Recent debates in the United States are raising concerns and sparking questions here in Canada. At a time like this, it is essential to ground our conversations in evidence and to affirm our shared values. Current scientific evidence does not support suggestions that taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy is linked to autism. Discussions about autism must be guided by respect, accuracy, and inclusion. Oversimplified claims about “causes” and the use of stigmatizing language are unacceptable and distract from the real priority—creating a Canada where autistic people are respected as full citizens and included fully in every aspect of society. We stand in solidarity with the autism community, their families and supporters. We join our partner, the Autism Alliance of Canada, and are in support of their recent statement. autismalliance.ca/autism-dis…

Affirming Evidence, Dignity, and Inclusion in Autism Discourse - Autism Alliance of Canada

Autism Alliance of Canada steadfastly believes that words, and facts, matter. That is why we champion conversations about autism that are rooted in high-quality evidence, reflect accuracy, and honor...

🤔Imaginez si plus de 8 millions de personnes en situation de handicap au Canada posaient à leur candidat local la question suivante : « Que ferez-vous pour améliorer la vie des personnes en situation de handicap?

Inclusion Canada a créé nos Priorités électorales 2025, « Ensemble plus forts ». 📢Nous appelons tous les candidats des partis politiques à lire nos priorités, à s'informer et à s'engager à améliorer la vie des personnes avec des handicaps intellectuels et de leurs familles. 📅D'ici le jour des élections, nous publierons des informations sur nos cinq principales priorités. 📄Notre document complet est accessible ici -> inclusioncanada.ca/wp-conten… 🇨🇦 Faisons du Canada un pays où tout le monde a sa place! #EnsemblePlusForts

Our fourth priority of 2025 is to invest in #InclusiveEmployment opportunities so that #pwd have the right to meaningful employment. We want to enhance opportunities for inclusive post-secondary education, transform sheltered workshops into employment-first models, and enhance investments into our @RWAworks initiative.

In 2025, we want to support children and youth with disabilities and strengthen families through an improved Child Disability Benefit and better inclusive #EarlyLearning & #Childcare. Families should have the support they need to help their children thrive and live a fully inclusive life in community. Yet, as we have seen across many provinces in 2024, this is not the case.

Our first priority of 2025 is to lift people with intellectual disabilities and their families out of poverty through the Canada Disability Benefit, automatic tax filing, the Disability Tax Credit, reassessing federal income supports, and the Registered Disability Savings Plan. The government is not doing enough to account for the additional cost of living with a #disability, and we want to change this. #DTC #RDSP Learn more here: bit.ly/3VQkNsv

🚨 The #CanadaDisabilityBenefit is at a critical crossroads. 🚨 With parliament paused & fed election looming, the #CDB is at risk. @JustinTrudeau must urgently #GuaranteeTheCDB. Join the campaign: bit.ly/42ajcBS @KamalKheraLib @DLeBlancNB @GinettePT @viraniarif
A group of people gathered in front of Parliament Hill, some are wheelchair users, one man holds a cane. Two people hold placards reading "Guarantee the CDB", and some people wear red t-shirts with maple leaves and the letters "CDB". The background is all in the colour red with a white maple leaf appearing alongside the right of the Peace Tower.
