In this episode of 'Ask the Lawyer,' hosts Warren Berg and Cynthia Carels from Weir Bowen LLP discuss the ongoing issue of systemic racism in Canada's healthcare system, particularly its impact on Indigenous patients. With the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation approaching, they reflect on the recent apology from the Canadian Medical Association and how prejudice and colonization have affected Indigenous health outcomes. They also explore tragic cases like Joyce Echaquan and Brian Sinclair, and the legal recourse for families seeking justice through wrongful death claims.
Ask the Lawyer is heard the last Saturday of the Month on CFWE North & CJWE South in Alberta, Canada. For more information visit www.weirbowen.com & cfweradio.ca
