My anti-socialism friends define socialism as collecting wealth from citizens and redistributing it among all citizens.

Fair.

Isn’t Trump collecting tariffs from Americans and redistributing it in place of income taxes socialism then?

Honest confusion.

Another example of deregulation not being a good thing

I remain surprised at the number of Canadian business leaders pandering to Trump to the detriment of their own country.

What happens to Canada happens to them.

This is the CEO of Shopify.

Cutting staff following a superficial assessment of impact is one of the luxuries of running a private enterprise

Govt provides core service millions of people depend on to survive and live well

If tech bro does what he did at Twitter, lots of average people will suffer

Happy Monday!

Reading a book right now called “How Democracies Die”

It contains a helpful litmus test for when you know things are shifting toward autocracies

Been thinking about doing this for a while

Seems like it’s the right time with how uncertain the world feels today

Check out my new Substack, “Our Plausible Futures”

New posts weekly 😬

The way employers plan for MD #workforce needs depends on folks being available 24/7 when on service

In rural areas this can mean 24/365

We are dishonest w/ new MDs that they can balance physician and patient needs right now

One side inevitably suffers

It’s getting worse

The biggest mistakes we’ve made in health system management have been at the political and administrative level

But we keep pushing accountability, responsibility and blame down to providers and patients for why healthcare is dysfunctional

Doesn’t make a ton of sense

Reconciliation = relationships

Many relationships were built and strengthened on the path to @CMA_Docs national apology on Sept 18th, 2024

Relationships are the foundation of reconciliACTION that must happen moving forward

Just bumped into Premier @j_akeeagok, in town for the Council of the Federation meeting in Halifax, NS.

Appreciate your leadership and advocacy in behalf of residents of Nunavut!

I love smaller cities.

There’s a big difference between asking if something is working and whether it’s worth putting in the effort to make something work.

Know there’s lots of folks who feel like me - it’s worth putting in the work to make a better Canada.

A leadership lesson I’d share w/ my younger self would be to seek after folks who have knowledge and experiences beyond your own.

@SpeakersDotCa is an org who’s brought together those very people.

Been surreal to be on the website front page this week. http://speakers.ca

My life has been a series of fortunate events.

Dad, thanks for making the most of me…the long talks, the four point lessons, encouraging me to take life seriously and teaching me how to both out think and out work my problems.

Happy Fathers Day!

Why am I just realizing now that @AirCanada has integrated checked luggage tracking with flights now?

Would be a great feature to add @WestJet
