It's a diagnosis from a chat.  It's not diabetes where a drop of blood can tell you how much sugar is in your blood.(fasting glucose >126mg/dL = diabetes) Insurance won't pay for help unless you are diagnosed. Psychology is in many respects a protoscience and PTSD is just a heap of check boxes...

Vaccines are not mandatory. Seatbelts are mandatory and  they injure and kill  people every year in Ontario. 25% of deaths of children ages 1-9 are from unintentional injuries PRIMARILY MVA's.(ZERO fatalities from vaccination) Those kids were all wearing SEATBELTS! Why is the province not...

We don't vaccinate anyone against their will, unless you are in the Army >:D I can't remember a single death from vaccination. The occasional rare case of encephalopathy, but most of the time they were already immunocompromised and probably should have taken an exemption. Healthy people are...

The first two articles are bearable but the third by Sandy Schneider is bullshit. She states pertussis fatalities had already started dropping but fails to mention it was because of antibiotics. She fails to mention that the average measles hospital admission costs over 10,000$. Or that whooping...

There are some vaccines kicking around already, but since it infects most primates the eventual solution is vaccinating wild animals similar to how we now air drop vaccines for rabies. Organ liquefaction is something I never want to see from an infectious disease...

They are not doing too good lately. One of the best metrics to judge a political system is the level of coercion they need to control their citizens.  A very large portion of this is from the war on drugs.

I have opposed political views and agree with that manifesto. Slight problem with the free trade thing as I've seen some cancer villages overseas. Environmental costs need to be factored into trade. Things like workers with no protective equipment or health insurance working with heavy metals...

That is a great question. It is not declared on taxes so it can be very hard to track.  Lump sum or monthly pension may be different as well. Not to mention it differs considerably by province. 

It's always been like this as far back as I can remember. Generation before sounds a little easier.  Signed a contract, got a wad of cash and just enough time to blow it before you had to show up for basic. Back then you could still ask the judge to sign up instead of jail time. Most of those...

Joe Oliver to replace Jim Flaherty as finance minister. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/joe-oliver-to-replace-jim-flaherty-as-finance-minister-1.2577648

This is not Minister of State for Multiculturalism or Minister of Canadian Heritage. It's Finance. I would prefer an MBA with at least a decade of experience as a CFO. If they have run their own company or firm for a few decades that would be alright as well.

Why on earth would we need someone with more than a community college certificate to run a G20 economy? Perhaps because we would want the most qualified individual. Harper is an economist and has ballooned annual expenditures by 31.4% since 2006 while cutting taxes.(7% pop growth in that time)...

Only one is qualified to be a finance minister. Strange that Flaherty would abandon ship right now. Any speculation? Jason Kenney- Philosophy degree James Moore- Community college for business administration Lisa Raitt- Masters in Chemistry Joe Oliver- MBA Harvard Business School

Now this was interesting. A landing gear tire fire filling the cockpit with smoke. The pilots become overwhelmed by smoke while pulling breakers trying to find the cause. No one can get into the locked cockpit, plane flies on auto till it crashes.  It may also explain the climb to 45,000.  If...

I also had to pay more for consumer goods in many stores and pay larger bribes to local officials. It was systemic and mostly invisible to those not targeted. To the point that many naive locals did not think it existed. They wondered why I was such an angry guy some days. My wife accused me of...

Problem is as a white guy in Canada I almost never see the racism around me. I'm treated well so I never think about it. When I was in Asia and the subject of super annoying racism that almost made me beat the crap out of one or two people it was a very different story. I remember being wound up...

No one wants to say terrorist attack. People panic and lose their minds. 300 million dollar jetliners with 400 passengers don't "disappear".  A plane hitting something at 400 mph doesn't leave a hell of a lot.

The irony in this was so delicious, the last actual commies in China and how the regime is dealing with them. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/13/world/asia/communism-is-the-goal-at-a-commune-but-chinese-officials-are-not-impressed.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0 LINCANG, China — Members of this idyllic...

I thought I was covered if anything happened while in uniform. That has obviously changed. You are not covered so protect your health and safety. Do not take risks as there is no longer a contract of unlimited liability. You and your family will be screwed.  Command better be understanding when...

Interesting article on the hormone oxytocin. http://www.cnsspectrums.com/aspx/articledetail.aspx?articleid=2786 • There is preclinical and clinical support for implication of oxytocin in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders involving disturbed stress regulation as well as disrupted...
