In episode #421 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Catherine Frazee and Quin Lawrence. They were part of the upswell of opposition by disability activists to Bill C-7, which expanded the eligibility for medical assistance in dying in Canada. Frazee, Lawrence, and many other disabled people characterized Bill C-7 as not just ableist but also as a form of eugenics. In the week before the legislation passed, that opposition culminated in an action called the Disability Filibuster. They talk about the ableism of the bill, their opposition to it, and their vision for continuing the struggle now.
