There are 3 truths about Canadian healthcare that the public will acknowledge in the next two years: 1. Healthcare is collapsing across Canada because of decisions to underfund it over the past two decades. For folks who say it’s unsustainable, we’ve been saying that for 30 years. Underfunding was not the solution to that problem. The solution was (and still is!) making deliberate choices of what public healthcare is and isn’t (which we haven’t done either), linked to what we publicly fund and what we don’t. We then have to regulate both of those markets effectively.

Such an honour to be recognized among fellow alumni. 🥰

The forever problem with Canadian competitiveness is the chronic tolerance of weak competition policy and regulators in allowing monopolists to swallow competitors over and over again...telecom, banking, retail, media, oil and gas...

Read this book years ago and it’s essential reading for each of my kids.

International relations should always be about the long game.

Chantal Hebert is a national treasure.

Liberals win #Election2025 Hope there’s soul searching by the Conservative Party on how it needs to change in coming months

Canada 🇨🇦, it’s time. #cdnpoli

Live in rural Alberta w/ many Progressive Conservative friends quietly sharing they are voting Liberal today. Reform friends who also hear this tell me “those PCs weren’t REAL conservatives anyways.” If you want to win elections, that’s probably the wrong answer. #Election2025

The Canadian Medical Association (@cma_docs) has launched its National Physician Health Survey. With anxiety and burnout on the rise in our profession, the survey will provide information we need to build a stronger, safer, more inclusive health workforce bit.ly/4iRhjPw

There’s talented politicians and politicians who truly are terrible at their job. For anyone complaining about talented people not going into politics, this type of garbage is why. Agree with @RobynUrback, leave the kids out of it.

It’s been a busy few months for Gary Anandasangaree, minister of Crown-Indigenous relations and northern affairs. In the midst of the Liberal leadership race, he has announced a slew of agreements and initiatives #cdnpoli #ParlCA ipolitics.ca/news/carney-tru…

If polls truly mirror Canadian voting intentions, I really hope the Federal Conservatives make a hard turn left, back to being a slightly right of centre party again.
