SO proud of all of you ! Thank you for standing up for the most vulnerable against this compassionless cruel Harper government. You are settling a really important example for all Canadians in this political climate now.

Terrific action. Thank you doctors! It's shameful that we have a federal government that will put the lives of children at risk based on ideology and bad policy.

[Karen Krisfalusi]

In January this federal government pledged 67.5M (!!!) for personalized medicine. Then they cancelled oversight over this money through the OmniBudgetBill! They're playing games with our lives. Dreaming of genomic cures ...of the future ... while ignoring the realities of today. Your protest is so important. All your white coats looked like Red Coats to me! Don't give up. We're proud of you. - Karen

yes this right here makes me proud to be CANADIAN!!!

[David Gagnon]

Thanks for your actions and presentations (e.g. The Current). This new policy is poorly thought out. Some Conservatives have a history of not understanding 'all of us' are affected by most elements of Public Health (e.g. today: TB antibiotics). Beyond that, this is a mean-spirited policy which affects humans who often have no local network to help them. Thanks for all your efforts.

What a way for the world stage to see Canada........ well, at least all will know that it's the freakin faux govt! and not the good people of our country! I'd love to see this go viral - HARPER is a laughing stock now..... this would make it even better!!

Way to go Canadian doctors! Thank you for watching out for refugees, speaking out about these unacceptable policies and upholding the principles we hold dear as Canadians.

[Josef Banom]

Thank you doctors! Several years ago I was a refugee so it is great to see compassion and sympathy from you despite government neo con propaganda. Thank you.
