I have an adult son with an intellectual disability. He recieves(d) services throgh the province. Access to a social worker, disability programs, a support worker. Several months ago someone in disability servces closed his file and ended his access to services. The story from their end is he called and did this himself. He's intellectually incapable of this task (hence the disability and high need for support) To say trying to get his services reinstated has been frustrating would be an understatement. Today I lost my shit. The rudeness and utter incompetence from a supervisor tasked with overseeing these vulnerable adult files blew my mind I have a university degree and am director at a tech company and I can't budge these people to re-instate his services without going through a re-application process, re-assesment and lengthy wait What is it like for persons with learning challenges and no advocate? How many times are services just abrubptly ended and no one checks to see what happened to that vulnerable adult? No one from disability supports has checked on my son or questioned this apparent decision of his to "end his services". They just cut him off, closed his file and make him fight to regain access. Its appalling

RT @ShantelSherwood: Now he is still raising a really amazing young man with less supports in the future and more stress when his body cann…

Albertans need to show their indignation or disgust with the AISH/ADAP policy by coming out in force to a province wide day of protest.

Setting aside the fact that we got one built (Conservatives have built zero) it’s a bit weird that the energy minister hasn’t read our energy policy. Here’s a link to make it easier: albertandp.ca/news/building-…

Hold on @ABDanielleSmith You've been championing this project, talking about special status, and insisting the demand is there. Now there's no proponent? That sounds less like Ottawa-created uncertainty and more like the market sending a message to you. #ucp #ableg #abpoli

THERE ARE 78,999 DISABLED ALBERTAN'S WHO ARE MISSING ONE Of OUR COMMUNITY, DUE TO GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION, CRUELTY AND GOVERNMENTAL MALFEASANCE THROUGH LEGISLATION. UNTIL WE START LOOKING AFTER THE MOST VULNERABLE, LET'S QUIT CROWING HOW HUMANELY WE KILL PEOPLE. #IAgreewithMaidTrack1

Hey @jkenney, I know you don't give a shit, but why can't you mention Bruce Johnson and this entire poorly thought out transition to an incomplete ADAP program? You think it's a good thing to put the most vulnerable under unnecessarily uncertainty and torment?

Hmmm… Can’t afford to pay for teacher aids and the extra resources the teachers wanted to help our kids - take away teacher rights and force ‘em back. Can’t afford to pay waiting room docs so ABs don’t die… But got money to bribe w Dani-bucks? Sounds really well planned…

Alberta’s AISH-to-ADAP Transition: “Assured” Income No More? A new government document reveals major changes coming for people with developmental disabilities — including the end of automatic AISH for PDD clients, incorrect transition letters sent out, and mandatory employment programs that could put benefits at risk. We break it down clearly: this isn’t about opportunity — it’s adding stress, bureaucracy, and coercion to some of our most vulnerable citizens. Read the full article official document here: open.substack.com/pub/taking… If you or someone you know is affected, share this widely. Our disabled community deserves better than political experiments.

bradenmanns.substack.com/p/d… This is an excellent summary on how and why our system lacks meaningful accountability... well worth the read Sadly, ALL changes the current govt is making on HC is making everything LESS connected and less accountable There is ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY NOW.

This seems harsh… but at its heart it is an excellent question… The UCP govt has “refocused” the system to such an unfocused blurry state that there currently is ZERO Accountability in our HC system. And the Premier thinks she’s only running an out pt surgical delivery system

*NEW* AHS Update V037 (Of 2026!) - ICU - Not updated since March 24th- It’s been 1,335 Days since Danielle Smith said, “HEALTHCARE FIXED IN 90 DAYS!!” Royal Alex OSC Still closed, Public Health Inspectors to resign or move to GOA Tomorrow & more! /1

And hateful, and inhumane…

“He was 57. Depression. Anxiety. Diabetes. Glaucoma. Neuropathy. Chronic pain. For years, illness made steady work impossible. Smaller cheques, harder job-seeking demands — pushed him to the breaking point.” .. "This primal dread is almost universal in the AISH community." 💔😭

Every time I bring up a Universal Basic Income, people lose their minds and say, "I don't want my taxes paying for it." Here's my question: How much are your taxes already paying for poverty? How much are we spending on homelessness, emergency rooms, shelters, policing, courts, jails, child welfare, lost productivity, and food insecurity? Poverty isn't free. In fact, poverty costs society a fortune. The real debate shouldn't be whether we can afford to reduce poverty, it should be whether we can afford not to!

So is Dani and the Dirty UCP going to take my $4.20 increase of my Canada Disability Benefit? Seriously, 420....LMAO #DisabledAlbertanSufferer
