Yes, sounds like it's a difficult one. I found a print version of the story if you are interested.

King size or twin beds? Or just to annoy visitors who you'd prefer leave and stop drinking your beer.

This sums things up pretty well in regards to finding help.
"There are numerous stories of people with a PD diagnosis being excluded from services, seen as a difficult person rather than someone in desperate need of help. "
Back in 2012 when I was hospitalized for 6 weeks, I spent 2 hours a day in the hospital library trying to find help, contacting low cost/sliding scale counseling places and each and everyone of them said treating personality disorders was not in their mandate and they couldn't help.
Seems the issue is widespread across most countries. CTV in Canada a couple of years ago had a story on W5 I think it was about youth and personality issues, and lack of services, the parents who could afford to sent their kids to the US for treatment at a high cost.

When I worked in NS I went with a youth to see a psychiatrist. She was allocated 10 minutes and all the doctor was interested in was prescribing drugs. It's sad...
Good article.

That is typically the norm in BC from my experience as well, 10 min average appointment and push the pills.

Maybe it's for people who sleep in the middle of huge beds and so can't reach the alarm? Does the remote show the time? That would be handy as I can't see the clock without my specs.

I am going to visit family in a week, and was going to drive both ways, but found good deals on both airfare and a one way car rental, so will fly to Palm Springs and drive home for about the same cost as driving round trip.
Total price paid $151.73
Actual airfare that Air Canada gets $69.00
The other $82.73 is taxes, gov't fees and airport fees and $43.57 is US gov't fees and taxes.
Goods and Services Tax - 5.06
U.S. Immigration User Fee 8.74
Agriculture Fee - United States 4.94
U.S. Federal Customs Fee 7.05
Air Travellers Security Charge 12.10
Airport Improvement Fee - Canada 20.00
Transportation Tax - U.S. 22.84
Insanity when taxes and gov't & airport fees are a larger chunk of cost of flying and the airfare itself is pretty reasonable and downright cheap.
I was surprised to find such low fares 9 days out, Westjet matched Air Canada but Air Canada is using a wide body, even though it's Rouge and not mainline Air Canada.
Plus a 767 I haven't flown in 10-12 years, where 737's are common and flown on dozens if not hundreds of times.
US airlines were charging mostly the same, but I didn't want to take a regional jet and make a connection.

Imagine waking up in the night and seeing that. One might think it was a count down to something
