    I like the Canadian people analogy - very useful.


    I also think it is important that the filmakers have questioned why organisations require a business case to employ more disabled people - they do not write a business case to emply Canadians...

    I used the clip in a workshop yesterday for prospective students. They had the idea that we should label ourselves as Canadian rather than disabled...I quite like the idea

    As a Canadian disabled person.... I'm confused. Does this mean I'd be 2 x Canadian? Canadian^2? ;)

    In academia, I think that is called double jeopardy...
