“I’ll never be a super model, but I sure as hell could own a super model agency” says @ArleneDickinson at #TheArtOf. Hear, hear!
So refreshing and energizing to be back in person connecting! Looking forward to the next two days of #CMAHEALTHSUMMIT
Kicking off the @CMA_Docs 2023 Health Summit here in Ottawa with @CarAdrianH . Timely discussions on what health care should be at this time of crisis. Imagining a brighter future for the health of Canadians. With diverse representation, let’s begin. @AlikaMD @KatharineSmart
Great distinction made during #TrustBarometer panel: there’s a difference between people not trusting news because it doesn’t match their views and news that is or isn’t true.

“Telling a good story doesn’t cost anything,” says @aliciatillman at #Collision2022. So many stories exist and so many platforms available to share on, but need to understand your audience and brand to be effective.
Thank you for featuring me @IABCOttawa!

Escalating harassment and threats of violence targeted at health workers online must stop.
We call on the federal government to protect #CDNhealth workers and for social media companies to take action to address the harassment on their platforms. #CDNpoli

When governments are unable to adopt every health measure necessary to protect their populations during a pandemic because it will mean that current staffing shortages will worsen, it’s a mark of ongoing system failure. #CDNhealth #CDNpoli
