You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Starting today and until U.S. tariffs are removed, Ontario is banning American companies from provincial contracts.

Every year, the Ontario government and its agencies spend $30 billion on procurement, alongside our $200 billion plan to build Ontario. U.S.-based businesses will now lose out on tens of billions of dollars in new revenues. They only have President Trump to blame.

We’re going one step further. We’ll be ripping up the province’s contract with Starlink. Ontario won’t do business with people hellbent on destroying our economy.

Canada didn't start this fight with the U.S., but you better believe we're ready to win it.

You really sparked a conversation @jflier, comments show the opposing points of view pretty well.

Best advice from my program director at @usask as a resident was that an MDs impact must be rooted in being clinically excellent.

12 years of rural practice has taught me however that folks who don’t see and address the inequitable circumstances that patients experience due to geography, socioeconomic status, racism, sexism, ableism, language, trauma, being labelled a problem patient, among many others are:

- at best, achieving less excellent care than they could

- at worst, being really crappy clinicians who cause harm with or without realizing it

Case in point, surgical teams who discharge patients post surgery to places where there’s no running water and instruct them to keep their wounds clean.

We have to find a way to do both, but you can’t be an excellent clinician without seeing and mitigating your patients life circumstances as best you can.

Imagine a lot of folks pick this up if they find good clinical mentors, but may have never framed it as an outcome of equity, diversity and inclusion.

I’ll miss the long dash too - but it was never at 1pm. (Alberta)

I'll sure miss the long dash.

I lost a family member to ALS and I know first hand what incredible determination you and your family have to “Improvise and Overcome”. Well done Chris & family.

[Chris Snow @ChrisSnowCGY]

I did today what the doctor suggested 4 years ago on this day. Watched my son’s Little League playoff game. Listened to a podcast while lying in the sun. Worked on my laptop, Cut the grass. That is, I did what brings me joy. Year 4 living with #ALS cut that list down. A lot. 1/3

I assumed the anger on my timeline over Canada’s new passport was overblown but it’s not. This is outrageous.

It’s so big.

Who approved this.

[Chris Carvalho @chrisjcarvalho]

Thank you @bchimss for giving me the opportunity to lead the discussion on the enabling innovation. I had so much fun with the panel and appreciate how open and honest the discussion was! This demonstrates the true value of the public-private-academic partnerships!

In budget 2023, Alberta's government is proposing to invest over $2 billion to strengthen the province's primary health care system - the most ever in Alberta's history. Modernizing the health care system will stabilize and strengthen primary health care across the province.

This deserves a retweet.

I have a 9-year old pal with special needs who loves his truck. But it has stopped working and they don’t make them anymore. Anyone have one they would be willing to part with to make him happy?
