It was a pleasure to meet with the Canadian Medical Association alongside some of my fellow health Senators. We had discussions about how to support Canadian physicians, and improving healthcare access for Canadians. I am grateful for the CMA’s ongoing leadership to advancing health nationwide.

Canada can step should Ministers Joly and Champagne choose to do so. Must double funding to TriCouncils and scholarships and create a by pathway for US researchers. We can do it, if we choose to.

Let’s be clear: vaccines do not cause autism. This false claim has been thoroughly disproven by decades of research. For some reason there are people who continue this lie, causing unfounded concern amongst parents who want to do the best for their children. @scienceupfirst.bsky.social

It was a privilege to meet with MEEST, a Canadian organization with (Ukrainian roots) over 30 years of experience. “Meest” means “bridge” in Ukrainian, and that’s exactly what they are: MEEST delivers tons of humanitarian aid, offers consistent support to Ukrainians.

A solemn gathering on Parliament Hill, gathered to remember the hundreds of Ukrainian children killed in war - and the thousands more, kidnapped and taken to Russia for “reeducation.” Among the speakers were my Senate colleague @stankutcher.sencanada.ca and Edmonton MP @heathermcpherson.bsky.social

Yesterday, I rose in the Senate Chamber to begin the 2nd reading of my Bill S-210, An Act respecting Ukrainian Heritage Month. Bill S-210 would declare September of every year as Ukrainian Heritage Month. I look forward to working with my colleagues to advocate for all Ukrainian Canadians.

Yesterday, I rose in the Senate chamber to highlight the urgent need to combat neglected tropical diseases—21 treatable illnesses affecting 1 in 8 of the world’s most vulnerable. Canada has shown leadership before, and now is the time to do even more.

Vyshyvanka is the shirt of freedom — a symbol of Ukraine’s dignity, resilience, and beauty. Yesterday, on #VyshyvankaDay, we wear it for those who can’t: under fire, in occupation, or on the front lines. We stand with them. We believe in Ukraine’s victory. #Ukraine

Yes. And his anti-vax actions have the potential to bring back epidemics and pandemics of infectious diseases, harming untold numbers of innocent people and destabilizing national and global security.
RFK Jr.’s views on #autism are clearly offensive. What’s less obvious is that they are also self-serving: He has earned money from his crusade, and stands to do so again in the future, by Donald G. McNeil Jr. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... via @postopinions.bsky.social #infodemic
Opinion | RFK Jr.’s view of autism is wrong — but profitable
The study he hopes to conduct within a year is unlikely to refute the strong existing evidence against his ideas.

Canada’s democracy is under threat—from both Russian disinformation and a growing wave of Trump-aligned rhetoric echoing the Kremlin’s playbook. In our latest op-ed, Marcus Kolga and I explore how these converging narratives are designed to destabilize and divide. The time to act is now.
