    Some Personal News. . . My son Felix was born this past Fall. Unfortunately, my wife had an undiagnosed condition called placenta accreta that caused continual bleeding. The first time I took her to the ER by our house, she was 48 hours postpartum and cradling Felix. After 6

    The Covid-19 vaccine mandates are straightforward violations of medical ethics. They were also a failure as a matter of practicality. They have done so much harm to our social fabric. I am grateful for those standing up against them peacefully today.

    I can’t take it any more. As a father of a three-year-old girl, I can’t take it. If our government can’t keep toddler rapists in jail, what is even the point. I find all my quiet moments invaded by sorrow and horror about this. Enough is enough.

    Daniel Senecal raped and choked a 12-year-old and got out of prison "early." A few months later, he is alleged to have committed the most evil crime I have ever heard of: breaking into a three-year-old girl's bedroom window, raping her while her mother slept, choking her so she

    You need to be very concerned about Bill C8. It allows @melaniejoly to kick anyone off the internet with no trial, no warrant. Worse, you won’t be allowed to say you’ve been kicked off. This is the Emergency Measures Act on steroids, only permanent and secret.

    I am pro-vaccine and anti-mandate. I am pro-public health and anti-lockdown. I don’t think ivermectin works, but I don’t mind if you want to talk about it. This is called liberalism and it was the dominant political philosophy in Canada until March 2020.

    I gave my maiden speech in Canada's House of Commons: The Liberals trampled on the Charter rights of Canadians. I see no indication the leopard can change it's spots. I am here to speak truth to their power.

    Remember when they said that if we: 1) Close small business. 2) Reduce restaurant capacity. 3) Fire unvaccinated people. 4) Cancel funerals and weddings. 5) Mask children. 6) Close schools. 7) End travel. We could save the healthcare system?

    🚨🚨 The Liberals want to GIVE AWAY >100,000 citizenships to people who have never lived here, with no criminal check, no language test, no citizenship exam. 🚨🚨 Bill C3 is a TERRIBLE IDEA that cheapens what it means to be Canadian. Please see my speech on this travesty 👇

    1/ Yesterday was demoralizing. Some of the best years of my life (2004-2013) were med school, internal medicine residency and ICU fellowship at Western. I still bleed purple. This mandate will hurt people and threatens to ruin a very special place.

    I worked in ICUs and Covid wards the last 20 days in a row, and some of the nights. It is a privilege to get to take care of sick people; I love my job. Whatever fatigue I might feel tonight is no justification to restrict anyone's human rights.

    I just got back from House of Commons orientation last night: The scale of @MarkJCarney's betrayal of democratic norms is now sinking in. Left or right, Canadians voted for a serious change in direction after the last 10 years of Trudeaupian misrule. A budget is how you

    The pandemic is coming to its end. As a frontline physician, I saw horrendous things: hopelessness and heartlessness wrought both by the virus but also by our, at times, counterproductive restrictions. Today, I am grateful that these are (almost) all over. (1/x)
