Canada Beyond COVID

During the recent convention, CFNU unveiled a new magazine: Canada Beyond COVID. The publication includes twelve articles focusing on health care, equity and policy, all with a view towards building a healthier and more equitable society. The magazine is framed in the introductory interview with Dr. Jim Stanford, one of Canada’s leading economists, who argues passionately that Canada needs a ‘New Deal’ post-COVID.  

The online magazine features plain language interviews with many of the researchers CFNU has worked with in the past and contains direct links to recent CFNU research publications, along with other resources.

Canada Beyond COVID includes Mario Possamai on pandemic planning, Dr. Pat Armstrong on LTC, Dr. Steve Morgan on pharmacare, Dr. Nick Carleton on nurses’ mental health, Dr. Ivy Bourgeault on the health workforce and nurses’ workloads and Dr. Courtney Howard on nurses and the environment.

The magazine also introduces you to Nicole Welch, RN, Chief Nursing Officer for Toronto Public Health, Alex Vincent, a community-based RN in Ottawa, Metis Senator and lawyer Yvonne Boyer, Morna Ballantyne, an advocate for universal childcare, and Sharmeen Khan, a migrants’ rights activist.

CFNU hopes you will share this resource and encourage everyone to download the insightful 55-page magazine. Go to nursesunions.ca/research/canada-beyond-covid-magazine.

Together, we can build a healthier and more equitable Canada.
