Elite American greasing the wheels of Canadian Hospital?

Please read this material and draw your own conclusions.

1. In 2008 a well connected lawyer in the US was terminally ill.
2. Either he or he and his family and friends wanted to use any new drugs possible to fight the illness.
(This is something we can all appreciate and understand)
3. He was not qualified for a drug that was in the stages of testing but was not approved by the FDA.
4. The man's wife approaches well connected DC/Clinton woman.
5. Prior to this the man's wife had gone up and down the political ladder and had President Clinton, Senator Kerry and Lance Armstrong lobby the company testing the drug.
6. This DC connection then contacted the man with THE connection to the Clinton's and asked him to intercede. (John Podesta)
This is a read of how the elite work the system when an ordinary citizen cannot.

If all this is not bad enough - we all hear the Americans brag about Canadians running to the US for real health care. Well in this case the American was attempting to use Canada.

"On The Canadian Option
 Dr. Trudel spoke with Dr. Lust about 30 minutes ago. I suggest you connect with him and hear his point of view of the conversation. From what Dr. Trudel has told me: - Dr. Lust still has confidence in the US as an option - In Canada, this procedure would be viewed as experimental - There would be some need to engage with the hospital executives to secure permission and the appropriate process for paying for the drug (which is different in the socialized medical system), but my sense is that this would ultimately be manageable - There is the potential that permission from the manufacturer would be required given the use-case of the drug is different than it's intention, but she does not know for sure if this would be required. Dr. Lust has her contact information. She is waiting in the wings, if put into action she will instruct the pharmacy to do the appropriate investigation and put the wheels in motion to make it happen. She also told me that Princess Margaret is the likely the only institution in the country capable of doing this type of advanced work in the Myeloma field. I will add:Hospitals in Canada are chronically underfunded, and a donation may grease the wheels. I would consider this and be up front with a proposal in conversations you have with senior members of the hospital executives."


I want to know if this is still happening in our country. I want to know if wheels are being greased in Canada for elite Americans.

As most of you know - I am a left of center Canadian - so Trump is not my cup of tea. But from what I see in this case - the Clinton brand is also of no value to Canada.

The absolute belief that the privileged deserve more has no place in our country and the Clinton's and her team should well remember that.

Our federal government needs to investigate this activity and assure Canadians that this activity is not acceptable.

Our national media needs to get to the bottom of this.

Doubling our population with the Tories and convenient Liberal policies regarding Labrador.

Doubling our population

$1000 and a chair in daycare ought to do it!!

If the Premier wants to double the population of this province he had better rethink his policies regarding Labrador resources.

If we doubled our population to a million - how would we energize the houses?
To double our population we would have to substantially increase industry and business - how would we energize that?
If this type of industrial development is going to occur - how are we attracting them - with our hydro-power?

There is no doubt Labrador could triple its population relatively quickly - just enact a law that hydro-power will not be exported and let industry know if they want to use that resource they have to come here to get it.

Williams might also be pleasantly surprised when he realizes that necessary infrastructure in Labrador would come quicker if industry moved in. Further the resources in Labrador - renewable power - is likely to keep industry here longer than non-renewables such as oil and gas.

After making a statement like that to the media - the media MUST ask him about his energy plan (pamphlet).

Convenient Liberal policy on Labrador Resources

Listening to Karen Oldford - Liberal candidate Labrador West - on Bill Rowe now - she has seen the light - we should use Labrador power to attract industry there. You don't say Karen - because the Liberal team for the past 15 years did not see it that way. Always good to jump on a "Sue's" bandwagon when the policy flies. Was not that long ago that your buddies were trying to privatize Newfoundland and Labrador hydro - then after the people stopped it - your buddies - ie. Danny Dumaresque seen the light. Remember too Karen that both Brian Tobin and Roger Grimes were looking at exporting power to Quebec.

Let me tell you what I've learned about Liberal Policy - they don't like to acknowledge where it came from - they love stealing it - after the work has been done to promote it - then they drag out a bunch of Johnny come Lately's to espouse it. Looks good on you. The same way medicare came to be - so goes the Liberals.

I remember Karen Oldford saying - when she chose the Liberals over the NDP in the bye-election - she looked at the Liberal policy before making a final decision. Hey Karen, what are you looking at now for Energy Policy? The Liberals would not do an energy plan - and never held public consultations for that purpose.

Whatever sells - whatever gets us elected is the order of the day.

I for one am sad to see the Labrador Party pull back - though I understand the purpose - the only thing the party supporters should do now is get a written commitment from the Liberals and the NDP as to what the energy policy will be regarding the Lower Churchill.

What is an opportunist??? Whose knocking on your door???
