  Health care in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canada's health care system is generally considered one of the world's best, placing in the top ten in most measures of quality.
Canada is seen as a country with a publicly funded health care system, with the various levels of government paying about 70% of health care costs.
Canada is unusual in that the government pays for almost 100% of hospital and physician care, but contributes very little in areas such as prescription drug costs and dental care.

 Electroacoustic Music in Canada: 1950-1984
Although our concern is Canada's part in all of this, we had better take a brief look at tie global state of the art just before Canada got her feet wet.
This seems to have been the first composition employing prepared tape to be performed in a concert hall in Canada (the first tape music heard in Canada seems to have been a broadcast of early German works on CBC radio in the summer of 1954).
Canada's electroacoustic music composers - in particular, Buxton, Keane, Truax, and more recently Jean Piché - are well represented in broadcasts and concert series around the world and they figure prominently in such important international festivals as those in Bourges, Brussels, Tokyo, Paris, and the Warsaw Autumn and Gaudeamus Festivals.

Telefilm Canada is a Crown Corporation of the federal government.
Unlike the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the CFDC was expected to become a self-financing agency, interested as much (if not more) in the profitability of the films it supported as in their contribution to Canada's cultural life.
To reflect this shift in investment priorities the CFDC was renamed Telefilm Canada in February 1984.
