Abstract
Can health promotion in Canada effectively respond to the challenge of 
reducing health inequities presented by the WHO Commission on Social 
Determinants of Health? Against a background of failure to take seriously 
issues of social structure, I focus in particular on treatments of stress 
and its effects on health, and on the destructive congruence of Canadian 
health promotion initiatives with the neoliberal "individualization" of 
responsibility for (ill) health. I suggest that the necessary reinvention 
of the health promotion enterprise is possible, but implausible.
