Comment on March Third is Spread the Word to End the Word Day by Nadia Torres

I would like to speak to this family - this happened to me in Dec 2003. My daughter was not accepted because she had a heart condition that needed care, this condition is congential so the authorities knew on entry - three years earlier. My Canadian son was told he could stay without his sister… What sort of immigration policy is Canada promoting - only those worth while?

Comment on Extreme Makeover Home Edition to Make Home Wheelchair Accessible by JUDI TRAHEY

Since I became confined to a wheelchair only two years ago due to arthritis–my regular house does not accommidate my wheelchair–there are rooms I cannot enter or go through certain hallways–the rooms I can enter are very damaged from my chair and this is VERY upsetting to me because it deters my independence–the kitchen counters are too high–so cooking is out–my husband tries to help but many arguments are the result–we are both senior and can’t afford to move or even have someone come in and change things for us to make me more independant– I dread the day if I should lose my husband–my caregiver–without his help I cant do very much for myself if things are not accessable to me. If you have any suggestions please let me know We or I would be open for giving me back my independence thank you, judi
