CAMROSE, ALTA. - An 86-year-old woman is on Day 3 of a hunger strike in Alberta, vowing not to eat until staffing shortages in the province's long-term care facilities are addressed.

"I decided this was the only way I was going to get help," said Marie Geddes, who has only had water and ginger ale since her last meal on April 20.

"We need help desperately. Two people looking after 17 is not enough."

"I waited 45 minutes on the toilet this morning waiting for someone to come," she said. "You wait and wait and they're too busy to come put me to bed."
