An important issue close to my heart. Thank you Lisa Raitt for opening up and sharing your heart-wrenching story.

Did politics muzzle a doctor speaking out about COVID-19?; Political powerhouse Lisa Raitt gave up her career to care for her husband.

Just finished watching The Father - a new movie with Anthony Hopkins. It is a very realistic view of dementia and how the mind plays tricks on people with this disease. The acting (Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman) is fabulous and I highly recommend it. We need to understand how difficult this disease is for the patient and for their caregivers.

We have so much to learn when it comes to caring for those who can no longer look after themselves 💕

COVID-19 has shown how much Canada has to do to improve long-term care: Over-stressed staff are working in understaffed and outdated, underfunded facilities, where essential workers are paid minimal wages and treated as temporary staff.

Very sad day indeed - John Mann was only 57 years old 😢

Today, we mourn the loss of a dear friend and Canadian icon.

John Mann was a source of light, inspiration and hope for us all.

Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

Here we come ... the Grey Tsunami that we all knew was imminent as baby boomers age.

Ontario's fiscal watchdog says long-term care waiting lists will continue to grow even as the government plans to add 15,000 new beds.
