A beautifully written tribute 💔
Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Colleen Jones was something wonderful to happen for anyone who knew her | CBC Sports
Colleen Jones was a tour de force. When you were with her you felt invincible and that anything was possible. She made you a believer.

💔 A legend.
Colleen Jones was larger than life.
I’m devastated by her death. And will be forever inspired by how she lived. And fought. And loved.
More than anything I’ll miss our laughs and lattes. And am so grateful for every second we had together. I love you, Coll.

I’ve always wanted a Christmas Cactus. They are so pretty when they are blooming. So today I finally bought myself one. She really brightens up the room.
We will see if I can keep her alive until next Christmas! 😉

I wish people would defend democratic freedom with the same energy they defend “Wicked” against any slightly negative critique. 🙄

🚨 Newly unveiled draft legislation outlines AB government's plans to bring in two-tier health care, by permitting doctors to charge patients for insured services.
"This is an unprecedented attack on Albertans’ public health care," says FOM's Chris Gallaway: www.friendsofmedicare.org/secret_plan_...

You can get your knee and shoulder fixed faster, but have to wait longer for your cancer surgery times.
Govt knows and refuses to acknowledge (there’s no profit to be had for their friends treating those surgical conditions)

Rudolph the Red-Nosed reindeer was a black sheep because of something on his face that stood out. So when people give you a hard time over the mask on your face, just remember that Rudolph saved Christmas and you’re a badass motherfucker too, out there saving lives and shit. 😷❤️

Real ED Case in AB 🧵 :
Elderly couple 91 and 92yo, living in their own home caring for each other. Slowly declining, as one has worsening dementia, and they can no longer live on their own anymore.
No beds to place them in continuing care from the community
