Here's a very thorough recounting of the terrible injustices going on right now for people with developmental disabilities in B.C. It's from a B.C. blogger who attended a big meeting in Vancouver on Monday over the $22 million in cuts to group homes and services going on right now. Share this information far and wide, and jump on one of the action items at the end of the blog entry. This is wrong!

There's bad, and there's worse.

Indiana's budget crunch has become so severe that some state workers have suggested leaving severely disabled people at homeless shelters if they can't be cared for at home, parents and advocates said. - Ken Kusmer, AP

"$22 million in cuts to group homes and services going on right now."

But apparently we had $20 million laying around in petty cash to pay for the Basi/Virk abomination.
These people (and I use the word "people" loosely) make me so angry. I have never been one to hold onto hatred, but I can honestly say I hate Campbell with every cell in my body. If I were to ever run into him on the street, I would not be responsible for my actions.
