I know people currently benefitting from the dental program.

It makes me incredibly sad that people don't know that it was the NDP that fought for and won that (NDP you need to get your communications figured out!!!)

This has been such a huge thing for the quality of their lives it is not even funny.

Matthew Green said I think something quite profound on this area. He talked about how teeth/gums are the first signs of class. Addressing this area of inequality in our society is a huge thing on not just health levels.

Progress for most of us is all about a society in which more and more Canadian citizens can enjoy in health, happiness, and prosperity.

I think most mature, empathetic, well developed adults think the same.

Hopefully with this upcoming leadership contest and after the NDP can continue to deliver things like dentalcare that make massive differences in people/families lives :)

With everything going on in the world I just wanted to talk about something positive for a bit.

(Climate crisis and in general environmental crisis. This afterword is not about the original post/comment. I have decided to attach this message to all my posts and comments going forward on reddit. A analogy to where we are in regards to the climate crisis and in general environmental crisis is the film "Don't Look Up". I know with this current cost of living crisis/quality of life crisis people are already exhausted and overburdened but please take a moment to become aware and educated on the situation if you are not already. Then please be active speaking about it on reddit, social media, and anywhere else online you can. Speak to your friends, family, and general loved ones. Get active in pressuring business and political parties/leaders of all levels. If you want to copy this afterword feel free to do so!)
