I've started a FB Group called 'Ontario Language Curriculum (2023)'. It's a great place to ask questions, share insights and collaborate on strategies for implementing the new curriculum in our classrooms. Here's the link: facebook.com/groups/language…

Hey @ONeducation, excited about the new language curriculum! Any chance a downloadable PDF will be available soon? And extra time would really help us ensure a successful implementation. #OntarioEducation #LanguageCurriculum #OntEd #OnPoli #EduOnt

On this #Doctorsday, I'm grateful to my physician colleagues who care so deeply for their work, and their family members who support them behind-the-scenes. @ontariosdoctors
And @Brenebrown, FYI, my 9 yo daughter thinks you're onto something 🙃
I'm also proud of how you tirelessly advocated for him. He's thriving now in large part because of your effort. ❤️
On the eve of #bullyingpreventionweek, I proudly remember my son's bravery in speaking out about his experiences with bullying and I am so grateful for all of the support we've received since.

‘We are facing a crisis’ — Kitchener doctor taking on challenge of family physician shortage
therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
Very proud of @MKumananMD as she takes on this role. I’m confident she’ll have a positive impact on our health care system.
The new president of the @OntarioCollege of Family Physicians is Cambridge's @MKumananMD. She joins me tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 7:10 @CBCKW891 to talk about her new role, the state of family doctor availability in Ontario, and more.

Thank you, @picardonhealth and @liamdevlincasey for raising awareness about this important issue. We need to address the crisis in family medicine. @tara_kiran @OntarioCollege

One in five Ontarians could soon be without a family doctor, by @PremjiKamila @MKumananMD theglobeandmail.com/opinion/… via @GlobeDebate #onpoli #cdnhealth
Our 8-year-old daughter has been keenly interested in the #OntarioElection2022 election, especially after learning more about the @OntarioGreens. This morning…
8 yo: Who won?
Me: #DougFord.
8 yo: (pause) When’s the next election?

I enjoy seeing fireworks. I don’t even mind that they sometimes start as I’m falling asleep. But I do struggle with doing things simply because of tradition. Fireworks the day after some people lost their lives and so much damage was done by an unbelievable storm seems wrong.

Family docs are the glue that healthcare systems rely on to keep things together, even when they feel like they might fall apart. To @MKumananMD (the glue that holds our family together!) and all family docs, Happy World Family Doctor Day! @OntarioCollege #WorldFamilyDoctorDay

To all the amazing doctors who serve our communities, thank you for your dedication and tireless effort. And to my wife, @MKumananMD, I see daily how much you care for your patients. I am beyond proud. #DoctorsDay @OntarioCollege @FamPhysCan @TwoRiversFHT

On this #DayofPink I am so proud of my son for taking a stand against bullying and I am grateful for the support we have received since he did. Please always remember to be an #Ally when you witness bullying - it makes such a difference. @vaillancourt_dr

Saw this photo in today’s @globeandmail. So much respect for the people in Ukraine who continue to show incredible resiliency. That tape seems so symbolic. #IStandWithUkraine️

7-year-old's perspective on navigating our health care system and the important role the family physician plays. Also can't forget about the mommies and daddies! #familydocsrock @OntarioCollege @kidsmentalhlth

Let's not squander these two weeks.
Vaccination can help minimize disruption once in person school resumes:
-set goal of administering 3rd shots to all education/daycare workers, bus drivers, support staff by Jan 17. Make them a priority.
-promote 5-11 getting 1st & 2nd shots
This is sad. Ontario needs to do better.
Could not be a bigger contrast between Quebec and Ontario announcements today. Legault himself speaking at length about all the issues (excellent communicator), curfew at 9pm enforced by police (fines in thousands), schools closed until Jan 17th, all theatres/restaurants closed.
