I tweet about things that matter to me - mostly animals and the natural world.

This is how a plant breathes

I ran a half marathon this past weekend. I feel quite honored to work as a cardiologist and use my training for the benefit of others, but I never expected those skills to be needed in this manner outside of work.

Inside an Ottawa children's hospital battling against rising RSV, COVID-19, flu cases. This episode, produced with loving care by @word0mouth is very revealing and worth your time. https://t.co/1WQIsV6zSu

Once farmland is paved over, it’s gone forever. Help protect local, fresh, home grown food in Ontario before it’s too late.

A word on the idiocy known as "immunity debt". How did such a nonsensical idea take hold?

Simple. The obvious mental model for our immune system is a muscle: use it or lose it. Muscles atrophy when we don't use them. The same mental model works for our memories & skills.

I am not an Ontarian, or a teacher, or an education assistant, but I have a perspective on the Ford government’s “Keeping Students in Schools Act”. I was Minister of Education in Alberta for 7 years, including the time the Charter was developed and enacted. #onted #onpoli

As an Albertan, I grew up thinking that Liberals hated Alberta, I hated Ontario, and the horror that Ottawa had visited upon our beautiful province. I admired Preston Manning (The guy who created the party that would become the CPC). Then I met a Political Science Prof at MRU

We’ve lost the plot folks.

Thank you @PnPCBC and @DavidWCochrane for bringing attention to the collapse of #healthcare in Canada.

My son's school is doing Jump Rope for Heart again this year to raise funds for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. A friend had a serious stroke at 49 & survived. Please chip in a few bucks before June 17. It all helps. https://t.co/t227ImOSdq

Re-electing the Ford government comes with real consequences. For example, they plan to spend $10 billion on Highway 413 through the Greenbelt, impacting watersheds, species at risk & destroying some of our region’s remaining prime agricultural land. We’ll never get that back.
