Such sad news. A wonderful, wise and truly warm person. I’ll always remember the generous contributions she made to the Being Human festival. Sorry for your loss, Sarah. I know that you were close.

I hear that. I just think that the looming threat of a Reform-led government is a bigger issue. Our democracy is setup in a way that means we rarely get a govt that reflects the majority political leaning of our country (I.e liberal/progressive), so we need to get better at working the system.
