Thanks @CanPaedSociety, CPSP and Dr. Stephanie Lim-Reinders for supporting this work on child maltreatment during the pandemic, in the context of virtual care. Children/youth will see & feel the effects of this pandemic for years to come. @mgkward @CHEO @OttCommPedsNet

It’s clear that Ottawa has a special place in Ryan's heart – and in his honour, I’ll be bringing forward a motion later today to have a street named after him. Ryan Reynolds Way will be located in a new subdivision in the east end. Look forward to seeing it open soon!

The @CanPaedSociety joins the entire child health community in mourning the loss of a beloved member, Dr Richard Goldbloom. His impact on children, families, and paediatrics was immeasurable, as were his warmth, humour and generosity. 1/2 cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scot…

I will amplify this as often as I can,..
the rates of myocarditis are incredibly low with Pfizer, the myocarditis is nearly always v mild, and it is absolutely safer than COVID, which causes much higher rates of myocarditis

R/T if you will join me in keeping an eye on whoever wins the election tomorrow to make sure they implement the TRC Calls to Action and the MMIWG Calls for Justice. If they don't do it- let's make them famous for it and vote them out of office at the first opportunity.
