Last week, the Canadian government announced cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP), the initiative through which hundreds of thousands of people in Canada are able to afford their health care.

As a doctor, I know cutting health care for refugees hurts us all ⋆ The Breach
Targeting the most vulnerable is a slippery slope toward weakening public health for all

Refugees fleeing war, persecution, and climate disasters now face new fees for prescriptions and essential therapies in Canada.

As a doctor, writes @yipengge.bsky.social these cuts will harm patients and strain our health-care system. breachmedia.ca/as-a-doctor-...

I have been thinking a lot about the land and the water lately.

It’s a privilege to work as a doctor. To work with patients for their health and wellbeing- what a radical act of defiance that is in a capitalist society ruled by the rich and powerful that benefits from everyday people thinking that we shouldn’t care about our fellow human kin, at home and abroad.

Announced this week, the federal government is introducing cuts to the interim federal health plan (IFHP) that gives healthcare access to people who are refugees in Canada. This affects the patients I care for as a doctor.

With today being the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia, I am not only reflecting on the people killed, injured, and traumatized from the attack that happened in 2017,

Be a helper like Alex Pretti. He was an ICU nurse who knew that his work of caring and helping others extended beyond the hospital and clinic walls. And for that, he was executed in broad daylight by federal ICE agents.

This is Dr. Alireza Golchini, a general surgeon. He was detained by Iranian government forces for providing medical care to protesters. The charges he faces puts him at risk of execution. Our medical colleagues are being targeted for doing their jobs of caring for patients in Iran.

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I am thinking of the people who resisted against the mass murder and genocide of Jewish people, Slavic peoples, Roma and Sinti people, queer people, people with disabilities, communists, socialists, leftists and many others.

What we are seeing is the imperial boomerang. The colonial fascist violence that has been inflicted for decades and generations in places like Palestine is being used here on Turtle Island on everyday people like Alex Pretti, who was a nurse.

The facade of an international rules-based order is being destroyed because of the impunity enjoyed by powerful Western states, including Canada, which have repeatedly selectively applied human rights only when it benefits capitalist economic and state interests,

This past weekend, we held a film screening in Ottawa at the Mayfair theatre for the BBC-commissioned film, “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack”, which chronicles the Israeli attacks on healthcare institutions and workers in Gaza as part of the Israeli genocide against Palestinians over the past 2 years.

One year ago, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was abducted by the Israeli military along with dozens of other medical staff during a horrific raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza, Palestine on December 27, 2024.

Free Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.

Grateful to have spent time today on #HumanRightsDay to listen to @alexneve.bsky.social speak about universal human rights, including our collective responsibility to fight for them. How silence is not an option. And solidarity as our mantra.

Today is Human Rights Day.

What are you doing to help tear down walls, and build a longer table for all peoples, towards collective liberation for all from the structural oppression of capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism.
