"Is it ethical for dietitian influencers to take money for posts? Not everyone agrees" cbc.ca/news/health/di… by @paigeeparsons via @CBCNews Me: "Pause and look at those disclosures, and if you see that it's an ad — be skeptical..." Needed: better oversight.
#Trans🏳️⚧️teens and youth say gender-affirming care is 'life-changing.' So why is it so hard to find in Canada? Lack of local access to care, current political landscape puts trans, non-binary youth at risk, experts say, by @paigeeparsons cbc.ca/news/health/ge… via @CBCNews
A few years ago, @paigeeparsons wrote a feature on the abuse Father Dominey perpetrated at the Edmonton Youth Development Centre and the lasting impact on survivors, men now in their 50s, still coming to grips with what transpired. Worth a read newsinteractives.cbc.ca/longform/fight…
A national study has put a number to something Indigenous people have been saying all along: systemic racism is one of the main barriers to health care access. It found particularly heightened disparities for pregnant people. My file, with @paigeeparsons: cbc.ca/news/health/in…

Staggering, from @paigeeparsons: "the number of homeless people who die annually in Edmonton has increased dramatically — from 37 in 2019 to 302 in 2023. In Calgary, that number has risen from 51 to 294 in the same time period." cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
