As AI transforms health care around the world, who will shape its future? And who will govern the data behind it? 🤖🩺

In a new Globe and Mail opinion piece co-authored by Dr. Kumanan Wilson of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine and @bruyerehealth, Canada is called on to help lead a trusted health AI ecosystem through collaboration with other middle powers. 🌍

This strategic vision aligns with the University of Ottawa’s new interdisciplinary HALO initiative, Health AI and Law in Ottawa, which brings together expertise in health AI, data, law, policy, and governance to help position Canada as a global leader in health AI and strengthen the future of health care.💡

Deforestation facts:
🦜 137 species/day extinct
🌍 12% of global CO₂ emissions
💧 100+ gallons of water loss per tree
⛰️ 24 billion tonnes of soil lost yearly
👥 50 million indigenous people at risk
Forests = our life support. Don't let them disappear.

Our record-setting $6.4 billion investment in postsecondary education is strengthening the sector and creating more opportunity for students across Ontario.

Today, alongside MPP @GeorgesDarouze, we highlighted the more than $663 million in funding for institutions in the Ottawa region.

We're expanding access to the programs students want, while developing the talent pipeline our economy needs to compete on the world stage and protect our economic advantage.

One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for 2-4 people daily. Forests act as giant air purifiers—absorbing CO₂, pollutants, and particulates—delivering cleaner air that reduces respiratory diseases and supports every cell in your body.

Breathe better. Thank a forest. 🌬️

[Mountain Cabins @cabinsmountain]

Trees don't just give shade… they cool entire cities.

The difference between a city full of concrete and one full of trees can literally be felt on your skin.

While roads and buildings soak up heat all day, trees work like giant natural air conditioners — blocking sunlight, releasing moisture, improving airflow, and reducing the "urban heat island" effect.

That's why areas with no trees can reach 45°C (113°F) or even 50°C (122°F), while tree-lined streets feel much cooler.

And the benefits go beyond temperature. Green spaces reduce stress, improve mental health, clean the air, and attract birds and pollinators.

Imagine a city where there are more trees than concrete. Where you hear birds, not just traffic. Where kids can play in natural shade.
Planting a tree may seem small… but one tree can completely change a street, a neighborhood, or a whole city.

Every tree planted today gives shade, oxygen, and cool air to someone tomorrow.

Nature isn't decoration… it's part of the answer to the heat we're living through.

When a city loses its trees… it loses life too.

El efecto de un solo árbol en la calle es equivalente a cinco aires acondicionados del tamaño de una habitación funcionando 20 horas al día. Si nuestra ciudad se llenara de calles como esta la vida en verano sería mucho más agradable.

A single 400-year-old ancient oak produces 234,000 litres of oxygen a year while soaking up carbon dioxide, and can support more than 2,000 species of bird, insect, fungus, and lichen.
