    I challenge the appropriateness of "pinking" a product so closely associated with being used to purposefully wound and kill, and leveraging it supposedly to fight a disease that also wounds and kills.

    It's bizarre.

    In my opinion, Julie Goloski missed the mark on this one (so to speak).

    For a clear, logical breakdown of how "experts" and "expertise" are wielded as tools of influence, read Andrew Rich's Think Tanks, Public Policy, and the Politics of Expertise (http://www.amazon.ca/Think-Public-Policy-Politics-Expertise/dp/0521673941/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257389394&sr=1-4). This is THE book on think tanks.

    Note the CDC's report was in regard to the leading violent causes of death in women.

    What about all the women that have used guns to protect themselves from abusive ex husbands, boyfriends, and criminals?

    There are probably millions of products natural and man made that may contribute to cancer. Does that mean they should refuse the money from the companies that make them.

    The job of government is to represent the electorate, and I would bet that a majority of Albertans would say shut in in if they knew the whole story, from royalty holidays and exploration grants to the pollution/cancer-causing toxins from it's operations, and destruction of the Athabasca River.transfer smart
