I participated in the first AMP cohort last year, and strongly recommend it to anyone looking for some practical advocacy skills relevant to planetary health.

If you followed me during the pandemic it was likely because I didn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. Climate will effect health far more profoundly than Covid ever did. The old ways got us here. We must change or be changed.

Had fun presenting an update on #Afib to joint @CalgaryMedicine @LibinInstitute Grand Rounds this morning. Thanks to @chandramthomas for the invitation and @doreen_rabi for the great questions on social determinants of AF! My son sent this as encouragement-was much friendlier!

A $7 billion wildfire in Fort McMurray.
A $9 billion flood in BC.
Climate change is not some distant future problem, it's here, and Canadians are already feeling its cost.
A real plan on climate change is a plan to ensure life stays affordable for Canadians families.
Great Op-Ed by a physician leader. Climate change is a global public health emergency. When will we start acting like it? cbc.ca/news/opinion/opinion-…
