Love the vibes and energy of the @IntlTeam... fought to the very end despite being massively outgunned. Tried to find any edge to keep it close and stuck to the process. Excited for the future of the team. @TrevorImmelman

“ALC patients aren't responsible for this crisis nor will forced transfer result in a single new staff position. Elderly ALC patients are a scapegoat to divert attention from Ontario’s decades-long policy of underfunding hospitals" - Michael Hurley, @OCHU_Healthcare President
@AlanShipnuck This was a really interesting pod. Provides a lot of context and nuance for the decisions that people are making and the downstream effects. I am enjoying the journalism and stories from Fire Pit. Keep it up and thanks
