Each school year, I teach a unit called “Abilities Awareness”. Making students aware of each other’s different abilities helps us become better citizens and leads to a more positive and inclusive school climate. This awareness leads to empathy and a deeper understanding of our peers’ individual learning needs resulting in a sense of belonging, community, and value in our school community. This unit is also an opportunity to address misconceptions surrounding different disabilities. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.”

Ford’s health-care risk cuts the lives of society’s most vulnerable
A 6-year-old child ends up in the emergency room with meningitis, following days of concern by her parents about her fever and rash. A pregnant woman avoids seeing a health provider until she goes into labour, all the while worrying that she is risking her life and that of her baby. A young man falls off a roof while doing repairs, but bears the pain and waits to seek care until his injured leg becomes infected.
You may be surprised to hear such things could happen in Ontario, in a country that prides itself on its universal health-care system. But…

The life of a doctor isn’t easy these days. Many are saddled with massive student loan debt, work long hours and continue to deal with the trauma of treating patients during the pandemic.
Doctors, nurses and other front-line health-care workers bore the brunt of the pandemic. Many contracted covid-19, and some even had to intubate their colleagues. Others developed long covid, and some suffered such intense emotional pain that they died by suicide. Doctors who want to seek mental health support are fearful of retribution from state licensing boards.
National Doctors’ Day is celebrated every…
Cruel health care cut targets the most vulnerable
By the mid-1990s, it was common for analysts to lament a rising culture of meanness. Public anger and government cutbacks seemed aimed at punishing those already struggling. Worse, the mood took hold at the very time the wealth and income gaps between the rich and the rest was expanding.
There’s a strong taste of that mood in the decision by Doug Ford’s government to wind down a pandemic program, established in March 2020, to give uninsured Ontario patients access to medically necessary care.
It was a program of the Health Network for Uninsured Clients, in a report released last week,…

I’ve had recipes for decades using deli meat such as my protein noodle lasagna, protein spare chips, protein noodle pad Thai, protein noodle soup and even enchiladas!

What Ron DeSantis Has Actually Done to Florida
Mmedia coverage of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s all-but-announced candidacy for president is already in full frenzy, and so far the script is exactly as his handlers would like it to be. The governor regularly opens up new fronts in the culture wars, sowing alarm over critical race theory, transgender rights, or border policies. In response, liberal pundits fell into the trap of accentuating the very issues DeSantis had chosen to fire up his base.
Omitted from the public debate about DeSantis’s policies is almost any discussion of his actual record of governance—what exactly he has delivered to the citizens of…
