Shifting the ways different health professions work in health systems is a reality of healthcare moving forward, driven by the need for patients to have access to care.

How to know if these changes will help in nine tweets, because they may not.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to comment and send me a DM.

I'm overwhelmed.

I won't be able to respond to them all, but know you've been heard and have affected me deeply.

❤️❤️❤️

Today the House honoured the life of Brittany Macnab, a vibrant teacher and avid volunteer. At the request of her Grade 8 class, schools in Meadow Lake honour Brittany’s memory by wearing ribbon skirts, Métis sashes, moccasins, and mukluks. She will be deeply missed.

I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object.

In Ojibwe our words for ‘winter thunder’ are ‘boon nimikiik’ (pronounced boon ni-mi-kiik). Can also mean thunder beings are honouring the winter stories- powerful narratives in Ojibwe cosmology.

Stop wearing these “bunny hugs” there, I just thought I’d translate for the #sask folks who may not understand.

Landon Pearson is a children's rights icon. She mentored me early in my career and gave me language to use in my own advocacy as a youth, sparked a passion & shared with me her resources to move along the work. My thoughts are w her family. A beautiful legacy.

[Devery Jacobs @kdeveryjacobs]

This is a harmful piece of misinformation, @Jeopardy. The RCMP were created to control and assert sovereignty over Indigenous people and our lands — not to protect our communities.

I encourage all to look into the RCMP’s deeply racist past and present.

@PremierScottMoe I feel the same when you come to the Battlefords and ignore the surrounding First Nations, come meet with us in Sweetgrass First Nation @PremierScottMoe

The unfortunate reality of these findings is that there is more to come. The “sad chapter” of Canada’s story is far from being over. 3/3

It is difficult to fathom what survivors are going through right now. Especially those who are just now realizing where their classmates, relatives or friends went while in Residential School1/2

All of Canada needs to stop what they are doing, spare a thought for the child whose jawbone was found on the grounds of the Qu’Appelle Indian Residential School in Lebret, Saskatchewan. Bone is about 125 years old, Sask coroner says. Child was btwn 4 to 6 years. @fsinations

[Dallas Fiddler @FiddlerDallas]

Many of our parents, grandparents, great grandparents never spoke about their experiences and I often wondered why. I understood they faced hardship but I never knew it was to this extent. Maybe them not sharing their stories was a way to prevent us being hurt, sad, or angry. 2/3
