"CureChasers" cbc news email

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you think we were in
some way promoting the therapy the Deerings chose and/or giving false
hope because it certainly was not what we intended; we took great pains
to explain that it was controversial, potentially dangerous and
completely unproven.

Regarding Cheryl Paget and her video... as we indicated in our piece,
Tony Deering and his daughters knew and consulted Cheryl about her
therapy on their own, quite independently of the CBC; Cheryl
communicated with the family from China on numerous occasions,
outlining to them personally what she believed to be her improvement;
numerous promotional videos were posted on the Beike company website
and when we showed Cheryl's to Shannon and Erica we pointed out to them
very clearly that Dr. Tator saw "zero recovery".

.Canadian soldier's body returning home from Afghanistan

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Into a glorious setting sun and the belly of a Canadian Forces Hercules, the Maple Leaf-draped casket of Capt. Richard Leary, "Stevo" to his friends, was carried Wednesday to start the final trip home from the war zone of Afghanistan.

"His wish to serve his country by leading his troops into combat was one of his greatest desires," said Canadian battle group chaplain Capt. Darren Persaud. "When he was informed that he was coming to Afghanistan, he could not have been happier."

Thousands of NATO troops lined the runway as Leary's company comrades, followed by a piper playing a lament, carried the coffin into the aircraft bound for home.

Leary, 32, was the second Canadian soldier in a month to die in an ambush while on foot patrol west of Kandahar City. He was leading his platoon during a small-arms fire fight Tuesday morning when he was shot - the 84th Canadian soldier to die in Afghanistan since 2002.

"He was always pushing it, pushing it as much as he could . . . he was a real inspiration to his troops," said Lt.-Col. Dave Corbould, battle group commander with Canada's Joint Task Force Afghanistan.

Corbould said Leary's men would likely hold a small ceremony in the field but that they would not be interrupting their work.

"As Capt. Leary was loyal to his men, they're loyal to his memory and they're getting on with the mission," he said.

Leary is survived by his wife and high school sweetheart Rachel of Shilo, Man., his Brantford, Ont., parents and a sister. A McMaster University history graduate who completed officer training in Sept. 2006, Leary served with 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry based at CFB Shilo. He was serving his first tour in Afghanistan.

Re: Cure chasers segment

Mon. Jan. 15/07

It was a very good human interest story, however, it is not the CBC's job to promote, or give the appearance of promoting, a Chinese facility that performs stem cell treatments. For all the CBC knows, this company could be a fraud. I am commenting because of the way you edited the piece. The two women appeared to be shocked by the wonderful results portrayed in the promo. It appears that the CBC was the one who found the promotional material and showed it to the family. I just wonder if the CBC has offered false hope to the women, their family and anyone who watch the show.

Thanks

Conservatives bend rules on defense shopping in 06

Conservatives bend rules on defense shopping

On the federal procurement list we have helicopters and cargo jets.

As I understand it, provinces are usually consulted on where

the work will be done as outlined in the 1994 Agreement on Internal

Trade. In this case, however, the federal government chose the

contractors and where the work will be done through the use of the

National Security Exemption. The key areas that are going to

benefit from the contracts are the West, Quebec and the Atlantic.

It is interesting to note the conservative party doesn’t have much

support in Quebec or any of the Atlantic provinces. As for the West,

they don’t need to worry about being re-elected there. If I was the

head of a trade union in any of the provinces that traditionally do not

support conservatives, I may consider lining up behind the party due

to the wonderful contract they gave me. It brings a whole new

meaning to the term “buying votes”.

Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
