Breaking: Doug Ford’s removal of Toronto’s bike lanes has been deemed unconstitutional by the courts.
“Applicants have established
that removal of the target bike lanes will put people at increased risk of harm and death,” writes justice Paul Schabas in his decision.

ER doc here. Here's what we need to improve access to medical care - not strongly enough said by ICU MD @kwadwo777
1) Ensure NPs are publicly funded. @markhollandlib has to act - we have waited too long for his interpretive letter - 1/7

As an ER doctor I've never seen a driver injured by a cyclist but too many cyclists gravely injured by drivers. I like the idea that more protected bike lanes could improve automobile flow. Solid writing by ICU Dr. Christopher Yarnell

This is the reason your ER doctors are leaving. You don’t have a family doctor, and you can’t get an admission bed. So you end up waiting and waiting in the ER for a physician who might not be able to help much, by @Wall_BF thestar.com/opinion/this-is-… @TorontoStar @raghu_venugopal

Dr. Brian Wall from Victoria, speaks for all ER docs. @Wall_BF
"As eight-, 10-, 12-hour waits become the standard, I find myself apologizing 20 times per shift, 15 shifts a month, likely thousands of times per year for something that is not my fault"

So...New York City just announced that it will require proof of vaccination for indoor dining, bars and gyms.
This is an important step to incentivize vaccination and address the Delta variant.
So...Which Canadian city wants to be the first to showcase this kind of leadership?

Well oops, @AbstractDev you did it again. Part of the wall on Prospect Pl. came down today and now there is another Stop Work Order on the heritage protected wall which you have been nibbling away at since Oct. 2019. You’ve removed your excuse from then - what is it this time?
17 Oct 2019
In response to the questions and concerns regarding the modifications that commenced to the rock wall at York/Prospect Place this morning, we wanted to provide the public with more information on these events: abstractdevelopments.com/new…

If we are to take Katie Telford at her word, it must be very hard for her to realize that she has unwittingly become a part of the problem she hoped to address as a feminist.

How much further ahead would Canada’s covid response be if Philpott were health minister instead of Hajdu? But the former committed the unforgivable political sin of stating the truth (about the prime minister’s abuse of power re SNC Lavalin) in public, so she had to go.
