I’ve moved countries as a doctor and it is both difficult and expensive. But 1/4 physicians in Canada was born and/or did medical school overseas, so there’s actually not much new here except the country involved- the pathways have always been there.
It gets better from here apparently.
The stuffed animals in the glovebox…😭. Tearing up just thinking about it.
I’m in this post and I don’t like it.
Apparently happiness bottoms out in your early 50s?
Ppl who want to live in cities but want free parking everywhere they go in that city. 🙃
Excellent article. I believe in leadership term limits as part of good governance. In academia, healthcare, politics-wherever!
There is a question institutions rarely ask out loud.
How long is too long to hold a leadership seat?
Let’s discuss how leadership stagnation is reshaping the future of academic medicine and why the next generation is quietly walking away.

Calling all surgeons! How well does your roster meet proposed new surgical workplace standards? 🤔

≤1 in 4 when callback rate 10–25%
≤1 in 5 when callback rate 25–50%
≤1 in 7 when callback rate >50%

London is proving that sustained action on road safety delivers real change.
By investing in better junctions, safer speeds and HGV safety standards, we’re building a city you can move around with confidence.
Low rates are a start, but our goal is zero. Because every journey should end safely.
If it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between fossil-fuel lobbyists and the billionaire press, that's because there isn’t one.

“The tide of public consciousness has turned in Australia as well. This is the real danger for Anthony Albanese. The disconnect between the values of everyday voters and the desires of influential powerbrokers is irreconcilable.”

When it comes to the likelihood of car crashes, or the deadly consequences of car crashes, speed is ALWAYS a factor. #UrbanTruth
"There are all sorts of stupid things that state governments are doing, where they're spending literally hundreds of millions of dollars propping up failing fossil fuel projects."

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."
Imagine if anthropologists visited a remote village with no grocery store and one restaurant that only served hamburgers and then concluded based on their observations that the villagers prefer hamburgers. That's essentially the discourse surrounding Americans and their relationship to cars.
When I was learning to drive, my Dad would constantly remind me, "Speed magnifies mistakes." This should be the mantra of road designers as well.
The same week the Albanese Government joins a war, they cancelled one of the major transparency measures in Defense.
“What are the lessons from the Parisian revolution?
First, pushing out cars improves life for most inhabitants.
Lesson 2 is that banishing cars doesn’t hurt an urban economy.
Lesson 3: car-free cities must offer people good alternative ways to travel. Paris itself does.”

There’s has been no significant growth in crocodile numbers in the Top End in more than a decade. But that doesn’t mean floodwaters are safe.
More than three years as a city councillor and it still amazes me that every meeting on every topic turns into an argument about parking. It’s exhausting.
I have a million thoughts but I'll say this : Men's suffering is *always* treated as more important than the suffering of women.
Sexual assault survivors actually have the highest rates of PTSD in the world, but that never gives us pity or leeway.
Men on the other hand? Kid gloves.
"Removing a requirement that restaurants must provide 10 parking spaces per thousand square feet of floor area...is no more a war on cars than removing a requirement that everyone must eat 10 hamburgers a month would be a war on hamburgers."
Politicians are more responsible for saving lives than the healthcare system-https://www.unimelb.edu.au/newsroom/news/2023/february/vehicle-emissions-may-cause-over-11,000-deaths-a-year,-research-shows. Or not, in this case.
What Australia's current opposition leader Angus Taylor was posting in 2019. What if there hadn't been a concerted effort to kill off vehicle efficiency standards in the election that year? How much money would be saved by Australians today, if Taylor had decided *not* to be a total turnip?
“The govt says it’s doing more for women & mothers, but what it’s actually doing is a whole lot of nothing. ..there is no substantive examination of why women are saying no to motherhood.”
NEW: Even the strongest anti-abortion advocates don't want to punish people for pregnancy loss. Police and prosecutors are finding ways to do it anyway.
Here's what happens when miscarriage is recast as murder:
A city of drivers expands, rapidly and inevitably, into sprawl.
A city of pedestrians, cyclists, and transit-users settles gradually and elegantly into itself.
Wild how many people operate on the assumption that all women work corporate email jobs and men work 16-hour shifts mud-wrestling in mine shafts. The most common sector for women is healthcare. And I have seen things working in healthcare that would make men yearn for the mines.
