Having reported on national Canadian medical politics for 40 years - the conversations going on now about equity, racism, indigenous health and leadership, and patient co-design could not have been imagined when I started Canadian Medical Association Naheed Dosani Jane Philpott Nicole Nickerson

No, I’m not done yet, actually. Next time you catch yourself thinking “hey Indigenous people are really underrepresented in this space” think about WHY. I look around and think how many more Indigenous people should be here. 1/4

To the armchair forensic investigators and amateur historians insisting that children buried in mass graves were victims of disease, please stop. Society is past the tipping point of accepting a sanitized version of Canadian history. #genocide #History #truthandreconciliation

Comments from Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 and Jason Luan’s today demonstrate that they have absolutely no understand of the impact that #harmreduction services can have on both saving AND improving lives. But many of us do, and will keep fighting for them ❤️

With the expected high temperatures next week, If you see someone who doesn’t look like they have somewhere to go, please call the DOAP team at (403) 998-7388. Our shelters continue to have capacity. If anyone looks like they are in medical distress call 9-1-1 immediately.

Yes- the same racist law that forced kids into residential schools is still on the books despite the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples laying out a 20 year plan to get rid of it in 1996.

Not simple but critical: Fixing Canada’s #housing affordability crisis requires a strategy to address its several causes that include zoning by-laws, the tax system, stock, mortgage rules, ownership eligibility, rent control, and more.

Hard for many to imagine #Structuralviolence & critical need for #harmreduction: “since I have started going to Safeworks, I have learned so much-my life has changed in a way that I never even imagined it could change. I have managed to get my life back ” calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…

Conflating all substance use with a substance use disorder is harmful and misleading. It reflects a dominate narrative of medicalization. Ok now I can get on with work.
