One collective voice: Family doctors must speak up to protect our profession - Healthy Debate Canadian family medicine is standing on a knife’s edge. We, as family doctors, need to decide our future.

Canadian family medicine is standing on a knife’s edge. We, as family doctors, need to decide our future. Will we protect our ability to define and regulate our own profession or let others step in and decide our future for us?

Housing is health care. And health care, at its best, is compassion in action.

Healing the healers: Servant leadership and moral injury - Healthy Debate In medicine, service and skill are not opposing forces. They’re inseparable. One without the other leads to harm. Together, service and skills just might help us heal.

Abdulla: Ontario health-care crisis — the sky really is falling This isn’t fearmongering. The system is crumbling under chronic underinvestment, policy inertia and an unwillingness to face fiscal reality.

Chicken Little is dead!

Competency-based leadership: A critical imperative for Canadian health care - Healthy Debate Medical associations, like the government itself, are being asked not just to manage systems but to transform them.

Canada is in a moment that demands more – more wisdom, more rigor, more courage. Medical associations, are being asked not just to manage systems but to transform them. And that transformation begins with competent, credible and visionary leadership.

Abdulla: In times of division, pluralism is the right medicine I'm a family physician. But outside the exam room, I see something spreading that medicine alone can’t fix: polarization.

Abdulla: Abusing doctors and staff won't make health care any better Patients are stressed in our over-burdened system. So are family physicians and their colleagues. I get this. But I don’t get the rudeness.

Abusing family doctors and staff won't make our stressed-out health care system any better, says @dralykhanabdulla.bsky.social. Enough with the rudeness. #ottnews @ottawacitizen.com ottawacitizen.com/opinion/abus...

Adam: Health care deserves more attention in this federal election Yes, tariffs are a huge issue. But if Carney and Poilievre can discuss housing, crime and free park passes, there should be room for health.

One fix to the family doctor crisis? Not every problem needs a doctor Other health professionals can help fill gaps in primary care 'if only we let them.'

Protecting the Canada Health Act comes at the expense of patients - Healthy Debate It’s time to stop treating the Canada Health Act as a symbol and start treating it as what it is: A tool that needs updating.

It’s time to stop treating the Canada Health Act as a symbol and start treating it as what it is: A tool that needs updating. Because the real symbol of Canadian health care shouldn’t be a piece of legislation, it should be a system that works for everyone.

Abdulla: Ten good (and fun) habits for the new year New Year's resolutions often collapse because we aim too big and forget to have fun. This time, let's keep it simple.

Every January, I see the same patterns: bold declarations to run marathons, go vegan, or meditate for an hour a day, all collapsing by mid-February. It’s not because people lack willpower; it’s because we aim too big and forget to have fun with it.

How The Grinch stole family medicine: A tale of Ontario’s health crisis - Healthy Debate Like a green, scheming miser, the Grinch of health care descended upon family medicine, stealing its spirit one policy at a time.

The Grinch didn’t just sneak into the stockings; he took the whole tree, leaving me and my colleagues scrambling for light in the darkness of a collapsing system.

Abdulla: Health care will be better if we practise a little kindness It’s no secret that the health-care system can be frustrating, for patients and providers alike.
