1/There has been a flood of articles about Ontario's new #MAID data and reports released by the coroner this week, most of it based on "leaked" data in an AP article and people who don't know how to analyze observational data. Here's a 🧵 with the highlights from the report.

Incredible day for forensic psychiatry here, and academic forensic psychiatry of the future. Thank you feels a very small response to Bruce and his family, but we are deeply grateful. The McKeans are remarkable people.

Unfortunately re-learning the lessons of the '60s & '70s when hallucinogen use was clearly identified as a risk factor for schizophrenia. These data show that for some people any hallucinogen use is unsafe, and yet rate of use recently has doubled especially among younger people.

Thank you Mary Davoren 💙. Important to think about the value of Enlightenment ideals, whilst also acknowledging the evils of Empire and the slave trade. Principles of fairness, justice, imperialism, reason, liberty, and prosperity that come from Hume and Smith deserve discussion.
