An excellent interview of one of Canada’s great writers. Do read the book; you won’t be disappointed. #HeroHaters #thrillers #KenMacQueen ⁦@kmqyvr⁩ https://t.co/pOWjwzp60s

@SamJoyceBooks @DrAmandaSelk @RBC Oh no that’s a disgrace

[Patricia Graham @patriciagraham]

On hold for @RBC fraud for an hour 40 & counting. Unconscionable.

[Patricia Graham @patriciagraham]

@RBC fraud: 2 hours 33 minutes to get through. What’s going on with their card security?

[Brian Day @DrBrianDay]

Politics and politicians consider their ideology more important than the health of patients. The system has imploded. Time for real action, not patchwork stop gap responses that achieve little as patients continue to suffer, deteriorate and even die.

@DrAmandaSelk @SinaiHealth @WCHospital @UHN Belated congrats Amanda!

[Patricia Graham @patriciagraham]

@Thuncher You are a great choice! Congratulations and please feel confident in your worthiness.

@DrAmandaSelk Sadly some did lose their minds. I recall some very unhappy housewives living in our neighbourhood. A couple were alcoholics and one had a “nervous breakdown”.

[Patricia Graham @patriciagraham]

@drgraham12 I could do that job

Comparing Canada's COVID deaths in 2021 and 2022 for the first four months:

January-April 2021: 8,401 deaths

January-April 2022: 8,716 deaths

I know we all want to be done with COVID...but sadly, COVID isn't done with us.

The Canadian health system that governments created, endorse, and refuse to reform - “Catastrophic” - time to learn from and emulate the best systems in the world. ⁦@globalnews⁩ https://t.co/D6tln1vcpD

As Preston Manning’s campaign director in 1993 I was with him in crowds such as we see now (incl rural and suburban Ontario and Maritimes). While people poked fun at age, gender, demographic mix…we went from one seat to 52. A mistake to discount the energy out there.

@themarkhume Sorry for your loss Mark. As noted already, your dad was a journalistic legend. You must be so proud of him.

[Patricia Graham @patriciagraham]

So much fear and anger over the notion of changing our health care system. But until we do access problems will only worsen and many thousands more will die unnecessarily

[Patricia Graham @patriciagraham]

No different here in BC. Why the hell do we keep doing this?

[Ed Tubb @EdTubb]

1/n PHO has a new risk assessment on the spread of the current BA. 2 wave.

Among other things it says:

- The wave is associated with lifting mask mandates
- We're likely to see ++ serious illness in children
- Reintroducing masking would be an effective + practical intervention

[Kieran McIntyre @kpmcinty]

The answer. You don’t. I’m oncall and despite following all the rules cannot get eligible patients into drug. The amount of work required is significant. https://t.co/I4UlQitCtK
