Canadians, #Gander officially launches on #CanadaDay. It is truly nicer there. If you haven’t joined during its pre-launch months, let’s see as many of us as possible flock there on July 1. Elbows (and wings) up! 🇨🇦

You’ll find me there:

On #YomHaShoah we remember six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

We said #NeverAgain

As a Jewish Canadian, I received death threats, hate crimes in #Canada. This was traced in 2023. The court dropped it
in 2026

Vaccines save lives.

For those in the USA who are in need of reliable vaccine information, refer to Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunizations. Follow the science.

So long, 2025. Tested the limits of our personal and global resilience in myriad ways. Not a year that many of us will look back on fondly.

Have a safe #NewYearsEve. Wishing everyone a healthy, laughter-filled, calmer year ahead.

Canadians are awesome.

Happy 8th night of Chanukah.
Also, happy solstice.
May we all have more light than darkness from here on.

@MarkJCarney Thank you

11 people in Australia were killed today by gunmen as they celebrated the first night of Chanukah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Targeted because they were Jews. May their memories be a blessing.

We place menorahs in our windows. Message to the world: Light will outlive darkness.

Post-menopausal bleeding is cancer until proven otherwise, and one the 4 most common cancers in women. Listen to White Coat Black Art on Dec 6 at 1:30pm ET to hear me speak with @NightShiftMD about uterine cancer and wait times for gyne surgery in Canada.

Paediatric patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test to complete we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Let that be a reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room and staff to get sick.

I return with a 2025 Covid-19 and flu vaccine clinic for our patients. Jabapalooza, as a patient referred to it in 2021, helped protect more than 20,000 people in Ottawa. I continue to teach medical students to run vaccine clinics, and to demonstrate that family medicine leads.

My final tweet. See you elsewhere.

💥 Au revoir!

Remember that woman chanting "The Final Solution is coming", at Concordia the other day?

Well, turns out she operated a coffee shop at the Jewish General Hospital (!!) in #Montreal, but they have now terminated her franchise agreement!

Bravo to @SecondCupCanada for showing zero tolerance for hate speech! That's how it's done!

[Yoni Freedhoff @YoniFreedhoff]

Insane. The @OCDSB, in adjudicating a complaint about a trustee's alleged antisemitism, revealed that they cannot do so because they do not have a definition of antisemitism. Tell me again how there's no such thing as systemic antisemitism.

President Biden's statement -

"The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas." ...
