“As on so many fronts, Canada has convinced itself it doesn’t need to contribute to the world because America is doing our work for us.”
Ooof. I didn’t know much about RCI. The way it distinctly connected CA with the world, evaded blocking by restrictive govs to get news out is as relevant as ever.

Pharmacists are the best!

There needs to be more integration of primary care training, sure, but I’d say most of our non-primary care roles require skill in team based care. Bridging knowledge gaps about and between health professionals is critical, supports integrated care, and benefits providers and patients.

IME - Allied health are absent, excluded from or siloed in these spaces, or the physician/leadership lacks understanding of how OUR roles work and can support care. Under-utilized for sure! Like an after thought rather than a key component of supporting someone’s complex, unique health care needs.

Are you okay with being up all night with raging guts? Have any lactaid?! All answers point to grilled cheese.

So frustrating and will have implications for student and family wellbeing, plus cost more down the line. Cited resources (food prog, MSDPR) don’t address the more varied financial needs of students to equitably participate at school. 📚 The Fund met needs with more privacy, less stigma, more flex.

This is a great piece, thank you.

A beautiful thing. What was the best part? The dough or the filling? I could crush some samosas right now.

I didn’t know about the practice of common lease expiration dates! “Moving is suffering but when everyone else is moving too, that’s not so bad.” A co-worker lives in Montréal and they and their roommates are so chill about moving today. I wonder if this is part of it.

Both teen me and adult me love to see this. 🍉🏳️‍⚧️💓 / 🚫🧊

I’m looking forward (?) to an update and overview of the current state. Just a few years ago there was a previous surge. There was evidence of it in the Valley, too.

Oooh I look forward to this. There is so much US discussion on the topic and Canadians feel so removed and above the US far-right antics they see. Like, no.

Oh you’re right, that hadn’t been the case in the orgs I searched, but I switched to a municipal one and it listed earnings broadly. Yeah, this doc without further interpretation is kind of 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s just the earners who make $75k or more.

Ooh I wish I saw this earlier! This would be great!
