Another great presentation by Wordfest discussing “Health For All” by Jane Philpott who’s seeking to create a Canada Primary Care Act in 2035- healthcare for all, that is more than the sum of its parts. I’m in!

Calgary’s Wordfest with CEO Shelley Youngblut and host Christina Frangou not only met but exceeded their reputations. We had fabulous audiences, an inspired team of organizers, and so many people who wanted to talk about #HealthForAll . Thank you for your generous support!❤️

Hearts full of hope after an evening with Jane Philpott tonight, in Calgary. #HealthcareForAll Penguin Random House 🐧🏠📚

A big thank you to Wordfest for hosting Jane Philpott tonight. Another amazing interview by Christina Frangou.

Left feeling inspired and positive for the future of health care in Canada ❤️

Thanks to the Wordfest crew for a great night with Ken Dryden. Aiden Youngblut is such a delightful and engaging host for these things. 9 yr old me can’t believe what just happened. #yyc

What an amazing adventure at Wordfest - especially loved #HexingThePatriarchy . But so many beautiful moments with words… (also v interesting to see many WOC authors masked while others didn’t).

What a brilliant audience at my event with Ashley Audrain ( #TheWhispers , dark, daring, highly recommended) and Calgary media legend Leah Sarich - we could have continued our chinwag all day! Wordfest has been a blast (really hope they’ll invite me again 😉) #TheOnlySuspect

Bravo to Shelley Youngblut & the Wordfest team for an outstanding #Imaginairium event! So many impressive authors, so many fascinating interviews! #yyc

Had lots of fun volunteering at Wordfest this morning!

This is how powerful Michelle Good presentation was today for her book Truth Telling for Wordfest. A large group of Indigenous Youth gathered around at the end to hear more wisdom and conversation. Very insightful event. #TruthandReconciliation
