In the absence of a robust welfare state and in the face of structural poverty and discrimination, Canada’s assisted-suicide program is not so progressive. jacobin.com/2024/05/canada…

Know why Stephen Lecce wants us all talking about cell phones (again)?

So that we’re not talking about how harmful his latest funding formula is for our kids.

An incredible teaching example of how to mislead with observational data.

John-Paul Danko City of Hamilton As a homeowner and taxpayer who also happens to be an EM doctor seeing destitute people with heat related illness, I'd be more than happy to see my taxes raised to pay for this

Your lack of compassion is a you issue

I can’t stop thinking about Zoë Coombes’ comment here. She’s absolutely right.

In what other job where one is placed in a position of trust can one commit a violent crime at and in the course of one's work and remain employed?

Can anyone in #HamOnt recommend someone who could pour a little concrete pad for a barbecue in my backyard?

I have strategically unfollowed a lot of medtwitter accounts over the years for, quite frankly, my own sanity, so I missed this, but it's a great illustration of a VERY common misconception about diagnosis: just because a test is negative does not mean it was not indicated.

You know what I'm just realizing? It's not just Andre Picard who invisiblized this. I don't think a single health journalist in Canada shared my Policy Options piece. No MPs. No MLAs. I could be wrong since I don't see all RTs but notable silence.

Good morning. I wrote about why disabled people need MAiD-free healthcare spaces - and much more.
In a public-relations war, money can create even more imbalance than it does in a courtroom.

The NYPD is posting evidence that they are a pack of lawless thugs that has no interest in the law, justice or transportation safety. There are a dozen cars on the sidewalk and the one behind the ticketing officer has no plates. They need to be under a federal receivership.

I’m filling out a medical form online and I’m curious who’s out there speaking Old English.

I've heard people say it's all 'Trudeau boosters' who are upset about Poilievre meeting with the convoy chuds.

That's verifiably untrue. I've seen people across the spectrum, from social democrats to moderate conservatives who don't support the CPC, react from disbelief to anger

It just might be the biggest scandal you've never heard of. Read my latest:

'The WHO's claim that COVID wasn't airborne cost millions of lives. Now, they're changing the definition of airborne'

What would be the response if Trudeau was taking selfies next to “Fuck Pierre” flags, cause Pierre is doing exactly that here. Dude even went in to hang out with convoy folks with a Diagolon flag on their trailer.

Saying you had limited information before shooting your mouth off as premier on a then-murder case is not really a defence!

'A certain narrative was created at a time when the police were in control of all of the information – an unfortunate narrative that put Mr. Zameer in the position of a deliberate, intentional killer'

Cops value their right to take action, but not their responsibility to explain themselves. We can't fix a policing system that is working as intended, we have to replace it

My latest, on the outrageous prosecution of Umar Zameer, for Yes, Everything!

The whole prosecution was in breach of legal ethics and they should be reported to the Law Society of Ontario.
