DIABETIC TEST STRIPS SHOULD BE FREE FOR ALL DIABETICS IN CANADA

My next battle via my blogs I am going to bring awareness to the NECESSITY of all diabetics across Canada and their plight of trying to pay for very expensive test strips. I am positive that if a study were to be done it would show that supplying the strips would be far less cheaper than the cost of hospitalization and emergency treatment of those not financially able to pay for them.  They are as important as a pace maker or any life saving device.
It isn’t like a bandage – it is a life and death necessity. My elderly neighbour has been in the hospital for three days now because she ran out of strips and didn’t have enough to buy more. I wish she would have told me because we all would have chipped in to buy her some. She is not doing too well.  
I believe only Ontario did partially pay for them. 
I can only imagine how many diabetics suffer horribly due to this. 
THEY SHOULD BE FREE FOR ALL DIABETICS IN ALL OF CANADA.  
If a study were done I truly believe that it would be far cheaper for the government to supply them rather than the enormous cost of hospitalization due to not having them. 
If we could somehow get our smiling faced Prime Minister to actually come visit Canada we may be able to discuss and possibly get him to do something for the MANY diabetics who are not in the position to buy such a desperately needed life saving tool.
Think about this …….
We supply free syringes to junkies.
Heck, we even supply free Methadone to them!
Drop in centers here in Toronto supply free crack pipes, screens and condoms – but diabetics must buy their needles and strips!!! 
A drug addict CHOOSES to do drugs. Do not try to tell me they don’t.  I HAVE DONE DRUGS FOR FIFTY OF MY 59 YEARS. 
A DIABETIC HAS A LEGITIMATE AFFLICTION. 
IF ANYONE SPOTS OUR PRIME MINISTER TAKING A SELFIE HERE,ACTUALLY ON CANADIAN SOIL PLEASE ASK HIM WHY.
(I am going to do some research and blog more about this.) 
PLEASE,  WRITE,  TEXT, EMAIL AND ASK YOUR LOCAL MP’S AND MPP’S “WHY IS THIS?

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy

Demons Of Guilt

Menu The LightHouse Dann Verner Some say my that my life has been a tragic sad tale. Only from their view point. Having lived through my life I can say it has been a damn good ride. I fear not dying for to die is final. To be waiting for that one final jolt of pain is extremely difficult to deal with. DEMONS OF GUILT This is a reflection of the pain I am going through as I finish my son’s biography. Delaney Jordan McLean Verner, 29 years old. Jordan “Bubba” Verner On Christmas morning 2019, hung himself in a town called Black Diamond . An obscure town in the underbelly of Alberta, Canada. He and his wife of 12 years, Katelyn had gone their to start a new life. Hoping to escape the homelessness rut and street life they were “Groundhog Day “  living on the streets of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. A dream that collapsed and left them stranded, freezing and hungry. Only to have Alberta Social Services rudely tell him and his wife to “Go home”. By any way they could. But, a big “but”….. Adding

My Opinion Regarding the Israeli/Hamas War

  Listen to this episode on Spotify or wherever you stream podcasts. How can it be all right for one side of a war ( Israel)  to bomb innocent civilians, but not okay for the other side ( Hamas)  to do so? Common sense would tell you that the majority of the people living in the Gaza strip are not supporters of the barbarism of the Hamas. They would much rather be living peaceful lives. Not living under the reign of fear from the Hamas. Largest part of the Gaza strip problem is that if the Hamas were to allow the innocent to leave, where could they go? Israel? Egypt? The majority of the Palestinian people are in the same boat as the average citizen of Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria. They are labeled and condemned by the actions of their governing leaders. The terrorist government controls every and all aspects of their everyday lives. You can not believe that all Palestinian citizens want to go to war. Their hands are tied and their voices are silenced by their leaders If they were to spea
