A Small Surprise

Gentle Readers, you may recall that in October, I sent a letter to my MP and to the Prime Minister with respect to proposed alterations to the (Canadian) Disability Tax Credit that would seriously impact the lives of those living with Type 1 Diabetes (and, doubtless, others).


Yesterday was Sir Frederick Banting's birthday.  Today I received this in the mail...

Thankful for small mercies.

"...do good: as we have time, and opportunity, to do good in every possible kind, and in every possible degree to all..."
