No French? No service! -- Francophones are the "target population" Global National, February 21, 2006

Marc Bisson, the Executive Director of the Centre de Santé communautaire de L'estrie, where Ravary was refused service, defends his clinic's policy. Bisson says it's part of the centre's mandate to target the local French population. [....]

The clinic was established 15 years ago specifically to treat the nearly 10,000 Francophones in the small Ontario community [Cornwall], although everyone in the greater community helps fund it.

It turns out the Ontario provincial government agrees with the clinic's exclusive policy.

The new faces at the Salvation Army's Gateway homeless shelter are middle-aged white men who just can't keep up with the rent Mark Bonokoski, Feb. 21, 06

This is sad; we need a method whereby we may help ourselves and our fellows at the same time. One suggestion: With an aging population who sometimes need help for small jobs or errands, why not have a registry of workers who will be able to earn a day's or a week's work helping by doing odd jobs or whatever needs to be done, depending upon their skills. Have a website where a person may list skills which fit a need. Some jobs are not onerous but help is needed. Give the individual a respectable wage (maybe even a decent meal) and some dignity. A city registry? Keep it local. Maybe a fellow has a car and would drive an elderly person around for appointments, groceries and other necessities, help carry groceries or whatever.

Congressmen threaten probe of U.S, seaports deal Audrey Hudson, Feb. 20, 06

The classified deal would let Dubai Ports World (DPW) of the United Arab Emirates run ports in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans and Miami. London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., which had been running the six ports, was bought last week by the government-owned DPW.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who appeared on "Fox News Sunday" with Mr. Bayh, called the deal "tone-deaf politically at this point in our history" and agreed that "we certainly should investigate it." [. . . . ]
