I'm increasingly wondering if the Conservatives would have been worse. They would have been absolutely awful for sure. But so is Mark Carney, and to a hard-to-beat level.
I'm noticing something about @mark-carney.bsky.social's growing list of proposed "nation building projects" that seems kind of important: the nation they seem to be focussed on building isn't Canada.
These are climate hostile policies that put US profits before Canadian benefits. It sucks. 🧵1/

This is scary stuff
They're making changes to the Mental Health Act, Sec 31, subsection 1
Eby says the amendments will update outdated language to protect health care professionals from being sued for providing involuntary care
Bill will be tabled today with 9 sitting days left on the session #bcpoli

The premier and the health minister have a press conference at noon to talk about "strengthening access to involuntary care" 😐

Allowing doctors to practice in both public and private systems solves precisely two problems that conservative governments would like to fix: (1) barriers preventing the wealthy from line jumping; and (2) barriers preventing doctors from becoming more wealthy.

The CMA spent a year studying public and private health models and consulting with more than 10,000 Canadians on the balance between the two. The evidence is clear: where a parallel private health system operates, both health outcomes and access to care are worse.

When I was laid off, I spoke with the others who got the axe with me.
We realized we had all had moments where we pushed back in editorial disagreements with our superiors.
Turns out a culture of layoffs that targets those who are least deferential to authority has the expected impact.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Je crois que j’ai atteint ma limite annuelle de photos de docteurs qui posent avec leur tête de « le docteur est très fâché là » pour pleurnicher sur des aspects du PL2 qui, en réalité, se tiennent.
Le PL2 a ses vrais problèmes mais la priorisation des patients n’en fait pas partie.

For years my guiding principle at work has been: “Don’t be a jerk.”
It’s simple but unfortunately not that obvious.
But recently, I’ve met people who act like jerks yet truly believe they’re good.
Which makes me wonder ... how do any of us know for sure?

J’ai un peu de mal avec le spin médiatique actuel qui présente les médecins du QC comme de pauvres victimes sans pouvoir.
Oui, les projets de loi 106 et 2 sont problématiques. Non ils ne vont pas aider.
Mais ça ne fait pas des médecins les gens les plus a plaindre sur la planète pour autant.
