Why do we have to put up with this type of vitriolic debate? I would not have said anything, but as a Canadian, I am a little touchy about persons from other nations who criticize our health-care system or way of life. Surely in this time of thinking globally rather than parochially, we could exercise a litle restraint. I would never comment on another nation's way of doing things - we all do what we think is right. Can't we all get along? Yours in hope of international peace, Helen Edwards, Victoria, B.C.
