Dear Bird Talk, I read the letter from a member that included a letter from their physician saying he was quitting practice because he could no longer tolerate the conditions under which he had to work for OHIP (Spring 2005, Issue 54).

Dear Bird Talk, I see there has been a lot of discussion about many different cellular plans, and I thought I might weigh in a little with my personal experiences. I have a secondary property in Las Vegas and travel there occasionally throughout the year. I have tried adding U.S. travel pack plans Via FIDO […]
