President Trump keeps saying "IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON." He has a point. That was the reason for the JCPOA nuclear deal, which kept Iran from enriching to high levels and from amassing substantial nuclear fuel--and Trump tore it up, creating this crisis. The military

Unless it is Captain Obvious a med student could diagnose - cardiology ain't taking what we're taught over and over again in EM about OMI EKGs - even if the patient has arrested, resuscitated and alternative diagnoses ruled out. Stephen W. Smith Amal Mattu Jesse McLaren EM:RAP

Let's say this at a level Americans understand. Canadians would rather eat glass shards, drink acid, have limbs cut off awake, have a lava enema, be ground down by 100 tanks and be blowtorched to ashes than be the 51st state. Donald J. Trump Mark Carney thestar.com/politics/feder…

The Ontario Health Coalition is standing up for average Ontarians (especially vulnerable seniors) against the privatization of healthcare. Follow them, support them, and go to their rallies. Ontario is in the pocket of for-profit medicine. OntarioHealthCoal'n @NatalieMehra

The scourge of Hamas and the Israeli government needs to stop the daily slaughter. Imagine 59 people butchered in your local neighbourhood. ft.com/content/696964…

Early pregnancy clinics are crucial. In one ER we have them and in one we don't - you can tell the difference. ERs welcome Ob/gyns helping us clear the ER of "admit no bed" patients so we can have actual space to better care for all incoming patients. SOGC

Dr. Hedy Fry - now 83 years old and on her 11th consecutive term as Member of Parliament (Vancouver Centre) - still has her eye sharp on what matters in Canada - vaccinating against and containing our measles epidemic. Dr. Hedy Fry

The problem is not Canada. The U.S. threatens our sovereignty, disrespects our democratically elected Prime Minister and creates loss of important jobs. No - Canadians are not the problem. Americans need to fix this on their end - not ours.

There is a lot going on but let's not forget my ER patients who are waiting 30 hours this week on an ER gurney for a hospital bed. Canadian patriots know the important of fighting for our publicly funded healthcare system. It is what sets us apart. It's what makes us Canadian.

It's hard to deal with a U.S. government that's always bullshitting. 1 pound of fentanyl was seized at the U.S.-Canada border so far in 2025. 10 pounds were seized in 2024. There is a crisis - but stop the lying. Joe Rogan Kash Patel FBI Director Kash Patel globalnews.ca/news/11246670/…

The key question in emergency medicine is how to be faster. Balancing the 3 pillars of 1) be kind, 2) be right and 3) be fast. We mostly focus on be right (diagnosis and treatment) and take be kind for granted. There's a big missing part of continuing education and peer review.
