Dear Colleagues: The video below describes an important legal case ongoing in Canada. Canwest Global, a large media company, has challenged Canadian laws that prohibit direct to consumer pharmaceutical advertising. There are many implications for disabled persons here and abroad so thought I would forward the link to the video. Lilith
=====================================================
From Rob Vipond: I've just made a video about CanWest Global's attack on Canada's restrictions on prescription drug advertising.CanWest Global Attacks Drug Ad Laws http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSk7IP_Yljw Info: "Canada's biggest media empire has launched a lawsuit to strike down restrictions against prescription drug advertising. But your media isn't telling you about it--find out why, and what the potential danger is to you. For updates, sources and links see www.robwipond.com" For best viewing, click on the "Watch in High Quality" option directly below the video--it makes a big difference! If this option is not available and you are using a high speed connection, try a different browser.
