Alarmingly, Dr. Roy goes on to recommend that MAiD not only be provided to mature minors, but to infants under the age of one "with severe deformations and grave and severe syndromes." To be clear: People with disabilities have a right to life on an equal basis with others.

Before I was born my mom was told I wouldn't walk, talk, eat or function on my own. They tried to pressure her to terminate her pregnancy based on their ideas of what a valuable life looks like. She didn't listen. Doctors are ableist and *often wrong*. Disabled lives have value!

This is a *wild* suggestion to make especially from someone from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Quebec to make. We can't just decide that disabled infants should be put down. Doctors aren't omniscient & this is eugenics. Dr. Roy is suggesting the right to murder infants.

Spencer Hawkswell asks a good question: "The reality is that not 100% of patients receive palliative care, right. So I think it goes back to understanding what does "adequate" access to palliative care look like?" The question is similar to this one: https://t.co/qUIOMIoO2E

Today, we are launching #ThisisAbleism, a project funded by AllState Canada. We asked people with disabilities and their families about ableism and its impact on their lives. Find out more on our website: https://t.co/XucwLxBPES

“It just never started. It was so frustrating because no one took it up even though so many disabled people were talking about this.” #ON failed to accurately count #COVID19 outbreaks in #LTC facilities for people with #disabilities.

1 / 4 One in five Ontarians has a disability & COVID19 hits them especially hard. 59% of UK COVID19 deaths occurred in people with disabilities (17% of their pop). We detail what Ontario should do to reach everyone who wants a vaccine. #COVID19ON

"This is going to be a complete recipe for disaster." @KristaCarrNB was interviewed on @BBCWorld about how Canada's lack of disability supports and institutionalized ableism make #BillC7 a direct threat to the wellbeing of people with disabilities.

"When he talks about caring, compassion, and taking care of Canadians why do they fail to listen to the voices of people with disabilities and account for their compassionate care in living while he rushes to this final decision in their death?" @MatthewGreenNDP on #BillC7.

“on one side stood a Liberal MP & a Bloc MP saying that they respect his autonomous right to choose death, and that if he has been suffering a lot & has a mental illness, they will get a doctor who can push him over the edge” powerful reflections #BillC7

I’m the ONLY #Sask senator to vote NO to Trudeau’s #AssistedSuicide for #MentalIllness Bill #C7. My role in #SenCA is to represent SK. What I heard from hundreds, was that Sask people don’t want expanded assisted suicide & DEFINITELY do not want mental illness included! #skpoli

To my #SenCA colleagues: Before you vote on Bill #C7 #AssistedSuicide for #MentalIllness, please be 100% certain what you're voting for. Govt amendment makes it crystal clear that the 2 year period & expert panel is NOT to determine WHETHER to allow it, only HOW to do it.

"We will continue to fight for you, the vulnerable." There is more work to be done to support vulnerable people in Canada's healthcare system. #BillC7

Inclusion Canada has developed a jurisdictional scan of vaccine prioritization policies for every province and territory in Canada. This doc compares policies and illustrates which gov’ts are supporting people #disabilities. https://t.co/n3uMGxPf10

It's hard to put aside the vote in the HoC on C-7. Hard to understand how Canada could ignore the UN, PwD, disability orgs, doctors, their voices, their warnings. When the next PwD dies unnecessarily, remember this Canada, promises to do better won't fix it, you can't fix dead

NDP Disabilities critic calls for prioritization of people with disabilities for COVID-19 vaccination. @JoelHardenONDP

“The govt’s obligation is not to kill its citizens, but to protect them.” People with disabilities reflect on the disturbing consequences of the passage of #BillC7.

"Bill C-7 sickens me at my very core and calls into question my worth and validity as a human being." Nancy Hansen is a professor and #disability rights advocate. In a recent piece in CBC she discusses why #BillC7 threatens people with disabilities.
