Health Care's Hidden Face: The Private Sector and its Relationship with Medicare
Breathing new life into dead labour and dead capital in our coastal communities
In a keynote speech to the NB Seafood Processors Assoc. Annual Convention Moncton, 6 December 2001, AIMS' president Brian Lee Crowley shares his vision of how we can revive dead labour and dead capital, giving back to our communities a dynamism that exists today as an unrealised potential.
Why business and politics don’t mix
Five years ago the four provincial governments, plus Ottawa and some private-sector outfits such as the chartered banks, clubbed together and put $30 million into their new creation: ACF Equity Atlantic Inc. Now, at the five-year mark in its planned 10-year lifespan, questions are being asked about its performance.
The premier who saved Christmas
In his regular column, AIMS President Brian Lee Crowley discusses the evolution of Christmas in a multi-cultural society. The discussion centers on the decision made in the 1980’s to call the “Christmas tree”, erected each year outside the Manitoba Legislature, a “multicultural tree”…and how Manitoba’s Premier, Gary Doer, recently reversed that decision. Dr. Crowley takes us on a historical retreat exploring the early Paganistic, Scandanavian, Christian, and German origins of today’s Christmas tree, and highlights the true meaning of the season.
