RITALIN PRESCRIPTIONS IN CANADA GOES FROM 900,000 IN 1999 TO 1,900,000 IN 2005!!!!

My God??? A person must love the information Highway!
After I pasted my interview with Tim Smith, he sent me an email telling me that a few people called him over the phone.
There’s a story about his issue in the Telegraph Journal < Irving Paper > and he received a phone call from Dennis Melanson and he’ll be a guest on his show on March the 8th!!!
Hey? Anyway to spread the message!!! I tried to get the guy and the Bishops family < lost their son to VLT’S > on the talk show CFBC talk of the Town Radio show in Saint John but to no avail!
Hey??? Did you see the newscast on CTV News last night? Let me see if I can find it?




Sorry….I can’t find the darn story. It was on ATV News last night. They said that in 1998, the doctors prescribed over 900,000 Ritalin prescriptions.
Last year the amount WENT UP TO 1,900,000 prescriptions!
They said that since a child is forced on these pills at such a young age? They will be medicated for the rest of the miserable lives!
If they live in New Brunswick, Canada? The chances are that they will commit suicide because as adults and by the orders of those racist members of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission?
They will be considered as close to mental retardation! These are orders form the Irvings to those paid C.U.P.E. racist members at the Commission!
You don’t believe me? Go and have a look at my pass updates about this very emotional issue!
There’s something funny going on at Family Services < Welfare office > in Fredericton.
The Commissionaires who are hired by the Government are out and private security is in!
This is a place where Open cubicles are allowed! The reason? The staff from Family Services can asked personal questions in front of everyone!
This shameful act will discourage people who need money to survive from applying for social assitance.
This is not right!
What’s with the security staff all of a sudden?
As I wrote in the past and I’ll say it again? It’s only a manner of time till someone flips!
It’s happening in the States all the time and as God as my witness? I hope it never happens in New Brunswick but you can only push someone so far?
Speaking of pushing a person so far??? I walked in the Legislature last week and noticed a Liberal MlA speaking to an Irving reporter!
I quickly shouted - Hey? Why talk to that Irving Employee when you can talk to a blogger???
The MLA quickly answered- Charles? I can call you other names but a Blogger!!!!..lol…so true!!!...lol…
But the Blogging way is going to be the route of the future because the Irvings as we speak are training our future Journalist at Saint Thomas and Universite de Moncton to be pro Irving!!!
Before they received their diploma? They must make certain that they will dedicate their life and soul to the evil Irving Empire so therefore they won’t be able to write critical stories of the Irvings!
Am I far off the mark? Of course not!
Peter Huggart the publisher of the Telegraph Journal wrote a column in 2003 that only one letter per month will be printed by a writer on any issues!
A few weeks later, the Irvings shut down the shipyard and the regular writers had their say but they had to wait one month to get another letter printed!
Germany all over again? You tell me????
Hey? Check this site out—

A few evenings ago, they had a play on MAD TV of a parent who was taking care of his 15 years old daughter.
My God?? She wouldn’t take her Ritalin so the Doctor prescribed the Father some Morphine!!!
Hey? Maybe that’s what has to happen for the drugging of our children to stop? Drug the parents!!!
Maybe it’s them who needs some medications? As I wrote in the past and I’ll say it again!!
I have no kids and THANK GOD FOR THAT!!!!
I’ll stay in a tent for a six months period, I’ll fight for them!!!
But to take care of them??? Sorry! Not going to happen!
As long as the Lord Government is in power? The drugging of our children will continue!
Speaking of drugs?? Where’s the Methadone Clinic in Saint John??? Does anyone know?
Ok…enough writing and excuse the style of this update because I just write the darn thing and send it along the information highway!!!
Here’s some comments that I received during the last 24 hours from some readers. Enjoy and visit the site at

http://oldmaison.blogspot.com

1-With reference to above comment. A 16 years old beautiful girl commits suicide. A tragedy which could have been avoided with proper help. What is happening in this province? We are becoming a province of tragedies under Lord Government.

2-Very nice article about Tim...and the daughter looks sweet....Where is
the Mother???????? And tell him to keep up his meetings for
support....There should be more meetings.....Maybe some churches would open up to this!

3-Sheana, You are such a beautiful little girl and I am glad you are home with dad.

Tim, all my support to you and keep up the good work with Sheana and keep her home. You will change the world - especially Sheana's.

4-very good!

5-There is a story in The Daily Gleaner today about 16 years old Heather White who committed suicide in November 2003. Heather was in foster care. Reading the story it becomes apparent that Heather White fell through the cracks. It also shows the incompetence of officials in the Department of Family and Community Services. They saw the trouble but did nothing to rectify the situation. It looks that the Department of Family and Community Services has maximum number of incompetent employees. It also shows how incompetent Lord Government is.

Another tragic part is that the Department of Family and Community Services touts its foster parents and adoption program through constant T.V commercials. A program which is so badly managed as it becomes obvious after reading Heather White’s story.

Whether it is abuse of Ritalin, VLT addiction, nursing homes and services for needy children the story is the same, incompetence and mismanagement and a very irresponsible Lord Government.

6-Dear Charles;
I just got back - it was nice to get away. Nice sun and sand.
I got a call this morning from ???????, who used to work for the
Town.
He got into some kind of trouble and was fired I think?? He is
desperate to talk to you but doesn't have a computer. His phone number is
506-????????.
If you have the time or can come across a phone to use, please call him
ASAP. He wanted to talk to you as soon as he can.


