      Canadian Republicans want to end MAID but I am willing to die on that hill seeing the alternative and seeing how peaceful MAID can be for families and the person affected. These ghouls want to enforce horrific deaths.

        Having seen my father die of alzheimers after years and years of awefulness. I did not cry at the funeral. I was cried out from my crying for his plight in life. I was happy he finally had respite. I am so jealous of the option.

        I think you mean Canadian Conservatives.

        Republicanism in Canada or Canadian Republicanism is a movement for the replacement of the monarchy of Canada and a monarch as head of state with a parliamentary republic and a democratically-selected Canadian as head of state.

    Dementia and Parkinson’s. That sucks.

    My kiddos love listening to his self-narrated stories on Spotify. (“OK Google. Play Robert Munsch stories.”) His love for children is so clear in his interactions with them in those recordings.

      There is a 50% risk of dementia over 65, it will cost Canada hundreds of billions in care.

      But since the Chretien government, biomedical research budgets on this have been in retraction, because voters don’t care.

    Sad news.

    Growing up his stories were such a big part of my childhood, and they were lovingly passed down to my cousins and my nephews and nieces. They’ve shaped the hearts of generations and helped add so much love and happiness to the world.

    I hope the best for him and his loved ones.
