Today was an amazing day. I’ve never thought this would happen: to speak my language in Ontario Legislature. Meegwetch for the support.
What a day to work at the legislature! Proud of @solmamakwa and my coworkers who made this historic day happen - allowing indigenous languages to be spoken and transcribed in the house. This is decolonization in action. Now other gov’ts must follow suit #onpoli #cdnpoli

The 1st annual report card by @Disability_WP gives gov a failing grade: I for incomplete. Some key findings: People with disabilities are 2x as likely to live in poverty than those without disability, with even higher rates of poverty for disabled women. bit.ly/44y52s9

Great crowd of disabled and Deaf and marchers and allies at #TorontoDisabilityPrideMarch. We’re hearing rousing speeches from folks demanding disability justice, livable incomes and health care, and dignity as a human right from our ableist governments. #TOPoli.

Our new definition: “MAiD Grooming is the intentional process used by persons in positions of perceived “authority” to desensitize and manipulate the broader population into believing that the euthanizing of persons with disabilities is good, a kindness and an equality right."
