@RogersHelps @Rogers any update on your outage in the Mineola area (Mississauga)? Coming up on 15 hours with no service.
I have worked for the Alzheimer Society Peel for almost 20 years. I love the work we do. It is meaningful and valuable for so many reasons. Please consider supporting through our Community Team fundraising page below. #igwalkforalz

Today, our palliative care team went to see a man labeled as ‘non-compliant’ & ‘difficult." We asked:
“What is most important to you today?”
He started crying.
“No one ever asked before!"
Patient centred care isn’t just jargon. When it happens, it changes lives.

LAX to YYZ somehow was a 14 hour travel day. I thought I was having a bad day…. While picking up my guitar at baggage claim, I noticed 3 whimpering dogs in kennels. I asked the airport staff how long they were there for and I was told they were there for over 2 hours. 🧵

When haters go after your looks and differences, it means they have nowhere left to go. And then you know you’re winning!
I have Aspergers and that means I’m sometimes a bit different from the norm. And - given the right circumstances- being different is a superpower.
