Support the Survivor Challenge team on their relentless drive to help their patients. They will be covering 850 km over 7 days and climbing a heart-pounding 19,000 metres in total. That means climbs of more than 2,500 metres a day.

How many more people would cycle if your city’s streets were this inviting?

How many would leave their cars at home if their choice was made this easy?

Don't design streets that make the 5% already biking marginally safer. Build them to entice the other 95% back on their bikes.

In a scathing editorial, the @globeandmail compares the swift reaction to airline deaths to the lack of action for the slower but just as deadly rate of pedestrian fatalities in Toronto. #walkTO

😲THIS - IS - INSANE👇🏽During the same week that New Zealand swiftly acted to ban assault weapons after their 1st mass-shooting terrorist attack, here in AMERICA, police were having MOCK EXECUTIONS of teachers like they were playing a fucking video game. WHAT IS WRONG WITH US? 😩

[Najma Ahmed @najmadoc]

The proliferation of guns results in preventable harm, injury and death. This is a public health issue and needs a public solution. Guns are the vector #ThisisOurLane, @Docs4GunControl

[Eileen Bulger @bulgercot]

Great talk by @tzakrison on Intimate Partner Violence, Structural violence, Cultural violence We must address these larger issues a part of the public health approach to injury prevention @georgiatrauma @ACSTrauma

Gary Cohn says he tried to explain to Trump that there are many more people employed installing solar panels than there are working in the coal industry. The lesson didn't take. https://t.co/0hE1KmSK5m

@TechNurseJon @SMHcriticalcare Happy to meet

[Eileen Bulger @bulgercot]

Research for traumatic injury is the most underfunded public health problem relative to the impact on society, we need an NIH Institute for Trauma Research @ACSTrauma @traumadoctors @EAST_TRAUMA @NTIResearch @CoalitionNTR @PediTraumaSoc

So org wants to address sexual harassment in Healthcare...3.9 mil nurses in US and <1 mil physicians and advisory board has....6 physicians and 3 nurses. No OTs, PTs nor Pharms.

You cannot employ the same tactics that built a culture to change it. #TIMESUPHC

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

I’ve used an app that detects % male vs female voices speaking in meetings. I put it out on the table at faculty meeting. Generally 80% of the time men were speaking. (Much of the rest was me speaking on principle to break up the solid 100%) It’s real life, not just a script.

[Dave Paskar @davepaskarMD]

What doctors are doing is called dialogue and advocacy, and it’s part of free speech. To try to report this as professional misconduct is laughable and is anti free speech, which is ironic, because gun crowd will play the free speech card at the drop of a hat on a host of issues.

[Senator Colin Deacon 🇨🇦🇺🇦 @colindeacon]

Powerful evidence-based testimony from @najmadoc (the ER doc from the Danforth shooting) citing Canada’s gun homicide rate at 8x that of Australia, Japan, UK & Netherlands, and @SickKidsNews study showing an average of one child is harmed by a firearm every day in Ontario. #SenCA

80% of the human genome responds to the insult of getting hit by a cement truck! Mostly downregulation, mostly in innate immunity #CCC48
