Nobody’s ‘finishing the fight against Covid’ by maintaining vaccine apartheid.
How about YOU do your fucking part and waive patent protections?
You could also:
Distribute RATs and N95s directly to all Canadians – for FREE.
Re-deploy a new UNIVERSAL CERB/CRB.
The year may be coming to an end - but, with Omicron spreading quickly around the world, it’s clear that this pandemic isn’t. But we can finish the fight against COVID-19 if we keep working together. So do your part: get vaccinated, and get your booster when it’s your turn.

Despite years of advocacy from the disability community to fast-track the Canada Disability Benefit, this government still hasn't committed to funding it.

is eugenics if you’re living in legislated destitution (40% below the poverty line).
When you have a bunch of people who know they won’t survive on the streets precisely because of their disabilities and you don’t pay these people enough to have housing or to eat, are the deaths they pursue because it’s perceived as the less painful option really a choice?
