Danielle Smith asked the Trump administration to influence our elections to help elect Pierre Poilievre, because he would be better aligned with a country trying to destroy us. It's more than dumb politics: It's a genuinely dangerous moment for Canada. thestar.com/politics/polit…

Last month there was an announcement that I thought was a major advancement in world health, but it got little attention. I thought I would tell you all a little bit about it and why it is so important. 1/25

Measles cases in Ontario have passed 900 so far in 2025, far exceeding the annual totals recorded over the past decade. The measles vaccine is highly effective at preventing infection, widely available at no cost, and backed by decades of safety data.

Ho-ly… In a video posted to YouTube, former Alberta CMOH Dr Mark Joffe did an hour long Grand Round presentation followed by a Q&A. It is a masterclass in what measles is and what Alberta should be doing. Thread! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #abmed /1
