The pressures across rural Canada right now are severe- I anticipate we will see ongoing service reductions and more closures of rural Emergency Departments over the summer. We haven’t hit the bottom yet… #healthcare #cdnhealth #cdnpoli

Let's discuss what's happening in Russia. To put it simply, it's going full fascist. Authorities launched a propaganda campaign to gain popular support for their invasion of Ukraine and they're getting lots of it. You can see "Z" on these guys' clothes. What does it mean? 🧵

Toronto - if you have not yet been vaccinated, today is your day! 90 mobile #COVID19 vaccine clinics are up and running all over the city. Very impressive community outreach in Toronto (would we expect anything less from the Centre of the Universe?).

It’s Saturday morning and across our city more than 1000 nurses, doctors, paramedics, and community ambassadors are preparing to host 90 mobile vaccine clinics this weekend. It’s an all-out push on the road to our 90% vaccine target. Let’s go, Toronto. #DaysofVaxtion
