Thank you @katiederosayyj for giving Sam’s story a platform. She deserved so much better.
“I believe change needs to happen,” @adriandix said re Providence Health's policy banning medically assisted death in its health facilities. His statement comes after my story about Sam O'Neill who was forced to transfer out of St. Paul's to receive MAID https://t.co/FIYR7LtLHs
I’m rising from the Twitter dead to say hello, I’m back at the @timescolonist! My body is (mostly) recovered from hiking approximately 1 million miles (okay, 2,650) on the PCT, but I think my heart will always be a little bit wild. What’s new on the Island? Open to story ideas! https://t.co/jtvfVtgUYv
Callout: I'm looking for groups of gal pals who are celebrating Galentines Day next week and willing to chat with me about their plans for a story in the @timescolonist ! Email is in my bio or you can send me a message :)
