CCRAN Cancer Coach @steveslacker waited months for biomarker test results that helped guide his colon cancer treatment. We stand with Steve and the @MLPAOnews in calling for Ontario to invest in its labs and reduce wait times.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Canadian Resistance Army - Lake Ontario
#CanadaUnited #CanadaGeese #DonaldsDucks #USA

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

"The first emotion I feel is frustration about the issues raised in this discussion — decision-makers who don't believe the data, healthcare silos, and individual jurisdictions. What I'm gathering is that there needs to be a national coming-together, with a comprehensive approach to how these decisions are made. At the end of the day, it's not fair." — @steveslacker, Patient

"I had to come home and tell my kids. It was the worst day of my life." - @steveslacker
CCRAN welcomes the Canadian Cancer Society’s support for lowering the crc screening age. For years, CCRAN has advocated for earlier screening as colorectal cancer rises among young adults.
