“The media is the place where we […]

How many reversible implant procedures are there really? And why would your doctor tell ya to remove a transplant?
Meanwhile, it’s good to know that, after all these millions in outreach funds spent in BC, crystal meth use is actually declining in the province. But by how much? What I don’t get is […]

Here’s a roundup of gender issues going down this week:
In Ghana, around 200 Liberian women refugees were arrested at the Buduburam Refugee Settlement for protesting against their forced return to Liberia by stripping themselves naked. The UNHCR is planning to send the refugees back with a paltry amount of $100. The women are asking for […]
