I support @CBCNews and all CBC as news as balanced as it can be @CPC_HQ should immediately denounce their ‘leader’ @PierrePoilievre and ask him to resign. Publicly funded media is NOT government propaganda, the ridiculous conflation must be denounced immediately and unequivocally
Congratulations to @usaskfamilymed for fully matching in the first round of @CaRMS_CA Well done!!

With 1.8M Ontarians lacking a FMD and many millions more in rural and remote communities, we believe ALL patients should have access to publicly funded virtual care. 30,000+ people agree. See my update here on saving virtual care in Ontario. shorturl.at/JUZ68 @CBC @CTVNews
This is really disappointing. Surely a more rigorous review should be used to make policy this impactful. Many quality focused systems expect 40-60% virtual care. #virtualcare is a lever to address access&maldistribution of providers we should embrace it cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/v…
I think it is great that 117 nurses have been recruited from overseas. This will assist in relieving the burden. Can we all agree that poaching nurses from developing nations is an unacceptable longterm strategy for health human resource supply? #skpoli
Well tonight at 0130 in the RGH we have 30 admitted patients with no beds to go to. Crisis what crisis???? #skpoli #healthcare
So sorry for my friends and colleagues in Alberta. No respite from the madness. #influenza
Hello colleagues! Please stop telling people they have a #virus and then prescribing an #antibiotic It is actually harmful to the patient. You should know that !!!
Today I saw more positive swabs for #COVID19 #influenza and #RSV than I have ever seen in a busy week at any other time during my career. Please remember this #publichealth works.
Let me say something controversial There is no #HealthCareCrisis We are living through the predictable consequence of decades of bad policy decisions from successive governments. Let’s reimagine #healthcare Stop maintaining a broken system #healthcarereform Invest in people.
Children are presenting to the #ER infected with all three #Influenza #Covid #RSV simultaneously. We need to do something now!
Be kind to the #nurses especially at triage! They have the hardest job and put up with the most crap. #BeKind #ER they are not the ones making you wait. They feel the pain of the broken system more than you do #healthcare
#Saskatchewan Pediatric wards are to the max. Patients waiting for beds for days. ER overflowing. Just another day at the office?!? @SaskHealth @PremierScottMoe it is past time to act.

I know you’re tired of hearing it but healthcare in our province is under some immense stress. We need help. Someone please find a way to help us before we lose more staff which in turn will make it harder to serve the public. #skpoli
I wonder what would happen if there was a rule that the minimum increase to wages be equivalent to the increase politicians give themselves?? #fairwage #goodfaithnegotiation #notwithstandingclause
#PSA #Saskatchewan as #COVID19 numbers rise please remember that when they say it is ‘mild’ in children they mean it is milder than in adults. It is still a severe illness which makes children very sick.
