Doug Ford says that 50% of ER visits are a waste because people should just visit their family doctor. 12% of Ontario citizens don't have a family doctor, and Doug Ford re-introduced sick notes when he was elected, which creates up to 12.5 million unnecessary

All of Ontarios medical schools except McMaster require Canadian citizenship or landed immigrant status to apply. It’s gaslighting on an epic scale and few newspapers bothered to fact check.

1/There has been a flood of articles about Ontario's new #MAID data and reports released by the coroner this week, most of it based on "leaked" data in an AP article and people who don't know how to analyze observational data.
Here's a 🧵 with the highlights from the report.

One of the many ways that Trump harmed America was he made the country more rude and obnoxious. His constant vulgarity and pugnaciousness gave people permission to be awful. And sadly, not just MAGAs. Studies have shown we are all meaner and more hurtful to each other. Trump opened the door to that and the pandemic exacerbated it. It's made life harder for many of us. Try to keep yourselves from behaving like that.

Ignore Lilley, read Moscrop.
The Ford government gets deservedly taken out to the woodshed in this piece by @David_Moscrop.

So, Lanark County is now facing a Coronial crisis not of their making.
The Office of the Chief Coroner has demanded that every Coroner commit to being on call for absolutely no compensation. None. Nil. Zilch.

Too many women aged 40-49 are refused a mammo requisition in provinces where you need one. It's time for @cantaskforce to provide clear messaging to Fam Docs and NPs: the choice to screen is a woman's. The message has been lost! healthydebate.ca/2023/06/top…

Providing healthcare coverage to those uninsured was a great decision.
400,000 services were provided by 7000 MDs to patients in need, many of whom qualify for OHIP but barriers prevent them from getting a card.
The program should be continued and improved upon, not cancelled.
Retweet this if you think the Ontario government should immediately reverse their cuts to healthcare for uninsured people. #Healthcare4All

Only 260 family medicine spots unmatched...
This should be of significant concern at a gov't level.
Primary care matters.
But tbh as I watch my wife and my dad, both family MDs, work late into the evening to "catch up" on paperwork...the # of spots unmatched isn't surprising
Unfilled positions from the 1st iteration of the 2023 R-1 Match have now been posted. Access them here bit.ly/3JWwSHd #CaRMSMatch

Wake up call for Family Medicine in 🇨🇦.
Oodles of unmatched residency spots.
Hope it’s not writing on the wall. We need to decide what we value. And fast.

My 6 years with @FoodForThePoorC was so rewarding. Great Board colleagues, Exec Director @MahfoodSamantha, a small, but mighty staff and above all, generous donors. We are small enough that every dollar counts…but with a network that gives us great project delivery leverage
At the AGM next week we say goodbye to 3 board members. @scshanno Brett Miller and @Robert1Ready have been passionate and worked for families in the Caribbean and Latin America for 6 years (FFPC's Maximum term). A strong board is key!Thank you!

BREAKING: The Russian embassy in Ireland desperately complains to the Irish government that its bank accounts got shut down and it is running out of water and heating because banks and companies are boycotting them over Ukraine. RT IF YOU FEEL ZERO PITY FOR THE RUSSIAN EMBASSY!

So let me get this straight: The Canadian women's hockey team wore N95 masks while easily beating Russia 6-1 at the Olympics...but some people are so inconvenienced by having to wear a mask that they're holding the city of Ottawa under siege & claiming it's all about "freedom?"
