	Delisting of Chiropractic in Ontario Takes Effect
		The decision by the legislature to delist chiropractic flew in the face of previous evidence that suggested coverage of chiropractic care could reduce overall health care costs.
		It concluded that delisting chiropractic services could end up costing Ontario's residents up to $125 million a year in payments, and that more than half of the people who currently visit a chiropractor for care would be discouraged from doing so if they had to pay for all of the costs of care out-of-pocket.
		Representatives of the association arrived at Queen's Park, the official location of the Ontario legislature, and delivered several dozen cartons of documents, including letters and petitions signed by more than 600,000 people asking the government not to delist chiropractic.

	world news - chiropractic in Canada
		In Ontario, chiropractic has been governed by statute since 1925; currently, the profession is regulated by the College of Chiropractors through the Chiropractic Act (1991), part of the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA).
		Dr. Pran Manga, a professor of economics at the University of Ottawa in Ontario and author of the well-known "Manga Reports" of the 1990s, was one of the most vocal critics of the decision to delist chiropractic.
		Indeed, a 1993 study funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health found that OHIP coverage of chiropractic care could save Canada's health care system approximately $380 million per year in direct costs, and an additional $1.2 billion per year in indirect costs due to short- and long-term disability.

		The vision for Rouge Park called for the creation of a 20,000 acre park - the largest urban wilderness park in the world (at present Rouge Park is around 13,000 acres, including 2,000 acres from the Federal Government).
		The biological and physical functions of the park are important to the long term integrity of the park ecosystem.
		Because of the proposed airport's location and proximity to migratory routes and to Rouge Park (and other environmentally sensitive greenspace areas including Duffin's watershed), the risk of wildlife and bird strikes with aircraft is considered high.

		The facility is set to deliver 2,700 bundles of joy per year, but that’s expensive under a system where deliveries are “free.” The bureaucrats set the hospital’s quota at 2,100 newborns, and forced the hospital’s delivery doctors to sign a contract that promised they would not exceed the quota.
