This is shameful #Alberta #DanielleSmith

The only province in the country — and the richest — to clawback the new federal disability benefit

The federal government should implement a penalty for this or withhold some transfer payments #cdnpoli #ABleg #disability

Yes, large projects create jobs, but they will not reach many Canadians with disabilities who are excluded from the labour market.

One important strategy to improve care aides’ mental health, is for governments to adopt and fund policies that support trauma-informed workplaces in LTC.

A trauma-informed workplace recognizes that trauma is pervasive and has a negative impact on individuals, be they older adults or staff.

As Ottawa considers its defence spending priorities, it must not overlook the health and well-being of its most important asset — the people who provide safety and security to Canada and those who support them, who will most certainly be impacted as they meet the new challenges they will face.
