Dr. Luigi Di Bella and the Politics of Elixirs

HEALTH CANADA AND THE CANADIAN-ITALIAN PHYSICIANS ASSOCIATION recently spent $20 000 to send 4 Canadian cancer specialists to Italy to check out the “miracle” CMAJ 1998;158:1510-2 anticancer cocktail prepared by an Italian physician. Most doctors remain decid- edly sceptical about this latest “cure,” but Charlotte Gray says their suspicions count for little when an issue like this captures the imagination of the public and their politicians. En bref SANTÉ CANADA ET L’ASSOCIATION MÉDICALE CANADO-ITALIENNE ont dépensé récemment 20 000 $ pour envoyer quatre cancérologues canadiens en Italie se familiariser avec le «cocktail miracle» anti-cancéreux mis au point par un médecin italien. Cette dernière «cure» laisse la plupart des médecins carrément sceptiques mais, nous dit Charlotte Gray, leurs doutes ne pèsent guère une fois qu’une pareille question a enflammé l’imagination de la population et de ses politiciens. he dying are willing to attach their hopes to any cure.

Canada and the Middle East Today: Electoral Politics and Foreign Policy
CANADA AND THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY: ELECTORAL POLITICS AND FOREIGN POLICY Donald Barry Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power in 2006 with little experience in foreign affairs but with a well developed plan to transform his minority Conservative administration into a majority government replacing the Liberals as Canada’s “natural governing party.”1 Because his party’s core of Anglo-Protestant supporters was not large enough to achieve this goal, Harper appealed to non- traditional Conservatives, including Jews, on the basis of shared social values. His efforts were matched by those of Jewish leaders and the government of Israel to win the backing of the government and its followers in the face of declining domestic support for Israel and the rise of militant Islamic fundamentalism. These factors accelerated a change in Canada’s Middle East policy that began under Prime Minister Paul Martin, from a carefully balanced stance to one that overwhelm- ingly favors Israel. Harper’s “pro-Israel politics,” Michelle Collins observes, has “won the respect—and support—of a large segment of Canada’s organized Jewish community.”2 However, it has isolated Canada from significant shifts in Middle East diplomacy and marginalized its ability to play a constructive role in the region. Harper and the Jewish Vote When he became leader of the Canadian Alliance party, which merged with the Progressive Conservatives to form the Conservative Party of Canada in 2004, Tom Flanagan says that Harper realized “The traditional Conservative base of Anglophone Protestants [was] too narrow to win modern Canadian elections.”3 In a speech to the conservative organization Civitas, in 2003, Harper argued that the only way to achieve power was to focus not on the tired wish list of economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” as they’d become known, but on what he called “theo-cons”—those social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defense. -

Executive Summary | 2 Key Conclusions
Overview Report Executive IN THE GTA Summary July 2017 Background The Black Experience Project began with a central question “What does it mean to be Black in the GTA?” From there, the study embarked on a journey of answering this question in an authentic and respectful way. Launched in 2010, the Black Experience Project (BEP) is a research study that examines the lived experiences of individuals who self-identify as Black and/or of African heritage living in the Greater Toronto Area, or GTA (the City of Toronto, and the Regions of York, Durham, Peel and Halton). This study was led by the Environics Institute for Survey Research, in partnership with the United Way of Toronto and York Region, the YMCA of the Greater Toronto Area, Ryerson’s Diversity Institute, and the Jean Augustine Chair in Education, Community and Diaspora at York University. This research aims to provide a better understanding of the lives of Black individuals within the GTA, including the factors leading to their successes and challenges. The results are intended to provide valuable insight and direction in identifying policies and other initiatives that will contribute to the health and vibrancy of the Black community, and by doing so, the health and vibrancy of the entire GTA and beyond. Project results are expected to provide a focal point for the Black community to better harness its assets and expand its successes throughout the entire community. These results will also help the broader community (e.g., community leaders, decision- makers, policy makers, general public) understand and appreciate the diversity and vibrancy of the Black community within their vicinity. -
