It’s soooo much better over on #BlueSky. Come join & ditch this hellscape.

Watch closely, this isn’t happening by accident. Doug Ford is following the same playbook we’re seeing elsewhere. Step by step, it mirrors what Danielle Smith is doing in Alberta and what the U.S. system has normalized for years. This is how it starts:
Underfund public healthcare → create frustration → introduce “alternatives” → normalize private, for-profit care → bring in insurance-driven models. And let’s be clear the capitalist private insurance companies have been eyeing Canada for decades. There’s been pressure going back to the Harper era to open that door. Because once it opens, it doesn’t close. Universal healthcare isn’t just a system it’s a safeguard. And if people don’t pay attention now, we risk waking up to something very different. This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s a pattern. And patterns matter.

Imagine if Chicago returned its waterfront to airport with jets? Today, the waterfront is the heart of economy & community. With 28 miles of accessible lakefront, 24 beaches, trails & swimming lanes, it is the city’s greatest asset.

@PWHL_Toronto GOOOOOO @PWHL_Toronto!!!!!!!!!

The American Heart Association mourns the passing of the legendary cardiologist Eugene Braunwald, M.D., widely recognized as one of the most influential figures in the history of cardiovascular medicine. Over seven decades, his work reshaped the understanding and treatment of heart disease, leading many to call him the father of modern cardiology. Braunwald was a lifelong contributor to the American Heart Association, helping advance its research and scientific mission, and was honored with some of the Association’s highest honors for his lasting influence on cardiovascular care and research. His influence extended well beyond his own discoveries, as generations of Association‑supported investigators, clinicians and academic leaders were trained by Braunwald or guided by the clinical trial standards and mentorship models he helped establish. newsroom.heart.org/news/american-…

Gene Braunwald died at 96. In a normal world, this would be front page of the NYT and WSJ. The father of modern cardiology. Fled the Holocaust as a boy Went on to save millions of lives The most important clinician-scholar of the last 50 years. We should all know his name

@DocAtCDI Gorgeous boy Remo

today was a bit of a day, warm and beautiful, reasonably productive, with some bittersweet memories that gut punched me a few times.

What's the best thing that happened to you today? #BestThingOfTheDay

Meet LJ. He's a 2-time cancer survivor, and bone marrow transplant warrior. He's guess what? He's still standing... and rocking 🕺🏼 Let's make him internet famous. 🎥 TT/maddieeeriverss

@DocAtCDI Saw world premier of fantastic Carole Pope documentary AntiDiva opening the @HotDocsCinema Film Festival. Super fun bonus, to our complete surprise, my buddy & I have a few seconds of fame, catching one of her shows @HughsRoomLive. We’ve seen her many times in Toronto.

Home at last! Kick off your shoes, pour a drink, and tell me how your day was—funny, chaotic, or quietly heroic? Let’s unwind together.

@PWHL_Toronto Get er done @PWHL_Toronto!

He painted her for three months — stopping every time the sirens came, starting again every time the sky cleared. Artist Oleksandr Korban created the mural "Вільна" ("Free") on a wall in Kyiv's DVRZ district. No projector. No tracing. Straight onto the surface, freehand. Dozens of air alert interruptions. The girl has no name — she is, the artist says, every Ukrainian woman who waits, hopes, and believes. That's not just paint on a wall. That's what staying looks like.

@VPwithBMD To 2000 more Michael.

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27: “It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young. At 26, I thought I had time… To fall in love. Start a family. Grow old. But cancer doesn’t care about plans. Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee. I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live. Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it. Go outside. Look at the sky. Feel the sun. Just be. Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love. Laugh more. Write a note. Tell someone you love them. Complain less. Give more. Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy. Be present. Put your phone down. Show up - really show up. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life. Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to. And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever. Thank you for reading this. Live your life well. And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.” Holly 🩷 Repost & share Holly’s important advice. ❤️
