11/11 Removing this dedicated focus isn't just a risk to progress; it's a poor start, signaling disability issues may continue as an afterthought. Cabinet titles matter. Amplify if you agree. #Advocacy #HumanRights

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Marc Garneau—it was wonderful to have known and worked with him over the years. I am profoundly grateful for his life of public service to Canada. 🇨🇦 🙏🏽 Sincere condolences and ❤️ to his family and friends. RIP Marc.

Michael J. Prince 100%. Kurt Goddard deserves all the credit. It surprised me that Min François-Philippe Champagne (FPC) 🇨🇦’s Finance team didn’t conduct this impact analysis. Or if they did, did they just hope our community wouldn’t catch it? The needs for disability lens analysis across govt has never been more clear.

Michael J. Prince 1000% Michael. We need a disability lens placed on all policy proposals. Just like the GBA+ lens. Although my spidey sense tells me the government was aware of this. We will continue our fight to have this changed and a disability policy lens.

I see many applauding the meeting of 2% NATO target. But the easiest announcement is one where expenditures are to be increased. We know Carney is unlikely to blow a giant deficit into his fiscal mix, so the question should be, what expenditures are to be cut?

These commitments will likely squeeze out many opportunities and responsibilities for the federal government in addressing pressing and dire needs for Canadians in abject poverty

Today Canada became weaker. Bill C-5 gives unchecked powers in a few officials, overrides laws of Parliament, & steamrolls constitutional rights. Our economy won’t grow by creating conditions of uncertainty & conflict… Our sovereignty is not protected by being anti-democratic.

More broadly, the PM has technocratic capital he can spend defending poorly designed legislation. But gosh would we all be better served if that capital was actually used to design and implement genuinely high quality legislation.

No, It’s a provincial matter, Ottawa wouldn’t step in to block a BC Crown Corporation decision on security grounds, and Freeland’s demand for security guarantees is cosmetic at best since the Trudeau government awarded a contract to the same shipbuilder a few years back.

Dear Media, STOP calling RFK Jr a vaccine "skeptic". He is an antivaxx liar. An anti-science fearmonger. An exploitive brand builder. He has NOTHING to do with thoughtful skepticism. Don't normalize false balance, middle ground fallacies, or his harmful BS.
