This is a book about health care, advocacy, and the toll of covid-19.
This book brings together health care experts, community advocates, and average citizens from across Canada to offer a unique analysis of the first three years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The book explores the fragmentation of Canada's health care system, the growth of social inequalities, and the impact of colonialism, racism, ableism, and ageism on the well-being of people in this country.
It sheds light on the people our health care system undervalues and overlooks, including nurses, social workers, and essential caregivers.
This is an important collection of stories, insights, cautionary tales, and calls for action. It is also a harbinger of what's to come if we do not learn, change our trajectory, and fix what's broken.
This is a book like no other. It is a book that will open the reader's eyes to the realities that we all face as Canadians. We may think that the pandemic is over, and in many ways it is. But what isn't over is the aftermath of what happened.
Our health care system is in serious crisis. We have a lot to amend and change. Perhaps even lots to rethink. But I don't personally see any work being done on these lines. All the politicians are talking eloquently well but doing very little if anything about it that is long-lasting.
I think every Canadian should read this book, especially the people who are in positions of power and who change the status quo vis-à-vis our health care.
I think time is of the essence. The time to make changes is now.
