Dr. Whatley spoke with Barry about why the right must talk about the morality of gender-affirming care, assisted suicide.  Why are we so reluctant to speak about morality in these very serious issues? 

Dr. Whatley’s recent book, When Politics Comes Before Patients: Why and How Canadian Medicare is Failing,

“Successive governments, regardless of political stripe, know all too well that Canada's system of health care is one of the defining characteristics of "being a Canadian", and any changes deemed harmful will have them thrown out of power. Thus, decades of cuts around the margins, centralized control, federal/provincial infighting, and government oversight has left doctors and hospitals with little input on how your health dollars are allocated and spent. Citizens are being left to languish in pain for months, sometimes years, because the current cost and delivery system is programmed for the benefit of governments staying in power. That was not what was intended. Medicare should be about delivering high-quality and timely healthcare value for Canadians.”

Todd Anderson, Principal of Augustine College shares with Barry the mission and focus of the College to train young people how to think

“From the Greeks in the West, from the early stages, in our literature courses all the way up to the modern period, whether it is in philosophy, science, or the history of art or music – we cover all these pieces from a Christian perspective.  The goal is not to say that this tradition doesn’t have its problems or its concerns but it is to say these are the best things we have produced as a society and they are fundamentally Christian, or have a Christian ethos in them….  We are thinking through what has framed and shaped society,” and how can students use that as they launch themselves into their careers.
