Okay so I recently did a post on accessibility, titled accessibility is a myth, I know what it sounds like but it's not what you think, check it out and let me know if you agree. Also thanks for posting that was very cool of you

I mostly agree with everything you said! Accessibility shouldn't be a huge deal. It should be the default. For now, it is a big deal. Celebrating people who do it right will help us "normalize" (for lack of a better term) making web sites and apps accessible.

I don't even agree with myself sometimes! but the point stands and you are 💯 correct on this, accessibility is a huge deal right now, perhaps some sort of failing has been recognised, or tooling is better and Canada is a desirable market, whatever it is, it's exciting.
