I have empathy for people who are put in awful situations, not people who taking risky actions. Some people just can’t be helped. For example:
The Ottawa resident planned to be in England for five days in mid-March to make arrangements for her ailing mother, bringing along eight days worth of drugs to manage her diabetes and auto-immune disease.
I’ve seen advice that you should take up to 30-60 extra days of medication when traveling abroad, just in case.
She’s in the country of her sole-citizenship. This is part of the process when you put off finalizing paperwork for 2+ decades. Both the UK and Canada allow for dual citizenship.
So if you neglected your paperwork for something, you wouldn’t help one of your family? Seems incredibly callous.
Stuff happens. Life happens. Paperwork is forgotten, sometimes id is lost , stolen, etc. What happened to that woman isn’t illegal for her, something could have been done to help.
Put yourself in that woman’s shoes for just one second.

I’m not sure what you are trying to say here?

I’m having a hard time with this, because I don’t know how I’d end up in her situation. She says Canada is her home, but hasn’t apply for citizenship for over 2 decades (it’s legal to have dual UK & Canadian citizenship). She goes on an overseas trip, but only brings 3 extra days of lifesaving medication. She’s offered a loophole to get home(enter through a land border), but doesn’t take it. She is a specialist in crisis management, but can’t manage this crisis.
I don’t think it applies in this case, but depending on the medication and country in question, taking extra is not always recommended. My kid and I both take medication that’s restricted in the US, for example, and when we’ve traveled there it’s been with an exact trip-length supply. Bringing extra, especially a lot extra, can mean having all of it confiscated if border guards or police decide you’re dealing.
So zero empathy then.

Holy shit. Tell me you read the article.
I did. Twice, so I could make that comment. What makes you think I didn’t read the article?
