B.C. researchers studied how homeless people spent a $7,500 handout. Hereโ€™s what they found

Brutal. Still horrifically smoky in Yellowknife. #Wildfires may last 1-2 more months. Glad to be joining @cathmckenna @Melissa_Lem @ojistohhorn @CMA_Docs health summit next week to discuss health system response to the #ClimateEmergency. @CabinRadio cabinradio.ca/139963/news/yeโ€ฆ

This story is heartbreaking - as a parent, as a Canadian, as a human on a heating planet. This is our world at over 1 degree of warming. Canada is on track for 3 degrees. Climate action saves lives. Let's get to work. @CAPE_ACME @Melissa_Lem thestar.com/life/health-wellโ€ฆ

Week 255. On Wednesday, the @EUparliament will vote on the Nature Restoration Law. We demand MEPs to not reject this law and to vote for the strongest law possible. We canโ€™t afford to continue sacrifice nature in the name of extraction and greed. #RestoreNature #ClimateStrike

The vast majority of Canadians are correct: wildfires are directly linked to the climate crisis. The smoke in our lungs stems from our addiction to coal, oil and gas. There is a better way, and it involves a cap on oil and gas emissions. @CAPE_ACME theenergymix.com/2023/07/04/โ€ฆ

68% Link Wildfires to Climate Change as 2023 Sets Canadian Record

With 2023 already shattering records for Canadaโ€™s worst wildfire season ever, a new poll shows more than two-thirds of Canadians agreeing that the blazes are at least partly caused by climate change.

2 years ago today, the first Prairie province joined #PaRx, Saskatchewan! ๐Ÿฅณโ  โ  DYK that written prescriptions are better received than oral advice in motivating patients to make a change? Cheers to another year of helping SK patients get #outsideandunplugged for their health!

So I wrote this op/ed a couple of weeks ago after a particularly bad stint of climate anxiety. Shopped it around to 5 different MSM orgs. Unsuccessfully. So here it is, on medium.com. Plz share it if you think it is worthy of sharing. medium.com/@jvipondmd/the-unโ€ฆ
