Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Dr. Malcolm Moore, a medical oncologist  at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Dr. Fahad Razak, an internist and epidemiologist at Unity Health Toronto, Dr. Alisa Naiman, a family physician and founder and medical director of The Medical Station in Toronto. 

This upcoming Saturday will be the three year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our panel reflects on how far we've come. Meanwhile, a new report by the province's patient ombudsman reveals that many patient complaints are driven by inadequate staffing at long-term care homes and hospitals.  Also, as we reported earlier this week, NACI is recommending that Canadians who have a high risk of serious illness should get their bivalent COVID-19 booster shot in the Spring. Finally, numerous NDP MPPS are calling on the Ford government to give clarification on a partnership that an Ottawa hospital has with a private corporation that is leasing their operating and recovering rooms on Saturdays. Our panel has the latest.

It's International Womens Day today and to mark the occasion we have invited two Canadian women leaders we feel have done a great job of advocating for our more diverse communities. They share their respective stories and talk about how we can make Canada a more inclusive place for all including religious minorities and the LGBTQ+
