“For every leader, diversity is a strength in Canada. Racism is a reality, dismantling racism should be a law. A law of the land that has to stay.” @DrMTByass
“If you put the time & energy to remove racist and colonial structures in Canada all of the other issues would come into place. It all starts with dismantling and tackling systemic racism & colonialism.” @AmyTanMD
“We need the Federal government to create a lower threshold for providing health services to all Canadians. It needs to be legally enforceable." @AlikaMD
When I applied for my latest job I said to them: I know you can hire a more experienced nurse- but With a growing diverse population I can fill the cultural gaps in your hospital- I made everyone go quiet and got the job ✊ #HCinCanada https://t.co/ujuHgQneLS
100% @AlikaMD implicit bias is real and I feel it everyday when applying for different positions I would get offers from lower paying community centres- some places wouldn’t even look at my experienced resume #HCinCanada https://t.co/ujuHgQneLS
Representation matters. On hospital leadership and boards. They have the power to revisit and revise the policies that @DrMTByass mentions - representation is so important. #HCinCanada
