Under the banner of “Dig, Baby, Dig,” the Trump administration is supercharging an already powerful mining industry. What will happen to vulnerable plants and animals?
The Seattle Times ran a piece today by Susan Taylor Martin of the St. Petersburg (FL) Times, with an assist by Seattle Times staff, delving into myths about the Canadian health-care system. It's true that Canadians wait a long time for non-emergency care, including, for instance, surgery for a painful back condition. But everyone gets care. And it's not socialized medicine: Most doctors do not work for the government, and private insurance companies continue to be involved in the health-care market. Hospitals are non-profits. And people can choose their own doctors -- but there is a shortage because the government misread demographic trends and held down enrollments at medical schools.
