#COVID19 disruptions to #tuberculosis care have resulted in the 1st year-on-year increase in global TB deaths since 2005. I urge Canada to #StopTheDeadlyDivide by investing in the tools and mechanisms needed to #EndTB. #Canada4Results @CanadaDev

I facilitated a small group session on the history of anti-Black racism in Canada for #BlackHistoryMonth today and shared some images with the group that demonstrate the internal incoherence of Canadian exceptionalism/American singularity. I reproduce them here 🧵:

To respond to the #COVID19 pandemic, prepare for future threats & recover globally, Canada must increase its International Assistance Envelope by CAD$1.5 billion above the current 2020-21 financial commitments to reach CAD$9 billion in #Budget 2022 #Canada4Results @cafreeland

On World Children’s Day let’s #InvestInNutrition @CanadaDev! We're living through a global malnutrition crisis and children in vulnerable communities are being impacted the most. The time is now to make bold investments in #Nutrition at the #N4G2021 Summit #Canada4Results

I applaud @cafreeland’s commitment to share 20% of Canada’s Special Drawing Rights funds w/ countries in need & urge her to transfer the additional USD$15 billion to strengthen health systems, food security & economic recovery #Canada4Results bit.ly/3kKFHH9
Thank you @CanadaDev for your support for increased TB funding from the @GlobalFund. Today's GF board decision reflects a slight increase for TB, yet is dependent on an ambitious replenishment next year. I am counting on Canada's continued leadership to #EndTB. #Canada4Results

“The worst tragedy(…) is they will do the most harm to the people who have done the least to cause them(…) if we don’t help people in low- and middle-income countries thrive despite the warming that is already under way, the world will lose the fight against extreme poverty.”
Results Australia@RESULTS_AU9 Nov 2021
If the world puts even more effort into innovations that reduce the cost of getting to zero and help the poorest people adapt to #climatechange —then we’ll be able to look back on this summit as an important milestone in avoiding a climate disaster #COP26 gatesnotes.com/Energy/Reflec…

Minister @cafreeland, Canada can boost the global economy by channeling its Special Drawing Rights to developing countries. It will only cost us little but it will make a BIG difference for the world! #Canada4Results resultscanada.ca/share-the-b…

I’m sorry for the culture perpetuated here that made people feel entitled to your body. I’m sorry that we couldn’t interfere sooner. I’m sorry that the university failed to keep you safe. I promise to listen to you, to stand with you, and to be your voice if you need one. 9/10

Despite accounting for the most deaths & having been impacted the worst by #COVID19, TB receives far less $ than AIDS & malaria from the @GlobalFund. Alongside @CanadaDev I support an increase in #TB financing and an in-depth analysis on disease burden. #Canada4Results

Believe survivors, absolutely. But also trust survivors. They are the experts of their own lives, and they do not owe us their stories. Many of the folks impacted this weekend may never come forward publicly– they still deserve support & healing & time. /end

If someone discloses to you, don't try to fix it but hold space for their feelings. Ask them how to best show up for them. Ask them what would be helpful. Don't ask them for details, don't assume they want to formally report. /6

We're celebrating 6-months of @ResultsCda #ResultsFellowship. I am so inspired by the participants who are going above & beyond to generate the political will to end extreme poverty. Join me in celebrating them: bit.ly/JulyFellowshipSpotlig… #Canada4Results

There are widening gaps of inequality being created by COVID-19 between high and low to middle-income countries. Canada must protect those already marginalized because of poverty or gender and take action to #StopTheDeadlyDivide @JustinTrudeau @KarinaGould #Canada4Results

To support a rapid, equitable & safe roll-out of #COVID19 vaccines in low-income countries & prevent future pandemics, Canada must top up its initial investment in @theGFF by CAD$150M which will help build resilient health systems #EndCovidEverywhere #Canada4Results @karinagould

Today I join #voices4RESULTS volunteers around the globe calling on leaders to #FundEducation at the @GPforEducation Summit tomorrow. Canada can & must do more to ensure access to quality education for all #RaiseYourHand @JustinTrudeau @karinagould

The 100th anniversary of the only vaccine against #tuberculosis speaks to the lack of investment for this disease that killed 1.4 million in 2019 alone. To #EndTB Canada must commit the missing US$6 million of its fair share target for TB research spending. @PattyHajdu
