“This is the frightening thing to me, that the lesson that Canada's far right - which is increasingly how one would have to define the Prairie conservative parties - has learned is not to do what must be done to achieve the best outcomes, but to turn off the lights as soon as possible. The political calculus won out over the moral. Whatever the issue - COVID, suicide rates, poverty, crime, employment - if the lesson is to hide and obscure the data earlier and more effectively, then the very idea of a Canada led by its people is at risk. Free and timely access to information is an essential ingredient for democracy.”

“When we undertake interventions that decrease income inequality, we also decrease heart disease and stroke. When we tackle food security, we tackle diabetes. When we improve literacy, we improve life expectancy. We save lives, and we save money. Investments today pay off over time in lowered health, social services, and justice costs, in economic productivity.”
