Canadians who think a private tier of healthcare is a great thing, this is what you are bringing us. You are also bringing us a host of insurance companies who will fight tooth and nail to not pay any of this. (Ask any American) Let’s not go this route

Here’s the cost of a heart attack and its resulting surgery. PS- This does NOT include charges from either doctor, the helicopter emergency evacuation, six weeks of cardiac rehab, or three months of lost wages.

It’s past time to start asking why colorectal cancer is increasing in young people? It’s also past time to regulate #asbestos in Canadian water. @PreventCancerNw @ElizabethMay @SenatorHYussuff

Again, calling on all family physicians to realize that colorectal cancer is on the rise in younger people. Please please please do not dismiss cancer symptoms in those under 50.

Please consider filling out this survey if you or a loved one has cancer. It will help us understand how many people were told about biomarkers - the mutations that drive a cancer. Biomarkers can really help determine the best treatments survivornet.ca/participate/c…

Republicans in Congress got their hands on Jeffrey Epstein’s flight manifest. Fox News & Newsmax were running the story 24x7 before it was released. Why did the conservative news and MAGA Republicans go silent about this story when they finally got their hands on it?
