Haiti aftermath, ‘Liberation’ from MS

from National Post Posted Podcast · host admin

Reporter Peter Goodspeed's experience on the scene in Haiti, a country shattered by the disaster and a legacy of destitution. Before the Jan. 12 earthquake, Haiti was still struggling to deliver the most basic services to its people: three-quarters of Haitians lived on less than $2-a-day; half had no access to potable water; one-third had no sanitary facilities and only 10% had electricity. Now what? Is feminism dying on Canadian campuses? Kathryn Blaze Carlson discusses a growing trend that is seeing universities take the "women" out of women's studies — if they aren't abandoning the program altogether. Then, health reporter Tom Blackwell, takes a critical look at the hype surrounding a new "Liberation" treatment for Multiple Sclerosis that has some patients stopping their medication and bringing clinics across the country to a standstill because of the outcry for the procedure.
