(or they couldn't; tense machines giving them 'period/pregnancy pain' simulations has been eye opening and hilarious.)
BolshevismWhat business does the association have in establishing these professional duties? It has an undoubted interest in its members’ professional knowledge and skills, their willingness to work collaboratively in the health-care system and their ability to relate to patients including those from many and diverse backgrounds. But, their interest should not extend to telling them what to think, believe and advocate.
Why is this happening? Group politics prevail today and these groups have activists who seek to dominate agendas and silence those who think otherwise. Dissenters are sidelined or choose to remain quiet, hoping the activists will go away. The activists in the Canadian Nurses Association haven’t gone away.
The consequence is that the association can hold its members to account for departures from current orthodoxies or the opinions of the leadership; members may not know what their transgressions are until after the fact when they are summoned for discipline.

Well there's a coinkydink.Well, this is interesting, and to be honest, I’ve never heard of this guy before this morning. Matthew Begbie. Interesting is almost an understatement.

A circuit judge who brought bandits and outlaws to justice, he travelled the highways, biways and rivers of British Columbia before it joined Confederation. He went on horse, on foot, or by canoe, carriage or steamship, and carried out the law in a log cabin, under an oak tree, or in the open wilderness.

Book excerpt: Matthew Begbie was ‘fearless and incorruptible’ as B.C.'s chief justice. But he became the fall guy for our rewritten history
Begbie befriended the Native people and spoke Chinook, their trade language in the Pacific Northwest. In 1860 he declared that the Indians held aboriginal title to their land and this must be recognized by law. He forced legislation to ensure Native women shared in the estates of their white partners, married or not.

The January 1947 edition of The British Columbia Historical Quarterly ran a piece about Begbie by historian Sydney G. Pettit who described his subject: “Fearless and incorruptible, he made his name a terror to evil-doers who, rather than face his stern and impartial justice in the Queen’s court, abstained from violence or fled the country, never to return.”

If he was American there would be a movie because Matthew Begbie had hero written all over him. He stood six-five, and when on a horse with his handlebar moustache and van dyke, he looked even bigger. Cutting a commanding figure, he tamed the Old West.
He was known as the “Haranguing Judge” but sometime after his death that changed to the “Hanging Judge.” With the modern rewriting of history, Begbie has been cancelled.

I remember the Keg in the old railway station . We used to put Keg size highballs on the window sills on the way out for roadies and with the added advantage of good glasses for home .
