In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

@oarinfo calls for @cantaskforce to be disbanded. The CTFPHC has failed to provide clear leadership to Canadian women ages 40-49. The failure to recognise the importance of screening at age 40 in saving the lives of 400 women each year and sparing hundreds more women from having to undergo preventable chemotherapy and mastectomies.

UPDATE: The Canadian Cancer Society is updating its position on breast screening to reflect evolving evidence and calls for action from patients who are frustrated that many women aged 40 to 49 are being excluded from breast screening as well as the national guidelines developed by the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. We’re urging provinces and territories to lower the start age for breast screening programs to 40 for individuals at an average risk of developing breast cancer. Many provinces and territories have taken steps to expand access to this age group, and we applaud those actions. Access to breast screening is important to find breast cancer early when chances of successful treatment are better. Learn more about our new position on breast screening: bit.ly/3UHh1k6
