Notre sociologue toujours très proche du vrai monde et loin des élites mondialisées dine ici dans une petite cantine modeste avec des ouvriers et des couturières d'une chaîne de montage. On y fabrique la haine et le ressentiment.

Et ben... il semble qu'il y ait des couleuvres que même Steven Guilbeault refuse d'avaler. Ça en dit beaucoup...

We Refuse: Health Workers Against Involuntary Care is now public. @hrna.bsky.social and DSDP are circulating a joint statement opposing BC’s plan to expand involuntary drug treatment. This approach is ineffective, increases overdose risk, violates autonomy, and harms marginalized communities.

What are the predictable effects of Alberta’s "Dual Practice Surgery Model" plan to allow doctors to work in both the public and private sectors? Here’s a map. Pay attention to the feedback loop at the center. That’s a noose for the public system. @alonghurst.bsky.social @lindsayhedden.bsky.social

With Doug Ford's government attempting to shred the last few protections renters have, I figured it was about time to bring back this video I made a few weeks ago! That way we can all laugh (cry) together! youtu.be/Q78KKgo1JQ4?...

I'm increasingly wondering if the Conservatives would have been worse. They would have been absolutely awful for sure. But so is Mark Carney, and to a hard-to-beat level.

This is scary stuff

Allowing doctors to practice in both public and private systems solves precisely two problems that conservative governments would like to fix: (1) barriers preventing the wealthy from line jumping; and (2) barriers preventing doctors from becoming more wealthy. @picardonhealth.bsky.social

The CMA spent a year studying public and private health models and consulting with more than 10,000 Canadians on the balance between the two. The evidence is clear: where a parallel private health system operates, both health outcomes and access to care are worse. Learn more 👇

When I was laid off, I spoke with the others who got the axe with me. We realized we had all had moments where we pushed back in editorial disagreements with our superiors. Turns out a culture of layoffs that targets those who are least deferential to authority has the expected impact.

This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Picard management tip: As soon as you find out that a person is truly toxic, get them the hell off your ship.

Je crois que j’ai atteint ma limite annuelle de photos de docteurs qui posent avec leur tête de « le docteur est très fâché là » pour pleurnicher sur des aspects du PL2 qui, en réalité, se tiennent. Le PL2 a ses vrais problèmes mais la priorisation des patients n’en fait pas partie.

This one has really struck a chord. Every government treated physician supply as someone else’s problem, until it became everyone’s.

@support.bsky.team Sarah Kendzior is first rate analyst and writer. What is happening?

So here's the favour I want to ask: if this post crosses your feed, please take this chance to support the Gitxsan and Gitanyow by watching our latest HGA and passing it on. Help us put Ksi Lisims and PRGT on the map 🙏

For years my guiding principle at work has been: “Don’t be a jerk.” It’s simple but unfortunately not that obvious. But recently, I’ve met people who act like jerks yet truly believe they’re good. Which makes me wonder ... how do any of us know for sure?

J’ai un peu de mal avec le spin médiatique actuel qui présente les médecins du QC comme de pauvres victimes sans pouvoir. Oui, les projets de loi 106 et 2 sont problématiques. Non ils ne vont pas aider. Mais ça ne fait pas des médecins les gens les plus a plaindre sur la planète pour autant.

Cargo biking, 99 years ago. Came across this in a photo archive, unfortunately with no info on who or where, just the year, 1926. But it made me think of @lauragmitchell.com and her lovely feed of her commutes to school and around town with her children.

I guess Canada couldn't be strong as long as the wealthy had to pay a luxury tax on yachts and private planes.

I love Pierre Bourdieu for many things including his contempt for BHL

My best friend told me: "I had heard Mamdani was a Socialist. Then I listened to him in an interview. That's when I realized, 'Damn, I'm a Socialist, too'. Who knew?"

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Les médecins du QC vont ils émigrer? Ben ça se peut ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

Shit. C’est rendu que je suis d’accord avec Antoine Groulx. Quand ça va mal, ça va mal ;-)

Hey BC doctors. It is not ok to charge palliative patients private pay fees for opioid prescriptions. Like, ever. This medication class is essential for quality of life. Changes in dosing are common & essential. Getting to the clinic when you are dying from eg cancer, can be complicated.

For having worked on both bikes and accordions I kinda like that grouping to be honest

Je ne sais pas si j’irai avec détruire mais je suis 💯 d’accord que ça ne va pas améliorer les choses. Y’a beaucoup de choses a améliorer mais la Loi 106 n’est pas la solution

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire. He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify. If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.

I can’t escape thinking that the second affiliation is a poke at @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social which would be totally on point btw.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

The DIY cargo bike now sports front discs. A random piece of flat steel, cut and brazed to the original fork.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists. 50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path. drive.google.com/file/d/1CAk9...

Today, a former Ontario privacy commissioner is calling for an external investigation into why, for a decade, the B.C. government agency denied the data breach, which a fifth estate investigation shows affected 28,000 health-care workers. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

PSA: Ombudsperson offices are the flytraps of institutions. They look like a place for help when the system misbehaves but really, they'll just trap you in endless steps and forms that lead nowhere. Then, like the fly on the glue tape, you’ll end up stuck and exhausted.

Encore une fois, Nimâ qui montre à quoi ça ressemble des principes...

I am demoralized deeper than I have ever been in my profession. Today I learned our district intends to force AI into schools in the new year, and has literally not given one ounce of thought to energy use, water consumption, intellectual property right violation, psychological development, none.

To file under: not all heroes wear capes... Greta Thunberg is such an amazing person.
