November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada; a result of November 11th being the date the Armistice ending World War I was signed. It is the day Canadians commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war or conflict.

Everyone is treated the same by the BC government – except for those who aren’t.

Rich Coleman speaks of passing legislation stripping the homeless of their Charter rights by permitting police to use force to drag the homeless to the door of a shelter. Not in, just to the door.

I sincerely hope that Health Minister Kevin Falcon was lying through his teeth in his recent response to questions about cuts to mental health and addiction services.

If he actually believes what he was saying reflects the state of mental health and/or addiction services in BC … … there are a lot of British Columbians in need of those services who are *bleeped*, myself included.

Homelessnes: Did you know?

The suicide of Corey O'Brien was tragic, but the true tragedy of Corey’s Story (http://www.bclocalnews.com/fraser_valley/abbynews/news/62454...) is that nothing has been done about implementing the recommendations in “Lost in Transition” - the report on mental illness on the streets of Vancouver.

The hypocrisy, cynicism, imperiousness and ignorance in the BC Liberal governments announced new homeless policy demonstrates the Liberals apparent lack of either the leadership or ability to deal with the challenges facing the Province of BC.

The Canadian Payroll Association’s survey found 59 % of Canadians would have trouble making ends meet if their paycheque was delayed by even one week.

Obviously Canadians are wrong in thinking the role of the CRTC is to support Canadian radio and television, protect the interests of Canadians and to make decisions that benefit Canadian viewers and listeners?
