Remember, RESPECTING Palestinian citizens and CRITICIZING Israeli government actions does NOT make you an antisemite. PS This post is personal to a member here due to ongoing attacks on Palestinians in Gaza that have not caused deaths but have maimed her family (amputations, paralysis, blindness..)

More hospital ER closures thanks to our Alberta #UCP conservative government. It is impossible to prepare in advance for an emergency but at least be aware of the closures and times. Good luck. (hugs) #AISH

A metaphor but a real life one I am going through: I am as attached to our home of nearly 50 years as a person can be but no amount of gutting it is going to get rid of the mold and rot we recently found. Like any reasonable person would, I know it needs to be torn down and rebuilt. #AbolishIce

"But I had to wait 8 months for an MRI for my hip pain so private health care is worth it" argued my sister. So off to the US she went for OUTpatient hip-replacement for $30,000 but there were complications. She became an INpatient & her total bill was $110,000. Hello 2nd mortgage at 62. #Abpoli

Albertans Refuse to Let Her Divide Us
Dear Canadian Neighbours, 
We are Albertans who are proud Canadians, and we stand for a united country. We care deeply about our national values and people with disabilities in every province. Premier Smith's actions are divisive and hurting Albertans. She is threatening to claw back the Canada Disability Benefit—a vital national program all Canadians pay for through federal taxes. This calculated attempt to make Albertans with disabilities suffer is meant to pit Albertans against the rest of Canada. We refuse to let her divide us.
With hope for a stronger, united Canada, Albertans for Disability Rights


HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Email your Member of Parliament and DEMAND that Albertans with disabilities receive the full federal benefit, just like fellow Canadians in every other province. Stand with us to make sure Canada keeps its promise to its most vulnerable citizens.

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy. It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of. We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

Wow. I have been told English is a very hard language to learn. As an aside, after I came out of my coma, I just mumbled random English words (word salad). It was another couple of months before I spoke full sentences again. Speaking is still difficult but if I go slow, I can write properly. :)

People always tell me that I should have more support. That if my level of function was really “that bad” I would have help. Please believe me when I tell you help doesn’t magically appear when you become disabled. Unless you’re rich or have family support, you’re on your own.

It is so hard to ask for help, especially when you’re disabled & chronically ill. When you’ve spent most of your life being treated as “less than” or a drain, you worry anyone you ask for help will judge you. It takes a surprising amount of courage, so the best thing you can do is be kind

The fact that the UCP government is having to force the severely disabled on AISH over on to this work program proves that ADAP does NOT benefit the disabled, despite what the UCP Conservatives say. Again, leave it up to those on #AISH who are already able to work and let them choose. 2/2

I want to give those of you who have not been exposed to this new strain of Covid a warning. It is very insidious. I have had it now for almost 3 weeks it does not want to go away. I thought I was getting better, but now having a problem breathing. Please be careful especially the immunocompromised.

Worries About Vaccination Rates In Dogs

As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spread among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs and their owners to becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal VACCINE found 40% of Americans believe canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.
