I have a question for Prime Minister Steven Harper and his Minister of Health, Tony Clement: Why haven't either one of you publically responded to the recent U.S. legislation that allows the American consumer to cross into Canada and purchase our prescription drugs? Is it because you don't care? Or could it be because you're embarrassed? Anyone with half an interest in the cross-border prescription shopping debacle knows by now that Canada was not involved at all in the lead-up, debate and passing of this new American legislation. Legislation by the way that will have serious repercussions to Canadian drug consumers in the form of severe shortages for our own prescription needs. 
Kudos, to News 95.7 for their coverage on the Stones event this weekend. What I heard from the station that is weeks away of celebrating their first year in the Metro marketplace was great from noon on until around 9:30 at night.
