Should doctors barred from treating women be allowed to see men? Nov. 7
It is highly regrettable that the Ministry of Health, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and even the police appear to be working together in an unholy alliance by not paying the necessary attention to the repeated criminal offences by physicians on hapless Ontario patients — despite loud cries from the Star and Ontario citizens alike

The use of off-road recreational vehicles such as ATVs for fun and recreation has increased dramatically over the years. It is also not unusual to see such vehicles on public roadways, and for these vehicles to be driven by young people including minors. Over the years, recreational culture has given rise to an increasing number of rollovers, crashes, and alcohol-related incidents involving ATVs and other off-road vehicles.

“Based on my own insurance nightmare and successful legal fight culminating in a precedent-setting court ruling, my book guides you through an insurance process that seeks to label the claimant as a ‘scammer’. By mapping out and explaining the assessment process with its numerous insurance medical examinations (IMEs), this book exposes what insurers puts claimants through when it looks like long-term disability and income benefits need to be paid. The advice will help claimants counter some of the more underhanded tactics that insurers employ to deny benefits, and should help shorten the process to procure the benefits owed to you. People not going through this horror also need to know what could happen to them. Learn about the disconnect between paying insurance premiums and receiving insurance benefits.”
