Alberta’s UCP just voted to restrict abortion access.
This isn’t fiction - it’s the Handmaid’s Tale creeping into real life.
Reproductive rights are human rights, and they’re under attack.

During Joe Rogan’s podcast on January 9, Mel Gibson promoted drugs that are not scientifically proven cancer treatments. Misinformation on cancer treatment is dangerous, cruel, irresponsible and gives false hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.
Researchers around the world dedicate their lives to uncovering the best cancer treatments. Surgery, radiation and approved cancer drugs like chemotherapy are safe and proven to stop cancer cells from growing and spreading. Choosing to use an alternative therapy can have serious health effects, such as the cancer spreading or getting worse.

On MD workforce, @CIHI_ICIS national data shows:
-MD growth is in specialities ONLY
-NEGATIVE growth in Fam Med
-Age & complexity of patients is 📈
-Rural, northern AB very short on MD per capita
@YourAlberta reporting more MDs coming to AB is ++ misleading.
The crisis is real.
Excited to share that I've joined @UCalgaryArts as an Assistant Professor of Psychology & Chair in Transdisciplinary Digital Mental Health!
The lab will focus on digital innovations for children & AYAs with cancer🎗️
I'll be recruiting a student for Fall 2025, spread the word!

My young #cancer patient refused all treatment. After her death I found out why. The premature loss of a cancer patient is something that is anathema to an oncologist. Could I have done more to change her mind? by @docranjana https://t.co/heyBQR8bmn via @guardian#bioethics
