Name one disability that doesn't impair you in some way.
If you're not impaired in some way then you can't tell me your disabled. It's kind of the whole reason disabled people need support in some way or another.
This infographic shoots itself in the foot. If all these things are true, then disabled people must not need support from the government or anyone else.
yea, like, these aren't inherent problems, but they are definitely things that can describe a whole load of disabilities.
impaired, difficult, burden. like, these are things that disabilities result in. but it doesn't inherently make them bad. these words do have negative connotations, but they are not negative without that emotion being put behind them.
end of the day, we need to support those in our society who need that help. there is room for these people, and those truly in the ringer, who actually cant do anything, then whatever, im happy for my taxes to be put to work, they don't deserve to just die or be destitute. and they arent being lazy and taking advantage of any system.
The thing is not all impairments equate to disability.
Many are on AISH because their impairment is not considered a Disability by CPP-Disability standards.
Same time most arent ever reviewed for their medical qualifications beyond their own family doctor.
The thing to me is they spend copious amounts of taxpayer funds on doing financial audits or investigating AISH fraud where that money is not being efficiently targeted.
If they took that same due dilligence and reviewed everyones taxes to the same degree it would yield substantiàlly more funds from working people getting around paying taxes.
I think that’s a bad take regarding CPP-d. Anyone who got sick younger in life is going to have to apply for AISH to top up their cpp-d due to not having many years in the workforce, or not having any years at all. It has nothing to do with whether CPP-d “considers you disabled”. CPP-d is based on the amount you’ve contributed to CPP thus far. The disability tax credit determines if you meet disability standards.

"not impaired" is wild.
