-45°C in Yellowknife… this is what we call “Arctic mascara”. #LifeUpNorth

I saw someone with frostbitten toes in the ER recently. He had slept in a stairwell when temperatures were under -30C.
He in fact did have a home, but didn’t have the money he needed to get there.
Lack of housing. Poverty.
Canadian society should be warmer than this.

Reflecting on an incredible month in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories- Grateful for the enriching experience in rural family medicine: clinic, ER, hospitalist, addictions medicine! #RuralFamilyMed

#ItDoesntHaveToHurt

I’m at the hospital with my daughter who is receiving an iron infusion.

The care has been exceptional - the nurses kind, attentive, reassuring.

A reminder that despite our challenges it is the people that remain extraordinary. 🙏🏼

Speaker Greg Fergus has my full support. 

Thank you to OperationBlackVoteCA for highlighting the higher standards imposed on Black Canadians in positions of power and success. We can not make that mistake here.

If you don't know where you're going, you'll never get there.

For too long, children have been supported by a patchwork of programs, supports, and benefits, resulting in poor outcomes for many.

It's time to prevent children from falling through the cracks.
