With so many facts to check last week, we want to comment in follow-up to the AB government statement on pharmacare. We would like to see the evidence behind Alberta's decision to opt out of the pharmacare initiative. (1/2) alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=9…

Government has chosen not to act. If we are not being heard, it’s time to shout. There is strength in acting together, in determination and in a relentless focus on patients. Albertans are counting on us. Dr. Shelley Duggan's inaugural President's Letter: albertadoctors.org/news/publ…

Wonder why we who work in sexual and reproductive health in Alberta are worried? 👇 #abhealth
AB Health Minister Adriana LaGrange unable to explain how switching to Covenant Health would not reduce access to health services (eg: reproductive health care, MAID). Great questioning by @ShayeGanam to repeatedly ask and challenge LaGrange on her non-answers. #ableg #abpoli

Harm reduction isn't only for addictions. Your treatment for diabetes, hypertension or thyroid disease isn't a cure. It is mitigating the risk of your currently incurable condition. Harm reduction isn't evil. It's common. It's leveraging science to reduce suffering.

Ontario withdraws essential healthcare, evidence based healthcare, and life saving healthcare and there is nothing @CAMHnews or I can do to change their mind. We speak only to the public record and know we did not abandon our patients in silence.

Tragically an unvaccinated <5 child in Toronto succumbed to measles, a situation I know too well from working in nations with privation, forced migration and collapsed health systems. We don't have details, but chances are this was preventable. thestar.com/news/canada/a-yo…

The single most impactful thing we did in 11 years was this pass. I have cried hearing the stories of how it changed the lives of poorer people in our community. And it was cost effective! (for Calgary, 1/20 the price of the Turkish Tylenol, half of the cost of the pension plan advertising). Yet again, this government punches down on vulnerable people for no reason.
NEW: Edmonton mayor Amarjeet Sohi has released this statement indicating the Government of Alberta is cutting its funding for the low income transit pass program in both Edmonton and Calgary.

🧵regarding the 117 deaths in The Iliad where Homer provided details about the mechanism of injury: Here we will run an M&M conference to consider whether these deaths might have been preventable if the Achaeans and Trojans had modern Level 1 trauma centers at the time. (1/ )
