There are some very good MLAs in Manitoba. When I emailed mine about KN95 masks and the absurdity of only having them at LC's, they appeared in my mailbox within 15 hours (yes, on a Sunday). Big thanks to Jim Malloway, MLA for Elmwood. #ThankfulSunday

Why am I having such bad anxiety about the snowstorm? Last time Wpg had +30cm of heavy wet snow & wind (Oct 2019) I had 4 tons of tree crash onto my house & garage, ripping the power lines off my house, landing live under a massive branch. I think I have P.TREE.S.D. #MBStorm

Health minister cries to the media she's trolled by those who "spin it into the narrative they want it to be, without any regard for the truth". I waited 725 days for knee replacement surgery & not a peep back when I emailed her. You want the truth? You can't handle the truth.

I also saw my family Dr. for my annual physical last week. He was stunned when he saw me. Since April 1, 2021 I lost 46 lbs. Sure, my knee replacement surgery wasn't life saving surgery, but it did change my life. It's amazing to be doing things and enjoying life again.
