So that my 20+ years of lived experiences can help someone avoid the ill gotten ill-conceived assumptions of.. well anything at this point.

I'm here, ask away

There are no stupid questions.
Only stupid people.

Alberta takes U-turn on changes to disability benefits, citing public feedback www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

Holy crap, the #UCP can actually hear the public?

The 88% couples rule for AISH and ADAP is gone. Alberta repealed it on October 1, 2026.

The order says the government must pay back the difference. There is still no date for when 💚 #AISH #ADAP

How broken does a system have to be that a family has to share the hardest parts of their life on camera to prove their son is "disabled enough" for AISH?

In case you missed it… here's the Global News story.
Please share so more people see Ben's story. 💚

Kristi and Ben, I am so sorry. Ben is fully dependent and was still deemed employable under ADAP. The way this government decides who is "employable" is irresponsible and undignified.

Thank you for joining @marierenaud.bsky.social to share your story. 💚

#AISH #ADAP

Marie Renaud, in a blue blazer, stands at a podium with a sign that reads Alberta's New Democrat Caucus, listening as a woman in a red sweater speaks. An Alberta flag is behind them. A post from the Alberta NDP is laid over the photo. It says: The UCP and Danielle Smith have failed Albertans with disabilities. It shouldn't take public pressure and media attention for someone to get approved for AISH. How many other Albertans who are fully dependent on caregivers are being told they should be able to work? It's time for the UCP to cancel the ADAP transition and strengthen AISH. Albertans with disabilities deserve dignity, security and a government that supports them.

Page 1 of an Alberta NDP news release dated Sep 29, 2026. Headline: UCP's ADAP transition leaves Albertans with disabilities being told to just get a job. Text: The UCP government's transition from AISH to ADAP leaves Albertans with disabilities without the support they need. Families are being told that loved ones with severe disabilities, who are clearly unable to work, are considered employable and should just get a job. Marie Renaud, Alberta NDP Shadow Minister for Community and Social Services, spoke today alongside Kristi Hall-Busque and her son Ben Hall-Busque. "Ben is fully dependent, uses a wheelchair, and requires overnight nursing care. We were told directly that he was considered employable, and I still can't wrap my head around that," said Kristi Hall-Busque. "The obstacles we've faced over the last few months have been dangerous, cruel, and completely unnecessary."

Page 2 of the Alberta NDP news release. Text: As always, after significant public pressure and media attention, Ben's family was informed this morning that the decision had been reversed and that Ben had been approved for AISH following a review. While the family welcomed the decision, they said it does not erase the months of uncertainty and barriers they faced navigating the process. "The UCP promised Albertans with disabilities they wouldn't lose support under this transition," said Marie Renaud, Alberta NDP Shadow Minister for Community and Social Services. "Yet we're hearing story after story from Albertans with disabilities who have lost benefits or spent months living with uncertainty while trying to navigate a broken system." "Ben's approval today doesn't change the fact that a young man with disabilities was initially deemed employable. Families should not have to request reviews, fight government decisions, or go public to access the support they are entitled to. The UCP's ADAP transition has created unnecessary hardship for vulnerable Albertans and left too many people behind."

Page 3 of the Alberta NDP news release. Text: "It's time for the government to admit it's failures. Scrap ADAP and strengthen AISH." The Alberta NDP continues to call on the government to reverse the transition to ADAP and restore a strengthened AISH program that provides Albertans with disabilities with the support they need.

Ben denied AISH because they claim he is employable.

What's up @youralberta.bsky.social @alberta.ca @cbcnews.ca @cbcnews.bsky.social So, trying not to eat, y'know, can't afford almost any since you guys just "forgot" to pay most of my benefits. But child rapists get 3 meals a day and a bed to sleep in. Guess the disabled arent as worthy of help? #aish

@msthpetra.bsky.social Sep 13, 2026, 1:35 PM

One is too many!
The government of #AB needs to immediately pause the implementation of #AISH and consult with people with disabilities on any program changes!

Wonder if the #Alberta gov has any job openings, since they expect us to work even tho a condition of Aish is “must be permanently unable to work”. #Aish #Adap #Disability #Corruption
