“The evidence from around the world is clear: where a parallel private health system operates, both health outcomes and access to care are worse. Canadians were also clear in their resounding support where every Canadian has access to a publicly funded health care system.”

Rural health systems matter. And there is a lot we need to do to improve them including creating a national rural health workforce strategy to help enable rural health workforce stability and ER predictability.
I’m glad to have worked w stellar teammates on this response.

Canadian docs coming home… what a gift to Canada… so sad for the US.
What’s next for health care in Canada? At #CMAHealthSummit 2025, experts tackled policy shifts, AI, advancing Indigenous self-determination and cross-border impacts in the era of Trump. With an election already in motion, these discussions were more important than ever.
Catch the highlights here 👇
I hope administrators, politicians & the media will watch this video to finally put an end to the Zombie Idea that non-urgent patients are responsible for ED crowding and addressing these patients needs will fix the crowding problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4hZ...
Rural communities matter.
Rural docs and teams have come through the pandemic with new challenges, but also seeing new opportunities as championed by SRPC.
We are in this together... let's champion change for rural clinicians, teams and communities!

Wonderful to see this! Pharmacare investments have the potential to change lives and decrease costs in other sectors! Let’s see more of this important work!
@cmadocs.bsky.social
There are myriad opportunities to work in Ontario. Like BC, we should be marketing hard to skilled doctors who need a new place to practice.

Sorry about the waiting but every child unvaccinated for this year’s Influenza is now streaming in. 🤧😪
Thanks @tvotoday.bsky.social for the opportunity to talk about health care in Ontario today.
It’s a key election issue and it should be.
Rebecca Solnit is a wise, clear voice in turbulent times and her “meditations in an emergency” is brilliant.
