August 16th is National Rum Day which, apparently, is different than World Rum Day — that’s sometime in July!?! Anyway, here’s to rum, a noble spirit that spans centuries, continents and cultures. This particular one is Rhum Clément Vieux XO, a rhum agricole from Martinique. #rum

This is a tragic story. Even with better training, naloxone is not 100% effective, especially when a substance is mixed with cocaine. Three girls inhaled the same substance, two survived. @elenoresturko

The coroners inquest, under BC’s New Chief Coroner will likely reveal the cause of death, and the steps that may have been taken to have reversed this accidental overdose. Sadly not all overdoses are reverseable, due to many factors. The report may reveal what killed her. Sad💔

This was a difficult read. Two things most disturbing to me: 1. She felt she had to go through with it because it was expected. 2. Her resemblance to another well-known member of the family. (Did anyone else think this?)
Getting a byline in @globeandmail: Highly recommended. Having sex with Frank Stronach: Cannot endorse.

"Why is it that a couple of grieving parents are better at articulating sensible public policies than a bevy of bureaucrats and policy advisers?" @picardonhealth asks in his column. Being white, affluent and having influence have alot to do with this. #opioids #ToxicDrugCrisis
Knowing how to reverse an overdose is an essential skill for students living in the toxic drug era. Every young person should be taught how to use #naloxone, either nasal or injectable, by @picardonhealth theglobeandmail.com/opinion/… via @GlobeDebate #CPR #opioids #ToxicDrugCrisis

This woman is toxic! Victim blaming is at work here. @ShreeParadkar
I obtained a recording of 2 sessions in an anti-racism training that’s been wrongly linked to an ex-Principal’s suicide. It reveals a fuller picture of a disagreement that has been cherry-picked, shorn off context, nuance by anti anti-racists. Pls read: thestar.com/opinion/star-col…
