Around 3/4 opioid-related deaths in Canada are men. What we say can influence whether people reach out for help. Help or get help now:

A powerful ⚡storm is heading towards #Ottawa. This is a long-lived storm that could produce a derecho. These storms are hard to predict, and can dissipate abruptly, expect it in Ottawa around 5pm➜6pm. I would cancel any outdoor plans during that time. buymeacoffee.com/RolfCampbell

Thankful to live in a city with such a wonderful childrens hospital. Thank you CHEO Ottawa staff for the compassionate care my 3 year old received last night. I knew he was in safe capable & caring hands. #Thanksgiving 🙏

Proud to support ⁦@cmckenney⁩ for our next mayor. Catherine knows how City Council works, supports smart, green development, has a fully costed program that prudently uses our tax dollars, & will continue to stand up for all to make Ottawa an even better place for everyone.

Legal cannabis products, which were legalized in 2018, are tested for toxic substances and accurate THC and CBD levels. Choose legal cannabis products so you know exactly what you’re using: ow.ly/GmxC50LbMZI

So just to recap: - kids getting hit with RSV & other viruses hard - no public health push for flu or covid vaccines from govt - no public health push for masking indoors in public spaces - no fever & pain meds - ERs pushed past capacity - major shortage of amoxicillin Cool

Ontario's CMOH says if the hospital capacity is "threatened" he would recommend mandatory masking. Hospitals last week were 108% over capacity for pediatric beds -- while CHEO was 280% over capacity. #onpoli

I’ve been thinking of a proverb I grew up hearing in EA: “When elephants fight, it’s the grass that suffers.” Children are on ventilators & hospitals are running out of cribs. Yet the grown-ups are arguing about what to do. I wrote about it @TheAgenda tvo.org/article/with-o…

UPDATE: Dr. Supriya Sharma, Chief Medical Advisor at Health Canada, says one million bottles of children's pain and fever medication produced abroad are entering the country, and medications will be appearing on store shelves "early next week" — meant to ease an ongoing shortage.

A cannabis brownie looks the same as a regular brownie, but it can cause severe poisoning if eaten by a child. If your holiday baking includes #cannabis, store it safely. Keep it #HighandLocked to keep kids safe this season! ow.ly/spG550LMsw4

Today is the 5th snowiest December day on record in #Ottawa: 31cm. #OttWeather #ONWx #OttNews

I debated posting this. But the article by The Globe and Mail about the proposed “Compassionate Intervention Act” in Alberta is just wrong. It’s hypocritical and wrong. #ableg #abpoli #abhealth #harmreduction #drugpoisoningcrisis #opioids

Poilievre, who called CBC News “Trudeau propaganda” yesterday, is now using a story CBC News broke to question the prime minister. Which is it, then? Is it news or government propaganda? Or is it only news when you agree with it?

If you want to order pizza from a place that gives free slices to ppl experiencing homelessness & has just offered to supply Operation Come Home with pizza at a BIG discount for youth, go ahead & order from Gabriel Pizza at 277 Bank Sreet owned by Mitch.

C r e e p y. The anger. That long pause.

There were more than 400 wildfires — over 200 out of control — ablaze on Tuesday across Canada. In Ontario, a layer of haze blanketed parts of Ottawa and Toronto, where officials warned residents about the poor air quality. nyti.ms/42mqbEk
