We talk a lot about ACL tears in female sports, what we don't discuss are the long-term consequences If you live in BC 🇨🇦 & struggling after an ACL reconstruction, this clinical trial may be a good fit bit.ly/ACLRScreen shireenahmed.bsky.social Devin Heroux SHE scores bangers

I think MIB are great, I also think the Women’s game is great, but partnering with an American network to tell the story of Canadians is a let down. Many talented outlets and minds in Canada are ready to elevate these stories. This multi-year deal should’ve had a Canadian home.

In 1991, Delwin Vriend, an openly gay man, was fired from his job as a laboratory coordinator and chemistry lab instructor in Alberta. He was told he was fired because he was gay. His court case helped pave the way to remove bans on same-sex marriage across Canada. 🧵1/10

One of the most important tweets I’ve seen this year ⬇️ Dame Sarah Storey has won 75 Paralympic medals and World titles across all phases of the menstrual cycle. Let that sink in. Female athletes: IT IS POSSIBLE TO WIN ON EVERY DAY OF THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE 💪🏻 Time to empower!

Measles was eliminated in Canada in 1998. Now, thanks to vaccine disinformation, we are seeing the highest rates in decades. 12 Albertans are now in ICU with complications of measles. This is a preventable tragedy. Vaccines work. Please get vaccinated. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

For any American interested in the truth, Russia was suspended from the G8 in 2014 (for invading Crimea) before Justin Trudeau was Canada's PM. A Conservative was PM at the time. Russia permanently removed itself from the G8 in 2017. So Trump's story is entirely false as usual.
