Everyday Hero
Do you know an ordinary Canadian making an extraordinary difference in the lives of others?



There are many people out there trying to make a difference who rarely receive the media attention they deserve. Global National profiles these people every Friday, in our Everyday Hero segment.

We're looking for Canadians who don't go looking for attention - but deserve it. If you know someone we should celebrate as an Everyday Hero - please fill out a nomination form.

Then stay tuned to Global National. We could honour these individuals with a couple of minutes in the spotlight.

I love Jennifer's blog posts.

She said on her blog "I've been closely covering for weeks". I don't think she was really "closely covering" it or she will know all of the bad stuff that is in the H1N1 vaccine.

How soon are they going to tie this Muslim to bin laden and re-justify the war, even if it isn't true. Just like the WMD that Sadam had stockpiles of ,,, were where again?? The sad truth is these soldiers Canadian, US, and all others, are almost a human shield to protect our homes. Not hard to figure out it's easier, cheaper, and more hiding places for the terrorists to kill Americans and other forces in the terrorists own back yard.

Interesting point from the last link from the doctor,

"He guessed 10 per cent of the B.C. population may now have been infected with H1N1, and said it’s likely the spread of the virus may peak in B.C. over the next week or two."

If that 10% were tomorrow to put a post it note on every surface they touched, and anyone that came across the post it note, on the following day you had to place post it notes on every surface you touch (that didn't have one already), would it take 2 or 3 days before every single person had come in contact with a surface that could have the virus. ... Read More

The point I'm trying to make on this, is that very likely a huge majority (80-95%) of the Canadian population has already been in contact with the virus using the same test starting 10 days ago in every major city with only a handful of people that use the bus system.

As well if the vaccine takes up to 2 weeks to begin to build any real immunity in your body, does today not already equate to a period past what this doctor expects the peek infections to be? Good timing there Canadian Government and WHO and CDC, and all the rest involved on the release of a vaccine for those that want to use this route, like putting out a forest fire with buckets of water.

Freedom isn't free... $$$ but it's about time they ditch that waste of tax-payer money. Criminals don't register their weaponry. and then the responsible adults who have firearms (either for the range or hunting) are penalized. it makes no sense. just as long as it doesn't become like the US with people strapped on every street corner.
this is a start.. ditch some of the other useless programs and maybe they might earn the respect of the Canadian people.

Richard Guyon 102 deaths since April 23, 2009, with 6 new since Oct 29, 2009,,,, but we are in the "peek" part of this pandemic,, and BTW, any that got the vaccine,, it's not working yet in your system. http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/alert-alerte/h1n1/surveillance-eng.php

To put this number in a relationship, for every 300,000 people they vaccinate,, it has the chance to save the 1 out of the 300,000 Canadians that have died from H1N1 in the last 6 and a bit months. If of course they happen to vaccinate the right 300,000 people to include that 1 person.

BTW,,, in Canada from April to now, approximately 141,760 ... people have passed away from any number of other causes. Using the Global death toll daily(153,000) x (33 million Canadians / 6.5 billion ) x (365 days/2), but of course we Canadians are a tough bunch, so maybe only 70,000 people have died , 110 being from H1N1 virus.

What is driving this "Panic" of we're all gonna die if we don't get vaccinated? ... Read More

Get more information, it's out there, and do a little math. The one nice thing about math,,, it has no emotions, it just gives you facts.

This whole H1N1 thing has gone WAY too far!! It is plugging up the Emergency rooms just because people have a little cold and they think they have it. Seriously when did a flu become more of a priority than a serious burn. I was in the Emergency room with my Fiance who had serious burns and had to wait over 4 hours wit...h no help what-so-ever meanwhile people with a little cold were flying in and out the doors. And whole families will go in to get check for this flu even if it is only one of them with any simptoms! This is rediculous. We were never even helped!! Something needs to majorly change and fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Read More
