@lraitt That would be amazing. Watching my dad struggle with Lewy body dementia is difficult . I constantly wonder why there is not a treatment or prevention for dementia with all the scientific advances.. good to know we may be getting there. Thank you for sharing

Family member went to emergency late last night with acute stomach pain. First words spoken at triage: "You really shouldn't come to the ER on Monday. We're busy!"
What kind of idiocy (never mind customer service) is this? #CanadaWAITS

Going to University or College should not be a privilege reserved for those who can afford it. It should be accessible and affordable for everyone.

In fact it should be free.
