About this episode
The episode features Mike Morrice discussing disability issues and the Canada Disability Benefit.
To start 2026 the Triple Vision team speaks with Mike Morrice, the disability and Inclusion critic for the Green Party of Canada. Mike was the Member of Parliament for Kitchener Centre between 2021 and 2025 when he pushed hard on behalf of Canadians with disabilities to ensure the Canada Disability Benefit would become a reality. In this month’s podcast he talks with us, a day before the federal budget dropped last November, about how disappointed he was with the eventual benefit, as well as the Liberal Government’s track record on disability, climate change, and commitment to alleviating poverty in Canada. “The fact is that it’s expensive to leave people in poverty. The health care costs, any number of different societal costs, are significantly higher wen society, or a country, chooses to leave people in poverty. That’s what’s being done, disproportionately, when it comes to the disability community. I think it’s an embarrassment that, in a country as wealthy as ours, that we are not doing better by the disability community, and economically. It disadvantages us as a country.”
