Read. This (and share). Please. It is SO very important.

There’s finally proposed legislation for an accessibility act in Alberta — Bill 206 — but as someone with a significant disability, the comments here are gut-wrenching. There's an awful lot of animosity and outright disregard for people with disabilities — we get looked down upon a lot, like our needs are a burden or punchline. Those kinds of comments really suck when you're the one living the daily barriers they dismiss and demonstrate the attitude we have to face every day. Yeah, a lot of the comments are politically motivated… but accessibility isn’t partisan. It’s basic dignity, and it could affect any of us at any moment — even temporarily. As a power-wheelchair user in Edmonton with my service rottie 🦽🐕🦺, much of my "normal" day sucks because: • High thresholds block me from coffee shops/local stores — a cheap ramp could fix it • Even in new strip malls, most places don’t have a power door button, so I’m often stuck begging strangers for help just to get inside • “Accessible” bathrooms too tiny to turn or close the door • "Accessible" Parking that won’t fit my van ramp, it really sucks to get blocked out of your vehicle when it's cold out. Then the big stuff hits harder: • Doctor/clinic offices without ramps/auto doors or even worse, adjustable exam tables a person can transfer onto • Finding accessible rentals? Nearly impossible — sure they have to have ramps and elevators, but the individual units aren't required to be accessible at all. Buying an accessible house is even harder. Developers could be required to offer an accessible option when they build new communities, but until they have to do this, they won't. Most people just don’t care because it doesn’t affect them… yet. Everyone becomes disabled at some point, even temporarily. When it effects them, they’ll wish Alberta had proactive standards. The Human Rights Act? 2+ years of stress per complaint. We’re forced to beg/negotiate constantly. Bill 206 flips it: standards, plans, trained staff upfront so barriers get removed before we fight for them. Dignity over daily battles. Alberta — support this now. I don't care what political party you support. Because it isn't about politics. It's about being able to have a life with some semblance of quality. #Bill206 #AccessibleAlberta #DisabilityRights @MarieFrRenaud

I love that my gas is more expensive because the leader of a country I don’t live in started an unnecessary war with another country I don’t live in to distract citizens from the fact that he’s a sex predator and a pedo.

This! Said wfe here. Unfortunately this happens more often than not. @RogersPlace is not the most accessibility friendly at the best of times, this does nothing to help. #Disappointed #YEG

How much more money do we all have to pay for tickets to @RogersPlace for the escalators and elevators by the LRT entrance to work? Asking on behalf of my wife with a prosthetic leg.

I have strange thoughtst when I can't sleep. Like "If you were going to be chased through the forest by a giant vegetable, what vegetable would that be?
First answer I can come up with is broccoli. Then again, maybe angry carrots or zucchini.
You?

The @cityofcalgary is starting a project where they have all-terrain wheelchairs available for use in some parks. This is a great idea. It's worth the 3 hour drive for us to check this out. Good job Calgary!
@CityofEdmonton, this is an example of making accessibility a priority. You should follow this lead.

Our girl is home. It's been two weeks since we said goodbye. The house is so quiet, yet her absence is deafening.
How blessed we were to love, and be loved by someone so incredible, that makes saying goodbye so hard.
Always & forever, our girl ❤️

@integritycdn A lot of these same types of questions arise should Alberta separate. Neither is good & I am genuinely concerned for our futures...in either scenario.
