CDN government did not share private health records with a foreign government. Quoting: Bear Drinker In Canada that is a crime and the lawsuit would make someone very rich, even in Canuckistan. Richardson is also an author who published a book, Hope for the Heavy Heart, in 2008 about her struggles with depression. On a website promoting the book, Richardson describes how she became paralyzed from the waist down after jumping off the Bloor viaduct in a failed suicide attempt in 2001. In the book, Richardson says it was one of three occasions when she tried to take her own life. [link to www.cbc.ca] I googled her name and the top site was for her book. Right at the top was this "Been Bullied? Suicidal? Bullying and suicide have reached epidemic proportions, especially amongst our youth. One headline after another tells of the tragic deaths of beautiful, oppressed people. Ellen Richardson was bullied in her childhood as the family scapegoat, and consequently, as an adult, had severe suicidal tendencies. She even tried to take her life with three serious attempts." I wouldn't let her in my house. Link [link to ellenrichardson.ca] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26615489 who wants to go through all the hassle of applying for a Canadian passport just to do a shopping daytrip. no thanks. I disagree, a person should have a passport and renew it all the time. I treat mine like a drivers license. I can travel any where in the world at a moments notice. You probably feel like it's less hassle going to many distant countries than across to the USA though. I thought the US / Canada border was a bit tense when I went a couple years ago. I remember when I was a kid it was just a friendly wave-you-through sort of thing, both ways. Not sure why it changed. We never had a flood of illegals coming from Canada, nor vice versa as far as I know. |

What was she going to do from that wheelchair, escape into hiding? |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 31733729 United States 11/30/2013 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I loved the irony in this statement... Quoting: Vic-chick13 "A customs spokesperson said the department was prohibited from discussing individual cases due to privacy laws." OH yeah, that is priceless...I cannot discuss the privacy information we have that we should not have because we do not want to violate her privacy I can't see how a denial, if they didn't do actually do it, would violate her privacy. |

Like Harold in the movie, Harold and Maude, she learned to abandon her obsession with death and finally embrace life for good, when she became paralyzed from the waist down. In fact, the major premise of her book, Hope for the Heavy Heart: For the War-Weary and the Heaven-bent* is that just as we had no say in how or when we came into this world, we need to leave our death in the hands of God." Sounds like she was handling her problem pretty well at least at the time the book review was written. If that's all the basis they had to go on, there should have been no problem at the border. |
