My mother-in-law's next door neighbour was Mary Dohey, the exceptionally heroic, life saving Air Canada flight attendant described below. Read the account of the event during a 1971 flight & then tell @AirCanada to reach a fair deal. Rest in peace Mary.
en.wikipedia.org
A survey found that the average flight attendant in Canada works unpaid for 35 hours every month because airlines like Air Canada only pay flight attendants while the plane is in motion. Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau's received compensation of $12.4 million in 2022.

Thanks for the inquiry. No relation that I know of -- but I did enjoy reading about the remarkable contributions of Dr. Flett, including his international medical missions. Very inspirational!.
@FlettGordon was just reading through the article about perfectionism in The New Yorker and I was just curious. Are you a relation of Dr. Norman Flett who I believe was the medical director at St. Joseph's Villa in Dundas?.

My wife Kathy spent her final year before retiring as a school librarian. Librarians not only serve as exceptional resources, in Kathy's case, the library became a cherished place for the girls who opted to spend recess with her & learn while clearly being cared about #mattering.
David is a former teacher, administrator, internationally acclaimed speaker and a best selling author - great weight behind his statement.

We need to combat ageism in Canada & elsewhere. @sismondo does her part with this timely article "We Have to Talk About Ageism" for the @MHCC_. I got to weigh in by discussing ageism, discrimination, prejudice & stigma as forms of anti-mattering @NIAgeing.
