On Sunday, October 5, 2025, my wife and I are participating in the Canadian Cancer Society's Run for the Cure. This national fundraiser brings together communities across the country who will run or walk in support of all Canadians impacted by breast cancer. We are walking in honour of my mother, my two sisters, and both our daughters - all of whom have been touched by this terrible disease.
Our family isn't special as 1 in 8 women will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian women, and all of us likely know someone who has battled it in the past, or is fighting it today. I encourage all Canadians to donate in honour of someone they know or simply to help their communities fight breast cancer. This cause is particularly important to us, especially this year, as we support our daughters, and I hope all Canadians get involved.

At the opening ceremony. Since 1992 this event has raised $522M for research and treatment, and survival rates have doubled. Looks like close to 1,000 people here getting ready to run and walk.

Good Morning #Canada
There are #RunfortheCure events all across Canada this morning. My wife and I will be participating in Barrie in support of our two daughters. But our running days are long past so we'll be walking for the Cure.
Canada has some outstanding cancer treatment centres, like Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, recognized internationally. The World Health Organization (WHO) gives Canada a "B" grade in its evaluation of our country's treatment of cancer. Canada ranks highly in the survivability of lung and colon cancers and Universal Healthcare generally leads to better outcomes versus other countries. But WHO also notes that Canada needs to improve diagnostic processes and technology, early detection programs, and more research into prevention.
