Some provinces offer insufficient or zero coverage for fertility care, resulting in disparities and inequities across Canada.
As someone who has experienced fertility struggles, I proudly support this petition.

The substantial financial burden of fertility care, ranging from approximately $10,000 to $20,000 per cycle, persists as a formidable barrier, especially knowing that more than one cycle is often required to have one baby. 2/4

Enhance your sleep quality: Keep devices away an hour before bedtime. The blue light from screens can disrupt your sleep cycle. Embrace this hour for relaxation and prepare for a restful night. #therippleeffect #restrefocusrecharge #powerhousebook 📵🛌

Another slide from @ebmgatineau
Point by point
Yes: outcomes matter. Women who have screening mammograms are 40-50% less likely to die of breast cancer.
And when detected early, cancer can be effectively treated with fewer mastectomies, less chemo, and less lymphedema.

Happy 90th Birthday to le p’tit gars de Shawinigan & Canada’s 20th Prime Minister Jean Chrétien!
Even at 90 I wouldn’t want to test his Shawinigan handshake 🤝
I was proud to serve as PMJC’s Young Liberal National Director in my younger days. Loved working for the Boss! #LPC

I’ve thought and thought about how to say this.
I have breast cancer.
I’m fucking terrified.
I found it on a self exam. I had no history in my family but I pushed for a mammogram and the biopsy confirmed.
Please self check, advocate for yourself. Please push.

Also, prior to midnight, Firefighters also carried 4 women in labour down the stairs using chairs & multiple women who had just given birth so they could be brought to different hospitals. #OttNews
