I offer my prayers and best wishes to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his election, an historic day for Catholics and all who look to the Vatican for guidance. At a time of global challenges, may his pontificate carry forward a mission of solidarity, compassion, and dignity for all.

Mahli on measles in this CBC. Upshot? No need to panic, the shots work and are safe.

Born 1970-1996? You likely need a second shot.

Unvaccinated kids are at highest risk. If you've been reluctant to get your kids vaccinated, now is the time to get it done.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency

One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos…

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

Tuberculosis rates in Saskatchewan are high.

And when it comes to Pediatric TB in Sask, we have similar rates to Lesotho (in Africa) according to Dr. Mahli Brindamour.

Children getting TB in this country, in this province, in 2025… it’s a failure of our health system.

There is much work to do.

The tariffs being paused is good news for Canada and Canadian workers.

It means standing up to Donald Trump’s threats is working.

But his threats won’t stop.

We need to make our economy less reliant on unreliable allies.

We need to buy Canadian and build Canadian to create good jobs here.

The best kind of patriotism is the kind that says “this is my place so I will care for it and make it the best I can” rather than “this is the best place because I’m from here.” That’s the love Canadians should have for Canada.
