When a tree dies, it continues to nourish the ecosystem: seedlings and fungi networks grow on these fallen logs. But when companies spray #glyphosate over logged areas they kill this #biodiversity.

We need to end glyphosate us -- take action today 🔽

“But the smoke that fills the air should also remind us that it is imperative that we act to slow climate change, which, future pandemics notwithstanding, remains the world’s single greatest public-health challenge.”

So honoured to have received the Lieutenant Governor of Québec's Youth Medal in recognition of my social impacts during medical school @McGillMed. I'm thankful to @mcgillu for nominating me for this award and looking forward to continue serving Quebecers as a resident physician.

I’m a medical student in Alberta.

Not a single one of my classmates are international students.

85% of my class is explicitly comprised of people from Alberta.

If there is a doctor shortage, it’s because Alberta trained grads don’t want to work under a morally bankrupt gov.

Disappointing that climate has not been a bigger issue #AbElection2023 , especially given our wildfire disaster & its health toll. In an Op-Ed for @NatObserver, @DrKarinaPillay & I urge you to #voteforyourhealth! https://t.co/mCyI8dJn1Q @cape_ab @CAPE_ACME

[CAPE Alberta @cape_ab]

#Albertans want to protect our land, air and water, and this election, that message must be sent loud and clear: as health-care providers, we ask that you #VoteForYourHealth by choosing candidates who understand that nature is health.

Currently in Calgary and I can say my throat and lungs are burning almost as much as my climate anxiety

The sun looks red and it smells of smoke in the cardiac cath lab today. A reminder that clean air is health care! See our @CAPE_ACME @cape_ab Op Ed here:https://t.co/vVwZ8m339i #voteforyourhealth

Yesterday I was asked: “what are the 5 things you think everyone needs to know?”

So, I thought I’d share them here too:

1. This chart from the IPCC 6th Assessment Synthesis report, released this week, shows just how far away we are from limiting warming to below 2C: (1/11)

[@CAPE-ACME @CAPE_ACME]

"CAPE’s submissions before the court will argue that inclusion of GHGs and climate change in the federal impact assessment process and public interest decision-making is clearly within federal jurisdiction and that the act is constitutional." #Climate
