Cancer prevention - are we doing enough?
My cousin Alyson in Ottawa brought a recent CBC TV programme about cancer to my attention and I was fascinated to read the hardcopy version on the CBC website, click here to view. It really does make you think about the politics surrounding cancer and all the other potentially menacing issues that might stand between us being healthy, and not.
But hey, we're not here to get down about cancer, so let's have a laugh about Canada instead ... (and being a Canadian myself, of course I have a good sense of humor about it!)
