I think it’s fine to tax higher earners more because after a certain point you just end up buying stupid things. Look how many yellow jackets I have. That could have gone to health care.

Medical associations from coast to coast are deeply concerned about any government proposal that would restrict access to evidence-based medical care for patients, including for the transgender population. #CDNhealth #CDNpoli Our statement: https://t.co/XGTdwp3ktd

Medical practices are a safe place for children, youth and families to explore options around gender- affirming treatments. Children and youth have the right to the appropriate medical care, at the appropriate time, and this should not be denied to them.

if you own a $2m home, a “punishing” 9% property tax increase would be $485/year. if you rent an average 1-bedroom for $2,800, the 2% allowable rent for 2023 increase is $672/year.
As Vancouver seeks to avoid years of punishing property tax increases, councillors are now looking at fee hikes for everything from parking permits to business licences to the cost of owning a pet. https://t.co/DaoET41gGv

So thrilled to have been able to give this talk. Thanks to my coresidents, friends and mentors at @EMUofT and @EMResUBC who have supported me in this work, and to all my patients who have taught me so much!! 🌈🌈🌈
Fantastic talk this morning from @DevonMitchell45 on ED Care for Transgender Patient. Take home point: The greatest threat to a transgender patient's life is transphobia. It isn't a PE, or an infection. Your advocacy can help save their life.

Today, @SCC_eng dismissed the appeal in the Cambie case. While this legal attack on our publicly-funded health care system is finally over, the work to strengthen & improve our health care system is far from done. Let's continue to work for #BetterMedicare

This week was Budget Day™ in many provinces, and so I thought it would be timely to share this recent piece from @bechardmel and I on the futility of pouring money into a broken system, and some suggestions on how to avoid that @CdnDrs4Medicare #canpoli

As any financial expert will tell you, it’s not the money, but how you spend it.
