Earlier this month I joined a panel organized by CCPA Manitoba entitled: “Tackling the Polycrisis: Beyond a Balanced Budget in Manitoba.”
The panel was proceeded by an analysis of the costs of austerity, delivered by keynote speaker Jesse Hajer. Dr. Hajer is Associate Professor of Economics and Labour Studies at the University of Manitoba and a CCPA Manitoba research associate.
Other panelists included:
Laura Cameron, Director, Climate Action Team, Manitoba
Kyle Ross, President, Manitoba Government and General Employees’ Union & Manitoba Health Coalition Board Member
Hafiz Jatto, SPCW Community Animator & Manitoba Health Coalition Secretary
It was a privilege to join with these other local experts to discuss how we can invest in health care, climate action, reducing inequality, and rebuilding the civil service to make lives better for all Manitobans.
