Do you really want a group of conservative rednecks in charge of Canada's hospitals and the Canadian people? The only truly "democratic" parties in Canada are the Liberals or the NDP. No one in their right mind should ever vote for the Conservatives (Brain Mulroney's party). Chretien has done a good job of leading Canada. (J'adore Chretien!) But Paul Martin is corrupt and is leading Liberals towards more corruption. The NDP is looking very good under their leader Jack Layton. People get excited when they meet Jack Layton because he truly is a great leader with good ideas and a man of the people. He is like a new version of Trudeau. Jack Layton is Canada's best choice (my opinion) for a new prime minister. Maybe we should rename this ring "Layton-Mania". - A message from Ringmistress Suzy.
The Reform Party of Canada is gone and its been replaced by a penny-pinching Conservative Party that can't even win a majority government and is losing in the polls to the Liberals. Whatever happened to Reform Party? Stephen Harper betrayed them.

Doctor and nurse shortages in Canada are signs of the times, or rather signs that our babyboomers are getting old. With babyboomer doctors and nurses retiring, but with the majority of babyboomers going to the hospital more frequently, there is suddenly a shortage of doctors and nurses during the time when we need them most. Long waits for surgery or to see a specialist are now common place. But what are the solutions?
The average price for a litre of gas could hit 85 cents in Toronto and more in other parts of Canada. That's almost 2 cents above last year's Toronto high of 83.1 cents, which was a record, and 20 cents above yesterday's average price at the pumps across the city. The previous record was set last March at the onset of the Iraq war, which threatened to disrupt crucial supplies of crude oil from the Middle East.
Currently about 13 per cent or close to 1.7 million of Canadian workers are temporary, performing contract, seasonal, casual or agency work. But whereas one in 10 new hires was a temporary worker in 1989, that ratio has risen to one in five, according to Statistics Canada.
