Today, our palliative care team met a man in a shelter who was called "non-compliant" because he wasn't taking his meds. We developed trust & learned: He didn't know how to read…so he couldn't read the labels on his pill bottles. When we listen more, we can care better. 🙏🏾

Sunrise on the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, @LacSeulFN Today is a day to listen to survivors, to honour the children lost, found and those we seek. Be gentle, kind, it is an emotional day. Above all, think what you can do to bring change. #EveryChildMatters

Indigenous people need justice for the crimes that were committed at residential schools. We can't close our eyes and say “this is something that happened a long time ago.” The perpetrators of residential school crimes need to be charged, says our CEO, @groulx_lynne.

"What if he knew you were such a gentle and loving friend? What if he knew how much you loved dolphins and the colour purple? ... What if he knew your brother needed you? What if he chose love and not hate?" A letter by two of Yumna Afzaal's friends 😭😭 lfpress.com/opinion/columnis…

This mural was made by 15 year old Yumna Afzaal. Her star was stolen by hate but the spirit of her inspiring words cannot be denied. It should be shared & never forgotten. This is what every Canadian should aspire to #OurLondonFamily

Joyce Echaquan, a Atikamekw 37 year old mom of 7, filmed herself dying as health workers hurled racist insults at her. An inquest has shown she died of heart failure & was wrongly diagnosed with opioid withdrawal. Don’t tell me racism doesn’t exist in healthcare! RIP Joyce 💔

Patient brought to ER. Been ill but can't afford to stay home due to #precariouswork. Tests +ve for #COVID19. Respiratory status worsens - needs an ICU bed. The govt will cover entire hospital costs which may be over 100k. #PaidSickDays wld hv been cheaper and > humane.
