A crisis of neglect: How society can help those with mental illness
Tuesday, July 18th, 2023
‘If you really want to make a difference, stop thinking about diagnosis and symptoms, start thinking about recovery… it’s people, place, and purpose. Social support, a decent environment with housing and food and things that help people to prosper, and people will have to have something to live for.’

Get Ontario to work
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012
Feb. 22, 2012
Drummond got it wrong. Indeed, while MPPs are literally debating his proposed cuts right now, they should be considering a different type of cut: to Ontario’s long list of barriers to job creation and economic growth… Drummond dismisses any hope of robust growth, claiming that the province can’t beat 2% annually in the coming years… It’s true that Ontario wastes billions, but cuts alone won’t save it… Ontario needs a systematic attack on job-killing labour laws, time-consuming approval processes, and overly strict regulations.

June 7,2010
We must emphasize health, and not just health care… There is a role for the private sector in health-care delivery… People need to pay more directly for their health care… Canada has first-rate physicians and nurses – but a second-rate health-care system. Canadians deserve first-rate care capacity, first-rate health prevention and first-rate technology. And enough physicians and nurses to deliver it to our patients. And that is the system we deserve.
