Before 1990's "disability was mostly positioned as a
category of social welfare and medicine. This changed with the emergence of two specific forces: the disability rights movement and the rise of neoliberalism as a policy orthodoxy." https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/158138331.pdf
"The timing of the disability right’s movement call for the ‘right to work’ emerges in concert with workfare."

One of the many reasons we've moved to disability justice and away from disability rights. You can ID who is why by how they discuss work.
"The hegemony of neoliberalism has redefined ideas of citizenship, social inclusion and social mobility."

A different paper by different author actually argues convincingly imo that neoliberalism eliminates the concept of 'the people.' Which is quite relevant to #BillC7
Emotions are not things that belong to an individual as a separate object, but are in fact, framed w moral meanings &sentiments that operate discursively at the macro scale to create nascent forms of social control that can become embodied as everyday practices of self-governance
This is EXTREMELY relevant to #BillC7

" The affect effects thus frames disabled people’s intra-corporeal engagement, effectively reaffirming social processes of oppression as forms of internalized self governance." https://twitter.com/mssinenomine/status/1360295431696048129?s=20
"Emotions for disabled people, are therefore, a key area of social life where they are required to manage other people’s emotions, whilst simultaneously managing their own emotions all for the benefit of others." #BillC7
"Of all of the emotions, it is shame that dominates the everyday experience of disability."
#BillC7 ignores all this. This is what we mean by the lived experience of disability. If the bill had been put through a disability lens this is the kind of thing that would be considered.
"For disabled people, these acts of shaming, through either public discursive depictions of disabled ppl through political or media discourse and representations coupled with the daily acts of staring they encounter in a multiplicity of spaces and places are a form of
violence"
"Shame is the emotion that ‘makes you want to disappear, to hide away and to cover yourself"

#BillC7
Keep disabled people in their place and then offer them death as the only escape and call it 'choice' and 'freedom.'

This is the context for #BillC7
