Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 02/12/2025 But we still have much to do: • Greater Eligibility for WSIB, CPP-D, and member programs like CNIB Cardholders. • More accessible, simpler registration. • Move from 50% to free transit for all disabled and low-income riders." 2/2 041
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 02/12/2025Yesterday, our Disabled Transit Coalition and the ACPD (as HSR staff noted) created the pressure and conditions to increase the Fare Assist Discount from 30% to 50% (back to the discount level of the previous paid pass program) effective 1 January 2026. 1/2 165

Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 24/11/2025While this Bill has passed, we cannot stop the pressure and organizing we can built now. We will defend our communities and fight back. 011
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 24/11/2025Ontario has rammed this bill through the Legislature that: - cause tenants in arrears to have to pay up to 50% before being able to raise other issues at the LTB. - undermine various green standards and transit. - open the door to privatization of water". 101
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 24/11/2025Ontario has rammed this bill through the Legislature that: - massively increases the balance of power in tenant law towards landlords. - will lower notice for tenants and speed up the LTB—for landlords. 116
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 21/11/2025And if we fail to build accessible housing now? “History offers a warning... We need homes that are permanently affordable and that meet people's needs now, and for generations to come.” Link in bio or www.chrc-ccdp.gc.ca/... 011
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 21/11/2025As they say here, we have the tools we need to make housing accessible and affordable—but we need the Building Code to catch up fast and for Build Canada Homes to ensure that funds for affordable housing are held to the highest standard of accessible housing construction. 111
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 21/11/2025Their calls here are the same calls all members of the Accessible Housing Network and our many allies have been making for years—that affordability and accessibility are not a tradeoff or opposed, but instead two goals all disabled people on these territories need and demand 111
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 21/11/2025For National Housing Day, we are very pleased to see this critical call to action from Marie-Josée Houle, Federal Housing Advocate and Christopher T. Sutton, Accessibility Commissioner. 131

Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 19/11/2025Across the Metroland papers today, Brad writes about the silent crisis in housing: accessibility for disabled renters. And, friends, Bill 60's speeding up of evictions and limits on those owing arrears will only make things worse. Link in bio or tr.ee/b-M2MEhM8O 063
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 19/11/2025We can't forget this Bill, even though it is law now, nor those legislators who voted it into law. We didn't carry the day today, but we can't stop keeping the pressure up to build a better Ontario for every single disabled and non-disabled Ontarian. 010
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 19/11/2025The Bill: - forces Universities/Colleges to follow ideologically-driven regulations on applications. - forces regulations on Universities/Colleges that will undermine student and campus organizing/fees. - does little meaningful to amend the Provincial Child Apprehension System. 110
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 19/11/2025BILL 33 HAS PASSED. It will: - ⏫ Ministerial power over school boards, allowing for a Minister to override local democracy and decision-making. - ⏫ Ministerial power to force schools and school boards to abide by political directives, like forcing police back into schools. 143
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 18/11/2025We know that the Ontario Government is prepared to attack the safety of countless communities: Bill 33—which will resume a push for police in schools, undermines school boards. As well, it will attack college and university organizing funding. 001
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 18/11/2025Racialized, queer and trans, and disabled Ontarians are bracing as Ontario begins passing: Bill 60—which will blow up tenant protections, lower notice for tenants, and speed up the LTB—for landlords. And undermine green standards and transit. 100
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 18/11/2025This week is another tough one as the Ontario Government wages war on the working class as the government moves to pass: Bill 25—which will give the MCCSS Minister the power to make political directives for social service agencies. 124
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 15/11/20251 year ago we came together to discuss how current bus fares for disabled people in Hamilton affect us and it’s time to do it again!

Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 12/11/2025The Residential Tenancies Act was built to have a tenant protection focus + this is acknowledged by the Courts in many decisions including by the Court of Appeal in White v. Upper Thames. Want to know more about what Bill 60 does legally? ACTO has got you: www.acto.ca/actos-to... 120
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 12/11/2025Changes coming in Bill 60 actively changes the balance of power at the Landlord and Tenant Board—unleashing the Dark Side: faster evictions, less access to justice, and more power to landlords. Read our letter: tinyurl.com/StopBill60 130
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 12/11/2025How much worse will housing accessibility, accomodations, and security for disabled tenants be when landlords are further advantaged with faster eviction mechanisms and more opportunity for retaliation against us? 042
Disability Justice Network of Ontario @djno.ca · 12/11/2025So, we've joined voices from around the Province to ask cities like Toronto and Hamilton to take up the battle for tenant rights, security, and dignity too. Read our letter to Mayors Chow and Horwath: tinyurl.com/Bill60DJ... 110
