It`s time to wake up and speak up if you have any idea to help to remediate to this situation.
Waking up is not easy, and so is only having 9 metros out of 68 in Montreal that are accessible if you are living with a disability.
We all know how the map for the general public looks like. It has a total of 68 metros, on the other hand, if you are living with a handicap, you only have access to 9 of them.
Please share with me if you know anybody who is burdened by this situation and get in touch with me.
Since we are an aging society and as the years go by, we will be grateful to have a transport system ready to accommodate us all. We live in a society which is unable to appreciate the difference of all its members and this need to change because when we forget one soul, we neglect our own self.
Some great minds are confined to stay home not because of a handicap instead because of our confined collective intellect which is unable to grasp that the contribution of all its members is continually grander when we get it that the sum of the whole is greater than its parts. Each time someone is ignored or put aside, it cost us all, read the article in this link
and realize the price we end up paying when individuals are forgotten by society.
Exclusion is a form of violence and deep down inside we all know that it is better to seek for peace. In the long run we can all find the win/win for each of us. In addition, it is better for our health and our conscience.
