@VP Holding my breath today!! After following American politics for 8 years, I say without a doubt that the choice is so clear, on every issue (including immigration and economics!). I just hope that my American friends make the right choice! With love from a Canadian neighbour!
@jgordonboyd Me (at Dad’s bedside during cardio consult): “this pic of his foot looks like he might have had splinter hemorrhages”. Cardio Fellow (with patronizing look and tone): “why do you think that?” Me: (trying to be gracious and expanding the photo) “you can see them here”.

This is devastating news. An entire generation of global health advocates, including me, was challenged and inspired by the writing of Paul Farmer. Here’s a pic from when he visited us in Ottawa a few years ago. Deep sympathy to his whole family.
Thank you @janephilpott for such a beautifully written article calling attention to this critical Kingston resource. The work they have been doing is so needed and is making such a difference.
I wrote about Kingston's Integrated Care Hub. During a period when health system capacity is stretched, the #ICH offers a safe, trusted place to meet important health and social needs. It's an inspiring facility with caring, dedicated staff. #harmreduction https://t.co/pBP6GkVvUn
What a great article!! Healthcare workers have been giving their all…please do your part and make sure you are fully vaccinated and follow guidelines. https://t.co/s4lUPeSSN8
I’m going to miss this guy ! Mike McDonald’s last day at KHSC today - Mike is the epitome of a kind and generous leader - How lucky we have been to have had Mike on our team. Happy and well-deserved retirement to Mike !!
#Omicron is spreading rapidly but boosters are only likely to provide a temporary fix if ~43% of the world have not even had 1 dose. Support for #vaccinequity & #COVAX is key for avoiding a potentially endless cycle of resurgences. My take for @Buzzfeed: https://t.co/Zxkt1IyNB7
What a wonderful way to recognize this important day. Been listening for most of the day, including in person for a while. Thank you so much to all the readers. So painful, but absolutely essential for us to hear so that we can finally, collectively, commit to sustained action.
It’s been 15 hours & we’re still reading strong. @QueensUHealth students reading now, past the 300 page mark of the Final Report of the #TRC & we’re almost done the reading part. Responding to the Calls is the essential work yet to continue. #NDTR Watch at https://t.co/1MZLSWMPbz

This is a big deal. Remember 83% of children in care in SK are Indigenous. It's not because of today's announcement in @cowessessfn that the First Nation has jurisdiction over child welfare. It's an inherent right they are now asserting. Best wishes to Chief @cadmusd & community.
Look at the spiking of new admissions to critical care. 77 yesterday. This has a cascading effect on the entire health system. How can you help? Please #stayhome and get your #vaccine as soon as it’s offered to you.
