This being the Internet, I am not at liberty to disclose my location. I'm sure you can understand why. We are in rural Utah, but I'm sure other community health centers have similar offerings. As a community health center, we can also sell medication on an income-based fee scale. Many of our patients get inexpensive birth control this way. Allowing religious exemption does nothing to address the larger issue of affordability for all patients - particularly for medications; this is what we should be discussing.

Support for moving to a single payer health care system consistently shows anywhere from over 50% to 70% of Americans support that idea. Opposition to single payer seems increasingly to reside primarily with aging Baby Boomers who are enrolled in a single payer system but want to deny it to younger Americans. With the motto of the "conservative" Boomers boiling down to "screw you, I got mine" this is not surprising.

You can most definitely patent a process... the same way you can patent a drug... pretty much the only way chemists make money. It costs a lot of time and money to research a method, or a process, on how to make or extract a compound, or drug, and if you do that, you are entitled to monies from whoever wishes to copy said formula. It's pretty much the basis of the entire biotech industry so I don't know why I need to explain this. Fact is they have a cost effective and efficient process to derive these compounds at high purity which are widely used and sought after. There there is a growing demand not only as a skin product, but as a way to help lower cholesterol. The preliminary trials for that are looking very positive, and once published, there is then access to a industry which is worth billions. Aveeno is a company which already purchases from Ceapro.. it's the active ingredient in their products, so yeah I've checked them out. 100 years of MD's concentrated in one drop. Nice.

Interesting. I found that her concern is for a small subset of the less fortunate, specifically people who have chosen to come to Eugene and live homeless here. She is unconcerned for the many people of limited means who are harassed by these thugs as they try to walk and cycle to their (low-wage) jobs and to do their shopping. She is unconcerned about the people who are burglarized by the drug-dealing and addicted thugs; those victims usually cannot afford to secure their rented homes from intruders.

Yes, Layla, the communist government of China exerts influence and often effective control over not just Chinese publications and electronic media abroad but also over other Chinese controlled businesses and even social organizations, all with the objective of taking advantage - in trade, investment, immigration and political and social power - of the schmucks who are naive or greedy enough to let them do so. Currently, the biggest concerns and buyers' remorse abut these one sided situations are voiced in Australia, the US and Germany but it seems not a single country involved in trade deals with China is on record as claiming they are happy with the fairness of said deals. One of my most disturbing visuals these days is that of PM Trudeau sitting across from the Chinese leadership in about 4 years to complete negotiations on a free trade deal between China and Canada. It resembles in my mind Bambi versus Godzilla. (You can, I'm sure, which of the two parties is Bambi.)

Methane is a particularly potent greenhouse gas and the science behind this, to say the least, is solid. Yes, according to these figures there will be a net cost of about $1.7 billion. Can we easily quantify the costs of climate change? No, because this is very complex, but we do know that we need to keep global warming below 1.5 C to avoid a truly catastrophic situation that would endanger human civilisation as we know it. (Just think of the costs of relocating people from low-lying cities as ocean levels rise, to give a concrete example.) Given methane's potent effects, it is clear this should be done... and perhaps even more needs to be done.

Except that high income earners in Canada *DO* pay taxes, a LOT of taxes. In fact the top 10% of earners in this country pay more than half of all income taxes that are paid, an amount vastly in excess of their proportion of income. They not only are paying "their fair share", they are also paying the "fair share" for everyone else. The way our tax system is setup losing only a very small proportion of high income earners in Canada would result in the complete collapse of our social programs because they are covering the lions share of the cost. On a per capita basis an individual needs to earn somewhere $90,000/year just to break even on the taxes they pay vs. the per capita cost of government services.

A Swiss Army type folding knife has a good chance of "folding" in a self-defense situation and cutting the fingers of the user...it could be used in an emergency to slash, but stabbing will fold the blade into one's own hand. Locking-blade folding knives are much better but usually lack the hilt which will prevent the hand from slipping down the handle and onto the blade. Unless one knows where in the attacker's body to slide a blade most folding knives will break. A repellent spray is fine if it can be properly deployed. But if I were a woman I'd also be carrying a small handgun and practice drawing and firing at close range (proximity is what most male attackers seek) because a potential attacker may well also be armed with a projectile weapon...and may be so highly incensed at being sprayed that he/she will shoot with a gun from a distance.

Five years ago I bought a 1999 Taurus from a co-worker (got it checked out by a local mechanic first, who gave it a clean bill of health) for about $1,800. Three years ago, when my son turned 17, I gave it to him; he'd done most of his learner driving on it, liked it, and found it plenty roomy (at 6' 7", this is an issue). He had fun installing a great new sound system in it, and had to replace a couple of minor things (he bought the parts used and did the work himself), but other than the usual ongoing things (oil, fluids) it's running fine. When I gave my son the Taurus I bought a 2004 Sorrento from a friend (got it checked out; again, fine) for $2,000. Had to buy new summer tires this year, but again, apart from the usual ongoing things it's been great. I chose to buy used for these prices not because I'm poor, but because I'd rather spend my money on other things. If the vehicle is sound and gets me safely from A to B, that's good enough for me.

It seems to me that Mr. Graff is not just "insinuating" that the presence of Bascom Village has created theft/car clouting issues in his neighborhood, he's rather directly stating it has. .....no problems before Bascom Village, lots of problems since.....and low-income housing developments need to include a 24-7 security force.....to protect the neighbors from the residents of the development. "This security precaution should prevent the multiplying incidents in our neighborhood. " Wow....perhaps those low-income developments should also have high fences with razor-wire and a "manned" gate to keep those low-income folks contained at night so they don't roam the neighborhood and commit all those thefts. That might be even more effective..... I'm sorry Mr. Graff has experienced thefts. We have too and it's no fun.

I don't agree with your specific list of corrections, but it might be best to permanently freeze real federal spending except to the type of funding the Liberals are offering to mental health & home care to jump start areas of chronic provincial neglect. Frankly, those controlling the spending (the provinces) should be accountable by providing more and more of the funding. The taxpayer is the same regardless, so this whole thing is mostly a provincial charade. This is especially true in the big provinces where they have the scale to manage all of the costs (though for the smaller ones the current funding is likely adequate at currently levels to address that issue. Ontario, Quebec, BC and Alberta have no scale issues.
