We are aware of
how sufficient numbers of citizens and their perseverance can lead to real
political change; as well as the need for effective leadership to provide a
clear vision. For certain influential leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr.
during the civil rights movement, Nelson Mandela with the fight to end
apartheid, and Tommy Douglas who established Medicare in Canada, this vision
adopts a particular form of social justice. Recently, I finished reading “A Healthy Society” by Ryan Meili, a Saskatchewan doctor, which provided a short
but well-rounded primer on this subject.
