This is tragic. Our patients wait about one month from seeing the surgeon to the surgery date, longer for immediate reconstruction. Our patients wait up to 3 months (also unacceptable) for their diagnostic needle biopsy before they see the surgeon.

Standing with @YvonneJJones and @jyduclos and breast cancer survivors, stakeholders and patients to reinforce our commitment to better breast cancer screening guidelines and education for women to be empowered in their right to protect their health.

8 hours on the phone, 3 with lovely Albert from @WestJet customer service. Rebooked for the 27.

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

After 5 hours finally got through to @WestJet. Be kind to the agents. Their employers are at fault for this mess. #workersolidarity

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

@SunwingVacay @SunwingVacay - that was a kuddos to you for not preventively cancelling all flights from Toronto….as @WestJet has done.

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

Hey @WestJet - @Aeromexico and @AirCanada and @SunwingVacay just took off from Toronto Airport. Funny that. Still stuck in Ottawa. Customer service?

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

@CQ__MD @riverheadbooks Haha! Yes! But I miss those days!! Miss my fantastic students above all!!

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

@globeandmail Hope they are not on @WestJet!

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

@WestJet You canceled our flights YOW-YYZ-HUX and have not rebooked. Shut down customer service. All other airlines are flying. This is a money grab. Shame on you.

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

Hey @WestJet - FYI - everyone else is flying…you cancel flights and shut down customer care and options. Well done! Will fly @AirCanada in the future. #CustomerService #WinterStorm

[Melanie Adrian @melanieadrian]

Hey @JustinTrudeau @SeanFraserMP @CitImmCanada bring our at-risk Allies out of Afghanistan. Time for action is NOW. #sosSIM #SaveTheSim #CanadasLeftBehind
