How disappointing.  I have always regarded Canada as a rather more English version of the US.
I wonder how the Canadians themselves are regarding this decision?
I'd also be interested to find out how the Canadian people feel about their health service.

There must surely be more to this. It's just unbelievable.

Thank you Mups.. I have just found it too..
  How sad is that...!!  
Despite two of his brothers volunteering to donate, no doctor would perform the surgery..

They didn't mention rain this morning though,  so maybe its changed,  dunno.

Is this the right one, Scrumpy?

Still trying to track down Anglian Water from yesterday.   

Ocado's just been,  so best go and start putting that away now. 

Yes... he was refused a transplant...

You mean the hospital  let this man die just because he'd had no Covid jab, Scrumps?
I can hardly believe that.  
And then they had the nerve to ask for a donation of his organs???   

If that is really what happened,  that is way beyond disgusting if they wouldn't operate without vaccination,  and yet they thought his organs were safe to take without any vaccination.
Unbelievable!

I just checked my weather station record for when there was any substantial rain here. I think there must be a dead spider blocking the gauge because it is shownd even less that I thought it would. I'll get it down and check it over.

One thing is certain -picture editors are more likely to pick pictures that stand out and often they will not be flattering. Think about police mugshots - they always make the subject appear to be a wrong 'un and I imagine that is deliberate too.

News photographers, police photographers and wedding photographers all need to develop skillsets to suit their customers wishes.
