Why wouldn’t everyone get behind a national disability insurance model of support when it’s good for the individual with a disability, their family, the economy, protects human rights and freedoms, and has Canada meet its obligations under the the UN CRPD. It’s a no-brainer.

My heart aches for disabled people that have been kept in legislative poverty many (740,000) of whom could and would work if proper support is provided. The type of support a national disability insurance plan would provide. Let’s do something about it. . everycanadiancounts.com.

Labour Day, with a twist. Today we honour people with disabilities who labour 24/7, 365 days a year against the systems and people that keep them isolated, poor and discriminated against. That can be fixed with a National Disability Insurance Plan. #NDIP everycanadiancounts.com

It’s the pooling of funds that would make a National Disability Insurance Plan work. That’s how “insurance” works. So if you’re born with a disability, or acquire one later in life, you receive the funds to pay for that disability. By entitlement, non means tested and portable across the country.

73% of #OntEd teachers are planning to leave the profession. Only 34% of these are due to retirement. 59% of teachers leaving say it’s due to the impacts of teaching on their mental health or feeling unsafe at school. Full OCT report: click.oct.ca/ext/click/go...

Abuse. Disabled people/PWD are in an abusive relationship with the provinces, and they can’t afford to leave. They depend on the suppressor for the few scraps they do receive. There is a way out of this abusive relationship.

6/The disability is not your fault, then why should you, or your family bear the cost of that disability? That should be a societal cost. There is simply no good reason not to bring in a National Disability Insurance Program. Demand it from elected officials. Simply put ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!

5/No longer would a family member be forced to quit their career to become part of the welfare state and lose their pensions. An NDIP would be an economic driver in employment, innovation, export, increased tax base. It would level the field between urban, rural, hard to reach and Indigenous nations

Every Canadian Counts 🇨🇦 @everycdncounts.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
4/What about cost? It’s a non issue when you take into account the savings in systemic costs in healthcare, emergency care, policing, incarceration, mental illness, homelessness, drug abuse - all as a direct result of not providing needed support. Not to mention the cost to humanity.
100
Every Canadian Counts 🇨🇦 @everycdncounts.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
3/Disability support must include ALL costs as a result of that disability from birth to end of life. This would include home and vehicle modifications, equipment, technology, mental health support, supported housing, skills training, therapies, transportation, special food, medication, etc, etc.

Every Canadian Counts 🇨🇦 @everycdncounts.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
2/It’s also very ableist to assume people with disability/disabled people can’t manage their own affairs in finding their own caregiver, which may very well not be a family member. The first assumption should always be that they can.

Every Canadian Counts 🇨🇦 @everycdncounts.bsky.social · 23/02/2026
Thread 1/Paid Caregiving is an absolute must as one of the primary pillars of a National Disability Insurance Program (NDIP), but paid caregiving is far from the only cost.

A National Disability Insurance Program #NDIP would support families that have a child born with a lifelong disability from birth to end of life. The child wouldn’t “age out” of services. All costs associated with a disability would be included (entitlement based), non-means tested and portable.

So not only does a national disability insurance program bring equity to disabled people and their families, it brings Canada into the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability compliance, AND it makes tremendous economic sense.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition where the nervous system stays stuck in “high alert.” The brain misreads normal signals as pain, fatigue, and brain fog. It’s real. It’s constant. And it’s exhausting. #Fibromyalgia #ChronicPain #InvisibleIllness #DisabilityAwareness #Spoonie

People would be more productive, there would be more employment, more innovation and create a larger tax base. It would allow that parent that quit their job to go back to their career and have a pension upon retirement. So let’s all get on the same page, get organized and make this happen. See

It would be nation building with positive economic returns by way of less emergency care, healthcare, policing, incarceration, mental illness, food insecurity, drug abuse and homelessness. An #NDIP would bring equity between urban, rural, hard to reach and Indigenous nations.
