Dear Bird Talk, I want you to know right from the start that I take offence to the word “Newfie.” If I ever read another “Newfie” joke in this magazine again, I will no longer be a CSA member. I know you try to justify this by putting in, “submitted by a member from Newfoundland.” […]

Dear Bird Talk, I reference the advice given to John & Debbie Chalmers in the spring 08 issue in the bird talk section. You stated that Florida requires an individual to have a Florida driver’s licence number in order to register a motor vehicle in their system. This has not been my experience. In late […]

Dear Bird Talk, It was with some surprise that I read your article about needing a Florida driver’s licence in order to register a car in Florida.

Your publications are outstanding and, after reading some Bird Talk questions and feedback, I have a question concerning OHIP.

Dear Bird Talk, In the summer edition, there was some confusion about NSAIDs in pills. NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. NSAID is used as an adjective that helps to describe a drug; it is not something that can be added or taken away. The three main groups of NSAIDs are aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen, […]

Dear Bird Talk, I am writing with reference to Mr. Dawe’s letter regarding Aspirin and NSAIDs in CSA’s summer 013 edition. Mr. Dawe states that he “could not find any product that contained ASA” in Florida, and all the Aspirin products that he did find “all contained NSAIDs.” NSAIDs is not an ingredient or a […]

Dear Bird Talk, I am a member of the PSHCP and encountered the same problem as Wayne Hays, Barry’s Bay ON, regarding acquiring a six-month supply of medicine versus three months. Solution ‒ I called my medical benefits provider and explained my needs. I also asked them how they expected me to acquire sufficient medicine […]

Dear Bird Talk, We really look forward to our copy of CSANews, and fully understand Ross Quigley’s point in the summer 2011 issue. A large part of the purpose of CSA is to put political pressure in the most appropriate area in order to benefit Canadian snowbirds. And you need to report on your successes […]
