"Ultimately, you're just getting the same care for a higher cost with less oversight because it's happening in a private facility."

CDM's @DevonMitchell45 counters the narrative that these cancer patients would be better served at a for-profit clinic.

I think it’s fine to tax higher earners more because after a certain point you just end up buying stupid things.
Look how many yellow jackets I have. That could have gone to health care.

One of the best things about being President of @ResidentDoctors is meeting and working with these inspiring leaders, the Presidents from @fmrq @FMEQ and @CFMSFEMC
Proud to call them friends and colleagues! #ICAM2024

Medical associations from coast to coast are deeply concerned about any government proposal that would restrict access to evidence-based medical care for patients, including for the transgender population. #CDNhealth #CDNpoli

Medical practices are a safe place for children, youth and families to explore options around gender- affirming treatments.
Children and youth have the right to the appropriate medical care, at the appropriate time, and this should not be denied to them.

"Gender-affirming medical care for #youth should be a decision between the patient, their parents, and their medical care team, without intrusion by government."

if you own a $2m home, a “punishing” 9% property tax increase would be $485/year.
if you rent an average 1-bedroom for $2,800, the 2% allowable rent for 2023 increase is $672/year.
As Vancouver seeks to avoid years of punishing property tax increases, councillors are now looking at fee hikes for everything from parking permits to business licences to the cost of owning a pet.

So thrilled to have been able to give this talk. Thanks to my coresidents, friends and mentors at @EMUofT and @EMResUBC who have supported me in this work, and to all my patients who have taught me so much!! 🌈🌈🌈

Fantastic talk this morning from @DevonMitchell45 on ED Care for Transgender Patient.
Take home point: The greatest threat to a transgender patient's life is transphobia. It isn't a PE, or an infection. Your advocacy can help save their life.

Today, @SCC_eng dismissed the appeal in the Cambie case. While this legal attack on our publicly-funded health care system is finally over, the work to strengthen & improve our health care system is far from done. Let's continue to work for #BetterMedicare

This week was Budget Day™ in many provinces, and so I thought it would be timely to share this recent piece from @bechardmel and I on the futility of pouring money into a broken system, and some suggestions on how to avoid that
