December 13 2025-How the Jews Wrote Christmas & Is Primary Care Getting Better for Ontarians? From Rudolph to Snowmen, Winter Wonderlands to Sleigh Bells – Christmas songs and their imagery have become a significant part of pop culture. But did you know that most of the most popular ones are the work of people who didn’t celebrate Christmas at all? Pianist and music lecturer Jordan Klapman tells us how the Jews Wrote Christmas! And Finally, some good news on what is likely the biggest crisis in our healthcare system - the shortage of family doctors. A new study finds - it’s getting better - more Canadians have a family doctor or nurse practitioner now than 3 years ago. The bad news is that nearly 6 million people around the country still don’t have a primary care point person. Dr. Tara Kiran is a family doctor and researcher and she led the study as part of a project called OurCare.
