Small disability group in Alberta shedding light on the increased 🇨🇦&🇺🇸 conservative assault on the #disabled. Strength in numbers so please follow! #AISH Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped: our disability program stripped by Alberta's MAPLE MAGA.
Remember, RESPECTING Palestinian citizens and CRITICIZING Israeli government actions does NOT make you an antisemite.
PS This post is personal to a member here due to ongoing attacks on Palestinians in Gaza that have not caused deaths but have maimed her family (amputations, paralysis, blindness..)
Eagerly done and shared.
Please support this petition calling for a parliamentary investigation into foreign (American) interference in our country. It is sponsored by my former colleague Don Davies

Your sentence could have stopped at "I do not think he could jog" and we all would have laughed and agreed.

Well that just made me cry. Beautifully done photo.
More hospital ER closures thanks to our Alberta #UCP conservative government. It is impossible to prepare in advance for an emergency but at least be aware of the closures and times. Good luck. (hugs) #AISH
A metaphor but a real life one I am going through:
I am as attached to our home of nearly 50 years as a person can be but no amount of gutting it is going to get rid of the mold and rot we recently found. Like any reasonable person would, I know it needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

"But I had to wait 8 months for an MRI for my hip pain so private health care is worth it" argued my sister.
So off to the US she went for OUTpatient hip-replacement for $30,000 but there were complications. She became an INpatient & her total bill was $110,000.
Hello 2nd mortgage at 62. #Abpoli
Attention @bsky.app
You SERIOUSLY need a SAD button (or something similar) for posts like this that we are disgusted with.
It is obvious why so many people cannot find it in their hearts to click your 'LOVE' emoji after reading this post.

The suffering caused by the Alberta #UCP Government is real.

Now being owned by private equity (Onex), no surprise that #WestJet would do this:
"With WestJet's new rule, most of its flights do not accept wheelchairs over 300 pounds, leaving many disabled passengers suddenly stranded." #AISH #disability #PWD

Bill 12 brings major changes to #AISH, and people deserve clear information. I put together a plain-language breakdown of the legislation and what #ADAP means in practice.

Underrated reply of the week.
“Albertans who fail to renew their health card on time will lose AHCIP coverage.
“Insured services may be declined until coverage is reinstated. Emergency services are still provided, but the patient may be billed if uninsured,”

He'd be posting pics & videos and immediately advertising his upcoming "Tucker The Demon-slayer" recreation, starring Kid Rock.
MARK YOU CALENDARS NOW, IN EDMONTON - OCT. 30/25
This crazy #ADAP plan by #JasonNixon & the UCP must be scrapped. Taking $200 from those on #AISH & limiting benefits is totally unacceptable.
Be there & express your support.

Yes, the following IS true. (I just got off the phone with 811/Alberta Health Services to verify.)
As the article's author states, it's like Maple MAGA is trying to prove Covid is not real and can be cured w/ Ivermectin.

Do we start with…
“Who wears a suit to a hay bail ride?”
Or
“Why is the UCP caucus retreat in a hall covered with scripture?”
Or
If we’re going with bible verses, why not “Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great”

Some of us cannot (due to our own circumstances) but as someone who can't, I laugh wholeheartedly at this, given the circumstance that the satirical comment was written for.
Bravo. (And F_ck Trump & his followers for attacking the most vulnerable.)
Thousands of us in the disabled community know with certainty that a lack of it brings sorrow and more suffering for most who live at or below the poverty line. #AISH
Ewwww.... but true.
You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.
It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.
We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.
