February 14 2026-The State of Zoomer Love & Improving Canadian Healthcare With most people focused on coupling up, this Valentine’s weekend, we thought it is a good time to look in on Zoomer singles. In 2016, approximately 1.4 million Canadians aged 65 and over lived alone, accounting for more than one-quarter (26%) of that demo. The figure that rises sharply with age. By 2021, 42% of people aged 85 and older lived alone. The vast majority are women and a lot of them like it this way. I talked with Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, about whether older Canadians are looking for love. And Dr. Danielle Martin has been chosen to run for the Liberals in the bi-election that will be held in former deputy PM Chrystia Freeland’s old riding. University Rosedale is considered a safe Liberal seat and it is a safe bet Dr. Martin will play a big role in the government healthcare strategy. So here we revisit my 2017 interview on her book "Better Now: Six Big Ideas to Improve Health Care for All Canadians".