7-Your an advocate and a strong voice for the people, your in the
forefront and that appeals to a lot of people like me who are shy but would love
to be heard. That guy would not have asked for you personally if he didn't
think that you could help him. Charlie might turn his back on someone in
need..........hmmmmmmmmmmmm, Don't sound like you at all...lol


8-Your friend Tim Smith gives great interviews. If he does demonstrate again tell him not to go on hunger strike. Why to risk his own life. He should take his friends and show up in front of legislature day after day. That will have definite impact.

9-You are starting to sound like the new Andrew Landers...lol. Move
over Anne Landers here comes Charlie. That can be your stage name..............Its funny but you have a big heart and this new blog site....could lead into very interesting situations and topics. Keep it up!!!


10-Overall great interview. Mr. Smith is very eloquent.

(Lie to us once? Shame on YOU!!!! Lie to us twice???? and the blame on YOU). This pretty well sums up. Lord and his government made a career out of lying. Top of the list of liars are: Lord himself, his minister of Finance Volpe and his Minister of Health Robichaud. Others in Lord’s cabinet are not far behind.

Who knows in Mr. Smith case they may keep their word. However track record points to the opposite.

11-To Tim Smith, Keep up what you are doing, we have major problems in our Province and VLT's are on the top of the long list. The government are making way too much money on the vulnable, being gambling addicts, prescription drug addicts and everything else that they have allowed in this province for only the last 10 years or so. Its a desperate situation to say the least and it really focuses on how ignorant this government is to people with addictions. This is the worst governemt that we have ever seen and I think that us everyday people have awakened to see us being robbed daily. Keep up the good work

12-How’s Tim? I hope that his daughter is fine!

13-Hey Charlie...

Great concept...enjoyed the follow up...
Keep up the good work..


14-WOW!!! You put something there that was about somebody else!!!! Are you feeling okay Charlie? Are you taking drugs? Just kidding, very nice of you to put up pictures of Tim's daughter. Lovely! And a really nice change. Love you!

15-Why don't the parents of deceased kids sue this company? Maybe a bunch
of
lawsuits would slow them down????????


16-If you start a controversial site like recallbernardlord you never know. You may get more publicity than you can handle including in Irving media. :):). Now that site is gone. Are you starting a new one to get all the publicity that recallbernardlord got last time.

17-Nice one! I like your pictures Charlie. Very good! Love you! Bye for now!

18You know Charles, I find it interesting if you go to the Novartis Website and do a little research on Ritalin... They provide a link to www.adhdinfo.com. There is a section on the homepage of this site for teachers of students with adhd... It lists what to look for further providing the ability to for educators to self diagnose students with this disorder. Shouldn't this be left to professionals... Now that can be argued but what I find most important is that when you look at who owns the adhdinfo site it just happens to be Novartis Corp... So much for objectivity. WCIE

19-There could be other factors than cost only. It was quite a forum where all kinds of views were expressed and voters had their chance to express their frustrations with Lord government. If he would have asked around people would have shared costs if that was the only factor.

There is definitely need for such a forum. This is a good site but it deals with single issue of Ritalin. It is very important issue but other issues need to be discussed in the type of forum provided by recallbernardlord.com site. Other issues include healthcare fiasco, NB Power, financial mismanagement by Lord Government and incompetence of Lord Government in general

20-Have an idea. Why not start a discussion group here, patterned after recallbernardlord.com, which deals with general issues and Lord Government? You may get thousands of hits as recallbernardlord.com had reached close to 18000 hits. If you do that this may become the most popular site.

21-It probably cost him more that $25 bucks a year!- that was probably for the domain name- then the site's monthly costs for a host and any features are extra and if you get loads of hits that costs more- but I agree he could of added advertising which costs nothing- he gets paid if people buy or click the link---too bad- it was probably the pressure...

28-Hope this works this time Charles..


Here is a pretty neat little thing from Paul Harvey.
See if you can guess the riddle at the end. Even if you don't
want to do the riddle, please take the time to read this, it's
nice.

Paul Harvey Writes:

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids
that we made them worse. For my grandchildren,
I'd like better. I'd really like for them to know about
hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and
leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.

I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and
that you learn honesty by being cheated

I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the
lawn and wash the car.

And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car
when you are sixteen.

It will be good if at least one time you can see
puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.

I hope you get a black eye fighting for something
you believe in.

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger
brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to
draw a line down the middle of the room,but when he/she
wants to crawl under the covers with you because their scared,
I hope you let them.

When you want to see a movie and your little
brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let
him/her.

I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your
friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.

On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope
you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away
so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool
as your Mom.

If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you
how to make one instead of buying one.

I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.

When you learn to use computers, I hope you also
learn to add and subtract in your head.

I hope you get teased by your friends when you have
your first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back
to your mother that you learn what Ivory soap tastes like.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn
your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.

I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you
don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I
hope you realize he is not your friend.

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with
your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.

May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the
holidays.

I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a
baseball through your neighbor's window and that she
hugs you and kisses you at

Hannukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster
mold of your hand.

These things I wish for you - tough times and
disappointment, hard work and happiness.
To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.



Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for
you. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and
wait for you.

Send this to all of your friends. We secure our
friends, not by accepting favors, but by doing them.



Paul Harvey RIDDLE:

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got
the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil,
The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll
die?

Send this to 10 people and then press shift and you
will get the answer.

P.S. You won't believe this, but this really does
give you the answer


29-Hi Charles;
Been busy lately. Getting your notes ok


30-Sorry charles, it's starting to get confusing...why are there TWO different places? Where should replies be going?
