It blows my mind that while our healthcare system is collapsing, the Ontario government is paying millions of dollars to private, for-profit agencies to provide temporary nursing...instead of just paying all nurses what they deserve, so Ontarians can get the care they deserve.

I’m glad to be part of a growing group of medical staff and learners taking a deeper dive on anti-Asian racism in healthcare. Well timed release of our thoughts in @BMJLeader, after receiving hateful and racist comments in the past week due to protests in Ottawa. #AntiRacism – at Ottawa, Ontario

Today is literally the anniversary of the Quebec mosque shooting, a day when we should all be thinking about how to stop Islamophobia & hate. Instead, you've got Confederate flags. You've got Swastikas. You've got politicians literally supporting this on Parliament Hill. Shame!

In response to Indigenous land rights movements, O'Toole committed to making it illegal to participate in infrastructure blockades, introduce legislation outlawing them all together, and removing charitable status from groups that support those actions.

Over the last two months I've read dozens of studies about gas stoves and indoor air quality.
I also installed monitors in our home and ran my own tests.
Here's a thread on what I learned 🧵 #energytwitter

We're now 2 yrs into the decisive decade. Emissions should be in an unprecedented fall, instead we're seeing the 2nd biggest rise ever recorded. We're wasting invaluable time pretending we can solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis. World leaders are still in denial.

The "I have been so careful but I still got covid" posts are a symptom of a society that was told that staying safe was within their control.
Except it never was. These are systems-level problems!

Whoa! My friend @jvipondmd is a key source of evidence-based information on #covid19 & a #healthyclimate.
His account has been suspended after targeting by troll groups pretending to be him.
@xcanada @premiumbusiness please fix this.

Need to get this fixed asap @TwitterSupport - and get Joe verified.
Suspending @jvipondmd is an outrage. No one has done more to save lives in Alberta than him. This is coordinated activity and is a massive reason this sector needs regulation and the unmasking of anonymous troll accounts. Anyone have a connection to @TwitterSupport to fix this?
