For the first time, there is a federal minimum on the amount of care nursing home residents get every day. I talked to experts and workers about what that means and why it matters. 19thnews.org/2024/04/nursin…
Are clinicians & caregivers on the same page when it comes to #deprescribing in nursing home residents near the end-of-life? This interview study highlights key themes: buff.ly/3UajvrX Resources to improve caregiver involvement: buff.ly/416wOM9 @CLRI_LTC
"Private equity ownership turns health care from a social good into a financial asset, extracting wealth for investors. There is no evidence that private equity ownership leads to systematic improvements in care." from CDM's @DanyaalRaza @karenpalmeryvr thestar.com/opinion/contri…
CEO @LisaLevin1 and member homes Villa Colombo and @IvanFrankoHomes addressed the unintended consequence of Bill 7 on cultural homes in this insightful @globalnewsto piece by @allisonjones_cp. Read more here: tinyurl.com/culturalLTC #onpoli @StanChoMPP
“Nursing homes have quietly become dumping grounds for people with developmental disabilities." #PWD have the right to live where/with whom they want, & to live independently in community. A nursing home or other similar institution is not the place. 1/2 thestar.com/opinion/contri…
I spent a lot of time on this piece and everything I learned made me more mad. The Ford government is giving even more money to long-term-care operators facing lawsuits for negligence. Inside a twisted tale that will lead to disaster thestar.com/business/opini… via @TorontoStar
A new systematic review analyzing care outcomes in long-term care, found 62% of included studies demonstrated disparities in care outcomes for minoritized groups. bruyere.org/en/Blog/care-r…
Caregivers are pivotal, contributing 4.2% to Canada's GDP and 32.2% to national healthcare expenditures. Let's recognize their economic impact this #NationalCaregiverDay carerscanada.ca/national-careg… #NationalCaregiverDay #ValuingCaring
Today's @TorontoStar op-ed from @DrGorfinkel and me on the vicious cycle of #ONpoli privatization ❗️Worsening hospital staff shortages ❗️Longer waits ❗️Lower quality care ❗️Higher cost to taxpayers ❗️No contract transparency ❗️Upselling & two-tier care ❗️Eroding public trust
Spoken like someone who is painfully ignorant of Canada's long tradition of dependence on migrant health care workers. In many provinces, half of all LTC workers are migrants. In a recent study, 97% of PSWs in Toronto were migrants. Migrants are the backbone of health care.

Today is the International Day to End Racial Discrimination. To address racial injustice Ontario must extend public health coverage to all regardless of their immigration status. Jose is an undocumented construction worker. This is his story. Share it widely #Healthcare4All

"The investigation revealed an industry that places a premium on cost cutting and big profits, with low staffing and poor quality, often to the detriment of patient well-being." A cautionary tale on the profitization of health care. #cdnhealth theconversation.com/profits-over-p…
I came across something very cool today: a cycling group that visits long-term care homes and takes residents for a bike ride. It’s called Cycling Without Age. Today, they were conducting trial run in the West End. #VanPoli

Why is Ontario embracing private health care? The Scandinavian experience shows it hurts. We need to prevent the further erosion of access to care while public funds enrich — and embolden — private investors. #Opinion by @ArmineYalnizyan trib.al/2ZsHte0
You should give a s h i t about this thread—so I can keep taking one. 🚽💁🏻♀️ This is what my Disabled life looks like behind-the-scenes. My everyday life is unconventional & vulnerable by design. My existence is contingent upon carework.

Criminalizing drug use isn't about rehabilitation it's about incarceration! Using catch phrase slogans to simplify substance use disorders isn't helpful. How are you bringing our loved ones home drug free? How many people stay sober after completing treatment? Without having…
Trudeau/NDP decriminalized public use of crack, heroin & fentanyl, which brought crime, chaos, drugs & disorder to our streets. Common sense Conservatives are calling for an emergency debate to end this radical policy and bring our loved ones home drug-free.
My 2 Cents: If you use JT’s Blackface against Trudeau regularly but also won’t denounce PP meeting with known White Supremacists. That’s hypocrisy. If this is you, you don’t actually think blackface is bad. You just like that it makes JT look bad.

Christian nationalists Steve Cruz and Ben Zeisloft agree that any woman who gets an abortion "should be killed": "She should be tried and convicted; dig a hole and put her down."

If this guy becomes Prime Minister we can expect a massive drug war crackdown. More cops. More arrests, More prisons built. No decrim. No safer supply. No mushroom dispensaries. The result will be even more deaths, more disorder, and less freedom for everyone.

1/n This is antivaccine conspiracy nonsense. The facts + supporting documents: 1. Covid 19 the virus = a thromboembolic virus and cause of coronary heart disease 2. Staying up to date with your Covid vaccinations/boosters = an important way to protect your heart health.
The MSM is still censoring these reports and silencing the voices of the injured. I will help amplify them.
Adam, if you and the "six addiction physicians" who collaborated with you so convinced of your analysis, why not submit it for peer-review with @bmj_latest, rather than posting it on a niche blog?
Nice try, Gillian, but the underlying data from that study actually showed that safer supply has a statistically insignificant impact on mortality. Unfortunately, the study authors, whose research ethics are as good as yours, cherry-picked their data to dramatically inflate…
A nice example of disinformation on safer supply in action. A strong study did in fact show safer supply significantly reduced both overdose & all-cause mortality. It was peer-reviewed & published in one of the most rigorous medical journals. This hand-waving doesn’t negate that.
The aggregate data shows that safer supply leads to no statistically significant reductions in morality — but researchers unethically reframed this data to deceptively inflate positive results. You can read my essay on this here: thehub.ca/2024-02-01/ada….
COVID had a higher risk of adverse health outcomes in all organ systems than flu except for the pulmonary system. COVID is more multi-systemic but less respiratory than Flu. This wasn't just found in the early variants of COVID but also the more recent Omicron variants. 9/
Actor @TheElliotPage on Danielle Smith's anti-trans policies: "First of all, it’s awful,” Page said about Alberta’s policies. “It’s harmful. It stems from misinformation and lies about our healthcare, about our lives and who we are." calgaryherald.com/entertainment/…
