Needed changes in Long-Term CareReuel S. Amdur
September 9, 2020
Canada is at the very top, and not in a good way. We lead in the percentage of COVID-19 deaths in long-term care—81%, compared to 28% in Australia, 31% in the United States, and 66% in Spain. Surely, we are doing something wrong. According to the Working Group on Long-Term Care of the Royal Society of Canada, we're doing lots that is wrong. Their report is titled "Restoring Trust: COVID-19 and the Future of Long-Term Care."
Masks and no masksReuel S. Amdur

Donald Trump is paying the price for his failure to adhere to the practice of wearing a mask whenever in contact with other people, especially in crowds. His diagnosis of COVID-19 serves as a stern warning for the rest of us.
Democracy in Egypt: Harper shameful standReuel S. Amdur
March 23, 2011
Israel claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East. Of course, ancient Athens was also a democracy, but built on slavery. Israel's democracy is built on denial of the rights of its Palestinian minority and its colonial and irredentist exploitation and mistreatment of Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. Moreover, it wants to remain "the only democracy" in the area.
Asks too littleReuel S. Amdur
October 5, 2020
Former diplomat Gar Pardy has rallied an impressive group of prominent Canadians in appealing to the government to undertake an exchange with China of Meng Wanzhou, currently held on an extradition request from the United States, for Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, two Canadians seized by China in retaliation. What Pardy proposes is a low-ball offer.
Netanyahu and BismarckReuel S. Amdur
October 5, 2020
Binyamin Netanyahu is a Jewish Bismarck. He has combined a malicious cunning with a wilful strategy and effective tactics to accomplish his imperialist aims. At one point, he promised that as long as he was prime minister of Israel there would never be a Palestinian state. So far, he has kept his word.
Trudeau talks toughReuel S. Amdur
October 19, 2020
Prime Minister Trudeau has decided to get tough with China, but the timing is off. The time to get tough is after our four (not two!) political prisoners are back home and our four prisoners in China sentenced to death for drug offenses have their sentences reduced. Getting tough will simply irritate the Chinese leadership. In retaliation they may begin to execute the drug offenders.

Why do liberals at home act like despots abroad? We can look at some examples from the United States but also one from France. Here goes.
Problems in Long-Term CareReuel S. Amdur
October 27, 2020
In Ontario, the key problem in availability of staff in long-term care pertains to personal support workers (PSW's). That is what Bernard Bouchard told a virtual audience in Ottawa's Social Workers in Aging and Gerontology (SWAG) on October 22. Bouchard is a recently retired social worker and administrator of long-term care facilities.
Who is Jesus?Reuel S. Amdur
April 21, 2011
Jesus has long been an enigma, a blank canvas on which people of different cultures and persuasions have drawn a likeness. In the West, we are all familiar with a fair-skinned, blue-eyed Jesus, but African Christians color him black, and Oriental Christians give his eyes the epicanthic fold. The different likenesses are, however, more than skin deep.

April 21, 2011
