Posted date : Nov 7, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, I would like to take this opportunity to speak to the letter from R.W. McClure in the summer issue of CSANews regarding the medical coverage offered to retired civil servants, military and RCMP. R.W.

Lack of diversity in CSANews

Posted date : Nov 6, 2017

However, I keep being disappointed at the lack of diverse representation depicted in the individuals represented in your articles and features. The most recent issue [summer 2017] is a case in point: there is diversity on the back cover for the Medipac […]

Dear Bird Talk, In your CSANews (Fall 2008) magazine, there was on the inside front cover a great article on “Heart Saving Tests” brought by Healthfair.

Shinglers

Posted date : Nov 6, 2017

Dear Bird Talk, …And now, on a more serious note, the Feature Story on “Infections” in the recent CSANews was interesting – particularly the piece about shingles and the piece on page 38 about vaccinations for shingles.

Obviously, the reasons are very disturbing though it has to be said in […]
