About this episode

Co-operation is replacing hyper-partisanship as Canadian politicians respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Can this become the “new normal?”

And how will co-operative federalism work to tackle the glaring gaps in long-term care and paid sick leave for workers who fear losing income so show up ill and spread the virus?

We asked Jody Wilson-Raybould, the Independent MP for Vancouver Granville and a previous contributor to Each For All.  Our discussion is wide-ranging and contemplates a society that puts people and health first, including rights recognition for Indigenous communities. This episode aired May 12, 2020.
