Jana.....the only "problem" with the Canadian health care system is when we elect right wing, neo-con provincial governments that want to "Redirect the public attention to the role of competative markets in providing for the health and education of our citizens". Translation......."we want our rich buddies (doctors etc.) to be able to make a killing off the system and then they will appoint us to their boards of directors at fat salaries, when we can't get elected anymore".

That's not a problem with the health care system, thats a problem with our democratic system.

As a message to the ruling class in Iran, remember this famous quote "resistance is futile, you will be assimilated".

This is not new news! James Lovelock has written about Arctic carbon being one of the feedback devices which will provide a tipping point that we may have already passed. 500 ppm will be the new watchword to a "new" world for a couple of hundred thousand years.

It sounds like Lady Shelley Sawyers isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer! In my opinion anyone who discloses so much as their true name on the internet has a lot to learn about fraud and identity theft.
