One thing I would like to see all of the federal candidates commit to is a Dementia Strategy for Canada. Canada is one of several countries that does not have a strategy to deal with upcoming health issue. Several countries, including Korea, have developed a strategy and are working on the implementation. Why doesn't Canada give the emphasis to this growing epidemic that is required?
Where does your candidate stand on this issue? What is s/he going to do to help families and sufferers of Alzehemiers or other forms of Dementia? The tide is coming, we don't have a lot of time.

Brain Centre Brings Hope
In a recent edition of the Chronicle Herald there was an interesting article about a soon-to-open Brain Repair Centre. The centre will bring together experts working on the workings of the human brain. The Life Sciences Research Institute, will be a partnership between the Capital district health authority, the IWK Health Centre and Dalhousie University. The planned opening is this summer.
