The results speak for themselves. Low voter turnout, I'm hearing that CBC stated something along the lines of less than 1 M voters bothered to show up. There was a boisterous and loud Twitter campaign to try and get parties to move the needle on disability progress, but it didn't move. Heck, it barely budged. Despite MAiD getting media attention! What's that you say? It's medically assisted suicide. There are people on disability pensions in Ontario who have it so bad, they'd rather die than continue living.
Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I surprised? No. Voter apathy, pandemic weary, whatever number of excuses you like. My spirits have been crushed. Because at the provincial level, nobody cares about persons with disabilities (PWD).
UPDATE: There may be a light at the end of the tunnel, however I am skeptical as to the time frame & how quickly it can be implemented. Carla Qualtrough, the current Employment Minister, has announced the Liberals re-tabled the previously suspended Parliament's C-35 (after a motion from the NDP politely reminding them of their election promise). You can read the CBC write-up here.
