  • Summary

  • Ontario’s premier says “the worst thing” that can happen to a neighbourhood is a supervised drug consumption site. He’s closing nearly half the centers in the province — and wants to ban new ones. We talk to one centre about what this means for drug users and a mayor who wishes the premier had gone further.


    Also — a rail work stoppage that threatened the Canadian economy is … almost resolved? Some trains are rolling, but there’s still risk. The House digs into the political forces at play in the complex case.


    Finally, the last instalment of our Book Smart Summer Series is here. Jane Philpott sits down with Catherine Cullen to talk about her book Health for All: A Doctor's Prescription for a Healthier Canada and how she thinks primary care in this country can be fixed.


    This episode features the voices of:


    • CBC’s Janyce McGregor
    • Juanita Lawson, CEO, NorWest Community Health Centres
    • Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton
    • Jane Philpott, former federal health minister, author, Health for All: A Doctor's Prescription for a Healthier Canada
