I discovered the impact of Social Inclusion by chance when I was new in Canada, and it completely changed our lives. The impact of Social Inclusion is profound. Let's spread this message and make it a daily practice for all. Together, we can create a more inclusive world.

Feeling energized from the @envirodefence Transit for Tomorrow Summit in Ottawa this week. Now lets (properly) fund public transport!
Their new reports shows Canada can DOUBLE public transit ridership by 2035 & cut emissions by 65 million tonnes.

Disappointed, frustrated, and angry. My work trip was ruined due to the carelessness of the crew for at Logan airport. They carried my power wheelchair seat with one hand while juggling other suitcases, ultimately breaking it. Their attempt to save time cost me three days of obligations. It's not about being #disabled; it's about the impact of individual carelessness. @AirCanada was doing better, but one employee ruined the progress. #RightsOnFlights #disabilityawareness #airportexperience
