Today’s the launch of @tvotoday.bsky.social (MIS)Treated, a podcast on women’s health. Thank you for the support & messages🙏❤️. About 7% of Canada’s federal spending goes to women’s health & women weren’t included in clinical trials until 1993 in USA and 1997 in Canada m.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oco...

A woman in Canada waited 11 years for a gynaecological diagnosis!! Women’s health is under funded and under researched. In Sept, I’ll be hosting a podcast on women’s health and how we got here. I hope you can listen to (MIS)Treated on TVO.

Took my kids & niece to Caribana. It’s the first time I’ve been in awhile as I’ve been dealing with health problems the last few years. Toronto has become a hard city to live but Caribana’s a reminder of what makes it so unique & special. Grateful to live in a city that celebrates multiculturalism.

My love and deepest condolences to the family of Abra Shiner who passed away earlier this week. Abra invited us into her home last year #TVOTheThread Abra had terminal breast cancer and was being renovicted from her home of 25 years. May her memory be a blessing. If you can help:

Women in Canada have had to travel abroad because the wait times are long & some procedures are not available here. A woman in NS spent $50k USD. Why aren’t we talking about this? I’m working on a new project for TVO on women’s health. If you have a story you’d like to share, email nkiwanuka@tvo.org

In a recent TED Talk, @yoshuabengio.bsky.social
a Canadian researcher who has been called a “godfather” of AI, says “a sandwich has more regulation than AI.” I wrote about why with the excitement of AI we need to listen & enact the lessons we’ve learned from social media @tvotoday.bsky.social

Life is lifing right now. I took a long walk after work today. On any day, the Scarborough Bluffs are so beautiful but today I saw a Heron in person for the first time and I was mesmerized. How lucky are we that this is in Ontario? 😍 Listen to all of those beautiful sounds🥰

I will always be that person staring at a sunset. Nature is showing off tonight 😍😍 #ScarboroughViews

I mean, a rainbow seconds later to the east 😍 #ScarboroughViews

I can’t believe I was on the BBC! Thank you Lyse Doucet for invite to talk about issues facing #CanadaElection From affordable housing to healthcare, issues for those we interviewed #TVOTheThread To catch up on the last episode on how violence is impacting communities m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh_-...

Thank you CP24 Breakfast for the interest #TVOTheThread. Tonight’s ep we speak to a group of teen girls from Toronto, whose images were manipulated into non-consensual images by a classmate. Why can’t the law keep up with technology & what are the impacts of deepfakes? @tvotoday.bsky.social 730pm

If you’re looking for some great reads from Canadian authors (and an American 😅) The video cut me off 😭 Bee’s book is so beautiful. It’s gems of life advice to her babies. Grateful to speak to some of these authors and interviews can be found @tvotoday.bsky.social YT page📚 🤓 #TVOBooks 🇨🇦

If immigrants leave, what does Canada gain and what does it lose? We spoke to Daniel Bernhard from the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, who told us that Canadians could lose out on more of what Canadians need. #TVOTheThread
