Comment on Why care less about the disabled fetus? by Brad

Bravo – the issue is indeed one of discrimination. the medical community spends too much of its time harping on negative characteristics of Down syndrome and presenting the negatives. It is actually a strike against their own scientific credibility. If you talk to the community of us with children with Down syndrome, we are overwhelmingly positive about our experience – in spite of the fact that a majority of us did not get a diagnosis until after birth and did not specifically “choose” to have a child with DS.

It is impossible to have an “informed choice” without unbiased information on what your real choices are. Thanks for writing what many of us are thinking.

Comment on Older students not eligible for Ontario tuition rebate by Julia Jackson

Julia Jackson — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 02:59:01 +0000

As as a student that fully benefitted this rebate, I would have to say that this is completly obsurd. Although the money was definatly appreciated, the $1,600 did not help my so called “jump” to university. I am already in my second year, this rebate has benefitted me in the same way it would have a mature student. I do not understand McGuinty’s point. As well, taking away from one group to help another doesn’t seem to make sense. Some people may have very well relied on the $150 text book grant. As well, I would like the point out that (while the money was appreciated, like formerly stated), the huge jump in residence costs at my university has really cancelled out this rebate. I will be paying an extra $1,000 for residence next year. So, while this rebate is presented at a $1,600 value, it is not. In reality, raising fees such as this, and increasing tuition in general, it cannot really be seen what this rebate is truly worth. In conclusion, without ranting any further, I would be as bold to say that this rebate could be the government’s way of distracting its post secondary students from its raising tuition fees and, for lack of better words, shut them up.

Comment on Stephen Harper and the Big Oil Party of Canada by anthony

You don't have to be an expert to understand that if the US doesn’t support the construction of the Keystone pipeline other countries will most certainly avail themselves of such a great opportunity. And I don't think that the Chinese government would succomb to the protests of some enviromentalist organizations. The latest studies reveal that the energy sector in Canada has recently been on the rise so there’s no reason to pass up this very first chance and let others make a profit. Moreover, new jobs are needed more than ever and this project can really boost the economy not only in the US but also in Canada.

Comment on EI’s problems forgotten, not fixed by Jody

Not to mention the fact that they have in the last two years, removed any physical office to enter and speak with someone regarding your personal file. You may only access this using their 1-800 number that rarely allows you to be put in the queue, hangs up on you regularly, and has absolutely no escalation process if you have been having difficulty. There is absolutly no way to get help from these people unless they say so.
