When the cost of survival outweighs the cost of death, something has gone deeply wrong. In this sobering and eye-opening episode, Mitch, living with cerebral palsy and chronic pain, shares his harrowing journey through a Canadian healthcare and social system that he argues is failing its disabled citizens. From the challenges of inadequate education and inaccessible post-secondary programs, to the emotional toll of societal stigma and the bureaucratic obstacles in pursuing intimacy, Mitch exposes the gaps that leave many disabled individuals isolated, under-resourced, and overlooked. He bravely discusses everything from systemic failures and addiction to sex work and survival strategies — reminding us how much dignity and independence are shaped by equity, not charity.
