Why do disabled Canadians living on provincial disability assistance have fewer rights than other Canadians not on such assistance?

Because it’s permitted to treat those on provincial social assistance / welfare differently from other Canadians under Section 6 - Mobility Rights -  Subsection 3 - Limitation - of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This can include their ability to: be married; travel outside their province; earn and keep income; be eligible or ineligible for disability based on family income and assets; and keep income streams that are not clawed back.

What will your party do to address the ableism in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

In just under 4 hours, I will be driving to the airport, thoughts rotating inside my head. I will arrive and stand at the gate, with butterflies busting through my ribcage. My eyes will be on the arrival board, waiting for your plane to stay, “Landed”. My palms will become sweaty and my heartrate will increase with the thought of seeing you

I will talk to myself, to keep my emotions at bay. “Settle Tiegan, be patient”. I will start to daydream of that first kiss, the first moment I see you walk through those glass doors, in your long navy dress and big smile.

In under 4 hours, The doors will open and passangers will file out. At first I won’t see you but then our eyes will connect and my stomach will drop and my eyes won’t be able to stop shining. I will finally be able experience the moment we have been talking about for weeks. All of my senses will finally be engulfed with you; your scent, your gentle touch, your voice and laugh and your eyes.

Canada gives less financial support to disabled people than they receive in most OECD countries See: OECD (2021), Public spending on incapacity (indicator). doi: 10.1787/f35b71ed-en (Accessed on 23 March 2021) https://lnkd.in/gVp6Vyp “Public spending on incapacity refers to spending due to sickness, disability and occupational injury. It includes disability cash benefits that are comprised of cash payments on account of complete or partial inability to participate gainfully in the labour market due to disability. The disability may be congenital, or the result of an accident or illness during the victim’s lifetime. It also includes spending on occupational injury and disease, which records all cash payments such as paid sick leave, special allowances and disability related payments such as pensions, if they are related to specific occupational injuries and diseases. Sickness cash benefits related to loss of earnings because of a temporary inability to work due to illness are also recorded. This indicator excludes paid leave related to sickness or injury of a dependent child which is recorded under family cash benefits. Social expenditure on services for the disabled people encompasses services such as day care and rehabilitation services, home-help services and other benefits in kind. This indicator is measured in percentage of GDP.” #disability #humanrights #cdnpoli #bcpoli #ontpoli #crpd BC Disability Caucus Nicholas Simons, MLA for Powell River-Sunshine Coast #elxn44 #CdnElxn2021 #disabled #ykpoli #QcPoli #OntPoli #DisabilityBenefits #Poverty #abpoli #CRPD #SecureTheFuture #BeDaring #Agirpourlavenir #nlpoli #mbpoli
