Normand Meunier is a Canadian man with quadriplegia who accessed MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) after being left for 96 hours on a stretcher in the ER.

His requests for a specialized mattress were denied.

He wasn't turned regularly.

He developed bed sores so bad, he opted to end his life.

«Canada should engage in a proper reckoning by developing real in-house expertise to regulate Big Tech. Adopting measures like reviving expert councils, launching proper public consultations, and fixing loopholes in transparency and accountability»

Solid oped.
Canada’s ability to maintain independent digital and cultural policies isn’t a “nice to have” to be traded against US protectionist bullying. It’s *the* fundamental test of whether Canada can remain a sovereign country.
If you don’t stand up for those, you’re not standing up for Canada.

Excellent public health messaging from New York City!!

Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji.

How can you do that?

Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95.

It’ll help keep you and your community safe.
Graphic from nyc public health that says “wear a mask this fall” It shows two yellow emoji people. One on the left is wearing a white mask and making a peace sign. The one on the right is wearing a scarf and blowing its nose.

This is not a drill: Sandy Lake's future may be decided in the coming days.

If we want a say in the future of our communities, we need to show up.

HRM Open House re: Sandy Lake is TONIGHT: engagehalifax.ca/sandy-lake-s...

This is our chance to defend our right to shape the communities we live in.
Square graphic with a megaphone in the top left, logos for Our HRM Alliance and the Ecology Action Centre in the top right corner, and an image of Sandy Lake in a circular frame in the bottom right. Text is green and dark blue and reads, "This may be the last chance to save sandy lake. We need to fill the room." Square graphic with an image of people canoeing on Sandy Lake at the bottom. Text is green and dark blue and reads, "What's happening: The Province has taken control of planning at Sandy Lake - cutting out the HRM Council and sidelining public oversight. If we don’t show up now, this rushed plan could move ahead without proper studies or community consent." Square graphic with green and blue text. Text reads, "What's at stake: This development could mean: Increased flood risk for nearby neighborhoods. Severe traffic congestion on already congested roads. $130M+ in public costs for private development. A car-dependent subdivision outside the Urban Service Boundary. A dangerous precedent for bypassing local democracy." Square graphic with blue text. Text reads, "What we're asking: Pause provincial-driven expansion. Complete environmental & climate studies first. Put democratic municipal planning back where it belongs - with the community. Build homes while protecting nature and people. Good planning isn’t a delay, it’s prevention."

In the last year before Covid arrived in England, 4,059 people waited more than twelve hours to get admitted to hospital after the decision was made to admit them to hospital.

During the emergency phase of the pandemic that number rose to a staggering 48,626.

In many places, these covenants banning multi-unit housing served to perpetuate exclusion and class segregation after racially discriminatory clauses became unenforcable. They continue to keep apartment dwellers out of some of Halifax's most walkable, centrally located neighbourhoods.

As Halifax deals with a housing crisis, some of the wealthiest Haligonians have a different concern. Residents of some south-end peninsula neighbourhoods are concerned about “losing single-family density”

(Aside: I would definitely not call these the “final” hurdles to development)
Halifax has removed the final hurdle to development in some areas — and neighbours are fighting back | CBC News
A wealthy Halifax neighbourhood with tree-lined streets and grand homes on the Northwest Arm has become one of the latest battlegrounds in the city’s push to build more housing.

Where do we go for acute issues that are caused by our chronic illnesses? The ER doesn’t manage our issues. Well neither do our doctors. So where do we go. What do we do? We sit at home and hope it’s not fatal.

I would love @susanholtnb.bsky.social and the minister of health to weigh in on this.
