The problems w/ using AI for health info are obvious. But it's important to understand *why* people do. One group: women w/ complex illnesses who can't get answers from doctors. "Is it a good thing to be depending on A.I. for medical advice? I don’t think so," one told me. But docs didn't help her.

Health care workers are the backbone of the health system. But planning for the right care in the right place at the right time remains fragmented – both across professions and across provinces and territories. That’s why Canada needs a national, integrated health workforce plan. Read more 👇

A girls school in Iran had a website filled with photos of students at work and play. Then, on the first day of the war, it was destroyed. New evidence suggests American forces may have relied on outdated targeting data reut.rs/4lrIbby

I'm sure Emperor Trump's response will be one of empathy and remorse.

The CMA congratulates Past-President, Dr. Joss Reimer (@jossreimer.bsky.social) on being named Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. We look forward to working with you in your new role to support the health of Canadians. Statement ⬇️

Very cool look at how doctors build solutions to improve care.

I imagine that John’s return will see him simply staring directly into the camera, not saying a word. Perhaps a face or neck twitch here and there. I worry that 2026 may have already broken him. I hope I am wrong.

Someday, historians will look back and marvel at how stupidly easy it was for one demented sociopath to take the world's most powerful democratic country by the throat and burn everything in or around it to the ground while we all just sat around and watched.

“There were bullets where mercy should have stood.”

Doctors across Canada stand in solidarity with the @cfnu.bsky.social and our nursing colleagues as they grieve Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis nurse who was senselessly killed Saturday by U.S. ICE agents. The death of one of our own fills us with anger and disbelief. Our statement ⬇️

It's extremely normal when your local media is doing a "Identify the gas canister the federal governments militia threw at you" piece.

One reason Rob Reiner’s death was so shocking is that he was a living embodiment of a gentle, righteous, kind humanity. Trump’s reaction, meanwhile, was an embodiment of his inhumanity, vile as it is. We all get to choose which one we would want to be. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

From battling misinformation to uniting as a country and preserving public health: this was a challenging year for health care — both in Canada and around the world. Here’s what we learned from 2025, and how we can move forward to ensure a stronger year ahead.

Rob Reiner’s response to the murder of Charlie Kirk. Compare this to Trump’s vile post about the deaths of Rob and his wife, Michele.

OPINION | When fascism came to America in 2025, it wore a red baseball cap and carried an AR-15 by @shannongormley.bsky.social @thestar.com

The CMA is encouraged that the Quebec government and @fmoq.bsky.social have reached a tentative agreement to suspend Bill 2. It’s important that politicians work with physicians to implement known solutions to improve access to care. We’ll continue to support Quebec doctors as they assess the deal.

Andrew Tate has been under criminal investigation in Romania since 2022, accused of trafficking women into pornography and rape. Trump administration officials’ support for him and his brother played a crucial role in their release from Romania this year, a New York Times investigation found.

‘This is the Alberta government saying that the rights of trans kids to receive life-saving health care, go by their own pronouns at school or play on sport teams don’t matter as much as the Smith government’s right to dictate their lives.’ By @melwoods.me thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

"When we live with low self-esteem, there’s often a gap between how we see ourselves and how others see us. Compliments highlight that gap, and instead of feeling good, it can feel uncomfortable."

The CMA is deeply disappointed that the Alberta government has invoked the notwithstanding clause to interfere in the clinical care of patients. Our statement ⬇️ https://bit.ly/4i3bOxY

Doctors across Canada are deeply concerned that the #Alberta government’s proposed private care plan will leave more Albertans waiting even longer to access health care. The CMA is calling on the government to reconsider this proposal, and focus on known solutions to support public health care.

The CMA is disappointed and deeply concerned that Canada has lost its #measles elimination status from the Pan American Health Organization. We echo the Public Health Agency of Canada: the measles vaccine is the best way to protect you and your family. Let's work together to keep measles at bay.

We’re pleased the federal government listened to health care providers and patients to maintain planned health spending increases in Budget 2025 with a commitment to invest $5 billion in health infrastructure 🧵👇

Health ministers missed an opportunity this week to deliver real solutions to improve #AccessToCare. The CMA urged governments to reduce barriers for doctors and support health workers across Canada. Canadians deserve better. Our statement 👇
