We are thinking of Lynne (Blaze)

As many of you know, Lynne (Blaze) has been, from the very beginning, one of our strongest and tireless defenders of the Charter rights of Canadians opposed to our Government’s compliance with the foreign FATCA law. As part of our FATCA IGA litigation in Canada’s Federal Court Lynne acts as the Chair of the Litigation Committee of ADCS.

My sad news is that Lynne is now at the University Hospital in London Ontario. She was in the ICU but has now been transferred out of this unit.

From the hospital Lynne is already sending us emails about her thoughts on FATCA etc. and provided this update on Maple Sandbox:

“Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts. I was transferred last night from ICU to Neurology. Tonight a doc diagnosed me with epilepsy. I do not need that after all the challenges of 36 years of M.S.! She said I will probably lose my drivers’s license.

I was on a ventilator for a few days while I was in ICU–even though my Living Will clearly says no ventilator, dialysis, etc.

I didn’t check my e-mails for a few days and I am just working my way through 98. If you are one of them, I apologize for not responding to you.”

We all wish her a speedy recovery, and it might be nice if you could share your thoughts on this post.

  1. @Lynne

    Well I just don’t like thinking of our feisty, defiant leader in hospital – you have always been so strong and so dedicated. But now you need to take care of you. Rest well and look forward to your recovery!

  2. Best wishes for a full recovery. Your great efforts in fighting FATCA have always been an inspiration to many.

  3. I heard from Lynne today. I doubt she’s lost her fighting spirit. I recommended rest and full recovery from this setback. Our team does not function without her calming presence. Nor personally do I. I hope our messages to her give her strength.

    So far, as we experience our collective FATCA nightmare, little better has come of it for me than the new friendships I have made with many people and Lynne is the cream of the crop. Hang tough Lynne.
