Policies shape how we live our daily lives–how much we pay for groceries, how easily we can access healthcare, child care, and how much we spend on medication. We need long-term solutions that build up our communities and country–solutions that build hospitals, affordable housing, more child care, and free medication. 🏡Regardless of who you are or where you live, we all benefit from policies that make life better for everyone. 📣 Learn more and join our movement to demand better at www.demandbettertoday.ca or at our link in bio! #DemandBetterToday ...
