If anyone is curious why the US is so good on this (for the bits that affect me), https://www.ada.gov/opdmd.htm  is a short read on our laws

I don't really have a conclusion here. I mostly just wanted to vent. Hopefully y'all like my new geriatric look.

"Looking handicapped" is helpful as a solution to that, as much as I hate the label.

That said, even in America where the law is on my side, people see me on the scooter and assume I'm some asshole who hates walking.

I've never been fond of the "handicapped" label (hence why I use a scooter and not a wheelchair). A cane makes me feel handicapped.

That said, I'm debating if I want to keep using a cane in situations where my scooter. I feel geriatric as all hell using it.

The fact that my building can have any say in my choice of mobility device should be illegal, and Canada should be ashamed for the situation

It's been legitimately helping. I'm walking more than I would otherwise. My pain level is a bit lower. But I shouldn't need to do it

So I've been trying out using a cane lately (building I work in will not let me use my scooter). I've got some complex feelings about it
