Posting this as a separate thread bc I have a few things to say ....

Note: There will be cursing.

1/x

First ...

It's well past "about time" that our Fed Gov't gets serious about the horror show that is #LTChomes care in Canada. We have been _warehousing_ our seniors & #PwD for DECADES, believing in the outright LIE that a public / private mix could work.

2/x
When the fuck have private - aka FOR PROFIT - models ever worked to address shortcomings in how we treat "minorities" in society? While Insurance™️ companies sold us the pipe-dream of Freedom55 (remeber that?), seniors that missed the boat got locked away.

3/x
There is NO WORLD in which charging ppl $5000 / mo for _shared_ accommodations in a run-down building, where "nutritious meals" are something we wouldn't normally serve a dog, and residents are _abused_ .... is acceptable. NONE. 🤬

4/x
Further, there is NO WORLD in which, arguably, the _most damaging_ Premier of ON in recent history, Mike Harris, should be trusted to have the "best intentions" of anyone but himself running amok in his blackened heart. That man is human trash 🤬

5/x
#LTChomes need a complete overhaul. We seriously need to rethink why we consider our seniors & #PwD to be disposable. IT IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM.

6/x
Now .... secondly, I wanted to highlight this nugget at the very BOTTOM of the bullet list:

7/x
Does anything about these two lonely bullets stand out? Did you notice that, once again, DISABILITY is explicitly connected to fucking WORKERS!?!?! 🤬 Do those of us #PwD that are not WORKERS not rate for even grudging notice?

8/x
Do we not fawn enough? Should we #PwD spend more time perfecting our "Please Sir, may I have some more?" impressions? Would it help if we all had Disney™️ redesign us so we have sad Bambi eyes - just unfocused enough to be "cute"?

9/x
Would the Fed Gov't & @CQualtro prefer if we all starred in Shriner's or St Jude's hospital style ads - complete with piping voices, child-like innocence, and chronically happy expressions? WOULD #PwD ACTUALLY MATTER ENOUGH THEN!?!?

10/x
Here's my message to @JustinTrudeau , @CQualtro and anyone else involved in the dumpster fire around DISABILITY issues:

GET YOUR FUCKING HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES! We #PwD were dying in droves before this pandemic. This pandemic didn't "cause" the crisis for #PwD .

11/x
The pandemic didn't even amplify our issues. ALL IT DID was put a huge magnifying glass on the completely fucked up priorities our Gov'ts have wrt WHEN they could be bothered to notice: WHEN IT EFFECTS WORKERS!!

Fuck off.

SFFN claims that it has been “a project of the Center For Countering Digital Hate” since 4 May 2020. The relationship between the two organisations, however, appears to date back far longer. And crucially, CCDH is linked to a number of figures on the Labour right. #LabourLeaks

Center for Countering Digital Hate registered at Companies House on 19 Oct 2018, the organisation’s only director was Morgan McSweeney – Labour leader Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. McSweeney was also the campaign manager for Liz Kendall’s leadership bid. #LabourLeaks #StarmerOut

Sir Keir - along with his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney - held his first meeting with the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM). Deliberately used the “anti-Semitism” crisis as a pretext to vilify and then expel a leading pro-Corbyn activist in Brighton and Hove
