Description

Guest: Dr. Alika Lafontaine, president of the Canadian Medical Association As the second National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaches to remember the Indigenous children who died in residential schools, the question remains: how does a country move forward with reconciliation without coming to terms with its past? Dr. Alika Lafontaine is the Canadian Medical Association’s first Indigenous president in its 155-year history and joins today’s episode to speak about how close or far we are from true reconciliation, and how Canada’s dark colonial legacy extends beyond residential schools to virtually every institution, including health care. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Alexis Green and Paulo Marques.
