B.C has a new cancer initiative — they are sending thousands of patients to the U.S. to deal with backlog at home. I had a chance to speak with @AndreaWoo about this for my first episode as a summer podcast producer with the @globeandmail. https://t.co/iYYkaG3t62

For the @globeandmail I highlighted the amazing work of companies part of @femtechcanada and other change-makers in the women's health space who are helping shift narratives.

B.C. experienced its three worst wildfire seasons in just five years. In 2017, 2018, and 2021, with resources stretched thin, some rural and remote residents defied evacuation orders, risking hefty fines and public scoldings from gov to stay behind and protect their properties.

In Iran, the death of a young woman who was arrested by the morality police has set off the most significant outpouring of anger with the ruling system in more than a decade. The diversity of the protesters reflects the breadth of Iranians' grievances. https://t.co/wvaUQahoti
