The CMA is disappointed and deeply concerned that Canada has lost its #measles elimination status from the Pan American Health Organization. We echo the Public Health Agency of Canada: the measles vaccine is the best way to protect you and your family.

Let's work together to keep measles at bay.

Healthcare provided to Canadians must continue to be shaped by science, medicine & expertise, not politics. @drkatharinesmart.bsky.social does a beautiful job explaining why www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/ab51808...

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

The conditions that have led to what’s happening in the US today exist in democracies around the world.
They are an inevitable outcome of our collective failure to adapt to fundamental changes in the information ecosystem on which our democracies were originally built.

Although health care wasn’t on the agenda for tonight’s debate, I was pleased to hear it discussed during the “cost of living” segment. Because we know that health care is not an independent issue. We can’t build a healthy economy without healthy people.

It’s national debate week and a big issue is missing in action: health care. The debate producers have ignored Canadians #3 election priority, according to Abacus. With Trump tariffs and affordability concerns, Canadians shouldn’t have to worry about their health care system too.

The CMA has stopped posting on X.
With Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration, the platform has become a tool for the U.S government and its attacks on Canadians and our sovereignty.
