I got off a plane to find my independence stripped from me. This cannot continue happening to disabled people. This #wheelchair is my mobility. My entire life is powered by this wheelchair. Another flight, another broken wheelchair damaged by #airlines.

While I agree education is key, the ON gov not understanding the necessity of penalties is one of the main reasons the province has failed disabled Ontarians in realizing the #AODA. I spoke with @CBCPLS about this dire failure to uphold human rights.

This is horrific. This is exactly why we need stronger standards and regulations that enforce and protect the rights and safety of passengers with disabilities. #RightsOnFlights.

Hiring Peter Dinklage to play the goat that is banished for being different hits so hard on a disability representation front. The choices in @wickedmovie are so smart - really showcasing a commitment to disability inclusion in film.

I’m proud to represent Canada, a country that I learned really does stand in a leadership role—one that others can learn from in many ways towards advancing disability rights and accessibility.

But one thing is clear: disability inclusion is a fundamental issue that every country must recognize as their responsibility to address.
