I downvoted it because someone living in Canada for 25 years and not getting their citizenship, it's their fault. They should understand the risks of leaving Canada if they don't have full citizenship.

I have empathy for people who are put in awful situations, not people who taking risky actions. Some people just can't be helped. For example:

The Ottawa resident planned to be in England for five days in mid-March to make arrangements for her ailing mother, bringing along eight days worth of drugs to manage her diabetes and auto-immune disease.

I've seen advice that you should take up to 30-60 extra days of medication when traveling abroad, just in case.

She's in the country of her sole-citizenship. This is part of the process when you put off finalizing paperwork for 2+ decades. Both the UK and Canada allow for dual citizenship.

I don't think it applies in this case, but depending on the medication and country in question, taking extra is not always recommended. My kid and I both take medication that's restricted in the US, for example, and when we've traveled there it's been with an exact trip-length supply. Bringing extra, especially a lot extra, can mean having all of it confiscated if border guards or police decide you're dealing.
