本文询问加拿大的残疾人抗议活动是从美国的类似抗议活动中扩散出来的，还是独立兴起的。它分析了1970年至2005年期间发生的1215起美国抗议活动和177起加拿大抗议活动。它表明，加拿大的抗议活动比美国的抗议活动开始得晚，比美国的抗议活动更有可能是针对残疾人的，更有可能提出关注服务而不是权利的要求，更有可能针对省级政府。说明包括几个显着的抗议成功的影响和多重障碍，单一问题的组织在美国的背景下，在加拿大的背景下，在地方或省级残疾服务的社会结构的发展。本文的结论是，加拿大的抗议活动并不是因为美国的抗议活动而发生的，也不是因为美国的抗议活动而扩散的。
This paper asks if disability protests in Canada diffused from similar protests in the US or if they sprang up independently. It analyzes 1215 American protests and 177 Canadian protests which occurred between 1970 and 2005. It shows that Canadian protests began later than protests in the US, are more likely than American protests to be impairment-specific, are more likely to have demands in which focus on services as opposed to rights and are more likely to target provincial governments. Explanations include the effect of several notable protest successes and the development of multiple-impairment, single-issue organizations in the American context, and the social structure of disability services at the local or provincial levels in the Canadian context. The paper concludes that Canadian protests did not occur because of American protests or diffuse from them.
