To the Heart of the Matter

I've talked about the Isotope crisis before, going back as far as Dec 2007 which we thought THEN was a crisis, but that was a walk in the park because it last just a month. Thus far the current crisis is 5 weeks in and will easily go, according to some report from 3 - 8 months. Other reports indicate it will go near a year.

I've mentioned it before and I'll do so again. Without viable and acceptable amounts of radioactive medical isotopes, people will go undiagnosed or at the very least undiagnosed in time. And it is conceivable due to this lack of timely diagnosis that people could die un-necessarily.

Case in point:

I was speaking to one of my clients today. She works in a clinic in metropolitan Toronto. When the shortage of isotopes began clinics and hospitals alike needed to cancel, or rather postpone some tests. In the case at this one clinic a gentleman's cardiac test was re-booked a week later.

Unfortunately when the day came for the rebooked test, there was not the necessary product available and so once again he was re-booked. The test was for this Tuesday.

He suffered a heart attack on Monday.

In this case the man was fortunate in that he survived. But even when you survive the damage can be irreversible.

I urge you to contact your MP, the Prime Minister, Health Minister, and demand that more be done to resolve this crisis. Immediately.

The Sexification of Lisa Riatt

OK. I will go on record as saying I no longer wish cancer on her, or a long slow painful death [ok maybe something quick and sexy...] because at least 2 days after the fact, she's apologized. And never it let it be said that Kitty cannot forgive and forget... well ok I can't forget, and trust me I'm still fuming mad about this and let it be known throughout the land that I still thinks she's a supercunt...

So, kudos to you Lisa Riatt for bowing to near unprecedented public outcry (and just a a heaping shit-laod of disgust) and finally have a very nice press conference in you very pretty outfit and your very pretty shoes to say, on script, that you're sorry. I don't know WHY you needed to read that off cue-cards, but hey... you did at least SAY the words... right?

And I'd just like to add this... while I know some have commented in regards to my own family's recent and ongoing issues with cancer (My Father is still in full remission status; one the Doctors said was not even possible, and so we give thanks every day). I did not mention that on purpose in my rant yesterday. Or that every other male in 2 generations on his side of the family has passed from cancer. Yes I've seen the ugly hand of cancer, I've seen how it strips away a person's dignity; day by day, taking the life out of a person. I did NOT mention it because, my disgust, my hated, my seething anger about what she said came from the simple fact that it was a loathsome, foul and reprehensible thing to say. Period. As I am sure many with no direct connection to Cancer or Heart Disease. So that she felt it necessary to tell us of her Father and Brother's loss to Cancer, albeit tragic in their own right, had no place in her apology. The apology should had been more forthright and sooner to come and been heart felt in that what she said was simple wrong. Do not play the sympathy card here Madame because it insults us all.

And for those that may think I was a little to harsh, that 'Hey. She's human like everyone else.' Yes. You're right. But the difference here is that the vast majority of people would have apologized at first light. Not waited the 2 days, the demands from Parliament, the prolific blog posts, the news reports and articles, the cue cards etc. THAT is what is truly unacceptable.

Personally I still want her removed from her post. If the Conservative Party still think so highly of her that she can remain in their Caucus, hey that's their choice; stupid, but their choice. I've written my MP, Gille Duceppe, (yea, I know lucky me!) and cc'ed the PMO with my p.o.v. on the subject and asked that she be removed, that anything less is an insult to ALL Canadians.

And just tonight I heard that more of the tapes has been released where she's bad mouthing other fellow Conservative Ministers. What can I say but Screw You Justin Timberlake... you're nothing... LISA RIATT is Bringing Sexy Back... or is that Back-Stabbing?!

Kudos to you Lisa Riatt, you Sexy Cunt.

Apologies to Ma for my continued profanity...

And you can quote me on this...

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is a DOUCHE and Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt is a CUNT; they're a perfect fit.

Rot In Hell...

WARNING!


Ma Horton, You ought not read this....



Never in my life has an individual so pissed me off, so upset me, so inclined me to wish ill will towards them, as piece of shit Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt and her head honcho, Canadian Prime Steven Harper.

Why that cunt is still in a position of power, is beyond me. Why she has NOT been FIRED from her post, RESIGNED, kicked out of caucus, or yea... pardon me for fucking asking... APOLOGIZED for her comments regarding the GLOBAL Medical Isotope Crisis; let alone her comments regarding a FELLOW Conservative politician and Minister is so fucking beyond me that I don't even think the Borg could catch up to and assimilate it...

If you're not up to speed, here's a link to the long version, if you want the readers digest edition, here ya go...

On tape, which was apparently recorded "by mistake" (who ACCIDENTALLY tapes their OWN conversations?!?! Bitch please!) in January by Raitt's former press secretary Jasmine MacDonnell, Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt called the medical isotopes crisis "sexy", said she wanted to take credit for 'fixing it', and expressed doubts about the skills of Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq on a recording obtained by The Chronicle Herald.. MacDonnell said the isotope issue is hard to control, "because it’s confusing to a lot of people."

