in encampments including seniors, veterans and young women. We must do more for our neighbours #Onpoli #Hamont #CanadaSky

The Special Education funding model in #OntEd is broken, and it's hurting our kids.

We need:

1) Funding based off of actual needs and programs
2) Funding based on current demographics data (not outdated census data from 20 years ago)
3) Funding indexed to inflation

Certainly applicable.

So the government has not included a Minister of Disabilities

What we need is a Minister of National Disability Insurance Plan #NDIP Canada could meet its obligation to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

One voice. WE DEMAND A NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE PLAN!!
