Air Canada destroys Toronto disability advocate's wheelchair AirCanada Toronto
, Air Canada initially only offered Ziv a $300 voucher despite the wheelchair's $30,000 price tag, but they've since agreed to pay for the repairs or a replacement.
Still, Ziv said it's not enough, because the real issue is how people with disabilities are treated while travelling.. "The discrimination people with disabilities face when travelling has gone on too long. It is systemic, it is pervasive, it is violence and has caused trauma to thousands of people beyond repair."
Since sharing her experience on social media, Ziv's story has resonated with many people with disabilities who've endured similar hardships, and they've reached out to share their own stories with her — showing just how pervasive the issue is and how badly things need to change.
