Topic: Big Brother Paranoia??? (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
This past weekend a small group of people held a "Moon the Balloon" event in Sarnia Ontario Canada. Sarnia borders the USA separated by the St Clair River.
A USA company called the Sierra Nevada Corporation has developed a Balloon used for "Homeland Security" that they are testing in the city of Port Huron (across the river from Sarnia).
This balloon can read the name of a ship from 14 km (9 miles). Apparently it has been used to track individuals (or to watch) in Canada.
If you lived in an apartment building two miles from where the balloon is flying (at 1000 ft)would you feel more secure, or would you feel the need to pull your blinds.
They say it is just a test and it will not be there in the future.
Why do they need to test it there?
Can they not test it in an unpopulated desert?
In today,s world security is imperative.
I'm kinda sitting on the fence here, I can see both sides of the issue.
Careful how you answer...Big Brother might be watching/listening/reading. 
Enclosed link to news story, Sorry no pics.

Nice one Daddy, except that things at your work haven't gotten any better.
I don't know why it is that upper management treats the real people like they don't exist.
Hang tight and keep writing your gems

Hi Jerome.....Doh!!!
Sorry I didn't read your post a little closer. I was trying to sneak the post in at work and that's a no-no.

Thanks

Re: UK and Canadian Patients... (47 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
As a follow up to our health care system, there seems to be a movement of family doctors leaving Canada for the states and more money. I don't have a problem with this at all but we genuinely have a shortage of family doctors. There are a lot of people that don't have family doctors cause they can't find one so I don't know what they do.
I will say that my Doctors office is a teaching clinic where there is a new Doogie Howzer every 6 months. This can be annoying but it is what it is and at least I have that. I don't know where they go when they leave but it can't be around here.

Re: UK and Canadian Patients... (47 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
In Canada if one was to break ones leg all that the person does is go to the hospital, it is put in a cast and he goes home the same day. No charge. If it is busy at the hospital then you are put on a priority list and you must wait...Free of Charge. If you have to stay overnight or for an extended period of time it is free unless you want a semi-private/private room or sum perks in which case it's gonna cost you or you better have insurance at work.
Certain drugs are free (paid for by taxes) as are certain treatments. I don't know which ones so I can't help you there but I can say for me...I have had my ankle wired together for twenty years due to an accident...No Charge. I have had a bad back due to baseball with max time off of one year. Therapy was covered by work insurance lost work time covered by insurance and Government benefits.
In the last year I have developed a condition that is not good. In two weeks I will have a full body MRI...No charge. Lots of blood tests...No charge. Medications...No insurance...Charge!!!Damn.
When people leave the country to look for alternate therapy I believe it is more because they can afford to travel to get help, not because of the waiting, more because they can afford to try what ever it takes to get better. If that is what it takes then good on them.
Hope this answers a few of your questions
Kenny
