Jane Philpott listens to an address at the B.C. Assembly of First Nations in Vancouver Sept. 19, 2019.
If I’m honest with myself, a bit of my sadness was a recurrence of the grief I felt when my political career ended abruptly because I stood firm on a matter of principle. I didn’t go into politics because I needed a good job; I chose politics because I knew it could be a powerful tool to improve people’s lives. I loved being able to introduce or change laws and regulations that would promote better health.
For instance, we can look to the expertise and creativity of universities. I’m now working in this sector, and it’s ideally positioned to accelerate social change. Solving big problems is literally on our to-do list. We have hundreds of researchers who spend their days trying to answer the world’s most pressing questions. We propose solutions, test them, then go back to the drawing board to get an even better answer. We create the space for many perspectives to be heard.
The word mandate is SEXIST. come on people, MANdate? How does it feel to be a woman under a MANdate? We need gender neutral language NOW
A great read. My bias is towards mental health and addictions. Ontario's healthcare budget is comparable to many non-western countries national budgets. All politicians must get round the table and create a mental health strategy that will not change each election cycle.
I remember her statement when she became health minister. “That allot of healthcare dollars were being spent on things not related to healthcare”. Or something like that. I thought that was so acurate!
janephilpott I honestly am not afraid to announce to people a private For-profit Healthcare System because for one reason, God will provide everything, and realistically our jobs and businesses will do things like provide ER benefits for their employees. It's not a huge change in premiums.
Absolutely Brilliant Lady. We don't need Polls or Protests We need solid individuals like Jane & Co. to help move forward & get it done ! Remember 40 years ago all the meetings were about the great problem of the Aging Baby-boomers... With never a solution?
