My final story from Ireland about those who tried to recover the 329 people killed aboard Air India Flight 182 when a B.C.-made bomb exploded. They suffered serious PTSD but feel coming here to meet families is healing. vancouversun.com/news/air-india…

Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

This story isn't just about the challenges faced by a family fighting for health care. But also examines what's available & not available in our public system -- and if society knows about those restrictions. My heart goes out to Caileigh and her recovery. vancouversun.com/feature/teen-b…
