If your social media feed looks anything like ours, you’re seeing a high volume of devastating news coverage. It is a *lot* to process, and to be honest, overwhelming. Some of you may be struggling to cope.
Please take time today to check in on a friend. Take care of each other.
Canadians have the right to protest, to disagree with their government, and to make their voices heard. We’ll always protect that right. But let’s be clear: They don’t have the right to blockade our economy, or our democracy, or our fellow citizens’ daily lives. It has to stop.
I don’t feel controlled by government when I wear a mask or get #COVID19Vaccine any more than I do wearing a seatbelt, deciding not to drink & drive or stopping at red light. I am vaccinated bc I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. The common good matters.

The longer you practice medicine, the more faces never leave you. The more memories linger.
“What did it take?”
Nothing at all.
Time.
Every last thing.
This is how you build bridges and work together to improve our care as opposed to what we’ve seen before.

I am an EM/PEM physician. My wife is an EM/Palliative Care physician.
We've followed #COVID19 vaccine data closely, & reviewed Pfizer's safety & efficacy data in ages 5-11 thoroughly.
We WILL vaccinate our 8 & 11 year olds with confidence. THANK YOU, science - we are SO grateful.
