It’s okay to rest. The world is unravelling.

Occasionally, I’m moved to write an essay about the stuff I’m preoccupied with. During the pandemic, so many of the people I care about needed permission to take a break from *everything.* To keep going, sometimes you need to stand still. medium.com/@sophienadea...
I like to call my gym routine - well, to be fair, all the ways I take care of myself at 50 - my favourite infrastructure project. There’s no glamour in the daily promises you keep to yourself but the strength part (mental & physical) is definitely cumulative. Keep going 🖤

A little louder for the folks in the back. I ran to get my daughter this vaccine and you should too. Any woman who’s been through cervical cancer stuff can tell you exactly why.
A killer disease that should no longer exist. The existence of an effective HPV vaccine should have meant cervical cancer was stamped out. Instead, it’s the fastest growing cancer in Canada. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... via @theglobeandmail.com

So terrible. More important than ever that Canada beef up its health communications to protect Canadians.
U.S. CDC C.D.C. Changes Website to Reflect Kennedy’s Vaccine Skepticism. A previous version denied a link between vaccines and autism. It now echoes the doubts about that conclusion voiced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/h... via @nytimes.com

Canada Makes Trade Between Its Provinces Easier to Reduce Reliance on US
Canada and its 13 provinces and territories agreed to knock down more hurdles to trading internally, as the country tries to reduce its reliance on the US amid a punishing trade war.

Yes! If you’re working to fight misinfo like we are, you can’t play by the salacious rules of wild algorithmic success because if you did you’d be feeding into the systemic mess. Healthy content development demands of us to see value and impact differently. www.linkedin.com/pulse/maybe-...
Maybe some things are valuable even if they don't produce engagement?
I want to talk about engagement. In journalism nowadays we are obsessed with it.

Misinformation has real consequences. The U.S. had long been the global leader in funding research like this. The potential for cancer treatment here is spectacular but if no one funds the research we’re stuck www.scientificamerican.com/article/pers...
Personalized Cancer Vaccines Are Almost Here—But Federal Funding Cuts Could Derail Them
Vaccines based on mRNA can be tailored to target a cancer patient’s unique tumor mutations. But crumbling support for cancer and mRNA vaccine research has endangered this promising therapy

Doctors across Canada are deeply concerned that the #Alberta government’s proposed private care plan will leave more Albertans waiting even longer to access health care. The CMA is calling on the government to reconsider this proposal, and focus on known solutions to support public health care.

It’s that time of year when it gets tough for a lot of folks. As a person who’s worked hard on their mental health, I can tell you chasing the light works. Drop everything for sun. Move, walk especially when you don’t want to. Get a sunrise clock & LED mood lights for your home. Keep going 🖤

This is so interesting. If you manage people, you need to read this. A lot of folks are not doing okay and supporting people in this moment in time is so important.
Two thirds of Canadians say they are focused on basic or safety needs. Not ambition. Not achievement. Survival.
This shift is driving polarization and mistrust. Leaders need a new playbook.
I lay it out here.
