Your insight and perspective are most appreciated. Am hoping Hayden does indeed get the support he deserves, and that you do too. Thanks so much for dropping by @Cheyanne.

If CNIB didn't have to fund the library my 22 month old son would get the daily living support he needs/deserves from his Early Intervention worker. It just breaks my heart that our own government is discriminating against my own son, a fun loving toddler who LOVES books to boot. Thank you again for your blog, it provides an eye opening insight for those who may not know of this potential devastating decision. Canadians have a right to read....period.

You're absolutely right - relying on charity isn't a bad thing. Am sure CNIB feels the same way and wants to invest their donor dollars in services that will help people where they need it most. In my opinion, CNIB's Library (while obviously critically important to helping the blind and partially sighted maintain their independence) should be a public service funded by the government--just like the average local public library. As I understand it, this is the point of Right to Read. If CNIB didn't have to fund their ongoing Library service, these millions of dollars could be spent to increase and enhance existing services in communities across the country. And that would give the most value to everyone who depends on their services. Thank you for stopping by. You’re absolutely right – relying on charity isn’t a bad thing.

Somehow I never believe giving voice to a stance against an injustice is overly, or even overtly political. Perhaps that's why my children are happy that I'm too old for PTA meetings!! Great Post!!
