Significant progress in #Canada where all but one medical school have #FirstNations representation in #leadership roles. A breach of #culturalsafety is a professional breach that can be addressed by authorities. @RicharLisa @Royal_College #IMS2023

Staff MD 1: So it’s not a place where people ride around on horseback with carts and buggies?
Staff MD 2: Where they go around shooting bows and arrows at each other?

It was all smiles and accolades at the launch, but everyone seems to be glossing over the centre’s funding source and the huge ethical problems that raises.
The centre is being funded by The Foundation for a Smoke-Free World. Here’s their President, Derek Yach, talking about the new research centre. vimeo.com/285901659
