I feel absolutely helpless with the disabled albertans are being treated. I feel like theres jack shit I can do and myself with many on the verge of suicide. Cornered into income support with no help at all.

I have no spoons, zero capacity but I had just enough to write an email to my MLA. If your MLA is specifically NDP then please.. just reach out to them.. your email/protest and voice holds weight... your MLA can use your voice as proof that we do not want this, and help push for reform. Indepndant voices are NOT redundant. Please. Idk what else to do.

I sent this directly to Janis Irwin, my MLA. Ive included a couple others. I fucking hate politics I hate this, I dont know very much, but im doing whatever I can in my power.

RE: CONSTITUENT OUTRAGE: Demand Action on ADAP Cuts and the $100M Referendum

Dear MLA Irwin,

I am writing to you as your constituent in the T5B 4C1 area. I am absolutely disgusted and profoundly dissatisfied with the current provincial priorities, and I am demanding that you take this fury directly to the floor of the Legislature.

It is completely unacceptable that the UCP cabinet is spending up to $100 million on a political referendum while simultaneously stripping vital financial support from disabled Albertans.

The transition from AISH to the Alberta Disability Assistance Program (ADAP) is an act of systemic cruelty. Cutting base benefits by $200 a month for people already living below the poverty line is forcing vulnerable citizens into absolute despair. Community advocates have already linked five tragic deaths by suicide directly to the financial panic and impossible work compliance rules caused by this policy.

The government trying to frame this as an independent mental health issue or a fiscal adjustment is a complete insult. This is a structural crisis manufactured entirely by UCP policies. Offering an employment program or a crisis helpline does not pay rent or buy medication.

It is sickening to watch millions of taxpayer dollars poured into political theater while disabled people are literally dying because of budget cuts. The UCP is treating human beings like line items on a spreadsheet to be reduced or eliminated.

As my representative, I want you to demand the following actions from the Premier and the Minister:

1. Halt the transition to ADAP entirely and permanently.

2. Restore full, unconditional AISH funding to every individual forced onto this track.

3. Defund the referendum and redirect those resources directly back into provincial social safety nets.

I am carbon-copying the Premier and the Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services on this email so they see exactly what their policies are doing to people in our community. I expect you to use your platform to voice this outrage and hold them accountable for these catastrophic policy decisions.

Sincerely,

(My legal name) - an outraged citizen
