Read. Pause. This isn’t the time to call out cycling infrastructure. It is the time to hold dangerous people fuelled by mis/disinformation to account. Are we not long past the moment we accept extremist views in our community, our workplaces? My son could have been killed.

Three days after a driver ran a cyclist off the road, he returned to the same area, where he stalked and filmed another group, sped, and even ran a red light https://t.co/RfWuvm5c8H

Hamilton cyclist severely injured in Dundas crash - provides some details and please read. This is not about infrastructure. Needed, of course. This is about populist crap, mis/disinformation and polarization leading to hatred and it needs to end.

This is my son. Speak to your local gov’t representative, your provincial and federal members in Hamilton, wherever and tell them you are done with the post-2016 world tell them you want a future for our kids and an end to bullshit insane treatment of cyclists and pedestrians.

Hey folks, our son Matt is doing research for his honours BSc at McMaster. Please take some time and help by partaking in his research and filling out the survey found using the provided link. Does AI have a role in helping improve health literacy? https://t.co/JZEcjTWOQ2

Private for-profit healthcare is a system designed to make more money for corporations and shareholders...While public healthcare is a system designed to make healthcare more accessible for people. We must defend our public healthcare system at all costs.

Oh yes it is. Read the Court of Appeal decision in Cambie Surgeries that reviews the actual expert evidence - a devastating takedown showing private healthcare favours the rich, increases wait times, diverts resources from the public system and puts privilege before need.

Important thread. Break it and then privatize it has always been the plan. The pandemic helped.

Eating grass-fed organic beef is the dietary equivalent of flying a private jet, yet many green-minded people seem to think the opposite. Once again, @GeorgeMonbiot sets them straight.

1) Canada already one of most private healthcare systems in OECD. 2) Little evidence > private = better care or efficiencies. 3) "Can't afford system" common (understandable) theme, but $ comes from same pocket. And > private associated with > expensive & < efficient.

Dr Adam Hofmann is wrong. Patients are not money making consuming units. Private health care kills those who can’t afford to pay. Nor does is help ED overcrowding. Such a false narrative. Be better. @CAEP_Docs @AlikaMD
