imposing permanent daylight saving time that messes with our circadian rhythms, not following evidence-based responses to our toxic drug crisis like safe supply, failure to ensure a basic living income for all, so everyone can afford housing & food

It's hard to believe politicians are earnest about fixing healthcare when they keep adding to the pile of chronic morbidity: burning fossil fuels, worsening air pollution, fueling wildfires, letting airborne infections spread in healthcare & schools...

We need more doctors and we should publicly fund psychologists and other providers of mental health care. Again, the chart: cmha.ca/what-we-do/s...
Investment in mental health as % of overall healthcare budget
Canada (average) 6.3%
United Kingdom 9%
Sweden 9%
Germany 11%
France 15%
Mental health care is grossly underfunded, and mental health is often a privilege available only to those who can afford it

Today the Justice Minister is addressing the issue - imo it must involve Health and Finance because we must increase public funding for mental health. Physicians like me provide care with no patient cost but, with too few of us, most patients must pay. Canadian funding: cmha.ca/what-we-do/s...

"holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable." As a former communications person, more of this whole message below everywhere please. It's simple, memorable, and cuts right to the heart of the matter when discussing AI regulation.

If we had a federal government that wasn't firmly up the ass of Big AI, they'd make it a crime for an AI to put people in mortal danger by sending them into wilderness areas with fictional instructions. If a human kept doing this, they'd probably go to jail, even under existing laws.

Ford got caught handing out millions to well-connected insiders and Conservative donors. Now he's adding paperwork to make it look better. But the hidden truth is that the minister's office still picks the winners. Until that changes, expect more of the same.

This is just unbelievable. And a lot these injured are officers. When I was injured in Afghanistan, they had me at Bagram in less than 2-hours where I was stabilized and I landed in Germany 18 hours later. That's fast. I never had to think "what do I do next?", I just had to meet the schedule.

That message has to be linked to all the damage being done to middle and lower class Americans. Money is flowing out of the pockets of everyday Americans and into the pockets of oligarchs, billionaires, friends, allies and families of the President.

I have serious concerns about how the Democrats and most media are normalizing these US midterms, prioritizing issues like affordability. The elephant in the room is the emergence of an authoritarian and corrupt RW President and oligarchy working to fundamentally destroy the American democracy.

Oh, sweet jeebuz, CLEAN THE AIR already. 🤬 It's not rocket science. Ventilation (even open windows). Air filtration at building scale (e.g., higher MERV in HVAC), room scale (portable air cleaners), and even personal scale (masks). Maybe also stop withholding pediatric virus testing 🤬

Everyone should be fighting for Universal Healthcare and disability rights. Health is fragile. You can become disabled or chronically ill in an instant. It’s not a moral failing. It can wipe out your savings and leave you destitute. Healthcare is a basic human right.

2/ The words ‘mental health’ evoke the idea that it’s making people feel happier but it’s much more serious: mental health is an umbrella term for a large number diagnoses -many are lethal if untreated. Funding mental health saves lives. #cdnpoli #healthcare globalnews.ca/news/1208523...
