No resident should be left uninsured and left behind. Unfortunately, the Federal Govern- ment hasn’t committed themselves to this important Canadian Health Care Initia- tive! Right now, one in five Canadians is “underinsured” for high drug costs, and 3.5 millions Canadians are without pre- scription drug coverage! I agree with Mary Shortall when she made some excellent points: “...over 90 percent of both citizens and employers believe a universal prescription drug plan is important to Canadian heath care cov- erage...a single payer universal prescrip- tion drug program could save Canadians approximately $7.3 billion a year based on an additional $1 billion in public sector spending.” When we talk about a National Phar- macare Program, we talk about Inclusion, preventative medicine, wellness, poverty reduction, quality of life and the promo- tion of independent living.

LONG LIVE THE KING 40 years after The King of Rock and Roll took his final bow, Elvis Aaron Presley is still regarded as one of pop culture’s all time icons BY DILLON COLLINS T here are names synonymous with greatness and legend.
