For a sneak peek at today's discussion and what will be talked about in future episodes, the full Top-15 list is copied here:
1. Moral compass check: any claim that vulnerable & disabled are well taken care of is FALSE.2. Having a disability is hard.3. Disability is an added personal expense.4. A disabled life is worth living.5. Provincial PWD Shelter Allowance of $375 or $500 per month is discriminatory.6. Disability income support is an obligation, not charity.7.

Putting PWDs in unsafe or unhealthy situations is very bad also. 10. Persons with Disabilities have sex, get over it.11. Paper straws suck because they don't suck.12.
