Sad to think that once we were one of the two largest suppliers of medical isotopes in the world and now it's all being shut down...<br /><br />Take care, ElliCondos in Torontohttp://ellidavis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-4744778202683800452009-06-12T16:59:35.368-04:002009-06-12T16:59:35.368-04:00Well done Jennifer.

Can you imagine how angry the public will be once they "get it"? No wonder we keep hearing it's all the Libs fault from Raitt, Harper & anyone else, Con only, who makes a statement on the issue. They ARE playing with peoples lives just to forward their ideology - privatize, privatize, privatize. How evil is that?penlanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830912393649649485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-54143145225592837052009-06-12T02:05:15.842-04:002009-06-12T02:05:15.842-04:00I had originally bought the whole line that the MA...I had originally bought the whole line that the MAPLES were fundamentally technically flawed, but after doing further reading, I'm beginning to suspect this was all part of the plan to 'get Canada out of the isotopes business' from the very beginning.<br /><br />I've got a few more useful links over at my place - let me know what you think.Jennifer Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610902519752808810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-25838635051881890542009-06-11T23:01:56.741-04:002009-06-11T23:01:56.741-04:00Anon, to your first question, yes.

Frank Luntz's memo, that's his memo on how to kill health care, came out in April. It says - talking point number five - "Health denial care horror stories in Canada and other countires do resonate, but you have to humanize them. You notice we recommend the phrase 'government takeover' rather than 'government run' or 'government control.'" Why? Because government takeover sounds even scarier. <br />So what did we hear in the chamber from our minority leader just recently? I quote - "Americans are concerned about a government takeover of health care and for good reason." And it goes on. So recognize that that is a point that's coming from a document about how to kill health care, not a responsible debate about the plan we have in front of us.<br /><br />....sound familiar? Sound Harperlike? Put the fear in people, misinform and fear - that's the message isn't it? <br /><br />Remember Jack Layton went down to Washington to try to let the US congress know the BS.....and I thought all along that someone in the US will know about Layton (very socialist to Americans).RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.com
