X/Twitter is such a mess. So much hate and bizarre stuff. I'm done here and time to reset over on BlueSky.


I tried. I really did. Twitter/X is not what it used to be. Sorry Followers and friends, but stepping away from this platform because of the frenzy, hate and algorithms. Want to connect…have a look at my profile…


The move to #Scotland was partly to have a more outdoors facing lifestyle. Goal achieved with a good hike above the tree line but below the snow line in the Beinn Eighe Nature Reserve in Western Ross.

Honoured to be invited onto the lands of the #Blackfoot and Blood Tribe to share ideas about training #rural physicians to have greater understanding, compassion, and empathy so they can provide culturally safe and competent care to First Nations.

My consulting work has taken me to sunny LA today. That's Lethbridge, Alberta...not the other LA. Day starting at the @uLethbridge this morning.

Thanks for sharing this Tim @timmyschutz13 ..makes you realize the national love of hockey goes beyond the current Vegas/Florida snooze-fest....


A lot of #BC people have wondered what motivated us to move to #Edmonton 18 months ago. Well, cheaper housing, great business and job opportunities and the river valley along the North Saskatchewan. #YEG #YEGLife cbc.ca/player/play/22…

My dad was in the subsequent wave of Canadians onto Juno with the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers - keeping the tanks and trucks running! Told me once about having to dodge snipers to set up repair depots in occupied France and Belgium. #GreatestGeneration

Today in 1944, 14,000 Canadian landed at Juno Beach on D-Day. There were also 110 Canadian ships, 10,000 sailors & 15 RCAF squadrons in the assault. On D-Day, 1,076 Canadians will be casualties, of whom 359 are killed. By Aug. 30, there will be 18,700 casualties.

Docs who have the time and space to integrate into community life are more likely to stay. For those who are at work 24-7 the grass can look greener elsewhere. Becoming part of a community as a person (not just as a doctor) matters too.

Fact check: There’s has been a 76% drop in the # of physicians accepting new patients since 2020. Recall the hostile negotiations with the UCP started with their cancelling the physician contract in Feb 2020. Ask candidates about their parties plan to strengthen primary care.
