I'll have a hard time pushing a wheel chair around there methinks.
... people had an odd habit of letting doors slam in our faces, and running in front of us to cut us off and get to the door first. Even at the Hospital.
Nope. We were there to see a Dr for our daughter. We decided to walk to the Mall, and part of a sidewalk was cobblestone. I was bumping her over that and we came to a spot where the subway came up. There was a metal railing around the hole, and only room for one person to get through on the building side, as it went right to the curb on the other side. People wouldn't let us through, they just kept coming. Finally, I got pissed because it was Winter and cold, and just pushed her in there and made the person coming the other way back up and get out of our way.Roy, were you racing other people in their wheelchairs again?
Or is it that maybe your nurse needs to work on her offensive game?
I hope that's not offensive.
Believe me, it's nothing
Finally, I got pissed because it was Winter and cold, and just pushed her in there and made the person coming the other way back up and get out of our way.
I did stand there quite a while making eye contact with people, yet they just kept walking through there. I guess I was disappointed as I expected Canadians to be as considerate or more so, than Americans. They apparently have no form of the American Disabilities Act, as I found out. No ramps for wheelchairs anywhere, not even at the hospital. It was designed well enough, with no stairs anywhere, but the streets were for walking people only.
Is this political or are we saying the Canadians have nothing for person's with disabilities ?
I found one document, and it just says that they can't be discriminated against in hiring. Perhaps, I am not using the correct words, who knows
Yep. All I saw was Toronto, and they are not set up for wheelchairs at all. I am not going to dismiss all of Canada, but is it possible that guy was going down the road because there were no ramps to get back up to the sidewalk, or are you just messin' with me?Roy
I know in Montreal they have many areas that are wheelchair accessible including wildfire sites. I even recall during a snow storm a motorized wheelchair was going down the main road since it was plowed. When it comes to equal rights Canada is way ahead of the US.
