“…In Canada, Francophones are considered a linguistic minority; 21% of the country have French as their mother tongue (44). Findings from studies suggest that Francophones, as a linguistic minority, are at risk for languagebased discrimination in all 13 Canadian provinces and territories, except in the province of Quebec (45,46), resulting in limited access to services and resources (47). However, few studies have focused on Canadian Francophone older adults in terms of examining how they are portrayed in the public discourse, and precisely if and to what extent they may be the target of negative stereotypes.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has been particularly difficult for older Canadians who have experienced age discrimination. As the media can provide a powerful channel for conveying stereotypes, the current study aimed to explore how Canadian Francophone older adults and the aging process were depicted by the media during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to examine if and how the media discourse contributed to ageist attitudes and behaviors. A content analysis of two French Canadian media op-eds and comment pieces (n = 85) published over the course of the first wave of the pandemic was conducted. Findings reveal that the aging process was mainly associated with words of decline, loss, and vulnerability. More so, older people were quasi-absent if not silent in the media discourse. Older adults were positioned as people to fight for and not as people to fight along with in the face of the pandemic. The findings from this study enhance the understanding of theories and concepts of the Theory of Social Representations and the Stereotype Content Model while outlining the importance of providing older people with a voice and a place in the shaping of public discourse around aging. Results also illustrate the transversality and influence of ageism in this linguistic minority context.

“…The present analysis used a data subset from two previous studies: (1) care trajectories of francophones in the Champlain region (Drolet et al 2015;Dorlet et al 2017) and (2) integration of services for francophone seniors in Eastern Ontario and Manitoba (Kubina et al 2018), the subset consisting of the senior participants in the Champlain region. The region includes many health and social service providers designated under the Ontario French Language Services Act (Champlain LHIN 2014).…”

“…The purpose of this study is to examine facilitators and barriers to access to and continuity of French-language healthcare and social services in an OLMC: the Champlain region in Ontario. It presents a new analysis of a data subset from two interrelated qualitative studies: one examining care trajectories described by francophone seniors and their caregivers, as well as parents of children, living in the Champlain region 1 (Drolet et al 2015(Drolet et al , 2017, and the second exploring facilitators and barriers in FLS access and continuity in the Champlain region and in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with a wider diversity of actors -health and social service managers, providers, physicians, seniors and caregivers (Kubina et al 2018). Data were analyzed with the help of an analytical framework inspired by models and concepts previously found in the literature.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine access to and continuity of Frenchlanguage healthcare and social services in Ontario' s Champlain region through an analytical framework that incorporates people seeking care, their caregivers and the linguistic component of care into a health and social service system bounded by community, organizational, political and symbolic structures. Methods: Experiences of French-speaking seniors seeking care and those of health and social service providers and managers from two qualitative exploratory studies are used to describe trajectories through the system. Results: Participants exposed how, together with community vitality, issues within each of the system' s symbolic, political or regulatory and organizational structures influence these trajectories. Conclusions: To meet the needs of francophone seniors, additional work is needed to increase French-language services coordination within the organizational, regulatory and policy structures of the health and social service system. RésuméObjectifs : Examiner l' accès aux services sociaux et de santé en français, ainsi que leur continuité, dans la région de Champlain en Ontario, à l' aide d' un cadre d' analyse qui inclut la personne qui demande des services, ses proches aidants et la composante linguistique des services, dans un système de services sociaux et de santé encadré par des structures communautaire, organisationnelle, politique et règlementaire, et symbolique. Méthode : Les expériences de francophones ayant besoin de services, ainsi que celle de fournisseurs et de gestionnaires de services, tirées de deux études qualitatives exploratoires menées par notre équipe, sont utilisées pour décrire des trajectoires dans le système. Résultats : Les participants démontrent comment chacune des structures symbolique, politique et règlementaire, organisationnelle, et communautaire influence ces trajectoires. Conclusion : Pour répondre aux besoins des ainés francophones en situation minoritaire, la coordination des services sociaux et de santé offerts en français devrait être améliorée, tant au sein de la structure organisationnelle que de la structure politique et règlementaire.

“…Cependant, exprimer sa situation de santé dans la langue de l'autre constitue un obstacle majeur à la communication et à l'affirmation de ses besoins, ce qui peut participer à l'augmentation du stress, à l'établissement d'un diagnostic pouvant être erroné ou encore à l'administration d'un traitement inapproprié (Drolet, et collab., 2014). À cet effet, des auteures et auteurs affirment que l'accès aux services de santé dans sa langue en contexte francophone minoritaire constitue un défi de taille (Drolet, et collab., 2015;Forgues et Landry, 2014). À la lumière de ce qui vient d'être énoncé, il est possible d'apprécier en quoi l'état de santé en contexte francophone minoritaire est lié au statut socioéconomique et au niveau d'alphabétisme.…”

Cet article présente des résultats d’une recherche qualitative sur la santé des femmes vivant en situation de pauvreté en régions rurales francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick. C’est à partir de la métaphore de la courtepointe que les auteures ont étudié les contextes dans lesquels les femmes rencontrées développent des stratégies de prise en charge de leur santé. Les résultats soulèvent des enjeux d’ordres collectif et politique, puisque la pauvreté chez les femmes ne constitue pas un problème individuel. Il s’agit d’un phénomène social qui commande des actions structurelles dans un contexte où le filet de sécurité sociale est troué.This article presents the results of a qualitative research on the health of women living in poverty in rural francophone regions of New Brunswick. The quilt metaphor was used to illustrate the coping strategies that they develop when facing health issues. The findings raise collective and political concerns, as women’s poverty is not an individual problem, but a social phenomenon that requires structural changes in a context where the social safety net is inadequate
