The Disability Advocate in NL should be someone with a disability - not a relative or someone around PWD. #nlpoli

@fairviewsue Agreed, but that costs $. How many of us can afford that option?
English
@PaulASAP @JackieSeidel1 @GHMansfield Understatement is the way to approach these issues. That or have a great lawyer.
English

@JackieSeidel1 @GHMansfield @fairviewsue The key is to be able to illustrate/prove if injustice exists. Many times our hands are tied. Try too much & you're deemed a whiner
English

@PaulASAP @GHMansfield @fairviewsue The statement is true.
But what happens to disabled people is often neither just nor fair….
The philosopher John Caputo writes about ethics and has a concept I love: “no more fair/more than fair”… that justice is about “more than fair”.

@DavidLeavitt FB is horrible! I only go there for family & birthdays

@kaebee23 I know one in this province that was able to avail of it quickly. Education is key. Many here don't know it exists. We need someone to iron it out 1st tho
English

@PaulASAP I know people who want to access that are suffering that miss these regulated deadlines and then can’t access, and continue to suffer. so yeah there are all kinds of cracks. It’s hard when you see a lot of sides up close.
English

They like watching their loved ones suffering and gasping for every last breath in agony like their dear lord says I’m guessing. Fuck letting them choose to pick when they want to die, make them suffer it out. 🤢. Fucking psychos.

The Alberta government has tabled a bill to drastically restrict who's eligible for medical assistance in dying, better known as MAID. globalnews.ca/news/11736913/…
English

@kaebee23 Regulation. It really needs more regulation. Ppl are falling through the cracks right now.
English

@PaulASAP Unfortunately Marlena is just making this worse. She’s making it so you can suffer if you aren’t gonna “die” within her new time frame. She isn’t protecting people. She’ll just exclude those whose death won’t happen in a year. She’s still using the exact framework that’s there.

For those wondering where @DavidWCochrane has gone, he's posted on Threads. I'm relieved to hear he's coming back. @dcochranenl/post/DV_x1jvlknO" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.com/@dcochranenl/p…

@kaebee23 Ppl online actually had to intervene on their behalf. It would have been brutal!This law may allow more like them to actually get help now instead.
English

@PaulASAP That’s fucking horrific. You do need 2 doctor’s approval to get maid, that’s probably why. I’ve seen several, and I personally know several. All were terminally ill and suffering horribly.
English

@mssinenomine Agreed. If that law was in place before, ppl wouldn't have had to rush & intervene for the one in AB who was poor, depressed & disabled because he wasn't getting help.
English

Today is a historic and hopeful day.
I will not be reading or responding to anyone raising anything that is not directly related to this bill. This matters. Regardless of whatever else Alberta govt does or doesn't do, this bill will save lives.

@Garnet_2203 I'm a big believer that someone will get a tip if they deserve one.
English

Tipping is 💯 important, only if it goes into the pockets of the servers hands. They deserve it
Scott Robertson@sarobertsonca
Canadians are fed up with tipping culture.
English

@kaebee23 I get that. Know one who already opted for it. IMHO not wrong there. The guy in Calgary was poor, disabled & depressed because he wasn't getting proper help. He's now doing okay. The Dr in Calgary was encouraging suicide!
English

@PaulASAP I know. I don’t agree with anyone with being able to access maid for mental heath, and I understand how the poor are being left unhealthy for years to probably end up accepted, but I’ve also seen people facing agonizing death that want to be able to choose not to. 😞

@22_Minutes @markcritch Thanks guys!!! Appreciate the brilliant satire and comic relief!!! ♥️♥️♥️ 🇨🇦

@22_Minutes @markcritch Trump has fed Comedy shows & Late Night hosts with such outrageous info, I had to double check lots! 😂

@acoyne @RaymondGagne10 Increased immigration is what kept us out of recession during COVID.

At the very moment when we most need a growing population...

Just got done talking to @StellaFleeceman and she has agreed to model these pants at the party after that Orange POS kicks the bucket.
English

@EastEndJoe @StellaFleeceman Cool. If she accidentally falls, she won’t get hurt.
