		<description><![CDATA[Bureaucratic double speak tries to paper over neglect of disabled senior dead in her apartment for five months - "sad emotions". Berrigan's ignominious and tragic end - alone and dead in her apartment for five months - should be a wake up call that things are not OK.  Faye Martin director of seniors policy for the PEI government offered up lame excuses. According to Martin, it's logical that a person could be abandoned in a government seniors housing facility. <a href="http://njnnetwork.com/2011/03/pei-government-washes-hands-in-seniors-death/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Muki Baum is a man severely disabled by Cerebral Palsy who has raised $600,000 begging on the streets of Toronto outside posh stores like Holt Renfrew.  Donna Thompson, wife of Canada's High Commissioner to the UK, argues in The Four Walls of My Freedom that we are not valuing people like Muki Baum. <a href="http://njnnetwork.com/2011/01/man-with-disability-raises-600k-as-street-beggar/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

If Prime Minister Harper wanted to help Canadians with disabilities he could implement many of the well researched proposals to end poverty and provide disability supports. Complicated schemes like the RDSP that target the ultra rich are of little value. <a href="http://njnnetwork.com/2010/12/rdsp-fails-to-help-canadians-with-disabilities/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
