Indigenous, Black people face longer ER wait times, Winnipeg study finds New race-based data shows people of colour are generally waiting longer for care in Winnipeg emergency departments than white people, according to a new report from Manitoba Shared Health.

About reconciliation in healthcare: what are the measures of progress? I argue one measure is the reduction in waittimes. This is the measure of fear in a patient, and resistance in the system to treat.

A regrettable miss, for sure.

SFT was a work of speechwriting art, gotta say. Felt the authenticity from the King when he spoke to reconciliation.

But nothing on healthcare crisis.

Also, do you know the # of communities evacuating due to wildfire yesterday & today, but nothing in the speech? This is Flin Flon. #CDNpoli

Settling in for the overpriced pomp and glitter of the SFT ready with my Bingo card courtesy @hilltimes.com
& @pmazereeuw.bsky.social. Anybody worried trade/energy corridor might steamroll over reconciliation in this govt? Don't go all colonial on us now, @mark-carney.bsky.social #CDNpoli

Alberta separation? Quebec laughs out loud. Albertans, if you separate, you would have to pay taxes, more than the HST to pay for a govt. And you wouldn't have the benefit of Canadian public health, altho it seems unheeded. No more firefighting help. Separation won't fix your maga-influence problem.

Indigenous art held by HBC must not be auctioned off, some of it likely stolen. If you know key people at CanadianTire, Urbana Corp, tell them to advocate HBC and courts for reconciliation now, the art must go home. Even museums would know better than to take stolen art.

@brucefanjoy.bsky.social you can do it Bruce!!

Thanks, Jonathan.

No! We don’t wait! Normally we can’t wait, but tonight is even more tense.

The tangerine emperor has no clothes and the American media has chosen to be his coat, instead of doing fact-based journalism.
Please Canadian media, don't be so spineless. Fact-based journalism is a necessary part of a democracy, so play your role #cdnmedia.

My book Ally is a Verb drops on April 22, and I'll be doing a very small book tour. Much gratitude to @tanyatalaga.bsky.social for her support.

GO CORY!!!

Cracking the Magafacists code

There can only be one response made by every democratic country on earth right now to the White House. Coming to Ukrainians defence publicly and in support of Zelensky is all anyone should say.

I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦. I stand with democracy.

Time for the 25th.

No kidding. And it’s only going to get worse.

So proud of the impacts you’re making for us. Keep it up!

There was a moment of patriotism here, for sure. This column is partly due to the actions of @charlieangus104.bsky.social who reminded us to fight for the country. Thanks, Charlie.

Extortion. The criminal act of using threats, accusations, menaces, or violence to coerce someone into surrendering something against their will. Tell me that the orange man isn't doing extortion to Canada and Mexico... straight out of some godfather movies.

@wickdchiq.bsky.social That was a great column, thank you.

Just imagine the worst possible, and that's it. Worst possible. Except he did not name Canada by name, there's that.

Come on home, people in America who are now at risk in your own country. Come on home to Canada. Before he sends troops to the northern border. Before Margaret Atwood is proven a god by forseeing it. #Staysafe

We're so focused on the tariff threat to us, we've lost sight of the likely human rights threats in US incl deportations. If you haven't see the movie Siege, you may be able to see it on the US streets. And then rights of pregnant women... our humanity and compassion is about to be tested. #cdnpoli

Thank you to @katemalloy379.bsky.social and @hilltimes.com for believing in me. This happened at the end of 2024.

@chrisdornan.bsky.social thanks for your column today "are we fascist yet", great piece.
