I want to share this from my heart.

In the last few days, this petition has grown faster than I ever imagined. Thousands of Canadians are standing up together and saying this is not acceptable.

I started this petition as a new father, with no background in activism, no team, just me and my wife trying to build a life in Canada. When I read what happened to Prashant, I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking:

“If this can happen to him… what would happen to my own small family if I ever needed emergency help?”

No Canadian should die waiting for emergency care.

Not one more family should suffer this kind of loss.

I’ve now been in contact with people who are helping me understand how to take this further.

We are not stopping here.

This is becoming bigger than a petition - it’s becoming a national call for change.

To everyone who signed:

Thank you for giving this momentum.

Now we need to push harder.

- Please keep sharing

- Please keep speaking

- Let’s make this a national demand

Together, we can turn this into real change - so no one else in Canada loses a loved one like this.

This is just the beginning.
