While I empathize with her concerns, she is trying to choose an option she doesn't have.
This 'headline' can't be correct - something's awry here ...
</sarcasm>
For one thing, the issue of the SARS warning which they brushed off based on financial concerns. Ridiculous. Here we have one of the most potentially deadly virus outbreaks in the Northern continent and they're screaming bloody murder because the WHO tells everyone else they may not have it under control.
We have nurses here who are in touch with the people up there and from what they're saying the situation is as bad as I make it sound.
Canadian officials have already made it clear they are ready to disregard public safety giving priority to fiscal concerns instead.
I have exceptionally sound reasons to believe they are doing their best to obscure and bury necessary information. It's a crime against all humanity in my eyes, damn all Socialists and Communists to hell.
Based on, at best, fourth or fifth hand information as related by the press - who are parties in this with self-serving motivations (circulation numbers et al) as well ...
Thanks Friendly, you summarized two of the most important points in the Steyn article, much better than he did in the first place.
I enjoy listening to Steyn when he is interviewed on the radio once a week, but his article seemed a little wordy. So, like others here who just skim things, I missed many of his good points the first time I saw it.
Sars is not the flu.
Even at double their normal salary, it is just barely comparable to US nurse salaries. The tight-wad socalized medicine system in Canada is too cheap to pay what the market demands. So instead they revert to FORCE. Typical of a Socialist State.
It they had thought of tripling the salary, AND giving them decent protection, the market would flood them with volunteers.
I detect a coverup ....

And that US salary would be?
btw, Canada put obvious fake diagnoses on SARS deaths (Mark Steyn allegations).
Hindsight is a great thing. And imagination sometimes even greater. Where does Steyn, in any of his articles, make those allegations? Allegations which are allegations of illegal activity , which even Steyn knows enough not to make in print.
Why? Because they're not true.
