John Kelly, the longest-serving White House chief of staff for Donald Trump, rips his former boss: “What can I add that has not already been said? A person that thinks those who defend their country in uniform, or are shot down or seriously wounded in combat, or spend years being tortured as POWs are all ‘suckers’ because ‘there is nothing in it for them… A person that has no idea what America stands for and has no idea what America is all about… A person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. There is nothing more that can be said. God help us.”

I don’t agree with Nikki Haley on everything, but we agree on this much: She is not Nancy Pelosi.

Ontario needs family doctors. Lots of them. But a lot of new med school grads would rather be doing something else. So what's the answer? More w/ @FMChairChief at @SchulichMedDent at 8:10. #ldnont

30 years of clinical practice has taught me that some people benefit from some drugs some of the time and some don't, and the best, perhaps only way to learn is by having continuity of care so you're around to see the consequences
