@SteveSJNB @MarkJCarney Having a medical emergency in one place vs another can be the difference between life and death. .

In THIS INSTANCE, provincial independance is part of the root issue. - FAR too much bureaucracy and ineffiency born out of provincial separation in health care.

@SteveSJNB @MarkJCarney 1/2 This is about healthcare.

The core principles of the Canada Helath act are public administratoon, comprenhensiveness, universality, and accessibility.

@Marielaina3 So you would agree that whatever seats added in Alberta should be granted based on population? I.E in Edmonton and Calgary where 2/5 million of the population resides?
Liberals won the popular vote. Not sure what your goal is

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@SteveSJNB @MarkJCarney Higgs drove what we had further down the shitter. There is some promise with Holt and her government but a federal solution would go a long way not only for NB - ease of transfer of care, better access for remote areas, anonymized databases for research come to mind

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@SteveSJNB @MarkJCarney Don't get me wrong - New-Brunswick can and should implement changes on its own (2 systems for a province with <1mil people?). However, as someone in healthcare, I strongly believe that nationalizing the healthcare system is long overdue.

@DeanJC420 A vote in the maritimes has more "significance" in a similar way a rural vote in Ontario or Alberta does. Canada is large and as rural Alberta has unique challenges requiring , so do the Maritimes.

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@DeanJC420 The population of a province is not a monolith - >2 out of 5 million habitants in Alberta are in Calgary and Edmonton - making 20 out your proposed 50 seats more likely to lean away from conservative.
I agree that the current system is flawed but not in a way that helps the left.

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@SteveSJNB @MarkJCarney As a fellow New-Brunswicker - Do you believe the current state and trajectory of healthcare in NB is satisfactory and meets the needs of its population?

@sticklessOTM fuck yea man

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 I agree with you wholeheartedly on this point! More research needs to be conducted to establish whether these findings have real weight. Could lead to some changes as its done in the past. Interesting discussion but not enough evidence to alter practice at this point.

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 Bait masterclass wow well done truly
I rest my case

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 The current optimal level to attain studied dental health benefits while mitigating risk is around 0.7 mg/L which amounts to 7 grams of fluoride per 10 million grams of water.
When natural local levels exceed that, they don't supplement.
For context - birds shit in our water

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 Good example of how anecdotal + observational data doesn't get the full picture! However I'm not sure any relevant link to our discussion. Have a nice day.

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 Fluoride being benificial to dental health is not what's at question (This is consensus). There are many sources of fluoride and some countries without water fluoridation have salt fluoridation. I agree that we shouldn't get complacent but there are a lot of factors at play.

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 The claim was that an increase of 0.68mg/dL urine concentration is correlated with those risks. Typical water levels are corrected to around 0.7 as needed (and not an exact science linking water to urine) .

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 This claim in the study is a bit misleading - the relative risk of these issues is correlated with spot maternal urine concentrations (which can vary greatly hourly). This reflects overrall intake, not just water (tap water intake was not measured here)

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 You'll be glad to know that the benefits have been the subject of hundreds of studies internationally since the 40s. Too many to link. I agree that we shouldn't get complacent, follow up on potential correlations and adjust accordingly (as has been done in the past)

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 I admire your passion for public safety! However, you might be overestimating the overall risk vs benefit being highlighted here - it's not clear cut. A severe infection in early childhood can have an impact on developement
Infants dont have teeth and so cant have local fluoride

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me! Like you said - we have to be able to stomach recognizing our limitations. I hope you can realize that "all the studies" in fact dont point towards a significant negative effect.
What would be your ideal next step? Full removal?

[Tuff @Tuffenkins]

@attorney_llc @erickson_evin @2021Hawks @AlastairMcA30 @liz_churchill10 I understand your point and agree that discourse is important - but in said discourse you have to take a look at the ALL the available data and draw conclusions (accounting for quality of data), not only look for data supporting your claim.
