This is totally obscene. While we struggle to keep or attract qualified medical practitioners society condones paying guys who can skate (or dribble a ball or run) disgusting amounts of money. And fans are complicit in this by buying tickets. $8;46 M for two years.

Uhhh, who?<\/h5>\n
This headline, which was in newspapers across Canada this morning, is totally disrespectful to a man who made serving this country his life’s work. Olympic level athlete, Rhode’s scholar, and someone who served in Cabinet in various portfolios and The Canadian Press focuses on his tenure as PM of ‘just 79 days’ as the headline. You should be ashamed of yourselves. And you wring your hands as newspapers collapse and are seen as irrelevant in this time. Pfft Times-Colonist<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for the invite to the virtual wake for Jo-Anne.\u00a0 Unfortunately the time difference makes it difficult for as it will be 2am here in Sardinia. We will raise a glass to Jo-Anne on Friday evening from the comfort of our home (we are currently under a curfew from 7pm). Condolences and love to you, all her friends and her family.\u00a0 She was taken far too soon.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We only met Jo-Anne once, when she came to Sardinia with Val but she made a huge, lasting impression on us.\u00a0 We became \u201cvirtual friends\u201d from that time on and were very much looking forward to seeing her here again.\u00a0 She had such a great sense of humour, a love of life and we felt that we had known her for years.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Go in peace, Jo-Anne, you will be missed and loved always.<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve been racking my brain trying to come up with memories involving Jo-Anne when we were growing up. The one problem is that we are almost 6 years apart so she left home when I was 12 or 13. But I do remember when we had to move across Canada (dad was in the army) that we used to fight over which side of the car to sit on. She also used to complain to my mum that I was \u201cbreathing on her\u201d. When a boy would call her and I would answer the phone I would yell out \u201chey ugly, it\u2019s for you!\u201d So they could hear it of course.\u00a0<\/div>\n
She saw me trying smoking with my friends and told me I shouldn\u2019t do that and gave me a list of reasons. Ironically she smoked.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Here is one you will like, she moved out on her own and decided to invite the family over and she would cook supper. She made lasagna but she didn\u2019t boil the noodles so it was a little crunchy.\u00a0<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_5″][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”off” specialty=”off” prev_background_color=”#000000″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_5″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Val” _builder_version=”3.21″]\n

Hi Bernice Sending big hugs your way. Thank you so much for this.<\/p>\n
I just saw the picture of Jo and Kevin at your wedding. They both looked so happy (and young! When did you and Kevin get married?) She adored you (she called you an angel) and always said she could not imagine a better person to be her sister-in-law. We will all miss her so much.<\/div>\n

Hi Val, Such a lovely message, all the photos bring back so many wonderful memories…\u00a0![\"\u2764\"](\"https:\/\/mail.google.com\/mail\/e\/2764\")
\ufe0f We married in 1989 and she was our MC. We had so many laughs as she attempted to pronounce the Dutch names for the out of town guests…<\/p>\n
She became like one of my sisters, she was an honorary member of the \u2018sistas\u2019 and was truly a part of my family as well.<\/div>\n
I am glad the LHS had a chance to meet and reminisce at Jo\u2019s yesterday, must have been bittersweet. I hear you made one of her favourite dishes… love that!<\/div>\n
Thanks for all of your groups help in cleaning out the freezer.<\/div>\n
Her departure has left a big hole in many people\u2019s lives, how lucky we all are to have known her…\u00a0

Val Mitchell<\/h4>\nHi Bernice<\/div>\n
Thank you for sharing the story about Jo MC ing your wedding. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when she was practising the Dutch pronunciations\ud83e\udd70<\/div>\n
Yes, our LHS had a poignant time together in Jo’s nest yesterday. It felt good to help with the fridge and freezer, a concrete task to balance the emotional intensity…<\/div>\n
Take care and sleep well. I look forward to Friday’s gathering and all the love and stories
