You're right, Yvonne, that Green philosophy (and existing member-made policies) promote a holistic and preventative approach to medicine and wellbeing. I agree! I chose this wording because I'm curious to see if it would resonate in terms of something candidates can say during elections. Greens have long advocated for free post-secondary, but we're a long way away from that. Lack of doctors and nurses is, without a doubt, an election issue for 2025. What are Greens going to say? I feel this is a strongly worded, simple statement: that Greens feel free post-secondary should apply to all, but for now let's start with our most vital, most needed sector.
