troubleOne day, I'm going to write a post about Canada that does not make a snide comment about the government going to court to demand the right to keep their websites inaccessible to screen readers.
Some day.
Today is not that day.
Latest:
(One of my goals is to really make people aware of how many resources are just not available to people if they can't bloody well get on a government website. The other one is to keep that fact really clear in people's mind: The government is going to court and spending your tax payer dollars to discriminate against PWD.)
(Honestly, I don't think the government in question actually matters: The websites have been inaccessible for a very long time, pre-dating our current minority government. I don't think this is a party-related issue so much as a "What, blind people? on the internet? how stupid is that?" issue.)

You can find the contact information for your Member of Parliament here, but be aware that, like all Government of Canada websites, this one may not be accessible to screen readers.
