That’s a wrap! 200 more of my family medicine patients up to date with their Covid-19 vaccine boosters and annual flu shots, with the help of wonderful medical students at our Jabapalooza. Also happy to say that I’m now boosted! Have a peaceful weekend. Shabbat shalom.

We’re back with a Jabapalooza clinic to give our patients their Covid-19 and flu vaccine boosters. Before you ask, yes, there is still Covid-19 in the community. Visiting a patient who just underwent cardiac surgery, there was an outbreak in hospital (see the sign below). Vaccines save lives.

Wonderful news: Waking up to the referendum results that 75% of Alberta’s voters want to remain in Canada. Our Canada includes Alberta. 🇨🇦

Moments of autumn calm in a time of tumult.

Wishing friends and colleagues across Canada a happy Thanksgiving. Thankful to live in this beautiful country. Thankful to the friends and family who bring love to the table. 🇨🇦❤️

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving 🇨🇦

2 day old here this morning, the loveliest way to end the week. Infant had her RSV vaccine at birth. Gave her mum a booster of the Covid-19 vaccine and a flu shot. Friendly reminder to get your Covid-19 and flu shots this autumn (and RSV vaccines for infants/seniors who haven’t had one). 💉

Not sure that the survey reflects reality. I resigned because of extremism and persistent antisemitic harassment from trustees and the public while I was a school board trustee in Ottawa. I was also most targeted during the 2022 municipal elections, across Canada. hrccharitable.ca/research-stu...

Preorders available now for my upcoming book HER BODY, HER CURE! I wrote about the history & politics of wellness culture from its origins in the 1800s to its latest far right incarnation post-2020. Alt-health/wellness is not just academic for me, it’s highly personal. 🧵 utppublishing.com/do...

That’s a wrap - five weeks of working without my staff. This is what a tired family doc looks like (after taking off my mask). Understaffed and overworked is the norm in family medicine, but thankfully I’ll have my wonderful staff back on Monday! Have a peaceful, healthy weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia!

Happy to share a new painting of my office, painted by a local artist, Leo KD, who was in the same daycare as our eldest when they were children. Now, as a fun way to start Sukkot, we’re heading to Halifax to visit our child at Dal law school. Have a peaceful weekend. Shabbat shalom & chag sameach.

When you think about what happened in Belleville, the connection between antisemitism and antivaxx radicalization shouldn’t be news to anyone. As a Jewish doctor who vaccinated Canadians, I received hundreds of vile threats between 2021-2024. Including that I’d be shot. Jew hate is shrugged off.

Have a peaceful weekend, everyone. Shabbat shalom and g’mar chatima tova, friends and colleagues.

Wishing all my friends, family, colleagues a sweet Rosh Hashanah and a healthy, happy 5787. Shana tovah!

She’s launched. Queens University is so fortunate to have her and we will miss her dearly.

Our daughter was two when we got our cottage. Yesterday we ended our summer there and tomorrow she heads off to university, leaving us with an empty nest. A close friend said to me, “It isn’t goodbye my dears, it is see you later.” She’s right. And our porch light will always be on for our children.

Meanwhile in Canada… Nothing has changed from our point of view (except for more reasons every day to be grateful that we live on this side of the border). 🇨🇦

Meanwhile in Canada, look closely, there is a hummingbird at the feeder. (And we are paying more attention to what is beautiful here than to the juvenile antics south of our border). 🇨🇦 Have a peaceful weekend, everyone. Shabbat shalom.

465 people from 57 different countries. Now Canadian citizens. Welcome! 🇨🇦

At the CNE to cheer on close friends at their citizenship ceremony. Pretty cool to see so many excited faces from all around the world in this line, about to become Canadians 🇨🇦

I stand behind Prime Minister Carney, respect him for walking away from a trade deal with the US. Canadians will not allow any nation to determine our future. 🇨🇦

One of our last Friday night dinners at the cottage, with our daughter before she leaves for university. How blessed we’ve been to have her at our table. Shabbat shalom, friends.

As the end of summer approaches, we’ve seen our middle child off to Law school and we are relishing every moment with our youngest before she heads off to start undergrad. Parenting feels like it moves in slow motion when they are babes in arms. I wish there were a way to throttle the speed now.

Canadians: Consider signing this petition to our House of Commons about U.S Ambassador Pete Hoekstra who has repeatedly undermined Canada-U.S. diplomatic relations. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... For more info: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/15/w...

We did it!! Very hard. 750m swim, 20K bike ride, 5K run.

Ready for the triathlon… wish us luck!

Homemade GF challah, still warm from the oven, kissed by the setting sun. Shabbat shalom. Have a lovely, peaceful weekend, friends and colleagues.

Love is waking up to my husband baking GF cinnamon buns

Music is much of life when we aren’t swimming in the summer…

On the lake - perfect summer night

Have a peaceful, healthy summer weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Physician here (words of wisdom from Canada): Get your MMR vaccines. Safe and effective. The US has seen more cases of measles in the last 2 years than the total between 2000-2024. That is what happens when a country is led by anti-vaccine, anti-science scoundrels and spreaders of disinformation.

Another amazing canoe camping trip in Algonquin Park.

Hope everyone is keeping cool. A few days ago, we went on a long paddle down a river, out to a local lake. Pup played in the water and then hopped back into the canoe.

Can anyone identify these mushrooms? Growing in my garden under my lettuce

Is it Friday again already? Have a wonderful weekend, friends and colleagues. Shabbat shalom. (Photo was sunset last night)

Water 25.3 degrees, air 21.2 and wet. Training for our triathlon, rain or shine.

When your pup just wants to jump into the kayak for a ride… but then doesn’t want to sit down because there’s rain water in the bottom and she’s a princess

Have a lovely weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Thankful to live in this spectacular country!

Something happy to start your day: The whippoorwill has returned to our cottage. Turn on volume and you’ll hear its evening call, “whippoorwill, whippoorwill, whippoorwill.” It always sings in the tall grass just outside the window with the stained glass butterfly.

Canadians, #Gander officially launches on #CanadaDay. It is truly nicer there. If you haven’t joined during its pre-launch months, let’s see as many of us as possible flock there on July 1. Elbows (and wings) up! 🇨🇦 You’ll find me there: gander.social/profile/nili...

Have a lovely, peaceful summer weekend. Shabbat shalom.

Picked up the last of my recent pottery mugs, from the class that my husband and I took at our local community centre. As you can tell, I have a love of tree themes.

Happy Father’s Day to those who’ve raised children lovingly

Four moose on the road in one day. That’s Newfoundland for ya.

Have a peaceful weekend, friends and colleagues. Shabbat shalom from Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland.

Most eastern point in North America — Cape Spear, Newfoundland

Remember last summer we drove from Ottawa, to Vancouver Island, to PEI, and home again? Well, we just completed our cross-Canada trip: St John’s, Newfoundland! 🇨🇦
