 The Top Ten Things People Believe About Canadian Health Care, But Shouldn't   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Two-thirds of Canadians (66 per cent) tend to be supportive, more or less, of a host of new models of financing in order to reduce stress on the system - for example, where everyone (except those with low incomes) pays a small amount for health care services out of their own pocket.
In fact, when Canadians do express a preference for either private or public approaches to health reform, the majority are willing to fund their future medical needs themselves rather than pay higher taxes to expand the Medicare model of health care.
Canadian politicians are prone to argue that since, under Medicare, Canadian companies do not have to bear this extra cost, they have a competitive advantage in world markets.

 Representative Bart Stupak's (MI01)- Stupak Testifies Before Council of Great Lakes Governors on Waterwithdrawal Policy
Two current protections in place prohibiting water diversion are a federal ban found in the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) and the Great Lakes Charter of 1985.
The Great Lakes Charter of 1985 is a non-binding, “good faith” agreement signed by the Great Lakes Governors and two Canadian Premiers in support of a no-diversion policy.
The Annex was intended to be a stronger standard on water withdrawals not a weakened version of current laws.”
