Impact & Consequences
The ripple effect: Understanding the true cost
Explore the devastating consequences our family faced due to the Canada Revenue Agency's actions. This page sheds light on the real-world impact of administrative decisions, revealing the human cost behind official processes.
The most crucial aspect to understand is the profound effect these issues had on our family's daily life, health, and well-being, specifically through the lens of ACE scores. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) significantly shape development and predict future outcomes. The hardship imposed directly contributed to high ACE scores for my children, creating a foundation for ongoing challenges that no child should have to face.
Adverse childhood experiences and lasting impacts
Documenting the damage: Beyond personal stories
Beyond our personal narratives, tangible evidence powerfully illustrates the real impact. The fact that Jordan's Principle has had to approve over $13,000 for trauma therapy and psychoeducational assessments for my children speaks volumes. These benefits were not mine but belonged to my children. They stripped away safety, stability, healthy nutritious food, and clothing that fit, taking away everything needed for a decent childhood and unfairly blaming the mother for their choices.
A crisis unfolding: The chain reaction of consequences
These problems initiated a devastating chain reaction, leading to an ACE score of 7. The consequences manifest as behavioural issues and an 8-year-old who questions the meaning of life, wonders if he will ever be happy, and frequently asks about what happens after death. This is a crisis. How can a government virtue signal about its commitment to truth and reconciliation when Indigenous children were harmed so severely?
"The government has chosen self-protection over the lives of its citizens, demonstrating a moral bankruptcy without an ounce of integrity."
