bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.
Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Changes coming in Bill 60 actively changes the balance of power at the Landlord and Tenant Board—unleashing the Dark Side: faster evictions, less access to justice, and more power to landlords. Read our letter: tinyurl.com/StopBill60

Alt: The image features a background with a cityscape shrouded in fog. Prominently positioned on the right side is a Darth Vader wearing a glossy black helmet and armor, partially obscured by mist. Overlaying the image is bold text in varying colors and sizes reading: Does Bill 60 Restore Balance at the LTB? No. This Bill unleashes the Dark Side: Rapid Tenant Evictions and Failing Access to Justice. The RTA is meant to have a tenant protection focus and this is acknowledged by the Courts in many decisions including by the Court of Appeal in White v. Upper Thames. We need access to justice for tenants in Ontario now.

Tenants across Ontario have already won a first victory against the government’s anti-renter agenda, but we can’t stop until we #StopBill60. this isn’t over until the whole bill is completely defeated! EndAusterity.ca/bill-60 1/2

Alt: Rob Flack tweeted: “ Our government is not proceeding with consultations on potential changes to Ontario’s tenancy lease framework regarding month-to-month leases. We will continue to implement other common-sense reforms to strengthen the province’s rental housing market.

Full statement below:
Residents expect stability and predictability in Ontario’s rental market, and now is not the time to consider changes to this system. As such, we have decided not to proceed with consultations on potential changes to month-to-month leases.

Ontario will continue to implement common-sense reforms and strengthen the province’s rental housing market by restoring balance at the Landlord and Tenant Board, cracking down on abuse of the system, and encouraging new rental construction to make it easier for families to find a place to call home.”
