Prison Birth

Can you imagine a country that has a un-convicted woman waiting trial, to be imprisoned while waiting for the trial to start.  That woman finding out she is pregnant during that time and then while in having labour paints, she then start to scream for assistance (keep in mind, she hasn't been convicted of ANYTHING yet.) and the prison guard & nurse ignore her requests.

Then she actual gives a breached birth to her baby on the floor of the dirty prison cell and the moment the baby is born, it is taken away from the mother and only allowed to be finally held after almost a month has passed (missing some of that initial and very important bonding time).

What kind of third world, backwards country would allow such cruel actions?  Africa, nope! China, Nope! Brazil, Nope! Congo, Nope!

Can you believe it happened right here in Canada?  Not just Canada, but with in the Capital of Canada itself!
I don't think any dollar amount would help rebuild this tragic moment in our Canadian History.

I would say that if this lady does get convicted of her crime that she was imprisoned for, I would say her debt has been already paid, in full.  She has endured more hardship in two months then most prisoners deal with in five.

Recalled Beef in Canada... AGAIN.

In recent months Canada has been struck with another Beef is evil scare and the end of the day, it just hurts our Canadian farmers.  The cost of cleaning up this mess is on the tax payers and the company that caused the contamination sits back and watches everything go on hold.  They sent their workers home with no pay.  I can't help but hear this and think the company should be obligated to pay for those workers, since the company is the ones that sent them home.

So many companies are trying to not just turn a profit but turn a large profit to allow their stock holders to gain a profit and to attract new investors.

I was recently talking to a random person in Tim Horton and asked what they thought of the recalled beef issue and their stance was they were just going to avoid beef all together until Christmas Time (Currently Thanks Giving in Canada).  This statement is made out of fear and that scares me.
