HCWs need easy and free access to vaccines. Without the vaccine, there is greater risk that they will pick up Covid or the flu and pass it on to a vulnerable resident.

“From 1981 to 2015, there were an average of 18 smoke hours per year in the city of Calgary. No year had over 100. Now we see hundreds of smoke hours routinely: 315 in 2017, 450 in 2018, 439 in 2021, 512 in 2023, and 2024 was ‘only’ 200.”

It’s really disappointing. The smoke has so many layers of bad - the health impacts, the reminder of the reality of climate change and the overarching reminder that the order we create out of nature is fundamentally so fragile - nature always bats last. And so few seem fussed.

We’re seeing a huge increase in interest of U.S. medical graduates exploring options to practise in Canada. Recruiting doctors and health care workers need to be a priority, on a national level. www.cma.ca/about-us/wha...

😂😂😂Yooooooo they figured out that global warming is gonna be worse than we thought and in response they are “examining how to maintain profits” like seriously we are so screwed

it's as if we have an unhealthy dependence on O&G revenue

This is real. Trump appears to be suggesting his tariffs on Canada will result in fentanyl dealers getting dinged at customs.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

val kilmer’s turn in TOP SECRET is one of the single best comedy performances ever committed to film, both in terms of comic precision and mechanical virtuosity. just watch this whole clip in its entirety; it’s stunning

Can confirm that admitting teams have been begging for supports to expand capacity and allow 4 safe care for years. Without it docs have left and fewer admitting teams result. Those teams have safety limits as well. The Frontline HCW is doing their best. We need execs to come, see, listen & act.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

Is this normal? I mean, journalistically.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Remember that the entirety of wokeness is a belief that everyone belongs. That's it. That no one should be discriminated against for being a woman, being Black or racialized, being Indigenous, being disabled, or being 2SLGBTQIA+. The only thing crazy about wokeness is that some disagree.

Every time the CBC does something stupid, you'll hear even progressives calling for it to be defunded. But as someone who grew up in rurally, I can tell you that venture-capitalist-owned media is not going to small towns. They don't see money? They don't see value. The CBC is an essential service.

Great news.

Great news.

Pink Shirt Day is about more than being kind. It’s about speaking out against bullying. It’s about standing up to homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, racism, and all hate. It’s about demanding better from yourself and others. And it should remind us that one day isn’t good enough. 👚🩷

Premier Danielle Smith said the province have been giving additional billions to Alberta Health Services but AHS isn't doing more surgeries. But when looking at the government's chart, total surgeries are up from Nov. 2021 to Nov. 2024, but CFS surgeries are down
