Today I am thinking about the healthcare professional who sat beside my hospital bed & tried to convince me to sign a DNR shortly after I found out my partner of 6 years was leaving town forever rendering me homeless & alone. This was before MAID was legal let alone expanded. 🧵

Manual wheelchair users and/or bike folks: I think I know the answer to this but desperation makes one ask foolish questions. How bad would it be for me to use a 24 X 1 3/8 wide tube on a 24X 1 inch tire?

We don't see the BC government rationing HouseCalls to euthanize people. In fact, while they are closing Emergency wards in rural hospitals, they are training rural healthcare workers to "MAiD" people.

What's up with blaming seniors for Canada's housing woes? IMHO, when we get to the point where we're blaming 80-year-old Gramps for not selling his 900 sq ft bungalow in the neighbourhood he's lived in for 50 years to move into the shoebox downtown- we've lost the plot.
