A billion dollars plus and 14 years later, the usefulness of the program objectives has continued to remain open to discussion. While there still are a few more hurdles to cross, I hope the n

Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, David Butler-Jones, is continuing to urge Canadians to get the H1N1 flu vaccine. While I can understand his predicament in not being able to suddenly downplay the importance of getting the vaccine, especially after all the hype to get it, there are others that are saying the need is no longer urgent.

$53 million and no further ahead. The Cornwall inquiry, headed by Normand Claude, into allegations of a possible pedophile ring has come up empty handed. Big surprise!
