@colemancountry @bcpoli You are a disgrace.

So I tweeted something earlier and on reflection thought it wasn’t that funny. My bad. Sorry folks. @bcpoli

"Your success now is our country's success. I am rooting hard for you" - George HW Bush, 1993. Powerful. A timely reminder we all need. @realDonaldTrump more than others. The office of the presidency transcends politics. Don't forget this.

@AlikaMD We are 100000% ready. In fact, it is what's needed.

Alberta-based call for nominations released today! Considering putting in my name to move forward issues important to physicians, patients, providers and other health system partners. Do you think we’re ready for an Indigenous President of the CMA? cma.ca/how-become-cma…

@AHS_media This is what happens when you don't stand up for your employees and valued workers. Especially front line healthcare works. Especially during a pandemic. @jkenney @shandro running a real-life class on what not to do during a health crisis.

AHS is responding quickly to illegal strike action by Alberta Union of Provincial Employees staff at various sites across the province.

@mclaughlin_tom Sorry Dr. @mclaughlin_tom - we can't seem to DM you as you're not following us, is there an email or can you follow us briefly so we can connect? Many thanks.

@mclaughlin_tom @SameerSharifMD @MichaelChaikof @jddneary @MedCouncilCan Thank you, we have contacted 3 MPs and they're getting their legislative librarians to have a look for us. But we will DM you!! 🙏 Also: "From 1912" 😑😑

Not the @MedCouncilCan calling resident MDs "opportunistic" for asking not to write an unnecessary exam during a pandemic. ESPECIALLY not when they're boasting about sales of prep materials for the very exams THEY administer. Dare I say that is the definition of opportunism?

@Jimmy_Yan This is so inappropriate. This infrastructure 'investment' by this registered 'charity' was a 50M+ cost. @CanRevAgency - It's time for a formal audit. laurin.ca/portfolio/medi…

@ConcResidents @CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors @CBCNews @CTVNews @MedCouncilCan We have retained lawyers looking into this at the moment. If any residents/physicians/learners are interested in helping build a case, please DM us! The 'legislation' @MedCouncilCan is referring to is 100+ years old. It's from 1912!!

@DoctorsNoFilter @CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors @CBCNews @CTVNews @MedCouncilCan It might be time to residents to ban together and speak to a law-firm. It seems this is the only way they will be forced to make any changes to their organization.

Is it also legislatively legal for a non-PROFIT organization to hold this much in assets?? Almost $54M+ !! @CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors can the @CBCNews @CTVNews run a segment on this? We have hundreds of MDs who will speak out against the @MedCouncilCan #MedTwitter

@MedCouncilCan So ZERO learners in your new decision making council restructuring. Just a 'forum' for feedback from learner representatives. Equivalent to: 'leave comments in the comments box'. @CMA_Docs @AFMC_e @ResidentDoctors

Dr. Jay Rosenfield, President of the Medical Council of Canada (MCC), responds, in a letter published on mcc.ca, to questions that have been raised regarding the participation of learners in the MCC’s new #governance model: ow.ly/SzEF50BWNVC. #MCCam #MedEd

@SameerSharifMD @MichaelChaikof @jddneary @MedCouncilCan 100 % agree. We've also asked the @MedCouncilCan to formally release/link what specific piece of legislation they're referring to multiple times. If anyone knows, please link us!

@MichaelChaikof @jddneary @MedCouncilCan Sounds like if this is a legislative matter, we should change legislation. Also, @MedCouncilCan please pay the trainees back for those absurd fees. And, I would love to see an accounting of where these exam fees go. I’m tired of residents being taken advantage of!!

@MichaelChaikof @MedCouncilCan The @MedCouncilCan is not even being discreet about their inappropriate behaviour. How are they even a 'non-profit' organization? @CanRevAgency - are there rules about profitability when an organization is seeming to exploit the system? Also a great story for @CBCNews @CTVNews

@MedCouncilCan We think @MedCouncilCan should also cancel all future exams. Forever. Who agrees? @CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors please advocate for your members on this issue!

Regretfully, due to recommendations by Public Health and late-breaking decisions by some contracted third-party exam sites, we are left with no choice but to cancel all sites for the October session of the #MCCQEPartII exam. Details: ow.ly/rjIu50C00LZ. #MEdEd

@MedCouncilCan Can you please link/reference to the legislation you're referring to please? Which legislation is this?

The MCC addresses candidates' and others' concerns over the MCCQE Part II while it continues to uphold its mission to deliver legislatively mandated physician assessments: ow.ly/Pva250BZ2bm

@mbenusic If there are ANY physicians not getting compensated by the MCC, that believes this exam is relevant and important, we would like to hear from them. Probably there are none.

@docabrural Couldn't have said it better... @MattWolfAB = SHAMEFUL!!

Fuck you, Matt. No one in your government is anywhere near qualified to decide who cannot work. Mental health should not be downplayed, you asshat. It isn’t up to the government to decide medical capacity to work, it should be up to those with actual training. You are a POS.

...the MCC claims to be a non-profit organization yet racks up MILLIONS from exam fees with large surpluses. @CanRevAgency Not to mention their $50M+ assets they're just sitting on. It's embarrassing, shameful, and borderline fraudulent. #MedEd #MedTwitter #medicine #COVID19

... and standardized patients. Can @CMA_Docs @ResidentDoctors advocate for trainees already and abolish this exam? It is completely useless, expensive, and now quite frankly gonna cost lives. @CTVNews @CBCNews expose the @MedCouncilCan. We have lots of MDs willing to speak out..

This is embarrassing and highly hypocritical for a medical organization like @MedCouncilCan to hold an IN PERSON exam during a global pandemic. Seriously, do better. An already useless & outdated exam is now going unnecessarily expose resident doctors, physician examiners...

@le_beals @MedCouncilCan Unacceptable. When can we start to have a national effort to get rid of the @MedCouncilCan? Help us out @CFMSFEMC @ResidentDoctors @CMA_Docs Advocate for our fellow colleagues.

One week before my scheduled test date, without notice or explanation, my MCCQ Part 1 exam was cancelled and rescheduled for November. @MedCouncilCan this is unacceptable. I would call you directly to voice my concerns but your office is closed.
