The last federally run residential school closed in 1997, but traces of the system are everywhere on the land. How to commemorate the dark, painful history of these places? Across Canada, survivors are taking the lead: thenarwhal.ca/truth-reconc...

Today, September 28, marks five years since Joyce Echaquan, a 37-year-old Atikamekw woman, died in a Quebec hospital after she was denied the care she needed. A coroner’s inquest confirmed that racism and prejudice were factors in her death.

Good question to reflect on, as we start the week

If you thought that in Canada, fully credentialed physicians wouldn’t be spreading disinformation like this on their social media, you’d be wrong. To quote Dr. Hart “that’s insanely irresponsible.”

Today is International #SafeAbortion Day. Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls. As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

This Sunday marks 25 years since the FDA approved mifepristone as a safe, effective medication to end a pregnancy. A quarter century later, the Trump administration is using junk science to try to strip away access. We'll never stop fighting for the reproductive health care we need and deserve.

I'm proud of our new study showing that some people born in the 1990s have high levels of antibodies that cross-react to H3 viruses from the 1990s and....contemporary H1N1 viruses. Such a surprising story led by Grace Li, in collaboration with many Penn-CEIRR labs. 1/ www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Perfect example of the failure of public health - there are people who want to protect themselves and don’t have the tools to do so.

Excellent interview by @drgorfinkel.bsky.social on the importance of masks www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

This is a big advance, folks. We've never had a disease-modifying drug for this devastating inherited disease www.science.org/content/arti... www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... www.economist.com/science-and-...

Same issue in Canada. It should be mandatory for elementary schools to have enough spots for any family who wants their kids in before and after school care.

Omgoodness, a friend from medschool just posted and tagged me on his facebook page--his hospital (Kaiser in northern CA) has started a @3wishesprogram.bsky.social! This makes me so happy! #Kindness is spreading.

Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree welcomes welcomes Poilievre back to the House of Commons and asks him to get his SECURITY CLEARANCE so he can actually do his job! #cdnpoli

Sign this please my fellow Canadians! 🇨🇦 and don’t forget to confirm the email thereafter

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

Woo-hoo!!! A win for the UCLA research community! A win for science! A win for sanity! calmatters.org/education/20...

I can make the following statement because this is what multiple studies have shown: If your child has is on the autism spectrum, it is NOT because you took Acetaminophen while you were pregnant. ACETAMINOPHEN. DOES. NOT. CAUSE. AUTISM. There’s no proven causal link. There is NOT.

That's a good article with accurate medical facts www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

To counter Trump’s statement about Tylenol and pregnancy, this from Canada ⬇️ Pregnant women ‘should not feel guilty’ about using Tylenol: Ontario Pharmacists Association - there is no link to autism #Canada Trump is an idiot!! www.ctvnews.ca/video/2025/0...

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

1/ It’s official: all 13 provinces and territories will now have nonbinary as an option on birth certificates.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

A Catholic school board, no less. So much for reconciliation. www.aptnnews.ca/videos/schoo...

This would affect a lot of Canadians. Third largest H1B source country after India and China. Conversely, Canada might want to re-start its program to bring in highly talented H1B holders who suddenly find themselves unable to enter the States… www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

Hello #HamOnt! On Oct 16th I'll be at the @hamiltonlibrary.bsky.social talking about fascinating research on how vaccinations protect the aging brain. It's free, it's fun, and I would love to see you all there. Register below. @miramcmaster.bsky.social

Here’s how vaccines work! | immunize.ca/sites/default/f... #VaccinesWork #VaccinesSaveLives #GetImmunized

Observe the warning signs of fascism. And yes Canada, that includes you too. #cdnpoli 👇

This is amazing.

"No vaccine was tested more extensively than the RNA vaccines, and no vaccine was given to more people than the mRNA vaccines, & they were found to be incredibly safe...and effective. They saved 20 million lives, & they stopped a pandemic that was shutting down the world." -Drew Weissman

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

Sadly it was a yearly subscription, so they won't feel my little effect of cancelling until July, but never supporting fascists again. When you cancel, make sure you leave comments so they know.

Danielle Smith often calls herself the most 'freedom-loving' politician in Canada, yet she's repeatedly infringed on your fundamental human rights. Her actions are simply cruel, wrong, and politically motivated. youtu.be/QSt_msI0ayo

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No. Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

This is a direct assault on human rights and an attack on 2SLGBTQI+ communities. The govt knows their legislation is discriminatory and unconstitutional, which will be struck down in court. Albertans should strongly object. Who will be targeted next? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

And ABC knows it: "Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘢𝘥𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘥." Don't you see that THIS IS EXACTLY how fascism wins? 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘧-censorship is tyranny's ultimate goal. WAKE UP, AMERICA! You are 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 close. 🤐=😶

Pretending to not know who she was is a narcissistic power play, used to further diminish her as a human being. He knows exactly who she was, but he’s a vengeful, disgusting, spiteful excuse of a person.

🚨NEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. Trump ain't sleeping tonight. 🤣 This is a must-watch. 🔥

This from @cdnpress.bsky.social & @reportrix.bsky.social is the last thing I wanted to read tonight. Such cruel and awful plans by the Alberta government and Premier Smith. www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/national/alb...

This is the way. The only way. Time to step up, everyone. To be more like Jon Green, of IOWA of all places. Not because it's easy, but because it matters. Even more so when your job literally holds the lives of millions in the balance. Science matters. FIGHT. BACK.

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.
