@DrPaulaGordon Does @UHN or @imagingtoronto care to weigh in on this issue?

[Dr. Paula Gordon @DrPaulaGordon]

Required reading for academics and philanthropists. University of Toronto is scandalously burying the fact that the study they endorsed was flawed. By not retracting their approval, they continue to contribute to avoidable deaths around the world.

@MarcNixon24 Quadruple the Transmountain pipeline. Much shorter distance than going East. Need to scale export capacity at ports. Existing pipeline route and approvals can surely handle more pipes?!

@ItsDeanBlundell Time to make Canada an energy & resource superpower!

Canada 🇨🇦 doesn’t just need #ElbsUp it need to #pivothard. Neither @MarkJCarney or @PierrePoilievre are the PM Canada needs right now. Both want to just shuffle deck chairs on the Titanic.

@cspotweet How about they scrap downtown parking fees altogether, at least after 5pm. No better way to repulse people from down town than paid parking.

[Dr. Wesley Block, MD PhD @DrWesleyBlock]

@trevortombe I would like to know what @MarkJCarney plans to do to put 🇨🇦 at least back into the middle of the pack for GDP growth per capita for the next decade

An overwhelming majority of Canadians, 79%, want to build pipelines across this country.

Did @GoAHealth just cancel some of all outpatient cataract surgeries in Calgary?

Earlier initiation of screening mammography at age 40 may yield substantial health care savings by reducing the cost of breast cancer treatment. https://t.co/XnigWC7Og2

The CAD is getting close to what many banks predict it’s 2025 low to be… but it will likely go a bit lower. Is it time to move US index investments (in TFSA and RRSP accounts) over to CAD hedged equivalents (given a 20 yr time horizon and switching back later to unhedged)?

[Dr. Wesley Block, MD PhD @DrWesleyBlock]

@MPelletierCIO Absolutely. Dirty tricks telling physicians to save for retirement in their PCs and then hammering them with taxes. Why not uncap RRSP contributions so that anyone can put the same % of their income into RRSPs?

@beulahbeulah68 @densebreastscdn Women with very dense breasts cannot and should not exclusively rely on mammograms but they do have a role. Ultrasound or MRI for supplemental screening is essential. Getting a mammogram is usually the best gateway to supplemental imaging.

@Albertadoctors Can you fact check chem trails next?

[Dr. Wesley Block, MD PhD @DrWesleyBlock]

@Bjwrz Robust primary care AND public health are how we cut long term health care costs.
