Impact Talk by Jon Tirmandi
Tommy Douglas said Medicare would come in two phases: remove the financial barrier, then reorganize how care is delivered. Canada built phase one in the 1960s. Phase two never started.
Watch Jon Tirmandi, CEO of Normative, lay out five foundational shifts—drawn from Estonia, the Netherlands, Finland and right here at home—that could finally rebuild Canadian healthcare around people instead of buildings, budgets and org charts.
This talk was presented live at Rotman School of Management at Impact Talks: Picture of Health in May 2026.
