Today we just did the simple things. I think to Iris that must have felt like the best day of her life! Have a lovely Saturday everybody ❤️

When Canada is in the midst of the worst doctor shortage in its history, this doesn’t address this. So unfortunate. #cdnpoli

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day. This day honours the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis who served in the Canadian Armed Forces. They fought for Canada despite being denied rights by the country. This is the story of some of those veterans. 🧵 1/12

Good bye, picture books. My 6-year-old and I just finished reading our first chapter-length book together. THE WILD ROBOT was the perfect introduction to a complex, well-told narrative. It’s been incredible to witness her tiny human brain coming to terms with it all — “a book can be THIS?!”

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

Conservative sources: 'The Conservative whip threatened Jeneroux' vt.tiktok.com/ZSyHa86ML/

I unapologetically judge people by the way they treat animals. #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Again, it was confirmed here that Jeneroux was planning to floor cross to the Libs, was then threatened by the Whip and others, so he decided to resign rather than face the rabid dogs. Poilievre is using "fear" to rule, this won't end well... #cdnpoli

When advocating for vaccines and basic medicine, the backlash on X was extreme. It was a learning curve for me - to protect patients we need to stand up to politics that try to silence us. “Having the freedom to defend science is a privilege” Use it or lose it. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I know the skies used to be filled with birds that are now extinct. I know that change can happen and that it is usually permanent. That is the real status quo. What we do matters. It’s counter intuitive but often inaction leads to change and it takes effort and energy to maintain stasis.

Wow and I thought Ontario was bad 🤯

While I sit in the hospital next to my patients who experience severe depression and suicidal thoughts, I’ll be sure to tell them to eat more steak and eggs. 👍

Dear Canadian Media: Maybe ‘focus’ on the budget as an investment in SAVING OUR SOVEREIGNTY and not a ‘pearl clutching deficit’…..can you EVER try to support Canada?

We seem to be living in a post truth world where experts are decried as morons and the idiots have taken the stage. The internet should have made people smarter but in fact, it is useful tool for brainwashing and dumbing down the masses.

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said.. “I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons” More celebrities need to speak out like this.

Couldn’t agree more❤️. Tall poppy syndrome raises its ignorant Canadian head once again🇨🇦🙄. We acknowledge competence, we just try to smother it in the cradle every time it emerges. Here’s to a national shift to thinking/acting in the long-term interests of this wonderful country🇨🇦. The world needs us.

Curious how many expert armchair economists have emerged suggesting that Prime Minister Carney’s investments in Canadian workers won’t help Canadian workers. It’s not even 10 a.m. and I’m exhausted by the spin. #CanadaStrong

While Poilievre wants to turn back the clock, ending birthright citizenship + women’s rights and focusing on making a deal with Trump, Prime Minister Carney is increasing Canada’s trade with other countries, using 🇨🇦resources and talent. We can’t go backwards. #CanadaStrong youtu.be/wV-G1haFMMw

Canada has what the world wants — the resources, the ambition, and the ideas.   Budget 2025 invests $1.7 billion to attract new talent, catalyse new research, and unlock our full economic potential.

“The Liberals enjoy an 11-point lead over the Conservatives as approval of Pierre Poilievre falls to an all-time low.” The Liberals lead across all age groups except the 35 to 49 demographic. cultmtl.com/2025/10/appr... ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ ❤️🍁🇨🇦VIVE LE CANADA 🇨🇦🍁❤️

I am disgusted by this initiative on so many levels. So this committee feels they can adjudicate the quality of research and grant proposals? I am sure they will focus their efforts on all researchers equally🙄

To the absolute JERK who hit my car in a parking lot and left without leaving your info - I had to go to file an insurance claim, a police claim and go to the police station, will have to go the auto body shop and seriously, am very annoyed with you. Why do people do this?

Globe & Mail reports “the budget is expected to include up to $1-billion to attract high-quality talent and researchers from the United States and elsewhere” So far hospitals and universities have been going it alone…. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic... @ctvnews-mirror.bsky.social

I feel badly as well, but only for the victims who, I might add, are rarely mentioned. Having treated victims of childhood sexual abuse, I’m appalled that losing his titles is considered punishment. When will child rapists be charged for their crimes? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Australian scientist who alerted world that COVID is airborne wins top science prize When the WHO falsely claimed in March 2020 that COVID wasn’t airborne, Professor Lidia Morawska took action—organising 239 scientists worldwide to warn about SARS-CoV-2 airborne spread and urge global recognition.

Interesting analysis and true for all countries, including Canada: male suicides are highest the year after divorce and the leading cause of divorce is economic stress so, the most important policy to support men is universal childcare. #childcare #Canada

I’d like to thank Ontario for my free Covid booster today. Booked a same-day appointment in downtown Toronto this morning. All done. No fuss, no muss, no ideology. And the pharmacist told me that 90% of the people who come in for a flu shot also get the Covid booster. 💉 Ain’t science great?

💯🔥 Pierre Poilievre and Jamil Javani are sowing Stephen Harper’s politics of division and hate whenever and however they can. The call is coming from inside the house, Canada🇨🇦. #EndHate #CanadaStrong #ElbowsUp #FightFascism #NeverPoilievre #NeverConservative @charlieangus.substack.com.web.brid.gy

#Canada take note and never doubt they’ll use threats in negotiations with our government, too. Mafia behaviour.

🧵Why should Canada be worried about Jamil Jovani’s ‘Restore the North’ campus tour? The name echoes ‘Make America Great Again’, it unapologetically mimics Charlie Kirk’s campus tours and CTV is normalizing this, including Charlie Kirk, and ignoring the authoritarian push. youtu.be/zx0kg_XLkI4

Slow but steady. Just passed the 40m mark.

Note to self: put together a thread of things the New York Times says that Canadians are saying that Canadians are definitely not saying.

“about 1.16 million claims are rejected annually” “…have seen #OHIP billings not be resolved because some procedures, like surgeries to reattach limbs, are too complex or involve multiple physicians.” Pay the doctors for saving the lives, Doug. Pay. Them.

We bought this property because of the large yard but Audrey Hepburn just leapt (from a standing position!!) clearing our 5’ fence. I’m torn between admiration and horror - if she escapes it’s dangerous. No yard play till we find a fix. #DogsOfBluesky Yard Sad pups
