Keeping people with disabilities poor is a false economy!

I have been denied all employment program access because of my disability (hearing). BC Human Rights (reporting to the BC Attorney-General who acts on behalf of BC Ministries) declined to wait for the medical reports, and then dismissed my case because I had not provided.. documents.. As I am sure you are aware, all funding for Judicial Reviews - Human Rights legal aid has been cancelled by the BC government.

I am not on disibility by choice and the goverment continues to find new ways to make it more difficult (most recently points/airmiles programs with perscriptions). And with the new HST on food and things for kids its impossible.

And because I "present" well, psychologists and pyschiatrists are beyond my reach. What am I to do?

My diet consists of mainly oatmeal or whatever breakfast cereal is on sale - days without milk are often days without food. I live in a house without central heating, roof leaks, mold grows, toilet is broken and my landlord says I do not pay enough rent to justify fixing - she also knows I will have little chance finding affordable housing because I cannot afford it.

That care requires money, not all of us have genenous friends and families to help us in our daily struggles. Below poverty level income assistance to pay for help that does not work for free...doesn't make sense?

We will not sit idly and allow the World's Governments to threaten and abuse us. Simply because, we're the last probable hope that, worldwide Governments balance their economic books. They allowed bad banking decisions in the last decade, NOT US!

Disabled people were excluded from any boom in the 90's and 2000's! They should not be made to pay for Banking incompetences around the globe!
