[Amber Mac @ambermac]

My dad was my best friend. We could finish each other's sentences, and we spoke every day of my life about business, politics, life, and most importantly, family.

He passed away last night (Nov 12th) with all of us at his side. Until the last minute, he worked with us on everything from his obituary, to what he wanted at his funeral, and how we can keep his legacy alive (including our strong PEI roots in Georgetown and beyond).

He was the healthiest person I knew, active for 3 hours a day through his late 70s until a sudden AML leukemia diagnosis this spring rocked our lives.

My dad fought so hard throughout this battle, and he never complained. The nurses would ask him how he was doing and he would smile, compliment their "terrific" work, and ask them about their lives.

Late in the summer, the chemo started to work so we had him home with us on PEI where we enjoyed many wonderful days. Unfortunately, this past Friday, things took a turn for the worse and we rushed from our home in Toronto to be by his side. The leukemia had returned with a vengeance, and the chemo was no longer working.

I am grateful that we had six extra (and often tough) months with him thanks to modern medicine and phenomenal healthcare teams in both Toronto (@Sunnybrook) and on the Island (@QEHFoundation).

Also, more than 50 blood transfusions kept him alive throughout this time and gave him more better days than worse (thank you @CanadasLifeline - if you can donate, please do).

My dad's funeral is this Saturday, which will be a celebration of his incredible life. I look forward to sharing more about him, but it will undoubtedly be the toughest speech of my life because you couldn't possibly sum up what he meant to me and so many others in such a short amount of time.

Love you, Dad xo

In 2022 Twitter was caught lying when it collected people's personal data under the pretext of security but then used it for ad targeting.

We held it accountable through an @FTC consent decree that required it to take basic steps to prevent data abuse, like limiting employees' access to people's sensitive data.

Now Musk is asking the Trump administration to terminate the consent decree, suggesting that US leadership in AI requires allowing X to deceive people about how their data is used.

This important filing from Secretary Chopra explains why Musk's petition should be denied.

Today is a devastating day for the 95.7 NewsRadio family and for Nova Scotians.

Rick Howe, Sheldon MacLeod, Todd Veinotte, Dan Ahlstrand and the entire 95.7 News Radio team provided news, entertainment, and important opportunities for Nova Scotians to share their opinions. They did so with balance, integrity and well loved personalities.

I always appreciated the opportunity to call in to talk with Nova Scotians from the time I was first elected as an MLA, through my time as Premier. 

While I wish I could have one more opportunity to take calls on an open hour, I want to thank the entire team for their dedication and professionalism. 

We will find other ways to continue to connect, but the loss of 95.7 NewsRadio will leave a void in important, civil, political discussions.

Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.
