The Hill Times featured the launch of Get Well Canada. Gen Squeeze founder Dr. Paul Kershaw: “By resisting provincial calls for even more medical spending, the Government of Canada has retained fiscal room to slow the flow of sickness into our clinics and hospitals because they are allowing room to invest where health begins,” in areas such as daycare, housing, and child care.

En collaboration avec Think Upstream, le Centre canadien de politiques alternatives, le Centre de collaboration nationale des déterminants de la santé et d'éminents chercheurs en santé de l'Université de Calgary et de l'Université Dalhousie, Generation Squeeze lance Get Well Canada, une alliance visant à investir là où la santé commence.

While inflation forces Canadians to focus on household budgets, it’s also important to pay close attention to government spending and its influence on our personal finances.

A new alliance of research and community leaders argues that Canada can’t achieve our health transformation and innovation goals so long as Premiers focus primarily on more money for medical care.

To fix our health care system, we need to focus more on the investments that will prevent illness and keep people well. And that’s more on the social side, that's child care, poverty reduction, housing investments, and so on.

We must focus more on the investments needed to prevent illness. Hospitals and clinics should be the last stops for health, not the first.

A five-decades-old federal tax shelter gives an unfair boost to homeowners in hot markets while shafting residents of the Prairies and Atlantic Canada.

I’d like to tell you about my experience of joining Generation Squeeze to do something about the problems I spent so long observing. I hope that learning about what we’ve been up to – and the progress we have seen so far – give you hope that change is possible. And that you can take part in it!

At a time of rising interest rates and rampant inflation, the move toward $10-a-day child care is a rare bit of financial good news for new and aspiring Canadian parents. But, as Ottawa has rolled out the plan, it’s become clear that many families will likely end up paying far more than 10 bucks per day. We should all work to make $10 per day into more than just a guideline.
