The late Senator Hugh Segal was a visionary, my mentor, & strong advocate for universal basic income. UBI could cut poverty rates in half & give people hope & dignity. What are you waiting for Doug Ford? #endpoverty #onpoli

A small EDI group wants medical training to be centred on social justice, not medical expertise. Certainly, the curriculum must raise -ism awareness BUT I want my health care to be in the hands of a competent doctor (and so do my patients), not a social justice warrior.

Elyakim Libman, a security guard at the Nova Festival, was so horrifically mutilated that his remains were buried alongside Victoria Gorilov by mistake.

He had last been seen trying to help two injured women as the chaos unfolded around him. He was able to save many festival…

Heartbreaking news. Dror Or, an Israeli abducted from his home in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7 has been declared dead. His body is being held in Gaza.

Dror was taken hostage with two of his children, Noam, 17 and Alma, 13, after terrorists set the house on fire. Yonat, Dror’s…

Remember when the convoy occupied Ottawa? It wasn’t about vaccines. It was organized hate, anti-democracy.

Then anti-trans disturbances in boards of ed and outside schools. Organized bigotry.

We called it out. Together.

Same. Not about liberation. Organized Jew hate. And yet.

Today I informed Queen’s & SEAMO I won’t be seeking renewal for a 2nd term. I'll serve as dean of QHS & CEO of SEAMO until the end of my term (June 30, 2025) then pass the baton to a new leader while I work on health policy & health systems in other ways. queensu.ca/gazette/storie…

Western civilization has lost it's respect for people living with dementia. Talk to your grandparents, kids. They are deathly scared of nurses like me 'diagnosing' dementia.

Due to pervasive stigma and social judgement, people like me are providing #TraumaInformed dementia care.

Persistent staffing shortages have left nurses bearing the crushing weight of overcapacity health care systems across the country. Solutions start with supporting and respecting nurses and health care workers.

Thinking that those who speak out against racism hate white people, is indeed WILD. So, when you protect your loved ones against ableism and/or ageism, does that mean you hate able-bodied people and young people?

Your diabolical manipulation is rooted in your desire to keep…

Don’t say, “but people are also there for peace.” If you stand in the street with anyone who calls for death to Jews, rally with those who condone the violence of Oct 7, or encamp with those who intimidate Jewish students and faculty, you’ve aligned with hate, not social justice.

Domestic violence is more common among pregnant women than preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. I was lucky to survive my pregnancy.
Tune in to “When Violence Escalates During Pregnancy” to hear my story.

The author forgot to mention #Jama did not believe #Israeliwomen & girls when they said they were raped Oct 7th. Jama failed all women & girls, taking them backwards after we fought so hard to be believed always. Jama serves only an #antisemetic agenda. nationalpost.com/opinion/just-i…

Silence can be very loud.
I've been trying to get supports for years now.
Seems impossible.
Not giving up, but have to scale down for now b/c
day-to-day survival in a foreign country w/limited resources and challenging conditions (+increasing heat) is gradually taking a toll.

The trauma of death d/t drug OD ripples through many lives.

Nurse: “I had to take Mom & Dad to view their son’s body. He died from an overdose. I held Mom’s hand & held her up. I cried w/her, Deb.”

The son (who was a boy) did not want to die. Write your MPP. #SCS #OD #onhealth

'Nova Scotia is the only province to routinely collect race-based data as part of its health care system.' theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Time for other provinces to follow suit (with care), as Andrew Pinto & colleagues argued here: cmaj.ca/content/195/25…
