FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
New report out this week: Leading Beyond the Gap from Women’s Health Collective Canada (with McKinsey Canada).
Canadian women spend 24% more of their lives in poor health. Closing the women’s health gap could add $37B to GDP by 2040.

So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde
New partnership aims to make Ottawa a hub for biotherapeutics manufacturing and biodefence ottawacitizen.com/news/partner...
I hope it's not lost on anyone that the exact same motherfuckers on the Canadian right who spent decades wielding the idea of Canadian Patriotism like a cudgel, talking about "real Canadians", accusing every opponent of "hating Canada", are now pivoting to a platform of literal treason
I've got a new piece for @canadiandimension.bsky.social about residential school denialism, the Making a Killing documentary, and the politics of Canada's anti-Indigenous industry: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...
I hope that as part of a strong Canadian community you will stop all government and liberal party communication on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Endorsing a platform for CSAM is a bad look for Canada.
Written by the father of a trans girl…
“When society tries to police and exclude trans girls, it ends up policing all girls.
Because transmisogyny does not just say, “Trans girls aren’t real girls.” It also says, “There is only one correct way to be a girl.””
“Research on increased deaths in ER at private equity-owned hosp aligns with a 2021 study finding 11% ⬆️ mortality rates at NH owned by private equity. That study, concluded that ⬇️
nursing staffs & ⬇️ in compliance with care standards contributed to the increased deaths at financier-owned homes.”
Private equity should not be allowed near health care and long term carel
"We here at Bank of America remember a time when a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's approval. Wouldn't that be fun again?"
White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
Yeah, as I've been saying, we overcompensated because the media ran with the stupid 'GDP per capita' and 'immigrants hurt housing' framing. This is long-run damage to the economy by short-term thinking, feeding xenophobia, and helping to further destroy Canada's world class universities.
Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives.
It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21
To be very clear: Kennedy's team is messing with a vaccine which has led to a 99 percent drop in the incidence of hepatitis B, which kills, early and painfully, 25 percent of the children who get it.
This is how a health system burns to the ground. How Alberta's dual practice plan would drain hospital staff and delay lifesaving care, by Dr. Paul Parks canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/11/28/t... via @canadahealthwatch.ca @nicktsergas.ca

“My own experience prescribing puberty blockers has demonstrated enormous psycho-social benefits in youth who feel a quiet desperation watching their bodies change in ways they can’t control […] A puberty blocker provides them with a pause […] with no effects on fertility, and is 100% reversible.”
Did you know Makary is using 45 year old, 34 year old, and 29 year old observational studies to spread disinformation about MHT? Ignoring newer, far better quality data is misogyny open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...
Ontario's hospitals have been starved to the point of collapse, but sure, find more savings because Doug Ford refuses to fund the system adequately.
Just appalling.
Doug Ford taking over our democratically elected school board trustees is yet another infringement of our democratic rights and very Trump like. Slowly, like waves eroding a beach.
Deachman: Speed cameras aren't the enemy Doug Ford makes them out to be ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...
OF COURSE SPEED CAMERAS WORK! There’s clear evidence of that. They save lives, and removing them will costs lives, including KIDS’ LIVES. The narrative of “cash grab” is a political tactic. Every dollar raised by such cameras is evidence of too much deadly speeding and the need for such cameras.
