This piece by Deveryn Ross in The Brandon Sun is important. I share his surprise that this wasn't a top story for outlets. Ebi Renner is my boss. I've never worked for a more principled, gifted leader. A devastating blow, and a big canary in the mine.

Whoever did this is brilliant.

If you tell a cute story about Supreme Court justices who enjoy do quirky social activity together despite being ideological opponents, it is my legal right to slap a KICK ME sign on your back the next time I see you in public ballsandstrikes.org/legal-culture/…

Poilievre’s “demonizing opponents, intimidating journalists, disrespecting institutions, politicizing the rights of the vulnerable and undermining truth are warning signs for democratic erosion,” writes Christopher Holcroft.

Ah-mazing ❤️

This is wonderful news. Shelagh Rogers will be the new Chancellor at Queen's University. We are blessed indeed. 🥳

'Dr. Bright told me that he would have expected things to be much different during the current administration, but 'this is a live fire test,' he said, 'and right now we are failing it.''

Dr. Eberhard Renner is my boss. Working for him last 5+ years was transformative. Wanted to hear what we thought he might be missing...never wanted sycophants. That's leadership.

A huge loss. And an urgent message at a critical time.

A colleague once observed how surreal it is that doctors can prescribe opiates without a special license - but not so for the medications that treat opiate-use disorder, medications that cut the risk of death by half.

Our medically vulnerable child is transitioning back to school for 1 hr a day. Her Dr. recommends anyone working with her wear a mask. Not one EPA at her school will agree to this for 15 the minutes a day they are scheduled with her! Not one! 1/

Thanks for sharing your personal story, Deveryn Ross. While stats are critical to understanding disease, screening is not academic exercise. Those “numbers” are humans. #cdnpoli

The lack of understanding, even from people in 'health policy', of what constitutes a typical physician's day is ... something

We should always respect patient needs, and yes there are exceptions in the profession who violate the respect principle ...

Shawn F. Gremminger Most jobs can schedule, say, a twenty minute appointment and make it twenty minutes exactly. Doctors can’t do that. In my field, neurology, I could have two twenty minute follow ups in a row that are stable and doing well. Easy peasy, I’m on time.

Or I could discover that…
