In the CMA election I'm voting for @jossreimer. I trust her judgment, integrity and intelligence more than any other colleague I know. The poise under pressure she demonstrated during crucial moments of the pandemic is unparalleled. I'm certain she's the best candidate!

Having known Dr Joss Reimer for nearly 2 decades, I can attest to the fact that she is an incredibly dedicated advocate for those who need a voice. Joss is an insightful and driven powerhouse as well as one of the most caring, relatable physicians I know. Having watched her navigate and lead our province through the pandemic in a novel role, I have no doubt in my mind that she will bring the same commitment and passion to physician advocacy on a national scale. Given the rise in awareness of physician needs - the timing couldn’t be any better to have someone like Dr Reimer lead the way!

She has my full support and I hope you as the reader will consider the same.

With not a particle of hesitation and maximum enthusiasm, I wish to endorse Dr @jossreimer,  who was front and centre in medical & moral leadership, assisting  and inspiring Manitobans in the fight against Covid-19, for  President-elect of the Canadian Medical Association @CMA_Docs.

To  my doc friends. Dr Joss Reimer is running for President for the Canadian Medical Association.  She is one heck of a doctor who listens  and cares about healthcare as a whole.  I am a nurse who works with her  on occasion yet even from the few times we’ve worked together, she is  attentive and focused and genuine in every interaction.  I no doubt feel  like she would be a great fit for the job.  Please take a look at her  new website and consider voting for her.

I am extremely pleased to endorse Dr Joss Reimer for President-elect of the CMA.  I have worked with Dr Reimer in her role of CMO and have been continually impressed with her leadership skills and her tireless efforts to respond to the needs of physicians. 


I am very confident in her ability to advocate for physicians as she so capably navigated complex political situations and public communications during the pandemic.  Her proven skills in this area make her standout as the most qualified candidate for this role.  I wholeheartedly support her in this.

What great news for Canadians that @jossreimer is running for @CMA_Docs pres. A top communicator w authenticity & integrity, she navigated a brutally difficult job in #PH and rightly maintained trust of the public & respect of her peers. No small feat. She has my vote...1/2


2/2 The insights of a doc w lived experience in successful top-tier PH leadership would be a profound asset to @CMA_Docs re: future pandemic & health equity advocacy. Dr. Reimer has insights - and values - that would position her to advocate for real change.

I  am not a doctor, I cannot vote, I do not know who else is running.  However, after leading the largest vaccine roll out in history for  Manitoba, @jossreimer does not take a break. Her commitment to the health & wellbeing of Canadians is so admirable - good luck @jossreimer !!
