Good Morning #Canada
Last week I registered with Ontario's Healthcare Connect program to help us get a family doctor in the Barrie area. Our previous family doctor retired in November and we were still covered by the clinic but it's in Brampton, more than 90 minutes away. So I'm now relying on Dougie to keep his promise to find a family doctor for all Ontarians by June 2026. I mean he's done so well with housing, environmental goals, Eglinton Crosstown....
Did you know that 83% of Canadians now report they have regular access to a family doctor which means an approximate 500K improvement in the past two years. That still leaves about 6M of us without a family physician. Family physician shortages are the highest in the territories (>55%), Quebec (21.5%) and British Columbia (17.7%), and the provinces of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and British Columbia have the fewest family physicians per 100 000 persons in the population.

Global health impacts of plastics systems set to double by 2040 #health

Global health impacts of plastics systems set to double by 2040
The adverse health impacts associated with emissions across the full life cycle of plastics could double by 2040 unless immediate action is taken, new research suggests. The study identified health harms at every stage of the life cycle of the plastics we use: from the extraction of fossil fuels, the feedstocks for more than 90% of plastics, and material production to their eventual disposal or release to the environment.

Sleeping less than 7 hours could cut years off your life #health

Sleeping less than 7 hours could cut years off your life
Sleep isn’t just about feeling rested—it may be one of the strongest predictors of how long you live. Researchers analyzing nationwide data found that insufficient sleep was more closely tied to shorter life expectancy than diet, exercise, or loneliness. The connection was consistent year after year and across most U.S. states. The takeaway is simple but powerful: getting seven to nine hours of sleep may be one of the best things you can do for long-term health.

Anxiety and insomnia linked to sharp drops in key immune cells #health

Anxiety and insomnia linked to sharp drops in key immune cells
Natural killer cells act as the immune system’s rapid-response team, but the stress of anxiety and insomnia may be quietly thinning their ranks. A study of young women in Saudi Arabia found that both conditions were linked to significantly fewer NK cells—especially the circulating types responsible for destroying infected or abnormal cells. As anxiety severity increased, NK cell levels dropped even further, suggesting a stress-driven weakening of immune defenses.

Good news for WCGH in #PortAlberni! Hoping the ICU can open again in a few months once the hiring is complete!
“The three nurses are expected to begin working at WCGH early this year, with start dates between January and March,” wrote Island Health in an email to Ha-Shilth-Sa. “Recruitment activity remains strong, with four candidates completed interviews and five more in the interview stage. We are also seeing diverse interest, with candidates from the United States, United Kingdom, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria.”

Long-term alcohol use linked to a sharp rise in rectal cancer #health

Long-term alcohol use linked to a sharp rise in rectal cancer
Drinking heavily over many years is linked to a higher risk of colorectal cancer, especially rectal cancer, according to new research tracking U.S. adults for two decades. People who drank heavily throughout adulthood faced sharply higher risks than light drinkers. Former drinkers did not show increased cancer risk and had fewer precancerous tumors. The results suggest that quitting alcohol may help lower long-term cancer risk.

Severe Heat Linked With Developmental Delays in Children

Sunday: 2°C outside (felt like -1) and figured it was a good time for a hike in the woods, hills, and fields of #Bavaria on a trail I've been eyeing for a couple of years now. Muddy trails for about half the distance but easily negotiated.🚶‍♂️🌲
Would've liked if the walk was longer but 10.7kms felt good, especially after a 2-month break in any such activity.

It's the last day to sign up as an NDP member and be able to participate in the Leadership contest.
I want to take this moment to make a pitch for Tanille Johnston.
@…
It's not just because she's on #SocialBC 😊, and understands #DigitalSovereignty. 💪
It's not just because she's a Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ woman, boots-on-the-ground social worker, #health worker, and City Councillor.
It's not just because she wants #UBI for all Canadians.
It's because she's the future of the #NDP, and of #Canada.
She is a bright light in a dark time. She gets it, all of it. She's smart and tenacious and she works really really hard.
There are a number of great candidates for Leader of the NDP, but I think Tanille is one of the best. She's the 'dark horse' to use one of those outdated terms that pundits love.
Join up and participate in what will be one of the most important leadership races in NDP history... at probably the most consequential moment for Canada since WWII.
Click the link, check out her bio, then hit Donate to sign up for a membership tonight.

I really like to get back to frequent 10-mile fasting hikes/walks. I did 2-4/week in 2023-24; but very few in 2025 due to other interests and opportunities that are incompatible with that goal. If only I can do both.🤲
