The healthcare community is in mourning today! #RIP Maureen Ambersley, a frontline nurse who worked in #LTC at Extendicare Mississauga, has died of #COVID19. Her colleagues say her death was preventable & the result of ongoing policy failures. We need change now! 💔💔💔

It is so important to have this breakthrough in #Oregon. In Canada, we must use this result to push for similar legislation. Criminalizing people for drug possession has never reduced drug use and has deadly “unintended” consequences. @MySafeProject

The onus should not be on Canadians to ask for the same clinician or care team, to repeat traumatic stories at each point of care, or to compile tomes of health info to bring to appointments. Continuity matters. I wrote why @HealthyDebate. healthydebate.ca/opinions/to…

Another cry for help. Another person killed by the police. His name was Ejaz Choudry. He should have been helped not killed. We need healthcare workers responding to people in healthcare crisis NOT the police.

My latest blog. We need income and social assistance policies that allow people to thrive - not just survive - if we want to be more resilient to covid-19. The new normal should mean ending the old ways that made our society weaker. Time to rethink. wellesleyinstitute.com/healt…
