@glenpyle They just need a mud loving Golden Retriever playing with them.

@Kidsdoc1Rick So sweet!

@Nora1968 @CraigBaird Was just about to write the same as you. My mother’s family settled in western Que. from Ireland in then mid 1800s, and every Christmas she made tourtiere. I was grown up before I realized it was french.

"I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."

@MarkGerretsen @PierrePoilievre Poilievre's current shadow finance critic has a high school education and one year course of economics qualifying him to be a basic bookkeeper. Poilievre and Trump put unqualified people into positions of power knowing they will be able to control them completely.

[Mark Gerretsen 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @MarkGerretsen]

As y’all react to Trump’s cabinet picks, let’s take a moment to consider the options @PierrePoilievre would have in his caucus to fill the same positions. Suddenly the nightmare feels much more close to home.

A final reminder to parents,…..

Your dreams may not be your children’s dreams.

Becoming a pro athlete or a 7 figure per year professional happens infrequently.

Rejoice, rather, in their self directed fulfillments, their interests, their joy.

It’s about them.

As we ponder the results of the US elections, let's remember we have a PM who faced Trump in his first stint and negotiated a New NAFTA deal anyway.

Experience counts now more than ever.

Deepest condolences to the family, and to all who knew, the Honorable Murray Sinclair, who passed on 4 November. He did so much good in the life he lived, and we have all benefited from his great works of service. RIP

@Kidsdoc1Rick Oh my. A fresh look for Nov.

Patients and families define an emergency and if you need the ER - by all means, seek care. As an experienced ER doctor I condemn the reckless statements made today by Ontario Premier Ford. ⁦@fordnation⁩ ⁦@SylviaJonesMPP⁩

Does icing an injury help? Not much. And it may hurt.

Study: Cryotherapy for treating soft tissue injuries in sport medicine https://t.co/o3dzqTsPlJ

"...no human study demonstrating the healing effect of cryotherapy..."

"...animal studies suggest that cryotherapy may impair and delay muscle regeneration..."

"...cryotherapy may compromise long-term tendon healing and mechanical integrity..."

"...offers short-term pain relief..."

@EM_RESUS Have more defibrillators available in more public buildings.

[Maggie McGovern @MaggieMcGovern]

@Kidsdoc1Rick I hope that they have help at home.

[Maggie McGovern @MaggieMcGovern]

@MaryFernando_ But that doesn’t stop me from speaking out to their comments. I’m not shocked because sadly it is so common, but I feel sorry for them. They must carry so much intolerance on their shoulders.

[Maggie McGovern @MaggieMcGovern]

@MaryFernando_ I am past being shocked.

[Maggie McGovern @MaggieMcGovern]

@MaryFernando_ Yes, it is always simmering just below the surface. I could fill pages with remarks that have been said about my biracial kids, and now grandchildren over the years.

[Maggie McGovern @MaggieMcGovern]

@moskstef @jm_mcgrath @bruce_arthur But, you didn’t mention that the majority of homes along Terreborne have garages and driveways. It is a wonderful path by bike to Concordia U.

@glenpyle @RabinovichInna @LAK674 With so many women now in medicine, I have seen that grow in my lifetime, and I wonder why we, as women are still not equal for research dollars. 🤨 I can answer that myself. I hope for my three granddaughters that will improve.

[Maggie McGovern @MaggieMcGovern]

@glenpyle @RabinovichInna @LAK674 For me at 77 that is good to know. 👵 I have always had an interest in knowing why this happened to me, out of the blue. Thanks for your response.
