On a day like this in May 2009, I was 15 and was crossing this bridge with indelible scars & with tens of thousands of Tamils. There was no Buddha or lotuses floating that day, it was dead & bleeding bodies. I was a witness.Pc: Today military's vesak decorations at #Nandikadal

Such a great project to be involved with. Teen bariatric experiences are unique bc they are also transitioning into adulthood and so, require additional age-appropriate supports.
So happy that our longitudinal follow-up of teen #bariatricsurgery post-op experiences @SickKidsNews has been published! Read about implications of life transitions and changing social landscapes on weight management, body image, & mental health here: nature.com/articles/s41366-0…

#BREAKING: 70+ orgs across Ontario agree - we CAN'T police our way out of the pandemic. We need to prioritize worker rights & the wellbeing of Black, Indigenous, racialized & marginalized communities. Full statement: tinyurl.com/AgainstPandemicP… Please RT #COVID19 #PaidSickDaysNow

Sad to see many ppl in Woburn/M1G turned away from vaccine pop-up clinic today. Scarborough needs more doses and more clinics that are organized in partnership with community groups & orgs so they are done equitably.
Sadly @SHNcares has a capacity for 5,000 shots a day......but only enough vaccine for 1,400 shots a day.....@celliottability #Scarborough

In the last 24 h, @DrMWarner has spoken to @CNN & I have spoken to @AJEnglish. Many other health workers have spoken to international media too. The Ontario government's #COVID19 plan is now an international embarrassment. The people of Ontario deserve better. RT if you agree
