Our special guest today is Pat Armstrong. Pat is a sociologist and distinguished Research Professor at York University, and a leading expert in eldercare. She, along with an international team, just published the report “Re-imagining Long-term Residential Care in the COVID-19 Crisis.” We’re going to take a deep dive into that issue. How did we get to this horrible place and what has to change from this point forward?
Plus, Jenni Byrne and Scott Reid are back for The Herle Burly Political Panel. We'll debate the odds of a fall election and the vulnerability that awaits the PM and Premiers as attention shifts to a faltering economy.
Watch conversations from The Herle Burly on YouTube.
The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as Queen's Park Today.
