The Liberals are maintaining status quo on legislated poverty for the disabled saying “we can’t fund everything”. The NDP gives lip service. Only the Greens make sense. Since there is no good option otherwise and since my vote will only enable further government delays or conservative cut offs to the mentally ill, I am voting for the Greens next election. They’re the only party that makes sense.

Why? The Liberals are bringing in other legislations within record speed when it comes to foreign and domestic policies but won’t fund the CDB because, as the governing party, perhaps because they’re too lazy or confused to get it right. They are dangling a carrot to vote for them next election I might get out of poverty, or so it seems. And I will bet you that those of us who have serious and chronic mental illness like paranoid schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, bipolar, etc., may as well expect next to nothing. Why? Because they would rather kill us through MAiD than be seen to support those who don’t have, as one poster on Twitter X says, “have a real disability.”

The Conservatives with Polievre speaking in parliament said that “the mentally ill don’t need our help”. Polievre plans to cut off all pensions including disability pensions and the OAS. Then he sounds so high-minded when he announces the need to give hope to the mentally ill by keeping them alive, not sacrificed to MAiD. On the other hand, he’s also not thinking of social programs because he’s too focused on the economic recovery of our great nation. What does he really mean? He means that he offers the mentally ill no pension but offers vague hints at giving them a better life without any outline of a definitive plan—but, hey, he’s at least legislating that the mentally ill cannot die even as we would live under a cruel Conservative government that deprives us of getting at least to the poverty line. I mean really, can he himself live or does he want his kids to grow up living on $17,000 a year? Without the alternative of an exit plan?

Even legislating a back-to-work policy doesn’t mean anything. Upon hiring the paranoid schizophrenic, there’s nobody to enforce the rules against subtle office politics that often come with the job or the discrimination and attitudes that shows up passive aggressively leading to further paranoia and even psychosis with the eventual termination of employment. And as bosses wash their hands clean, they say the that such mentally ill individuals simply weren’t the most well-suited for the job.

It seems to me that Polievre is trying to get our votes in any way possible and when in power not to mention the matter again. Silence is the best policy to eradicating undesirable issues

The NDP won’t even mention the topic of the disabled and the CDB. Certainly, they would be too happy to show compassion after a win by fast-tracking MAiD.

Only the Greens make common sense. Put it this way, our voting in any other party is death to our survival in an already hostile society. Instead of voter apathy or spoiling your ballot, vote for the party that doesn’t filibuster and instead takes ownership of what they say and hopefully what they’ll do. We’re dead in the water as it stands, anyway.

Thank you, MP Mike Morrice and the Greens, for your compassion and for your fight for our needs. 💜 🙏 🇨🇦
