They still don't get it.
They think they can come up to Canada and sweet talk us into buying their shit.
Ain't gonna happen.

SNL fodder

I hope he shares it

Victoria Derbyshire, "You described Reform UK as the right wing fascists of 1930s, why?"

Lord Heseltine, "Because that's what they are"

Political will & expedience to fund & execute value-based care, & for that care to be planned & provided within an integrated care system (which means ICSs being more than an organisational title)

A culture reset that demonstrates the value & yet to be met 'ambitions' of older age (including planning for a peaceful, dignified end of life)
Training & assistance to turn Home Managers into Home & Care Leaders

Facilitators:
Appreciating that care is a physical, mental, and social activity
Talking with residents can & should be structured to improve care, relationships and well-being
Nationally set training standards & inputs (which can be on-the-job)
Wages that reflect the vitality & social value of care

Barriers:
Task-orientation
Misperception of what care time is for / how it can be used
Training
Pay
Scare or hard to recruit workforce
Culture of care work, including the social constructs of 'later life'
Leadership (at all levels-Government to Care Home)

These foci could have been discussed with resident participants

When asking "How can care planning be approached in a person-centred way?" without approaching residents the 'person-centred' element is already lost, IMO

Care planning is part of the busy job; I contest that, done well, care tasks & interventions should include conversations about care preferences with the resident

Value-based care is important

"Residents – particularly those with cognitive impairment – are often excluded from care planning discussions"

"...Crucially, two relatives of care home residents also contributed throughout, helping shape the principles from a family perspective"

Two relatives

"...One hundred health and social care professionals from across England took part in the first survey round, with 80 continuing to the second round. The panel included care home managers, nurses, care assistants, and other professionals directly involved in care planning..."

I captured the newly discovered comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. It was first observed earlier this year by Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona.

Schumer: That issue that MAGA Mike keeps talking about—illegal immigrants getting health care. It’s an effing lie. The law says that federal dollars cannot go to illegal immigrants under Medicare, Medicaid, or the ACA.

And I said that to him in the room. I said, You’re lying. He smirked.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Make no mistake. This race-to-the-bottom political circus of racism & xenophobia is not only about unicorn future policies of discrimination & oppression. It’s about scaring & sickening us and making us give up on making this country fair & equitable. Take a break if you must but don’t let them win.
