“There's nothing more Canadian than our commitment to care for each other.” – @jossreimer.bsky.social

It’s hard to keep up with U.S. President Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff threats. But according to a recent survey of physicians by the Canadian Medical Association (CMA), what is clear is t...

Children & youth are put at unnecessary risk when they do
not have access to pediatric medications or child-friendly
formulations. This is not a challenge unique to TB patients, but sadly quite a common occurrence for Canada's kids.

How problematic is the Alberta report on COVID? Very.

Recommendations embrace misinformation & run counter to a vast & diverse body of evidence.

Policy analysis is nonsensical & displays a lack of knowledge about law or ethics.

This is science in Alberta? Dark Age 2.0.

When one in five Canadians do not have access to a family doctor, it's no wonder people look for medical information online. But with the rise of misinformation, this online info can do more harm than good. We need to address this critical issue now. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
More than a third of Canadians turn to online info due to lack of doctor access: poll
The Canadian Medical Association says the number of Canadians turning to online sources for medical help emphasizes the lack of accessible health care across the country.
