It blows my mind that while our healthcare system is collapsing, the Ontario government is paying millions of dollars to private, for-profit agencies to provide temporary nursing...instead of just paying all nurses what they deserve, so Ontarians can get the care they deserve.

I’m glad to be part of a growing group of medical staff and learners taking a deeper dive on anti-Asian racism in healthcare. Well timed release of our thoughts in @BMJLeader, after receiving hateful and racist comments in the past week due to protests in Ottawa. #AntiRacism

Today is literally the anniversary of the Quebec mosque shooting, a day when we should all be thinking about how to stop Islamophobia & hate. Instead, you've got Confederate flags. You've got Swastikas. You've got politicians literally supporting this on Parliament Hill. Shame!

In response to Indigenous land rights movements, O'Toole committed to making it illegal to participate in infrastructure blockades, introduce legislation outlawing them all together, and removing charitable status from groups that support those actions.

Over the last two months I've read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.

I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.

Here's a thread on what I learned 🧵 #energytwitter

“That's the standard technique of privatization: defund, make sure things don't work, people get angry, you hand it over to private capital.”

— Noam Chomsky

[Greta Thunberg @GretaThunberg]

We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

[Nora Loreto @NoLore]

The "I have been so careful but I still got covid" posts are a symptom of a society that was told that staying safe was within their control.

Except it never was. These are systems-level problems!

Anyone born after 2008 will not be able to buy cigarettes or tobacco products in NZ in their lifetime, under a law expected to be enacted next year.
