53% of adults between 60 & 79 and 50% of low-income people in Canada have no dental insurance. People in rural communities often lack access to dentists. #Dentalcare is #healthcare, and all people in Canada have a #right2health, so should we be doing more? https://t.co/ygdkHTbS4p

[UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing @adequatehousing]

A #HumanRights Based Housing Strategy must recognize the primacy of the #Right2Housing as a legal right subject to effective remedies

This is 1/10 principles reflected in @leilanifarha's report, written for governments developing their Housing Strateiges

It will be essential that the #NationalHousingStrategy fulfills the #right2housing - and that people in Canada are heard. We need access to justice and accountability! https://t.co/tX6q4zSEkX

The very small amount of public (government) resources going into oral health care in Canada is not enough to meet existing need and is not targeting all those in greatest need. https://t.co/WCd4E2sruu
