Summary

This week we have something extra special. We sat down with Dina, a palliative care social worker from Montreal, to discuss the gaps in the Canadian health care system. We talk about those who financially fall through the cracks when they or a loved one becomes sick, how the federal government can do better to support those who are vulnerable and steps you can take to feel safe and secure if sh*t hits the fan! HUGE thank you to MP's Andy Filmore, Darren Fisher and Geoff Regan and to Bionova Executive Director, Scott Moffitt, for sitting in on this important conversation!

And then I felt super guilty because I put way too much chlorine in the hot tub, and Kanye West was like, dude, why the fuck did you put so much chlorine in? I don't know why you would do that. I know. It was dumb. Anyway, I have been listening to all of these podcasts that I love. I love them so much. I don't know what to do. I just want to support them. And I have no idea how to do it.

I mean, you can go and you can contribute as little as like five bucks or as much as like $500 on a monthly basis. No shit. So anybody who loves Sickboy could go to our Patreon page that we have,

Is there a link? Is there a URL, I think it's called. Where would you go for that?
