Provincial registration determines who is authorized to practise psychology.
But when a psychologist registered in another province moves to Ontario, the same title may reflect different education and supervised-training requirements. So, what does that title tell patients and families about the preparation behind it?
Watch my new video: Different Pathways, One Title: A National Credential for Psychologists in Canada.

Last year, Australia became the first country in the world to force many social media companies to prevent children from having accounts. There are high stakes for children as well as big tech’s bottom line.

The 2026 Poppy Campaign officially begins tomorrow! And there's no better way to mark the occasion than going to see the Poppy Drop display cascade down the Senate building.
Join us tomorrow for the annual display. From October 24 - November 11, digital Poppies will cascade down the Senate building to honour the fallen who fought for our freedom. The virtual wall of honour will also be displayed on one of the columns of the Senate.
The Poppy Drop displays will run every evening from 6:30 - 9:30 pm ET except for November 10th and 11th, when they will run until midnight ET.

From our family to yours, thank you 🇨🇦❤️
We are deeply moved by the support Canadians across the country have shown for our fallen and injured soldiers. On Wednesday, as 3 PPCLI soldiers returned to their garrison in Edmonton, Albertans lined the highway to show their support.

World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

🦧🦦 A Belgian zoo introduced a gang of otters to its orangutans to keep them from getting bored. And then all hell broke loose!
At Pairi Daiza Zoo in Belgium, staff came up with an unusual idea: let a family of Asian small-clawed otters share a habitat with the giant ginger orangutans.
And it turned out to be a brilliant idea! The little furry troublemakers started climbing out of the water, pestering the orangutans, and challenging them to play. And the orangutans happily joined in!
An orangutan named Ujian and his son Berani became especially close friends with the otters.
In 2020, photos of this adorable and unlikely friendship went viral around the world.
Misdiagnosis costs more than time and money.
It can delay appropriate care, disrupt identity, and deepen uncertainty.
Christina Applegate’s account highlights why diagnostic accuracy matters and the need for support when a diagnosis changes.

Now with the full return of measles to America we’ll need to find ways to protect infants 5-11 months not yet old enough to receive their first dose of MMR vaccine. In low income countries with lots of measles transmission they recommend a dose at 6 months and then again at 12 months and a third dose by age 5. We’re pretty much at that tipping point here’s my article @AnnalsofIM acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…
Protect your baby from measles with 2 doses of measles vaccine.
1️⃣ In countries where measles is common, it is vital to give the first dose around 9 months of age; in other countries, at 12-15 months of age.
2️⃣ Give the second dose later in childhood to ensure full protection.
Remember: Infants can be vaccinated around 6 months of age if there is an outbreak or before travel to endemic countries.

Nobody knows what to do': How Long COVID left Physics Girl searching for answers
But on her honeymoon in Scotland, her big year got hit with what seemed like a minor snag. She got COVID-19.
"The typical symptoms," she said, "like a sore throat and a cough and a stuffy nose. But it wasn't anything alarming."
"I just deteriorated," she said. "First I couldn't run, I couldn't hike. And then I couldn't work, and then I couldn't walk anymore, and I became bedbound. And then I couldn't speak, and then I couldn't read or use my phone."
Eventually, she was confined to her bed in a dark room, wearing dark glasses and noise-cancelling headphones to "take away every environmental stimulus."

An emergency nurse is a rare breed and cannot be simply replaced by a primary care nurse practitioner. Can we please get this through our thick heads - a nurse is not a nurse and is not a nurse. Same, same but diufferent!
Sending best wishes to Christina Applegate.
A changed diagnosis doesn’t erase real symptoms - or their impact on daily life. For people seeking answers about immune-related illness, uncertainty can be exhausting.
Everyone deserves compassion, care and support.

Our hearts are heavy.
The West Vancouver Police Department is deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life and significant injuries sustained by Canadian Armed Forces members impacted by the devastating incident at CFB Wainwright.

NYT Today: Any SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger Long COVlD. Getting reinfected in perpetuity is like playing "Russian Roulette."
ALT Long Covid as Russian Roulette Doctors tend to be more concerned about the chance that someone will develop long Covid from repeated infections than they are that a person will get very sick in the acute phase of the illness. Covid can cause long-term damage to nearly every part of the body and repeated cases can compound those harms. A number of studies have shown that each time someone contracts Covid introduces an opportunity to develop long-term symptoms. Researchers often compare it to Russian roulette: Any infection could be the one that leads to long Covid. “Every time there’s a wave, there’s another wave that’s going to follow with patients developing new onset long Covid,” said Akiko Iwasaki, an immunologist at Yale University.
