We need real solutions—direct funding, co-operative housing by and for disabled people, and a full Coroner's Super-Inquest into the violence and death present in all these systems. And we need it now.
5/5

Moving our communities from the hospital ward to carceral long-term care facilities or so-called ‘supportive’ housing is just replicating the same old models. We refuse to sit by and allow the actual needs and long-time demands of our communities to be set aside.
4/5

On the other hand, the recommendations fail to address wider systems failure and the similarities between the hospital and large congregate so-called supportive facilities. We know that this call to action will simply become re-institutionalization with a different face.
3/5

On one hand, we are glad that the stories of our community are brought to the fore and some of the recommendations move things forward.
2/5

While this Bill has passed, we cannot stop the pressure and organizing we can built now. We will defend our communities and fight back.

Ontario has rammed this bill through the Legislature that:
- cause tenants in arrears to have to pay up to 50% before being able to raise other issues at the LTB.
- undermine various green standards and transit.
- open the door to privatization of water".

And if we fail to build accessible housing now? “History offers a warning... We need homes that are permanently affordable and that meet people's needs now, and for generations to come.”

As they say here, we have the tools we need to make housing accessible and affordable—but we need the Building Code to catch up fast and for Build Canada Homes to ensure that funds for affordable housing are held to the highest standard of accessible housing construction.

Their calls here are the same calls all members of the Accessible Housing Network and our many allies have been making for years—that affordability and accessibility are not a tradeoff or opposed, but instead two goals all disabled people on these territories need and demand

We can't forget this Bill, even though it is law now, nor those legislators who voted it into law.
We didn't carry the day today, but we can't stop keeping the pressure up to build a better Ontario for every single disabled and non-disabled Ontarian.

The Bill:
- forces Universities/Colleges to follow ideologically-driven regulations on applications.
- forces regulations on Universities/Colleges that will undermine student and campus organizing/fees.
- does little meaningful to amend the Provincial Child Apprehension System.

We know that the Ontario Government is prepared to attack the safety of countless communities:
Bill 33—which will resume a push for police in schools, undermines school boards. As well, it will attack college and university organizing funding.

Racialized, queer and trans, and disabled Ontarians are bracing as Ontario begins passing:
Bill 60—which will blow up tenant protections, lower notice for tenants, and speed up the LTB—for landlords. And undermine green standards and transit.
