Yes I’d imagine it’s very easy to hold an election while Israel is still committing an ongoing genocide! Very smart!!🙄 A genocide that, by the way, Canada — through loopholes Anand voted against closing and that Carney demoted an MP for voting to close — continues to arm!
Canada, alongside Australia, France and the United Kingdom, expresses deep regret over the postponement of Palestinian elections until September 2027. Nearly two decades have passed since the last Palestinian Legislative Council elections, leaving an entire generation without the opportunity to elect its representatives. We call on the Palestinian Authority to reconsider this decision and to take the necessary steps to hold legislative and presidential elections, without further delay.

New Op Ed Delaying vaccination when flu season and COVID infections are already spreading is akin to watching the forest fire grow bigger and bigger before deploying firefighters. #bcpoli surreynowleader.com/2026/10/…

The on/off revolving door of mask guidance in health care seems bizarre to me 😷 should be a fixture of patient care, just as gloves & hand hygiene are: not a seasonal precaution, but a fundamental part of our commitment to infection prevention, patient safety, and doing no harm.

How can virtual care better support #LongCOVID patients? Kayli Jamieson launched a new guidebook based on a national survey of 621 people and patient focus groups. It offers recommendations to improve access to virtual care across Canada. #VirtualCare

NEW: We got consent from 7 unhoused people sheltering on Pandora Ave to hide Apple AirTags in their possessions. This is after years of City of Victoria denying allegations that bylaw don't follow their own policies. Now we have proof. Part 1 of 2 ⬇️ defactomedia.ca/bylaw-office…

In the face of a novel pandemic virus transmitted via the airborne route, we politicised respiratory protection rather than normalising it.
Every generation is insane, just blind to it. What will future generations see as our insanity?

If you’re still masking… thank you! It may feel lonely but you’re not alone Many of us are still wearing masks and trying to break chains of transmission As the world falls apart…protecting your health and the health of others is paramount It’s resistance & community care.

Working in the ED in downtown Toronto, here is what I've learned: • A seatbelt is the thin line between walking away from a crash and being wheeled into our trauma bay. • Wearing a helmet is the difference between “that was a nasty fall” and “neurosurgery would like a word.”

.@David_eby: "No Safe Supply!" BC Judge: "...their compassion club reduced the harms associated with the toxic drug crisis." Remember when David Eby fought for civil rights? #BCPoli
Huge news! Charges against Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, founders of Drug User Liberation Front, stayed! Judge found parts of Canada's drug laws are unconstitutional and that their compassion club reduced the harms associated with the toxic drug crisis. cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

The man who strangled & raped me is @NColemanMD. After I confronted him, he changed his name from Nathan Coleman, MD & locked his account. He also masturbates at work while looking at patient radiological images & talking to coworkers. He is actively sliding into DMs. Warn women
Got a neighborhood alert that there was a rape nearby. “Huh, that is really close to where I live.” Clicked it. Oh. My block. OH. That was the rape I reported. It took this long to show up on the public crime statistics. Meanwhile I’m supposed to just keep smiling at work

AT A GLANCE Broken @bcndp promises since 2017: ❌Properly fund classrooms & school equipment ❌Replace portables w classrooms ❌Seismically safe schools ❌Ensure faster access to school & public MH services ❌EAs in every elem. classroom ❌No cuts to funding for Autistic kids
If @Dave_Eby calls a snap elxn, remember: He and @jbtwickens, instead of correcting a decades-long injustice, and lifting up ALL Disabled kids in this province to ensure ALL of them receive equitable direct support, decided to deliberately cut supports to thousands. #BCPoli
