"Dr Paul Kershaw is a farmer morning and night. By day, he is an academic, public speaker, media contributor and volunteer. "Armed with a laptop and a raft of statistics," The Vancouver Province describes him as "a one-man road show trying to change BC one talk at a time."
Change is necessary, he argues, because BC's generation of 25-44 year olds struggle, which is having harmful consequences for the next generation of children. 30% of BC children arrive at kindergarten developmentally vulnerable, and most are not poor.
Among the general public, he argues that 'Being Canadian' may be making us sick, because the medical system in which we take national pride shows more of a disease fetish than an aspiration to promote health by investing in families with young kids."
His five part presentation "Smart and Green Family Policy" can be found on his blog....
