Belleville born, Fort Erie Ontario raised. Canadian Senate hopeful. My career has taught me the greatest public service is one that is respectful and efficient.

I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it'll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.

Ms. @EricaRHill even said I’ve been getting vaccines since I was a little bird. I had no idea!

Very excited to share the recent publication of a #governmentrelations guide that I authored! https://t.co/GynqHwb0Nu (disponible en français aussi).

I had the opportunity to reflect on Canada's approach to regulating Natural Health Products and cannabidiol (CBD) during an interview last week #nhp #cbd #dshea #lessonslearned https://t.co/AIsclyDqVg

Inspiration and oppression can both change behaviours. Inspired behaviours are more durable. #inspireothers

Stating assumptions is the scientific method for day-to-day life.

[Adam Gibson @AdamGibsonTrue]

Statistics like these, combined with overtly paternalistic re-opening plans, do wonders to undermine confidence in the efficacy of vaccines. https://t.co/uYgG9tJp7Y

Canada is the largest country in the world to share a land border with only one other nation. The USA. Through good lessons, and bad, our countries have been there for each other. Perhaps, more than either of us can imagine. #lovethyneighbour #G7

[Adam Gibson @AdamGibsonTrue]

Science proves or disproves assumptions using validated outcomes and published methods. It builds confidence. When governments use unproven assumptions to support policy, performance, communications and laws it risks undermining confidence and takes good science down with it.

[Adam Gibson @AdamGibsonTrue]

I believe federally we can do more than fund a one-off vaccine facility. We could envision incentives for education and industry. Use enabling policy and regulations to make Canada a skilled international centre of health product research, manufacturing and patient support.

[Adam Gibson @AdamGibsonTrue]

Agree! Confidence from governments in how vaccines support regular life also goes a lot further to support getting vaccinated than a picture of someone getting a shot.

[Perrin Beatty @PerrinBeatty]

If Saskatchewan has already presented its reopening plan and Quebec will present its on Tuesday, why can’t other governments in Canada take us into their confidence? Our strategy shouldn’t be to frighten Canadians into doing the right thing. It should be to give them hope.

[Adam Gibson @AdamGibsonTrue]

Ignorance is lazy. Ignorance is making an assumption instead of an effort to understand. Ignorance isn't bliss. It's convenient. #ignoranceisconvenient

Some of the more strongly worded replies to our tweets have encouraged us to go have intercourse with ourselves.

Well...don't mind if we do, because your safest sex partner during the COVID-19 pandemic is yourself.

A thick skin gives you power. The power to gain wisdom from words who's meaning has been stolen by ignorance Listen to voices that offend. Hear emotions, the pain and rewards surrounding people. We put limits on the wisdom necessary to positively influence others when we censor.
