Thanks for this Dennis. I was shocked to hear this on my local CBC broadcast this morning and plan to send them a ton of your work when I am back at my desk tomorrow. Talk about missing the point. Ann

What a wonderful way to begin the new year. NOT. 

If you live in Toronto call Metro Morning Answering Machine 

416-205-5807 

and tell them to begin paying attention to 40 years of accumulated 
research that states that living conditions are the primary factors that 
shape health.   

Mention Health Council of Canada Report, WHO Commission on SDOH, and 40 
years of Health Canada and Canadian Public Health Association documents 
and statements. 

For those who are real gluttons for neglect and punishment, mention: 
Social Determinants of Health: The Canadian Facts.
