What happened to Christmas? Christians are throwing a birthday party but they are not invited. In order not to ""offend"" non-christians the holiday has turned secular. No longer content with a bag of nuts, and orange, a rag doll or when you got older, a bike! Obligatory gifts have turned Christmas into Giftmas or Gimme-mas.
What happened to Christmas, I don't know, I have grown older and the society around me has changed. Maybe the Christmas I remember really never was, seen through a child's eyes everything is different, only the memories how I saw it then remain.
Merry Christmas anyway, no matter how you celebrate it. (Uh, I want a Wii, a flat screen TV, a PVR (Tivo to you Americans) and a laptop. However a Merry Christmas in return would be o.k. too.)

Top doctor jumped the queue
Top doctor jumped the queue
Brian Day got his daughter in for an MRI on her knee right away because he is a doctor. He is also president of the Canadian Medical Association. Is it okay for insiders to get preferential treatment over the general public. He says he did nothing wrong so seems to have a sense of entitlement. There is a myth in Canada that there is not a two-tiered health care system, in fact it is multi-layered where persons of privelege get faster and better treatment like hockey players, politicians, and influential doctors and the rich can afford to leave the country for medical care they would have to wait for here.
