Now that trikafta is publicly funded across Canada, the next step is making it accessibly available #trikaftatoday #cfcantwait

Mental health check-ins should be equally as important as dentist check ups. #MentalHealthMatters

Seeking mental healthcare to help you care for yourself and show up for your patients should never ever be stigmatized, full stop. #mentalhealth #healthcareworkers

This is an incredible initiative that breaks down the usual siloes between hospitals and communities, social supports and health, acute care and upstream prevention, and so many others…yesterday was both a literal and metaphorical groundbreaking.

We expose Canada’s broken home care system that's failing families and workers. Plus, we travel to Denmark to show a better, more dignified and more affordable way.

👉 Watch our investigation Friday at 8 p.m. on @CBC-TV 📺 and stream on @CBCGem 💻📱

Seeing yourself in a story is not only relatable but can be life changing and saving. Representation matters.

[1/3] A personal thread about book banning. I'm a happily married gay guy now, but when I was in high school, I thought about suicide *all the time* because I was bullied nearly every day - not just called names, but spat upon and beaten.

@CCRW @Laurier Looking forward to it!

[Emily McIntyre 🇨🇦 @EmMcIntyre46]

@bethdenniss He is incredible!

@LouiseHirte Wow, lovely to hear how you are supporting us.

This issue is huge to consider.

Suppose someone develops long COVID symptoms but never got a PCR positive?

Will employers, insurance companies be lenient? How quickly will we start saying “well there’s no proof that was COVID-19”?

#ODSP fail. Son needs #wheelchair repairs that require ODSP 'work order.' Called worker Dec. 8. Message said 'this mailbox is not monitored' + 2 call main line. Main line = 5 minute voice mail. At end, option for w/c repairs. Left 3 detailed messages. No response. No work order.
