The Ontario Health Insurance Plan is a provincially supported health care program that required fifteen years to develop and emerged though seven distinct and frequently controversial stages. It was said at the time to have generated more heated debate in the House than any other legislation that previously had been approved by the provincial government.

In this way, The Journey from Prague to Vienna links the history of play with the politicization of children’s education.

History Publications
