    📢 We’re leaving X but the work continues. It’s clear X is now a tool for the U.S. government and its attacks on Canadians and our sovereignty. That’s why we will no longer be updating this account. Join us on our other platforms as we fight for physicians and access to care.

    Somehow, #CovidIsOver is trending in Canada. We can assure you that it is not over. While things are trending in the right direction in most parts of 🇨🇦 thanks to rising vaccination coverage, we need to remain vigilant in respecting public health guidelines. #EveryShotCounts

    Medical practices are a safe place for children, youth and families to explore options around gender- affirming treatments. Children and youth have the right to the appropriate medical care, at the appropriate time, and this should not be denied to them.

    Having become a prominent voice for #HealthEquity on Twitter, @NaheedD is also a prominent target for online threats and harassment. Recognizing the power of online advocacy, Dr. Dosani shares why he keeps going despite the trolls. bit.ly/3n2tBKA

    We ask employers to discontinue requirements for sick notes if they haven't already done so. 📝 place an unnecessary burden on the #CDNhealth system when we all need to focus on one of the biggest public health challenges of our time. #COVID19 cma.ca/news-releases-…

    Bullying, intimidation, and threats of violence against #HealthCareWorkers will not stand in our society. The CMA will work with its partners to ensure the support and protection of HCWs — online and beyond.

    This is despicable, targeted and violent. I hope that my fellow physicians, politicians of all stripes and anyone who cares about goodness and human decency condemns this in the strongest possible way.

    Canadians have a right to make personal choices about their health with the support of their families, the guidance of licensed, regulated health professionals and free from political interference.

    We encourage local law enforcement agencies in all jurisdictions to ensure #HealthCareWorkers are protected from violence and threats. We also call on social media companies to increase efforts to ensure their platforms are safe spaces for HCWs. More ⤵️ cma.ca/news-releases-…

    As rates of vaccination in 🇨🇦 plateau and concerns over highly contagious #COVID19 variants rise, the CMA and @canadanurses are calling for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for #CDNhealth workers to protect patients, the health workforce and system capacity: bit.ly/2ViDRDP

    As #physicians, we have a duty to provide the best possible care for patients. We also have a responsibility to provide evidence-based information to decision-makers/the public. As such, we must protect the advocacy role of physicians. #CDNhealth #CDNpoli cma.ca/news-releases-…
