Saw a patient recently without housing who was in and out of hospital. But how could we keep calling them “hard to reach” or “lost to follow-up” when they didn’t have a cell phone? Peer workers in the Stabilization Centre/ER set up a phone for him and the next morning I got a…

If a few Persian shops make you declare Ontario dead, maybe it’s not the province that’s dying…it’s your relevance. We’ve called this area Little Iran since I was a kid. Get out more, the world’s been moving while you’ve been whining.

Toronto now have a "Little Iran" district. RIP Ontario, you had a good run. It was fun.



In 2025, a postal code remains a better predictor of health outcomes than a genetic code.

Housing for All is about human dignity and sound health economics. 1 month in hospital is over $30k 1 month in prison is nearly $15k 1 month in shelter is $6k 1 month in supportive housing is < $4k


Wow. My mother found this last night — the letter welcoming her to Canada from Ontario Premier David Peterson. The line — “Canada takes pride in the diverse origins of its people” hit really hard today.

Deeply saddened by news of the passing of Dr. Darren Markland earlier this week.   Darren was a tireless advocate for patients and health care workers in Edmonton and across Canada. His compassion and dedication made our country stronger. I am keeping his family, and the entire…

This is the grave danger for people’s health now — the amount of energy needed to refute misinformation is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.

On this International Day of Democracy I am grateful that the Government of Ontario has chosen to create a Legacy Award in honour of my term as Lieutenant Governor. The award will recognize those who advance democracy in innovative and impactful ways.

This is today. A homeless person murdered in Toronto — just days after a Fox News TV host called for the lethal injection of unhoused people living on the street. We need to continue to fight for the humane solution of housing for all and to stop the denigration facing hundreds…

In Finland, the number of people experiencing homelessness has fallen sharply. Those affected are provided with a small apartment and counselling, with no preconditions. Four out of five people are able to rebuild a stable life. And all of this costs less than accepting…

I believe we are at a tipping point when it comes to homelessness and health. For the past 50 years, we have seen a dramatic reduction in social housing investments. Canada is now near the bottom of the OECD countries when it comes to social housing access — and this comes with…

A stabilization centre to offload EMS and give intoxicated patients time, quiet and services is a huge success of Ontario's Ford government and partners. Every ER needs this. @drandrewb @fordnation @SylviaJonesMPP @MichaelTibollo @CAEP_Docs @UHN @OntarioHealthOH @ONThealth - By…
