Reminded of this post today. @CMA_Docs has finally apologized for its role in the healthcare harm First Nations, Inuit and Metis Peoples experienced historically and today.
Apologies are a promise of what might yet be, the future still needs creating.
Lets get to work.

This right here. We need to move out of the basement of Black women not dying as the narrative and move on Black women having the inherent right to thrive in pregnancy. Justice and Joy. No less.
Congratulations @cblackst for all the work you do for future generations, undoing hundreds of years of colonial genocide with love, kindness,and determination. You are an okicitawskwew - warrior woman ❤️❤️❤️
The path to a formal apology to Indigenous Peoples, informed by an honest examination of the CMA’s history, will require many uncomfortable and painful conversations. We hope through this process the CMA and the medical profession can go through necessary transformation and come closer to reconciliation.

Please read my new essay in @TheLancet — When dignity meets evidence: https://t.co/ZWdfJEKlwl
There's a kind of knowledge practice we may call 'dignity-based practice'. It respects the dignity of marginalised knowers. It's been slow to take off, unlike 'evidence-based practice'.

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
Great article! @paimadhu @missanabeem Covering crises in low-income nations purely with statistics and numbers can often dehumanize the people who are most impacted. It reduces them to disease carriers and victims, depriving them of the agency, empathy and dignity they deserve »
