Some people can’t see racism in health care. A Cree teen male went to the ER bc he was unwell. He sat, became delirious & security was called as they felt he was intoxicated. No vital signs were taken. He died 4ish hours later due to septicemia. I reported this. Nothing happened.
A ⭐️small joy⭐️ in #book form: we recently released a new SibKit at @HBKidsHospital, to support kids who have sibs with disabilities, medical complexities, and diagnoses. Please share!

The most effective strategy we have to protect kids is to protect the adults around them. The Children's Health Coalition is calling on @ONgov to urgently prioritize paid sick days and vaccines for essential workers in racialized and low-income hotspots. #KidsInCrisis
#BREAKING: The Ontario government has once again voted against #PaidSickDays.
In total, our government has now voted against paid sick days 21 times since the start of the #COVID19 pandemic.
If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.

Capitol police CAN & DO arrest protestors who breach security at the Capitol. I know, I've been there. Plenty of times. When they know we're coming, they PREPARE for us and PLAN to arrest us. They even prep their zipties in advance. Don't tell me they weren't prepared for today.
***Please share widely!*** We are starting up our Virtual Paperwork Parties again at @HBKidsHospital!

A thread:
My grandmother was admitted to the hospital last week. After admission through the ER, we were told that none of us are eligible to be an essential visitor to her as an inpatient. She received a cancer diagnosis without us in person

"Racism occurs in families, communities, schools, and workplaces across Canada...and some of us have never been able to hide from it.
"Silence perpetuates racism. Don't stay silent."
Pediatrician Dr Kassia Johnson says #WeNeedToTalk#BlackLivesMatter@AutismONT@mch_childrens
#DearEverybody: Help us keep our community healthy and safe! We're calling on those with the capacity to sew to make non-medical masks to donate to our community members who are coming and going to and from the hospital.

.Happy #AutismAcceptance Day ❤️ We are so glad to see Twitter take a stance on supporting the Autistic community by listening. For so long, the icon has been the puzzle piece. The infinity symbol was the chosen symbol of the neurodiverse community.
