Agree! I became increasingly irritated as I listened to cbc today and following Dennis's email was motivated to send an email. I think everyone on this list should do the same- this is SO disturbing! Thanks Dennis for starting the ball rolling

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.
