It Was Hot, Nurses Are Hot (Under Collar), Sex Is Hot (in 237 Ways)
Did you know it was really hot yesterday? Because it was. It was really, really hot yesterday. Thank god for the Toronto Star or Torontoist might not have noticed, what with the relaxing in the air-conditioned basement and all.
Registered Nurses of Ontario express their opposition to the Canadian Medical Association's two-tier healthcare proposal. Good point made: that wait times (a.k.a "the nightmare of all proponents of private medicine") have been shrinking in the last few years as the provinces have slowly been responding to the problem. Slightly more self-serving point made: you know what the system needs? More nurses! And better nurses!
Texas researchers announce there are 237 reasons people have sex. #156 was "so I can mention it in a study."
Ontario's new minister of citizenship and immigration will address the most controversial grants issued by the Liberal government. John Tory continues to demand openness and transparency in the budget process. Much like the Conservatives did when they claimed the budget was balanced before the last provincial election and then, whoops, it actually wasn't.
And the Blue Jays pwned the Devil Rays 2–0. Yes. They pwned them. There was pwnage.

In my interactions with the system and with aging parents and in-laws and my own cardiac condition these days these interactions are more frequent than I would prefer, my perspective is that the system needs more nurses! and better nurses!
One person's self serving point is another man's obvious truth...
Oh, and we need to treat the nurses we already have better...
