Zachary Weeks is describing a 'Race to the Bottom' that should alarm every Albertan. When the government strikes down an Accessibility Act because they fear 'overreach' by people with lived experience, they are admitting they prefer a system that excludes by design.
The transition from AISH to ADAP—with its $200 clawbacks and the looming '2028 Cliff' of re-assessments—isn't an upgrade; it’s a budget-balancing act on the backs of our neighbors.
We need an Alberta Standard that moves beyond 'consultation' and into Technical Guarantees. We are proposing a shift to an Automated Right of Residency where your dignity isn't a 'subscription' you have to manually renew while living below the poverty line. No more re-applications. No more 'proving' your struggle. Just dignity by design.
