Call the Question

Elizabeth Cull joins us to share some fascinating stories of her time in government in the 1990s as Minister of Health, Minister of Finance and as Deputy Premier. Elizabeth talks about the steps she took to legalize midwifery in BC, offer Hepatitis B vaccinations to every BC kid through our public schools, and a little Order-in-Council she passed to protect women's access to safe, legal abortions in BC. She also talks about how she learned to play the boys' political game better than they could, and how important activists and community organizations continue to be in making meaningful change (the "inside-outside game," as Maria calls it). Lesli and Maria wrap the episode with our analysis of the 2019 Federal Election results. Catch Elizabeth Cull each week on the political panel on CBC Victoria's On the Island morning show with Gregor Craigie.
