Dr. Carolyn Bennett will be coming to UofT to talk to students about Canada’s healthcare system and how the Canadian experience might serve as a model for US healthcare reform.

On 30 September 2009, Dr. Bennett testified before the  US Special Senate Committee on Aging to set the record straight on Canada’s healthcare system.  As we know, the Canadian system has been maligned by the Republican attack machine and the pundits on Fox News and elsewhere.  Dr. Bennett went to Washington to set the record straight, and prove that even if the Harper Government wasn’t going to step up and defend our system from conservative attacks, Canadians can count on their elected officials to protect a system that we hold near and dear to our hearts.

This event will be highly interactive, and will feature video footage of Dr. Bennett’s testimony.  We hope you’ll join us for this informative and unique event.
