 Journal of Canadian Studies: City campaigns on the cusp and the Edmonton mayoralty election of 1992   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Edmonton, 1992 As the incumbent, the victor's acceptance speech was far less than gracious given what was, in reality, a substantial win.
In Edmonton, the year 1992 was not a significant one in the sense of a realigning election, for the change to active (and more partisan) expression of ideology had come in 1983.
One such headline, "Chief slams hooker solution," Edmonton Sun, 6 October 1992, in which Chief McNally discussed the sociological dimensions of prostitutes as victims and the legitimately limited powers of the mayor's position, convinced Smith's senior strategists that a scripted response to a public servant, the risk of voter resentment notwithstanding, was absolutely required.

As much as he's haunted by the memories from his one peacekeeping tour, he's also stung by the fact some of his military colleagues - and civilians who have never met him - think he's faking this thing called post traumatic stress disorder.

OTTAWA - Pharmaceutical companies are deceiving patients and doctors by keeping negative results from drug trials "locked in the filing cabinet," Can-ada's leading medical journal warns.
The Canadian Medical Association Journal says Health Canada is complicit in this "file drawer phenomenon" by too often keeping quiet about buried evidence that questions drug safety and effectiveness.
In an editorial published today, the CMAJ accuses drug companies of silencing medical researchers by having them sign agreements that suppress the release of negative findings in drug trials -- sometimes for as long as a decade after the test results are in -- while positive findings are promoted.
