Shame on Health Canada. Doctors are not statisticians and if they have cause to believe that cancer cases are disproportionately high, then Health Canada has an obligation to examine the claims. Reprimands only serve to give more hesitation to a doctor who has no time to conduct statistical analysis.

So we have a story that says they are above normal, and then Health Canada saying they aren't statisitcally important. Alberta health doesn't release all of their findings, and CBC claims to have the ommited sections. Wheres the facts sheets here?
