Canada = Sucks
Did you know that the current neo-Conservative government (under the iron fisted rule of Stephen Harper) in Canada is determined to make you and your loved ones suffer — no matter where you live in the world — as they fill the pockets of their supporters with money once made from giving hope to those who were diagnosed with cancer and other illnesses?
"this country has been an international leader, the world's largest single supplier of medical isotopes used in nuclear imaging, for more than 50 years. But all of that is about to end. Buried deep in the federal budget bill, now winding its way toward approval, is something called the Nordion and Theratronics Divestiture Authorization Act.

"Turks and Caicos Premier Rufus Ewing met Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa, where he says the two leaders spoke about exploring a more formal relationship.

[...] Some provinces, however, appear open to the idea."
