Canadians Flunk Being Canadian
I was scanning the news and came across an article on Reuters site that intrigued me. It was titled "Most Canadians would fail own citizenship test". As a Canadian I thought this was interesting. But before I could write this post blasting Canadians I figured I better do a test or 2 and see how I fared. I mean I would hate to put my size 9's in my mouth. I took 3 practice citizenship tests that give a series of questions similar to ones people taking the real citizenship test would get.
Canada`s Gun Registry Has Not Improved Public Safety
Canada`s homicide rate and number of gang-related murders has increased since the federal government`s firearms registry and licensing program was implemented, an indication that the program has failed to improve public safety, according to Hubris in the North, The Canadian Firearms Registry, a new report from independent research organization The Fraser Institute.
Nearly 40 per cent of Canadians against dual citizenship: poll
Thirty-nine per cent of Canadians believe Canadian citizens should not be allowed to simultaneously hold citizenship in another country, according to a new poll released by the Dominion Institute.
The wrong doctor at the wrong time
Dr Brian Day begins his tenure as the head of the Canadian Medical Association in August. He is expected to spend his term promoting private care over the public system.An orthopedic surgeon, Day is the founder of a private clinic whose patients are mainly people with third-party insurance, such as workers' compensation.Day, who will take over leadership of the CMA in August, is a staunch advocate of the role of privately paid health care in the Canadian system.This means that at a critical juncture for the continued survival of Canada's public healthcare system, doctors have chosen to represent them someone unlikely to try to improve the public system, and who could, in fact, undermine it.If there were reason to believe our public health-care system would be improved by the addition of privately funded services or clinics, or even a parallel, private system, Day's leadership could be welcomed.But in reality, such proof is thin on the ground.
Canadian citzenship and the generational divide
