The article highlights the impact of Canada's national dental care program, which provides free dental services, including extensive dental work exemplified by Ron Brydges, an 84-year-old retiree. The program, endorsed by the New Democratic Party, is part of a broader array of social initiatives aiming to enhance the country’s reputation for liberalism. However, the New Democrats face challenges ahead of the national elections, particularly due to political tensions with the U.S. and declining support for the party amidst significant political changes.
