Two important issues

Thank you Spectator for addressing two important issues: First, “A stealthy slide to a new health reality.” The pandemic obviously put us in this dangerous place. The Canada Health Act is what Tommy Douglas worked so hard on to ensure Canadians had access to care and were not bankrupted. The other article, March 2, was “Citizenship events are worth keeping.” Taking an oath of allegiance before a citizenship judge brings new Canadians together as newly recognized Canadians. If it is speeding up this process surely we can produce more judges to perform this duty that gives our new Canadians a feeling of belonging, rather than oath swearing on a laptop.
