#OnThisDay 2018, I was invited by late Hon. David Onley, former Lt. Governor of Ontario, to participate in 1st public consultion for 3rd #AODA review.

Our role is to educate and raise awareness about the importance of digital accessibility, advocating for standards that ensure no one is left behind in our tech-driven world.

This thread is truly amazing and also shocking. How can Kamal Khera live with herself? This is the most dishonest and shameful thing Ive seen in a long time and PP got ejected from the house today…. Oh, Canada…….

'When you look at the details and say 'what, $200 a month? And not starting until July 2025 with further conditions for eligibility? We called for an end to legislated poverty for people with disabilities. That's no in here.'

Elizabeth May, Green Party Co-Leader

A ramp slope is good but usable accessible design has many more important features not shown here. Don't know what's missing or why this is a bad example? Blame #design #education & magazines

Gray: So, you’re the only minister responsible for [the] #CanadaDisabilityBenefit , is that correct?

Khera: That is correct.

Gray: Yeah. Uh, so the buck stops with you?

Khera: That’s right. And the right…

Gray: So, minister, when did you decide…

Khera: [immature smirk]

Dear Jagmeet Singh,

It’s your job to get Canadians with disabilities a much better deal.

The NDP were elected for moments like these.

The disability community needs representation that gets results and answers.

Don’t let the Liberals off the hook.

#Grief impacts energy. You may have been a massively productive person in your life Before. And now? Of course you're exhausted. Your mind and your body are doing the best they can to function and survive under very severe circumstances. How has grief impacted your energy levels?

Kamal Khera Tracy Gray Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ “You told the people in the disability community that you would catch them when they fell. You gave them these promises, and then not only did you not catch them, you stepped out of the way and didn’t tell them.” - Michelle Ferreri at #HUMA

The Liberal minister is not serious and has not done the work on the Canada Disability Benefit. #LiberalFail .

No new info from Kamal Khera at #HUMA . Despite pressing questions from Tracy Gray, Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ & other committee members, there are no answers from gov't about why the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit is so inadequately funded and #inaccessible to #pwd . We expect & demand more.

.Department for Transport taking over two years to decide on a funding request to improve #access at 3 stations in Devon means local older & disabled people are unlikely to be able to use trains to get out & about.

Why is the decision taking so long?👇bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Sign the petition: Restore Real Rent Control in Ontario. The Rent Stabilization Act, tabled by MPP Bhutila Karpoche would stop rents from skyrocketing, ending current incentive for landlords to unfairly evict tenants and jack up the rent. #Right2Housing kristynwongtam.ca/realrentcontro…

Them: “ I don’t need to build my home with accessibly! I will just renovate if I become disabled!”

So, let me get this right. You, as a newly disabled individual, adjusting to a new reality, are going to take on the project, cost, and all else associated with a major renovation?

Kamal Khera Tracy Gray Bonita Zarrillo ⚖️ Michelle Ferreri There is nothing in what is being proposed that actually came from the disability community. I’d like for the Minster to table a list of people and organizations that requested a benefit of $200/month, access only through the DTC, and not until July 2025” - Mike Morrice at #HUMA

This is how legislation and lack of enforcement, also failure to update post secondary education is failing intent of

As a parent whose child uses her phone as an accessibility device in class, in a school not funded well enough to provide her with a chrome book because of provincial cuts, this is hugely wrong.

'She was angry. She said she could not understand why I would want to go on living. I told her to get out of my room. I can still see the disgust in her eyes. I hope she can still see the rage in mine.' G Peters 👩🏻‍🦽@mssinenomine.bsky.social policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
