Why this mother and son are 'love bombing' a London, Ont., hospital
CBC
Holding signs that read "Thank you for your tireless work" and "Health care workers. The real MVPs," Sara Lanthier and her son Will have been "love bombing" St. Joseph's hospital in London, Ont., to counter last month's rolling anti-vaccine mandate protests at hospitals across the country.
"While I support people's right to protest, I just couldn't understand why it was in front of hospitals, and it made me really angry," said Sara Lanthier.
She wanted to do something.
So together with her son, Lanthier has been standing in front of their neighbourhood hospital for an hour each day before school to encourage staff as they head into work.
Lanthier calls it "love bombing."
"We just want to say thank you," said Lanthier. "To all hospital staff, the people that do the cleaning, the people that work at reception, to all of them."
"On the second day, a hospital worker said, 'Oh, you're so cute.' And that was nice," said Will. "People have just been saying thank you and how sweet it is and stuff like that. So it feels pretty good."
