The majority of Canadians recognize that if we don’t overcome COVID-19 everywhere, we won't be able to effectively control it in Canada. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, Julia Anderson, CEO of CanWaCH, remains with us for the second part of the discussion to talk about: 

• Public opinion polling and deliberative democracy as a tool to facilitate advocacy; 
• Importance of appropriately framing issues around Canadian foreign policy; 
• Activating the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Waiver; 
• Diversion of healthcare resources away from other urgent health issues, and
• How she learned transferable skills to advance her career in international development and global health.
