As someone who has relied on alternative medicine all my life for most of my ailments, I’m used to paying for health care. In that sense, public health care in Canada is a bit of a myth. Like most things, we compare ourselves to the U.S., who have about the worst health care system in the world and compared to them, our system is wonderful. For broken bones, cancer, and major surgery, public health care is excellent but it’s not perfect. As Globe and Mail health reporter André Picard just pointed out on CBC radio, we already have private clinics in many provinces, and they haven’t undermined public health care.

Mandatory minimum penalty for firing gun at house unconstitutional: Supreme CourtOTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that a mandatory minimum sentence of four years for firing a gun at a house is unconstitutional on the basis it could amount to cruel and unusual punishment. In allowing Hills's appeal, the Supreme Court said the mandatory minimum sentence was grossly disproportionate, given that a young person might fire a paintball gun at a house as part of a game. In any event, the Liberal government repealed this particular mandatory minimum sentence, along with several others, after the appeal was heard. The first offence, robbery committed with a restricted or prohibited firearm, carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison. The second, robbery with an ordinary firearm, carried a mandatory minimum sentence of four years at the time the appeal was heard, but this minimum sentence has since been repealed.

I honestly view those minutes even more important than my starter minutes because those guys aren’t just set in what their careers are going to be.”These rotations don’t work everywhere. “You have to have good players, like really good players off the bench, if you can play with only one starter.
