Duncan Sinclair hosts a special live panel from the Walrus Talks: AccessAbility, featuring five courageous voices working to advance accessibility across Canada. Stephanie Cadieux, Neil Belanger, Chris Dodd, Lorin MacDonald, and Prasanna Ranganathan explore the deep gap between Canada's legislative promises and the daily reality faced by millions of Canadians with disabilities. The conversation examines how unconscious bias, fear of getting it wrong, and fragmented accountability perpetuate exclusion, while highlighting the economic and human cost of inaction. From Indigenous communities facing delayed access to federal accessibility standards, to the power of bearing witness and centering lived experience in policy design, the panel calls on all Canadians to move beyond conversation toward meaningful, accountable change.
