Universal healthcare is supposed to mean that everyone gets equitable access, treatment and care. But do we really?
From the Canadian Race Relations Foundation and hosted by Dr. Alika Lafontaine, The Healthcare Divide is a new podcast that exposes uncomfortable truths, troubling realities and innovative efforts to overcome racism in Canada’s healthcare system.
Patients, healthcare workers and medical experts weigh in on everything from experiences of harm to grassroots care movements, policy change, and explorations of artificial intelligence to bridge the divide with real stories, data-driven insights, and expert interviews that expose the cracks in the system.

Front and Centre: Filipino Healthcare Workers and COVID
Filipino migrants make up a critical portion of Canada’s healthcare workforce, as nurses and care aides. They also have one of the lowest average employment incomes among groups designated as visible minorities.
Conditions such as low wages and precarious migrant status were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We examine what that crisis revealed about labour in Canada’s healthcare system.
Voices in this episode:
Dolie Anne Bulalakaw, assisted living worker
Valerie Damasco, assistant professor of sociology at Trent University.
Ethel Tungohan, associate professor of politics at York University