"But it’s sexy," says Ms. Raitt. "Radioactive leaks. Cancer."

"Nuclear contamination," says Ms. MacDonnell.

"But it’s only about money," says Ms. Raitt.

No it most fucking certainly IS NOT. It's about people's Health. Their LIVES you fucking cow... their L-I-V-E-S! I see where that's a confusing subject for you though, seeing where you haven't got a soul or a heart.

Listen to me you fat, putrid sack of shit, you have done NOTHING thus far to HELP the crisis, and selling off an offline Reactor that in all likelihood will NEVER come back online is hardly helping. Allowing a national provider (COVIDIAN) of Medical Isotope Generators (not affected by the Chalk River closure because their supply comes from Europe) sell their generators to their competition's clients at a 300 to 400 % inflated cost, while at the same time DENYING their OWN CLIENTS the same generators. By not looking into reviewing the 'shut down before they ever opened' REPLACEMENT reactors for Chalk River, called Maple 1 and Maple 2, yea you cunt, you're doing a great fucking job!

I work in the industry. I see what's going on... a lot of scrambling and stress, hospitals desperate for isotope, employees fearing for their livelihood... everyday individuals worrying about their LIFE, wondering if they have cancer, heart disease etc but have to wait til god knows when for a test...

... yea, keep up the great work bitch. You're doing super. Keep on being the sexy mofo that you are...

Here's hoping you or someone you love doesn't have to go for a test right now to see if that lump in their breast, or on their skin or that pain in the stomach, or head is cancer, or if that sharp pain they get in their chest is a heart condition... No! Wait! On second thought I DO hope YOU do... because that's hawt! That's sooooooo fucking sexy. I hope you are so polluted with cancer that you fucking explode. You disgust me to my very last breath. Go on Bitch, BE the Sexiest Cancer-ridden skank you can be.

I wish for you a long, slow, painful, agonizing death. And that goes for you too Mr. Prime Minister for supporting the bitch in the first place.

Seriously, not even a fucking apology?!
Cunt.
CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT.

Fuck! You!

Sincerely,

Shawn Ellis


ps: for the record these are things that ARE NOT sexy...

See the difference?

Get 'Em While They're Hot!

I pray that no one you know in the next 4-32+ weeks (yes... 36+ weeks!) requires a diagnostic test for: Cancer or Heart Disease, because chances are slim to none they'll get it, especially those in Canada, the US and other parts of the globe.

Not sure what this is all about...

...pretty much just type in "Chalk River" into the News Site of your choice and you'll soon get the picture.

I work in the industry, and I have to tell you this; this is NOT going to be pretty. And IF, as latest reports are suggesting that the Chalk River facility might be shut down for as much as 8 + months then yes, cancer and heart disease in individuals WILL go undetected and it's possible that because of this some people will die un-necessarily.

YES there will still be some isotope out there, and some will get there tests but it's 40% of the global supply being divided by 100% of the demand.

I am by no means a scare monger, this is what it is, an aging Nuclear Reactor that supplies an estimated 60% of the GLOBAL demand for Medical Grade Radioactive Isotopes is offline with NO time frame available for restarting and of the remain 4 Reactors on the globe that provide the same Isotopes (sharing that remaining 40% of the global demand, one is currently offline and another is scheduled to go offline in July for 8-12 weeks for it's own maintenance...

I already know of one diagnostic clinic that will be closing it's doors temporarily as of Monday, and a couple others that will be temporarily laying off employees (as was the case in December 2007) And if this goes on, to the length as is being mentioned than many others will be the same boat, and could in all likelihood include the company I work for...

...and of all these layoffs - temporary or otherwise, the fear,the unknown of this reality pales in comparison to ANYONE that will have to have their tests postponed.

High on Mount Krumpet...

… Harper, er, I mean the Grinch, on his throne in his cave high above Whoville, opps, I mean Ottawa is continuing to scheme his schemes, plot his plots and destroy not only Christmas but pretty much every aspect of democracy in Canada…

Lets see...

--‘We won't touch Income Trusts.’ (Until we're elected)

--‘We will only have General Elections every 4 years, by law.’ (But we'll break our own law when we THINK it's to our advantage)

-- ‘All votes in the House will be votes of Confidence.’ (But we can't win the vote so during the largest economic crisis in decades we Prorogue Parliament for 6 weeks)

-- ‘We want to reform the Senate and make all appointments by election.’ (But because we already Prorogued Parliament we're just gonna force through 18 new Senators based SOLELY on political Affiliation)


Well Bravo Dictator Grinch! You're nothing but a walking, talking pile of lies, deceit and unbridled hypocrisy.

To Quote Dr. Seuss:

"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.

You're a bad banana With a greasy black peel.

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.

I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.

Given the choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crockodile.

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.

The three words that best describe you, are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.

Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.

You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool sandwich With arsenic sauce."

Suck It Harper!
