If this did not happen, then according to the Canadian Law it was the school officials that the police should have arrested because the school officials violated this young man’s freedom of choice.

I could imagine adorable dresses… sparkly sandals… flowery headbands. Oh, well. I love my boys and it turns out I love not having daily clothing wars, like my friends who have daughters. There have been a few clashes, of course. Ned refused to wear overalls starting at age 2. (”That’s for BABY,” he declared.) And around age 5, Alex decided he would only wear black t-shirts. Black t-shirt (photo courtesy Kansir, flickr.com) Fine, I thought. Even though Alex and Ned mostly don’t seem to care what they wear, they have occasional outbursts of opinion. I was kind of relieved that Alex had a preference. Except that it’s not all that easy to find black t-shirts in very small sizes — especially...

I have not done so until now because I did not know enough about the details and wanted to wait until and unless it became a likely law.I still don't know much about the FOCA, but a columnist in Slate named Melinda Henneberger, discussing recent speeches by Catholic Hierarchs about an Obama Administration seeking to force Catholic hospitals to violate Catholic moral teaching, worries that passing the FOCA would blow up in all of our faces. From the column:And the most ludicrous line out of them [the speeches], surely, was about how, under Obama, Catholic hospitals that provide obstetric and gynecological services might soon be forced to perform abortions o...

He has never heard of it. Few have. Even some GPs – the ones who don’t get involved in practice finance - do not know what it is. The MPIG is the “minimum practice income guarantee.” You are probably not much wiser. You probably think that GPs are paid a sum of money proportional to their list size. A “capitation” fee. That would be logical, and simple and indeed has considerable merit. However, if GP pay were based solely on capitation, it would encourage a “stack ‘em high and treat them cheap” mentality. It would discriminate against rurual GPs with large practice areas but small lists and it would reward GPs who took on large numbers of undemanding patient...
