“…Analyzing the way that beliefs, behaviours, concepts, and practices are transferred from group to group, rural to urban centres, and back to rural communities, Aboriginal peoples and immigrants to Euro-Canadians, across generations and genders through the creation and implementation of official policy and unofficial cultural practices as Medicare has evolved will require historians to apply their many skills to "understanding the complexity, subtlety, and multidimensionality of history and human experience." 30 The reward for so doing will benefit both the practice of history and the craft of policy making.…”

This article urges Canadian historians to undertake research into the many neglected aspects of the origin and evolution of Canadian Medicare. As a visible component of civic ideology and national identity, Medicare illustrates not only the nation-building aspects of the welfare state but also the ongoing redefinition of federal/provincial/territorial relations, the power of region, class and gender, and the need for historical understanding of the roots of contemporary healthcare problems to aid politicians, bureaucrats and the public in making critical policy decisions now and in the future.

During the last decade there has been increasing interest in combining veterinary and human medicine, mainly in the areas of vaccination and the eradication of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases. Although the roots of this "One Health-One Medicine" approach can be found in ancient Egypt and Greece, the roots of the philosophy of "one medicine" have not been so thoroughly discussed. In this paper I will analyse some ideas that could unite veterinary and human medicine, from Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) and Calvin W. Schwabe (1927-2006). Both are recognized as important theoretical founders of the philosophy of one medicine. I will also further develop these thoughts to meet some of the discussions taken place today.
