Dear Ms. Redford:
Let’s have coffee this week. We have a lot to talk
about, you know. People with disabilities have yelled, and screamed and slammed
many doors last week in frustration hearing the Alberta government is making
changes to home care. We are scared. We are nervous. And we are wondering why
this is happening to us when we weren’t even consulted.
But we are willing to put that behind us. We want
to talk about the future and we want to ensure the best future for ourselves
and our families … just like every other Albertan. We want to work with the
government, have open discussion and tell you, face to face, why there isn’t
any need to change it. We want to show you how we can, in fact, save the
government money with non-profit groups.
We are not alone in our view. We began an on-linepetition Saturday, and as of 1 p.m. Monday, we had 375 people sign it. And it’s
growing.
All we want to do is talk, and share ideas. Please
consider this. And, given the home care cuts, suggesting the government doesn’t
have much money, how about this: we’ll even buy coffee.
Concerned persons with disabilities.
