238, Nikolas Barry-Shaw on fighting for national Pharmacare in Canada

This interview details the ways that grassroots activism played a role in the successful struggle to begin implementing a national Pharmacare program in Canada. Public healthcare in Canada has been a reality for decades but one of the missing element was a public drug policy, over the course of multiple Liberal governments there have been promises to make that a reality. In the context of a Liberal NDP coalition government in 2023, due to the pressure of grassroots campaigning that Nikolas Barry-Shaw was involved in through the Council of Canadians a Pharmacare act is close to reality now.
