$1 billion CDN wasted in ontario on ehealth program
2009 Oct 7
Toronto, Canada --Minister of Health, David Caplan, resigns as report released showing $1 Billion CDN wasted in producing electronic computer health records system for Province of Ontario in Canada. The result of the program to date... basically, nothing...
This is the same government that wanted to spend $26 Billion on a new, massive nuclear program in Ontario, Canada...
The dangers of nuclear energy are huge. Yet what checks and balances are there in government, in the nuclear industry? Who oversees government spending and programs? Who would protect citizens from defective, inept or corrupt nuclear power industry?
Ontario Government wasted $1 billion in ONE SINGLE program... What would have happened with a nuclear energy program of $26 Billion!

Can we trust government supervision of nuclear energy!?
Governments have failed to supervise drinking water safety, food safety. People have died. Government coverups have been discovered and PROVEN!
The North American, EU and world economies are collapsing after failure by USA government officials and politicians to supervise the financial and banking sectors.
Yet, the governments of North America want us to "trust them," that government can properly supervise the safety of nuclear energy plants! There are proven cases of hundreds and thousands of people who have died or been exposed to toxic chemicals; due directly to government supervision failures of food and environmental safety.
But with nuclear energy reactors, a failure would result in millions of deaths, trillions of dollars of economic loss... probably the death of an entire city and region of America and/or Canada.
Imagine, a "system failure" of the Ontario nuclear energy plants would contaminate some of the productive agriculture land in Canada; the Great Lakes water system; and kill millions of people... Exaggeration? Answer: Chernobyl, and the 30 km radius around it, is still closed after the nuclear energy reactor "failure" there in 1986 --1986!! Chernobyl that killed and exposed hundred of thousands of people DIRECTLY to nuclear energy radiation! and created radioactive clouds that exposed hundreds of millions of people across the EU and North America!
Imagine, an Alberta nuclear energy reactor on top of the tar sands! A nuclear energy "system failure" of the reactor at the tar sands, would make the tar sands lethal and useless for 10,000 years!!!!
There are many stories of nuclear energy reactor accidents, massive cost over-runs, since Chernobyl! Yet the government and mainstream media is telling us that everything is ok?!
Governments must show that they can truly be trusted with nuclear energy, one of mankind's most deadly inventions.

A special public rally. "No nuclear now." April 2, 2009, 12 noon. Please join us get the word out --the truth out-- on the dangers of nuclear energy
A Special Public Rally on April 2, 2009, at 12 noon. "No Nuclear Now." No nuclear energy now. We want to keep the message simple and direct.
The location is still a secret, but please read on! We can tell you that the rally's going to be downtown Toronto, in the financial, business, cultural centre. Please join us at a special public rally, that we hope begins a new era of nuclear consciousness and concern by the citizens of Ontario, Canada and the world.
We've gotten local, national and international media coverage to important social causes before. As you know, you often need a creative “twist” to your event, to get the attention of the media and public; our event shall be a first. So the location and concept is still a secret. But please do plan to come out, and join us on this very important cause. Truly, your personal future and that of the people of the world is at stake.
No new nuclear energy now! In a mere 90 days, Ontario may start the clock on the end of the world --no exaggeration. By making one of the world's largest commitment to new nuclear energy stations, Ontario will restart one of the most expensive and dangerous government programs ever created by mankind: expensive, deadly nuclear power stations.
The Ontario Government plans to spend $26 Billion on new nuclear energy in Ontario. That money could do so much for the Ontario economy, to launch green jobs; inject money into medical research, the arts; helping the poor, homeless, unemployed…
Some politicians, nuclear company CEO's and their investment bankers on Wall Street/Bay Street are trying to stop you and the media from knowing the truth about the economic, green environmental and safety dangers of nuclear energy.
Amongst our speakers, Greg Allen, a lifetime energy activist and visionary; the recipient of the 2008 City of Toronto Green Awards. Ms Adriana Mugnatto-Hamu, a social and energy activist; a member of various global climate change coalitions; and a critic of global nuclear energy proliferation.
Our organizers include people who have created special events that have gotten local, national and international media, including an event that may be one of the only Canadian stories to be featured on the coveted Page One of USA TODAY, America's and one of the world's largest and best known newspapers.
We are urging you to join this rally, the broader movement, to get out the truth about the dangers of nuclear energy. No Nuclear Energy Now. Help us get the word out.
In 90 days, the Government of Ontario plans to commit $26 Billion Cdn to one of the largest nuclear programs since the Chernobyl nuclear energy station disaster --that released into the air, radioactive dust clouds that exposed millions of people in Russia, the Ukraine, Europe and even North America....
Our facts and motivation are simple: No Nuclear Now. No nuclear energy now.
Because nuclear energy is NOT green.
Because nuclear energy is NOT cheap energy.
Because nuclear energy is NOT safe.
Nuclear energy may NOT be even needed.
A rally on April 2, 2009, 12 noon. Please tell your family, friends, co-workers, far and wide. If nuclear power is unleashed in Ontario, it shall spread throughout the world. Come out to the rally, if you can. “Tune-in” to our blogspot here, if you can. Contribute your thoughts, campaign ideas, information. Together, we can --together, we must-- send the message to the peoples of Canada and the world: NO NUCLEAR NOW.

There's hope to reconsider nuclear energy: The Economist: Germany reconsiders nuclear power
Germany reconsiders nuclear power
Aug 2nd 2007 From The Economist print edition
UNTIL recently, nuclear power seemed to be making its way back into public favour in Germany. A warm winter, and dire warnings by scientists about climate change, convinced many that carbon emissions might be a bigger danger than nuclear accidents or radioactive waste. Opinion polls this spring showed that fewer than half of Germans favoured continuing the policy, adopted in 2000, of phasing out all nuclear plants by 2021.
About a quarter of Germany's electricity still comes from nuclear reactors, and the country's four big power companies had dared to hope for a reprieve for nuclear power—at least to extend the life of existing reactors, if not permission to build new ones. But that changed at the end of June, when two separate accidents at nuclear plants operated by Vattenfall, a Swedish company, in the northern state of Schleswig-Holstein, set back the pro-nuclear lobby once again.
