I am a leftist, but I am willing to be critical of left wing parties, establishments, and "women's" orgs that have failed women by pandering to this ideology. These are not personal attacks. We have been captured, we have tried to play along. some of us meant well, some

of us are influenced by other leftist policies or concerns other than defeating gender ideology.
I consider it my number one concern, because I don;t think we can fight for abortion rights, rape shelters, or other women's issues while men take our name and our funding. Some

people don't agree. It is a difference of opinion. But I know where I stand. I care about left wing values and polices deeply, but the defacto left wing parties now are not leftist and are failing us. I'm willing to be non-defensive about that.

Disabled Canadian 🧵As a Disabled person of Canada I require funding to continue my life. My CHRONIC and PERMANENT Medical Conditions require medication and medical aids to continue my life comfortably. If given financial aid, I would then spend that money in my community.
At the moment, I have been prescribed Vyvanse for the results of my "Brain Injuries" (Plural) Vyvanse is a newer stimulant for treatmet of ADHD and Binge eating. It's expensive. My first bottle of 60 pills cost me $84 and that's with some prescription coverage from my spouse.
That is $84 off my $1,284 per month stipend from WCB. I have to pay for an Anti-epileptic medicine, an antidepressant and now a blood pressure med. Overall, the three different meds I take cost roughly $130 per month. Keeping tally, $1154 for my portion of our bills, Utilities.

"Nobody gets left behind."

The. Liberals. Left. Disability. Funding. Out. Of. The. Entire. Budget.

#CanadianDisabilityBenefit #DisabilityTwitter #Budget2022
I've said this a thousand times but I need to state it again after #Budget2022 was officially revealed.

The lack of the #CanadianDisabilityBenefit being on the budget not only breaks promises (Liberals promised to make the CDB, NDP promised to lift disabled folks from poverty) –
It shows that the coercive amendments to MAID in which the Liberals led the rushing through of are meant to be there. It shows that the government is willfully offering disabled people only two choices: forced poverty, or death.

It shows 🇨🇦 is attempting to thrive with eugenics.

"Housing that is affordable for everyone" eh?

I'm Chrystia's constituent (Uni-Rosedale)

My income on ODSP is $1169 per month for *all costs*

The shelter portion is only *$497*

Can you help find me affordable housing for $497 per month?

The #CanadianDisabilityBenefit was not in #Budget2022,

It was in the campaigns, the throne speech, the mandate letter – but not the budget.

Perpetual studies still to come stalling the creation of the benefit, that's where Canada is at.
Provinces have already dropped their responsibilities re: disability supports admittedly waiting on the CDB which the Liberals made a big deal out of.

Disabled folks in legislated poverty now have no chance to be lifted from poverty for the next year. Provincially or Federally.

Poll:
Will the Canadian Disability Benefit receive it's funding in the Liberal Federal Budget 2022 presented tomorrow by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland?

#CanadianDisabilityBenefit #cdnpoli #Liberals #WhereIsTheCanadianDisabilityBenefit #Trudeau #Freeland #Disability #Canada
The answers to this poll are important to me.

As a disabled person, Since '21 I've had the "option" of using MAID due to the C7 amendments rushed through removing the safeguards surrounding it. (Even before the mental illness option for MAID opens in '23) I wasn't able to prior.
By keeping me trapped in legislated poverty, the government is keeping my quality of life poor. I can't afford basic necessities life therapy, rent or medicine. The gov is actively pushing me toward MAID by keeping my quality of life poor with the only other "option" is MAID.
