Hi Lantana!
I hope your husband and you enjoyed your trip to Canada! I wonder if you both ever went to Newfoundland and Labrador. Just curious!
Speaking of the Canadian Disability Act, The proposed law was in place in spring of 1997 until the dissolution of Parliament for national election of 1997 made it nullified. It has not been brought up again ever since.
Actually, we have the Charter of Rights to protect our rights to have access to interpreting and essential services and better accessibility. The problem is so many people, especially Deaf, have no idea how helpful the Charter of Rights are to them because they lack their understanding and knowledge of this very important act.
Now we have a new provincial Liberal government in Ontario and I hope the ODA will be passed during their term.
KingCobra! HISSS!!!
