Thanks Joeita and Gurpreet for the information.

Great video and chat with Ely! I have right sided hemi parisis and love camping. I go frontcountry and backcountry. Backcountry is more difficult for me(especially canoeing)! I can go backpacking alone on some trails(Frontenac is one place accessible for me even when alone) and others I definatrly need help with and of course some not even with help. Thanks to youtubers documenting trails they've done, it helps figure out what I may be capable of. Setting up and packing up campsites takes me much longer and tires me out more than the average person. I can resonate with what was discussed and I can also relate to rejection related to having a disability.

Aloha and Mahalo for sharing all your information for us blind folks big hugs❤

This is very helpful. Thank you!

What she describes as desiring is actually a natural consequence of inclusion and what she views as "include into what?" (ie into a neurotypical structure/system) is actually integration. "The terms inclusion and integration are often used synonymously, confused or mixed up. Inclusion means creating an environment that allows all people to participate on an equal basis. Integration means affiliation, which entails conformation to the environment."

Hi I'm wondering how much I can get last 10 years disability tax credit for adult Thanks ?

If you are disabled, you struggle on every point, you have no relationships or sex life to had insult to injury.

Beutifully eloquent and perceptive… thanks so much 💜🦻👩‍🦯⚡️✨ 31:01

As it relates to regulations are you we may have to go to the Supreme Court for a reference ruling so that we can get the government actually set a firm timeline for them to come up with a policies and implement implementation guidelines

This government as it stands, should really look at other jurisdictions such as the Netherlands as it relates to how disability benefit is supposed to be dealt with and paid out this government takes no no accountability of the people that actually are trying to better themselves and trying to get jobs, but they are not recognizing the challenges of recognizing either the challenges of finding employment or getting recognition for the education that we already have.

Joeita and Ron thank you for this. 👍🏻✨️ Stars in the wilderness. The challanges don't get easier as timegoes by. It's soul crushing and mind bending how much more burocratic burden is added when all our energy is put into the day to day survival. What direction M.A.I.D. takes in the future also is in the back of the mind.🌟 Why parents might seem to wait a long time is...lack of information and then access. We've gone in circles for 20 years!! It is amazing that social workers,doctors, family accountant etc. have NO CLUE! I've seen in my crystal ball, it will take a team to pick up the job one or two parents poured all the love,energy and extra finances into protecting disabled offspring. Ohhh, it is so complex, sometimes looking to the future, or lack of hope sets in and you just operate in numb silence. There is so much more 'keep trying' ahead. I am seeing it is different from province to province...not even logical...it's a political game. Blessings ✨️

Hello, my name is Ryan Richard Nealon. I’ve had a disability since 1981. I am. I certainly agree with this individual that that we need a national insurance policy strictly for people with disabilities. And we need the ability to hold doctors and medical professionals, responsible for the hardships and the trauma of being born with a disability. I I completely agree that we need a national insurance policy for persons with disabilities which is affordable to obtain and affordable to maintain and it should be prorated from the day. We are born.

I'm sick and tired or having to ask and pay my doctors for renewals of handicap sticker, work absences, bus passes etc. It costs me so much money just to be recognized and exist as a person with a disability. I love this idea of a national insurance.

I would love to see this in Canada!

Thank you!

Thank you for this video!

A-MAZ-ING!!!! I especially appreciated the opening explanation of how weight-shaming in the service of misogyny was deployed at an almost entirely all-boys school to make her feel unwelcome there as a girl without overtly stating that she was not welcome there because of her gender. Also, just wondering--is Kate Manne a vegan, by any chance? Her comment about body reflexivity also applying to non-human animals indicates to me that she might be.

Great interview! I'll try to visit Drumheller on my next trip out West.

Excellent presentation! Very helpful. I have a question. I understood one can claim for disability transfer and also care giver, is this correct? If so, how much is the maximum credit for care giver which goes on top of disability transfer? Thank you!

Not to forget the additional financial costs ppl with disabilities are forced to pay. During the height of covid 19, i have a friend who is disabled. Due to the nature of her disabilities she was vulnerable. She also lives alone, without support system. As a result she depended on receiving EVERYTHING via delivery. Groceries were the worst. We discovered on top of paying and tipping for delivery, often the stores mark up prices of items when purchased online. Ie. Costco Kirkland brand toliet paper is $21.99 in store and $26.99 on line. That is common on 99.9% of items. Unfortunately for my friend, delivery was not a "luxery" but an absolute "necessity"!!! We live in Toronto Ontario.

The $200 was a slap in the face! That won't do anything to bring us up to the poverty line. The government wants us to choose MAID instead of supporting us to live. I worked, I paid taxes into CPP for the disability insurance it's not a handout. Refugees get more per month to survive than I do on disability.

Jefferson Pearcey 2 minutes ago This is a very frustrating conversation to watch. When we hear about the sitting government giving a quarter of a BILLION dollars to contracts that did nothing and then watch this conversation it feels like this country doesn't give a flying hoot about its disabled population. It is not a stretch to see a tent in a park in your future with this egregious lack of attention to the actual realities people with disabilities face. The reality is "out of sight- out of mind" for the population. Depressing, just depressing.

because the pandemic was planned thats why they had all the numbers ready.

Anyone look at LawPro’s policies to undermine legal services to people with disabilities yet? Mr Lepofsky is aware of the issues and these stand in front of addressing these issues

Isn't it fair to say that some of her defenses of large/fat persons are just whitewashing? It's true that fat shaming is bigoted. It's also true that weight preferences in dating or family dynamics, may *not* be bigoted. And, can't we agree that you can't paint all large persons with the same brush? Some people *do* consume too much and live sedentary lifestyles. That is a *fact*. However, there are other persons that have metabolic and or glandular disorders. It's not all about shame, or body positivity. It's about the wolf in sheep's clothing that health issues are causally linked to obesity, and maybe open and shame-free discussions about obesity need to be had. Just because you've lived through a horrible trauma, and it indeed sounds awful, doesn't mean whitewashing the obesity issue is the only possible outcome. People need knowledge about diabetes, CV disease, and benefits of approaching weight loss with patience and well-grounded expectations, good science, and not marketing-driven factoids.
