Involuntary treatment is not appropriate intervention. Calling it "compassionate" and a "lifeline" runs counter to the evidence. Marketing over medicine. Compassionate intervention is the lifeline Canada’s addiction crisis needs ipolitics.ca/opinions/compa… via @ipoliticsca

I’ve been scared to speak up more about Gaza. I feel unburdened to share I’ve been targeted & disparaged, as a Black woman physician, by nefarious forces within medicine, because of my pro-humanity stance, but NO MORE. I CANNOT be more scared than Palestinians in this moment.

So, so many signatures from health practitioners in support of #CTS from around Ontario, including Waterloo region. May Doug Ford Sylvia Jones soon reverse their diabolical plan to let actual constituents actually die.

Yesterday, Ontario turned back the clock to the stone age in terms of public health measures. This legislation will kill people and we will all see the consequences. More overdoses, more deaths, more unsafe public drug use. globalnews.ca/news/10875443/… #onpoli
