This week, I spoke with doctors and health care professionals protesting the health care cuts to refugees; I spoke with Mark Allen from Respect in Sport Ontario about parents’ behaviour at sports games; I heard from Christine Taleski of MADD London about the possibility of raising the drinking age in Ontario; I learned about “Carving a Chunk Outta Cancer” from organizer Mike Winia; I spoke with Local 108 President Trish Goden about the Ombudsman’s report on jail guards and the use of force; I learned about a Better London plan to opt out of the Yellow Pages; I heard from Health Minister Deb Matthews about funding to a youth mental health resource; and I learned about the fight to keep St. Joseph’s hydrotherapy pool open.
