Cervical cancer cases in Canada have plateaued after years of decline, and now more women are being diagnosed with advanced disease. It's a warning sign that the country may not meet its goal of eliminating the disease by 2040. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Canada was on track to eliminate cervical cancer. Now doctors are alarmed by what they are seeing
New figures from Canadian Cancer Society confirm a troubling trend. “It’s frustrating to see this happen for a cancer that is completely preventable.”

After a reply, I’d like to clarify: this was not a feeling, it was a fact: the world was improving from human rights (women’s, LGBTQ etc) to the rapid and wonderful progress in medical treatments, vaccine access and development etc.
The tragedy is we’re going backwards and our children know this.

Yesterday’s sad convo.
Me: When growing up, the world felt like it was always getting better.
Mother: I feel badly for young people who don’t have the same hope we did.
A pic of my mother (a MD/Phd who spent her career fighting diseases) in a hopeful time.
May our children find hope again.

It’s critically important that we build Canada’s defence in the Arctic in partnership with Inuit. Great to see @MarkJCarney’s commitment, making the announcement w/ Nunavut Premier @j_akeeagok.
Stark contrast with Poilievre who couldn’t be bothered to include Inuit when he made his announcement.

Let’s be clear. Healthcare is a human right. It is a foundation, like education that builds and sustains society. It should never be about profit and it never generates revenue. It’s about a patient’s needs & not a shareholder’s return. Anyone who tells you otherwise is stealing.
