Over 3 million Canadians being left out in the cold

 

When it comes to lending assistance to other countries in crisis, Canada should be given an A plus but when it comes to recognizing, legitimizing, and protecting the rights of over 3 million Canadians, Canada should only be given an F minus for its efforts. 

 

There are over 3 million print disabled - blind, partially sighted, and deaf/blind Canadians who have great difficulty accessing government websites, requesting information, and completing online forms and job applications.  They have to wait for months on end if they request information to be sent to them in Braille, large print, and on CD.  They have very limited access to vital information such as:  Health, CPP, old age security, social welfare benefits, programs on funding and financial assistance, and safety and public security.  The government has failed to honour its obligations under the Canadian Charter of Rights despite having all of the expertise and resources at their disposal.

 

It is time for us to demand what is rightfully ours!  Our right to information.
Please support us in our efforts!
On September 21 to 23, Donna Jodhan who is the second vice president of the Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians will be attending Federal Court along with her team of lawyers and accessibility experts as part of a charter challenge to force the Canadian government to honour their obligations under the Canadian Charter of Rights.
Time: 9:30 am
Location:  180 Queen Street West, Toronto.
If you are unable to attend court on any of these three days then you can lend your voice by writing to the Honourable Rob Nicholson who is the minister of Justice and Attorney General.
His email is nichor@parl.gc.ca.
Tell him that you are demanding that his government take immediate steps to recognize, legitimize, and protect the rights of the over 3 million Canadians who are print disabled - blind, partially sighted, and deaf/blind.
