Abstract
The devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic taught us vital public policy lessons in Canada about the necessity of public healthcare, the feasibility of universal and unconditional income support, and the urgency of moving towards a new post-growth economy that is in harmony with the environment and allows people to control their time and life choices. Social work has a key role to play in helping us to navigate our way past the pandemic emergency and towards such a radical new vision of an economically just and ecologically sustainable Canadian society.
Résumé
Les ravages de la pandémie de COVID-19 nous ont appris des leçons importantes en matière de politique publique au Canada, entre autres concernant la nécessité du système de santé publique, la faisabilité d’un revenu minimum universel garanti et l’urgence de passer à un nouveau modèle économique qui s’harmonise avec l’environnement et permet aux individus de contrôler leur temps et leurs choix de vie. Le travail social a un rôle clé à jouer pour nous aider à naviguer au-delà de l’urgence pandémique, vers une nouvelle vision radicale d’une société canadienne économiquement juste et écologiquement durable.
