  3. Black Wednesday for B.C. Nurses

    I have been told that BC hospitals plan to go recruiting in Nova Scotia to try to get nurses there to go to BC. I don't know how successful this will be, leaving one dictatorship for another. I think Alberta will be a much more attractive destinati...

  8. Universal Healthcare

    How true! There is a tendency in North America to measure everything in terms of money without any thought of what is moral or reasonable. This certainly prevails in health care and in other factors which are health determinants. So we have Bush rep...
