Discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability cannot be assessed without historical analysis. Historical impacts and outcomes are why those forms of discrimination exist.
Celebrating our incredible pediatric residents & fellows 🌟
Your leadership, dedication to research & teaching, and excellence in care have a tremendous impact on patients, families & our community at McMaster.
Thank you for all you do 💙

Happy to see CPS x.com/CanPaedSociety slowly move the needle on the topic of supporting children impacted by armed conflict, that is very relevant and has been for a long time cps.ca/en/documents... It builds on statements made previously cps.ca/en/media/cps...
In March 2024 I posed the following: "The least our health leaders could do is call out that this is not all right and affirm the need for a permanent ceasefire. It is unfortunate that many of them won’t even say Gaza..." The call has yet to be answered.

It seems that 20 months of witnessing the intentional killing of innocent children, men and women is what it took for some people to finally conclude that what is happening to Palestinians is wrong. Remember the saying that "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere".
