Thanks to CTV's The Social for inviting me to kick off their series "Care in Canada" by doing a deep dive into the primary care crisis. And yes, when more than 6.5 million people don't have access to primary care, it truly is a crisis. I talk about how we got into this mess, what people in Canada want to see in a better system and how we can get there. https://lnkd.in/gvsKUDEm As we head into a federal election, we need to educate ourselves on the issue and demand that all political parties present a plan to radically change things. We've got lots of resources to support your advocacy at OurCare.ca Thanks to hosts Melissa Grelo and Cynthia Foyst and producer Emilie Hanskamp cc Unity Health Toronto University of Toronto, Department of Family and Community Medicine MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions Ontario College of Family Physicians Ontario Medical Association Canadian Medical Association

NetZero is often the goal when addressing the climate crisis.
