Episode II: Health Inequities in Canada

Episode 2 takes you through three different Canadian provinces; Ontario, Quebec, and Manitoba. This episode solely discusses health inequities and the social determinants of health and why people who use drugs are often deterred from accessing health services due to stigma, racism, and/or lack of accessibility. This episode also draws parallel between Montreal's struggle for supervised consumption and Vancouver's fight with the federal government under Stephen Harper for supervised consumption in the supreme court of Canada.
