Primary care is the foundation of the healthcare system
Like a good building foundation, we forget about it when it’s working well

Thank you to my colleagues who continue to show up for their patients. However, altruism alone will not save our #healthcare system.
CMA President: Canada's Healthcare 'Collapsing' https://t.co/5mCce7yWC3 via @ctvottawa

The fact that having to wait 3h at YYZ is a national crisis but having to wait 8,10 or 16h in the ER isn’t just shows how screwed up our priorities are
Please stop saying people in hotspots are vaccine hesitant. The lineups at clinics & pop-ups all over the GTA are proof: people are vaccine confident. They've just lacked access to vaccines. Why? Because of an inequitable vaccine rollout!
