More private healthcare delivery = toxic bandaid. Watch/weep as more $ & HR bleed from public system into shiny private facilities. More short-term “thinking” will further harm public system while making docs/owners richer, providing quicker (not better) access. Shame.

Me: Oh, sorry, I’ll speak more loudly.
Pt., upset: No, take that thing off your face
Me, trying humour: No, I’m really ugly, I’ll raise my voice.
Pt.: I don’t like shouting
Me: then put your hearing aids in, cuz mask stays. 🤦🏼♂️

Poilievre is pond scum. I loathed Scheer, but he’s a milquetoast muffin. Poilievre is vile. And evil. And very very dangerous
In case you thought Poilievre has changed his tune on the media, here he is arguing with a Radio-Canada reporter when asked to respond in both official languages.
It’s so petty, man.
He’s like “0h so we ARE allowed” to answer French questions in English.

No public funding for ANY private school. Full-stop
Private school taking funding from over crowded public schools and look who showed up.
I support Public Healthcare and public education where teachers are held responsible.
