I have volunteered to work with a national panel of donors and the Canadian Blood Services to do some research and develop plans to increase donorship in Canada. So this got me thinking, what can I find out about current thoughts from donors? This is entirely for my own personal use, not part of a national program. Do you donate blood?

Please boost for more reach!

#MontrealCanadiens goalie Carey Price is doing what he can to help save a young girl’s life.

Teaming up with #HockeyGivesBlood on social media, Price posted a video on Thursday that urged young people with #FirstNations ancestry to #DonateBlood.

β€œI’m on here asking everyone with an #Indigenous background between the ages of 17 and 35 to join the #CanadianBloodService #StemCellRegistry,” he said.

I find this tainted blood controversy in the UK extraordinary: we don't always get it right in #Canada, but our Krever Inquiry into tainted blood in Canada took place in the mid-90s, heard almost 500 witnesses, and tabled its report to Parliament in 1997. Redress and reparations, to the extent possible, followed. The #RedCross ceded blood donation process to the new #canadianbloodservice

Here in #Alberta, the #CanadianBloodService cancelled masking quite awhile ago, even though it's the only place where I know for sure I was exposed to #COVID. Luckily, that was back in the days of mandatory masking so I didn't get it there. It's a criminally dangerous policy, in my opinion!
