So glad to see the Disability Without Poverty campaign succeeding. This feels like a good step in the right direction towards a #UBI in #Canada

via #Leadnow

"With the rising costs of living across the country, it’s becoming harder for many of us to put food on the table. And more than ever, people with disabilities are falling through the cracks.

But, the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) could help stop that. Just this week Bill C-22 — the act to reduce poverty and support the financial security of persons with disabilities with the CDB — passed its third reading with a unanimous vote from all parties. 1,2 The fight is not over: the bill must get through the Senate so it can become law. And critically, the Liberals must provide funding for it.

MP Mike Morrice — along with disability advocates across the country — is calling for funding to be designated in the 2023 budget. With multi-partisan support, and over 89% of Canadians supporting the CDB, this should be a no-brainer for the Liberal government. 3

A groundswell of public support could send a loud and clear message: people with disabilities will not get left behind and the government must put its money where its mouth is."

An urgent plea for the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit to become law in 2023

It's imperative that the CDB legislation is prioritized when the HoC resumes this month.

For so many people w/ disabilities, it is a matter of life and death.

...and for the Provincial OR Federal government to implement an immediate #DERB (Disability Emergency Relief Benefit) of $1000/mo on top of current Disability Support to remain in place until CDB C-22 takes effect! #NoMorePovertyPWD (Persons With Disabilities) 🇨🇦 #CDBby23 https://twitter.com/Ow_My_Back_/status/1603075404025450496

Dear #JustinTrudeau
@JustinTrudeau,
It has been 773 full days since you promised the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit to #Disabled #Canadians.

I know your not even on this platform yet and I don't care. The treatment of Disabled Canadians must be broadcast and shared everywhere possible. It's not all your fault and you are part of the solution, but you must act with urgency. Apathy costs lives. #CDBby23 Pass bill #C22 asap.
