Life After COVID is a FREE eBook that examines the major issues Canada faces as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The eBook was written by five organizations, including SecondStreet.org, and discusses the following topics:

• Health care – Thousands of surgeries were postponed during the pandemic. How do we address that problem and improve the system for patients?
• Government finances – Governments piled up mountains of debt during COVID. How can that problem be managed while protecting taxpayers?
• Economic growth – How can governments help create jobs without cutting cheques?
• Rights review – Many of our personal freedoms were trampled during COVID-19. What was warranted? What went too far?
• Democratic institutions – From failing to pass budgets to avoiding legislative debate, governments sidestepped many of our democratic processes.
• What about the original emergency plans? Why were the government’s original emergency plans ignored? What needs to change if there’s another emergency?
