We need strong shared leadership from both the federal and provincial governments to pull everyone currently receiving PWD benefits above the poverty line. ow.ly/UtL750RnllK.

A recent study reveals the strong link between social connections and end-of-life experiences. As we age, maintaining relationships isn't just about socializing—it's a key factor in managing symptoms and healthcare choices. #socialhealth #humanconnection news-medical.net/news/20240404/…

Now in wide release, my latest YouTube episode where @LindsayTedds and I talk about the two biggest issues in the federal budget—capital gains, and the Canada Disability Benefit #cdnpoli youtu.be/HK8jsODoL_g

“In this space we seek to turn down the volume of the outside world. We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere. We call each other to more truth and love” - Micky Scottbey Jones Here's the poem: shorturl.at/cLZ59 Such good thinking at the #NPA2024 Conference.

“You cannot be truly humble, unless you truly believe that life can and will go on without you.” - Mokokoma Mokhonoana Excellent, relevant and heartfelt session on Cultural Competence in Death and Dying at the #NPA2024 Conference

“Families with children with disabilities have an extremely difficult time finding accessible housing. If they can’t find a home already made accessible, then most families must go in debt or fundraise so they can have modifications made to the home.”

It appears the opposition is listening. We call on the govn't to act responsibly. 📢NO, to assisted suicide for mental illness, period... cbc.ca/news/politics/…
