@CMA_Docs @DrKathleenRoss1 I’m embarrassed by this post. Physicians are some of the wealthiest in the country and can afford a small increase in taxes to support programs that improve health like dental care and pharmacare.

As thousands of people across Canada rallied to support Palestinians, as they were newly bombed by Israel, I look at the links that bind Black, Indigenous and Palestinian liberation movements with the help of U of T scholar Chandni Desai.

Health pensions must divest of fossil fuels

Morally, we can’t stomach our pension savings fuelling the climate crisis. And financially, we can’t afford it.
