The past year was a pretty bad one. Depression, anxiety, grief, all of that. Wrote about it for Bell Let’s Talk day, here. Have been pretty open about it, too – which is harder for guys to do. (And it’s particularly hard for guys in politics, like me, who aren’t

“Most disturbing slide in the deck is on page 13.” Shows over full course of pandemic – maybe even up to two years, Dr. Donnelly says – Ontario would have lost 100,000 people “had we done nothing.” Drops death toll to 3,000 to 15,000 “if we follow the rules.” Good

Some of you were upset that I said – and so stipulated in my living will – that I didn’t want to be put on a ventilator, if I got sick enough. Some questioned how I got to that point. Here’s how. Most coronavirus patients who end up on ventilators

A living will is sometimes called an advance care planning document, or an advance directive. I call mine a living will, like the Americans do. Basically, it’s a document that describes the care I would (and would not) want to receive if I’m not able to communicate my wishes about
