Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
@DavidPSamson I am not sure if I was more happy to see the Knicks win or to know DPS's childhood dream is now a reality and could not have come at a better time for you. 👊🏼
@thevivafrei@KonstantinKisin Absolutely a fantastic show. The knowledge that comes from @KonstantinKisin needs to be heard more often. @thevivafrei There are some tense moments of disagreement, but it's was good to see you step out of your realm of knowledge. Great debate. Applaud you both. 👊🏼
Bill 28 is an attack on all workers. OPSEU/SEFPO education workers will be walking off the job on Friday in solidarity with CUPE colleagues, and their union will have their back. https://t.co/hi8osgkUFV #39KisNotEnough#EducationMatters#onted#onpoli#onlab
This Friday Nov 4th, there will be a province wide protest! LiUNA 3000 will stand by CUPE and education workers in solidarity. Click this link to locate the closest picket line to you! https://t.co/AuEgHY8qz5

An attack on one, is an attack on all. Those who walked before us fought long and hard to earn the right to bargain freely, and LIUNA Local 3000 will join the fight to protect that right.
The OR at my hospital goes from 10 rooms to 2 at ~ 4pm with 1 staffed overnight.
Public surgical infrastructure lays idle the majority of the time.
We don’t need private ORs.
Waitlists would disappear if hospitals were funded to fully utilize the infrastructure they have.
