A Canadian Physician’s Experience of the Current Healthcare System in America I am near the end of another busy shift in a major Canadian emergency department. The nurse in charge asks me to see two women in the minor care area – a daughter and her elderly mother. Both of them are in tears and pale with fear.

Obama’s Hollow “Judgment” and Empty Record
Read Joe Wilson: Obama’s Hollow “Judgment” and Empty Record. Needless to say, we all know Wilson speaks from experience on the lead up to Iraq:
A Sea Change?
During the last debate, Hillary mentioned the “Sea Change” that would occur with a woman president. She didn’t elaborate . . . not wanting to ignite the political gender hot potato . . . but she did talk of a change in everything from the people who are selected for leadership to little girls knowing they could one day become president. She left it at that. I see another Sea Change. The Big Mo has stopped. Have you noticed?...
At This Point, “Double Standard” Is Ridiculous Understatement
The Web’s most popular liberal forum is on fire because of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 60 Minutes interview about the rumor that Sen. Obama is a Muslim. Obama was careful to say, when it was his turn, that the rumor is offensive to Muslims because of its presumption. Clinton said she “takes him (Obama) at his word” that he is not a Muslim.

Businesses don’t like being under threat of invasion by...

Barack The Uniter’s Thin Record and His Cabinet Plans
Barack Obama has made plenty of claims about being the great “uniter” but his record on working across the aisle is relatively “thin“. We know that “Hillary Clinton has been trying to make a point about Barack Obama that deserves one last careful look before Tuesday’s probably decisive Democratic primaries.” David Ignatius clarifies “If Obama truly intends to unite America across party lines and break the Washington logjam, then why has he shown so little interest or aptitude for the...
Hillary’s Green Agenda
As the sound-bites and gotchas from the earliest presidential debates have been repeated over and over by the media in this election cycle, many critical and complex topics have gotten at best cursory treatment. One such topic is the environment: the crises we’re facing, the accomplishments of the candidates, and the plans that they have put forward on issues like green energy, global warming, pollution, and wildlife conservation. Hillary’s agenda Hillary Clinton has stressed repeatedly, and in detail, a...
