Gun registry deceptive
Dr. Robert Cushman’s letter “Health pros support gun control,” (The Hill Times, April 14) is yet another attempt to take taxpayers off the true issues facing the Canadian Firearms Program (CFP). Simply put, the entire program has been presented to Canadians in a cloud of deception. The federal government knew from the beginning that it […]
Comartin exaggerates nuclear facts
NDP MP Joe Comartin’s editorial piece (The Hill Times, May 5, 2003 “Time for Nuclear Debate”) contains exaggerations and errors regarding the Canadian nuclear industry’s safety record and its contribution to Canada as a clean and safe energy source. The Canadian nuclear industry is proud of the fact that nuclear power will help Canada to […]

SARS: Or what you don’t know can hurt you: Health research is truly the light that is leading us out of the darkness
OTTAWA–The recent global outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) provides a number of important lessons for Canada. First, we have an incredibly dedicated clinical and public health community who have literally put their lives at risk to help contain this new infectious and very serious disease. And second, Canada’s health research community ranks amongst […]
Terrific Twenty-Five staffers
Political staffers don’t often get publicly recognized for their talent. Just ask any one who toils behind the scenes or who works for a prima donna Cabinet minister, or an MP or Senator with a double personality. But if the boss is top drawer, the staffer will be too. There are stars in the political […]

Firearms-related deaths dropping
Regarding the letter to the editor, “Health pros support gun control,” (The Hill Times, April 14), written by Ottawa’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Robert Cushman. This letter is yet another example of a person who thinks that because he is a doctor he is qualified to speak on any topic with authority. He is quick […]
One out of two ain’t bad…
Well, not when it comes to rumours. The hot talk over in the National Press Club, meanwhile, last week had Globe and Mail bureau chief Shawn McCarthy heading off to Washington, D.C., as the paper’s new correspondent in Power Town. He was supposed to be replacing Paul Koring, who was said to be leaving D.C., […]

Paul Martin garners 124 to 127 MPs for support. These same elected Liberal MPs have either been brain washed, or promised greater things for this support. I cannot imagine anyone supporting the new “emperor,” when Martin has little or no opinion on any subject. He has not spoken out about his stance on gun control […]
