In episode #433 of Talking Radical Radio, Scott Neigh interviews Kevin Skerrett and Nancy Parker. They are active with the Make Revera Public campaign, which is pushing the federal government to transform Revera -- a major provider of long-term care in Canada -- from a for-profit corporation into a public sector entity and a fully integrated element of our public health care system. This campaign is happening in the wake of the terrible impact of COVID-19 on long-term care residents, particularly residents of for-profit, private sector homes, and is focusing on Revera because it is 100% owned by a public sector pension fund. They talk about long-term care, COVID-19, pensions, and the Make Revera Public campaign.
