Dr. Francis was 32 when he served at Gettysburg and Solomn  Secord was 29. Secord and Wafer, both products of Canadian Medical Schools, were  highly sought by recruiters. Canadian schools, patterned on British  and European systems, were at the forefront of medical science, with  curriculums that included surgical and dissection classes.

Free trade deals between countries only help the wealthy . This has been proven time and  again - especially NAFTA . It becomes a race to the bottom to see which corporations can  get the best tax break . In the best-case scenario — one in which tariffs are mutually eliminated that could  foresees the loss of 28,000 Canadian jobs. In the worst-case simulation — one in which tariff elimination takes place along with a  further appreciation of the Canadian dollar versus the euro — the job losses could top  150,000.

"If they can offer faster, more consistent Internet  connections at a raised price, they can recoup the lost  revenues from their cable/TV business. We expect  increased competition over the next year — including  services offered by Rogers, Videotron, Astral Media and  Bell getting into the game."
