Excellent op-Ed by Sloane Freeman🎗️. “It’s time for Universities to adopt the IHRA working definition of antisemitism.” Agree 100%.

Does the Minister understand that Canadian medical students/residents training are supported financially by govt?

The idea of losing Canadian MDs is ok & are replaceable by foreign trained MDs makes no economic sense. & frankly is insulting to me as an educator of these trainees

ER/family MD Dr. Lisa Salamon explains why federal Liberal tax policy is the wrong medicine for Canada's MDs. Barriers to save for retirement will drive MDs away from lower-paying specialties like family medicine, which is a very bad idea. Lisa Esther

The system is broken. It is evident that if emergency physicians do not take the lead in fixing it no one will. CAEP is doing just that. Coming March 27th.

Another example of NDP Jew-erasure: a ridiculous & offensive 'purim message' from this MPP.

Purim is a JEWISH holiday about JEWS' survival in the face of antisemitism.

Imagine telling another community what THEIR holiday is about, and then centring yourself in the message.

My grandparents were born in Poland and were Holocaust survivors. Their parents, spouses, children, siblings, relatives and friends were murdered by the Nazis. My Zaidy worried that this would come to Canada. He said “at least we have Israel this time”. May he rest in peace 🇮🇱

Ontario's ER MDs work too much for free. While many have alternative funding with wages, many do not. Some of the sickest patients - some who will require the highest degree of resuscitation - and over hours - is 0% compensated. 1/4
