Prevention through food security and other supports for the Social Determinants of Health or more money for expensive treatments?
I am looking forward to being in Montreal for the Canadian Public Health Association conference this week!
Happy first day of the rest of 364.25 days a year Women’s rights and equality matter!
We are failing kids. And it breaks my heart.

Refusing to build supportive housing for those who would otherwise be homeless means more unhoused people living on our streets and in our parks, AND much higher public costs paid by all of us. It’s as simple as that. #UrbanTruth
This will compound and affect a whole generation, already struggling with an affordability crisis.
I’m soooo surprised (not). My first project about a public health issue was on problem gambling back in 9th grade.
The issue is that problem gambling doesn’t just impact the gambler, but people and family around them.

Local Massachusetts weekly says it's confirmed that the Pentagon was relying on Claude for strike targeting, which is how they came to bomb a girls' school.

What six Iranians in Canada are feeling, in their own words

Don’t look up
Every normal person who talked to Epstein seemed to quickly realize there was something really wrong with him. It's a theme with these stories.
How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist.
It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.
Color photograph of the Peterborough Lift Lock showing the massive concrete and steel structure from ground level. The elevated lock chamber is supported by tall concrete towers and steel framing. A cylindrical hydraulic ram is visible beneath the structure. A Canadian flag flies atop a small tower on the right. In the foreground are paved ground, a railing with a few people walking, a planter with greenery, and a small red-and-white booth. Trees with green foliage line the left side under a clear blue sky.
At a time when most lift locks rose two metres, the Peterborough Lift Lock was a marvel of engineering.
Capable of moving boats 20 metres in the air, it remains in use to this day as a vital link on the Trent-Severn Waterway.
So, let's learn more about it!

Harm reduction at its most basic is love ❤️
Harm reduction, including supervised consumption approaches make economic sense and also human, moral, sense. Harm reduction is to see people as complicated and still love them and help reduce their harm.
We don’t turn away the lung cancer overwhelmingly caused by 🚬 , we help and treat the illness and the person as whole complicated people in a complicated world.
We normalize and even see governments increasingly encouraging 🍷 despite it being one of the most costly burdens on the healthcare system
It also highlights the stigma of using one substance vs others.
Despite a far higher burden and costs of tobacco and alcohol, we don’t have any qualms treating those harms as health issues.

Yes. This. Except unsupervised = unsupported. Alone = no chance for help. Help that might save a life or change a life. There should be support across the political spectrum for this lifesaving approach.
No supervised consumption sites?
Then every alley, park, and bathroom becomes one!
It's just that simple.

Never think that war,
no matter how necessary,
nor how justified,
is not a crime.
-- Hemingway
We don’t have conversations about whether we can trust big tobacco to navigate lines of public safety, we regulate them.
The question shouldn’t be IF AI companies should be regulated, but HOW they should be in order to urgently protect the public in numerous ways, Tumbler Ridge but one tragic example.
But I think the question should be: can we trust AI companies to navigate the line between greed and public good/safety.
The protection of privacy is the front for profit-seeking greed.
Just like other profit-seeking greed the public policy approach is appropriate regulation and guardrails.
No.
Or maybe even aspire for better
Canada is only 2/3. Let’s keep it that way 🏥4️⃣all
