Powerful lecture on #indigenoushealth tonight by @MarciaJAnderson. Among countless pearls - the idea that anxiety is necessary to provoke change. ‘To do this work in a way that lets people remain comfortable is to do it in a way that preserves the status quo’. #sdoh #meded

Talk about two different worlds: the Prime Minister wore #brownface at a party 19 years ago. And we still have communities fighting for clean water, safe housing, access to a high school education and for basic health care. We still fight for equity. thestar.com/politics/politic…

Dear @globeandmail, @TorontoStar, @CTVNews and @CBCNews I have launched a learning series for Canadians with the hashtag #isitgenocide I think it would be helpful for journalists too. Please follow.

It's important that as a sector, we understand that not all groups and communities define #homelessness the same way.

Our interim report on racial profiling in TPS is out. Black people 20 times more likely to be fatally shot by police but less likely than white victims to have had a gun. Behind the numbers are countless lives damaged. Change has to happen. @OntHumanRights is committed to it.

Great lectures @bdalaval @DianeSmylie @OntarioICS at the @SchulichMedDent Indigenous half-day: we must put critical reflexive lens to colonial institutions and our position as settler healthcare providers. Uncovering unconscious biases/addressing these improves health outcomes.
