The U.S. is letting people report Canadian doctors like they’re criminals — you know, for doing their jobs. And no one’s really talking about it yet. Oh, and apparently our kids' mattresses are full of banned chemicals. Cool cool. Details 👇 canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2...

3 points on this because there's renewed interest in domestic production of vaccines in Canada in light of tariffs & general global health chaos: 1. Local production (globally) is needed for security of supply of some vaccines 2. Not all local production will be helpful 3. Choose products carefully

This is exactly the kind of medicine for which there is a strong argument for the role of a public manufacturer - market size is too small to sustain the interest of quality assured manufacturers in the private sector, leading to product shortages and uncertainty compromising patient care.

The CMA has stopped posting on X. With Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration, the platform has become a tool for the U.S government and its attacks on Canadians and our sovereignty.

The United States is a rogue state that’s now launched an imperialist trade war against Canada and Mexico. It’s time for countries, especially its former allies, to form an alliance to make the US feel the consequences of its actions and to break their dependence on US tech once and for all.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
