Learn from people like me, whether it is our unaccountable police state who use kids to misrepresent kids to enforce the caste and a long, well paid career for their future or our failing health care system.

This is not new. This is what only the odd media cover from time to time, thankfully.


While Steven Hodges was undergoing debilitating outpatient treatment for his Stage 4 head and neck cancer, he would still take a work meeting with clients, hiding the chemo ports and tubes on his body beneath a suit and wearing a touch of makeup to help mask his pallid complexion.
It was an act of desperation in an even more desperate health situation that had left the independent financial adviser fearful of losing his home.

“The pressure was enormous; I thought I was in a vice,” says the 63-year-old Torontonian who would slip on a facade of wellness if it meant securing a deal that would get him through another month.
