Blood Money

Dear Paov --
A thousand people have already sent messages asking Health Minister Terry Lake to ban the sale of blood and plasma and protect our voluntary blood system.
Last week, Minister Lake said he sees no problem with Canadian Plasma Resources -the same company that was kicked out of Ontario after opening a pay-for-plasma clinic near a homeless shelter and drug treatment centre- setting up shop in B.C.
Can you email Minister Lake now calling for a ban on the sale of blood and plasma in B.C.?
We need to make sure Minister Lake hears loud and clear that the public does not want for-profit blood collection in our province -- before CPR can set up clinics in B.C.

Energy Connections 2016 Early-Bird Discount ends April 15th!
The BC Sustainable Energy Association is set to host its first major event, Energy Connections 2016, June 3rd in Vancouver. In the months following the COP21 Agreement we’ve seen the last coal plant shut down in Scotland, close to 300,000 pre-orders of the Tesla Model 3, and the federal government commit $130 million to green building retrofits. It is safe to say we’re in the transition to a low carbon economy, and there is a place for everyone!

Dear Paov -- A private company is going to move to B.C. and profit off of our blood unless we stop them now.
Tainted blood infected 30,000 Canadians with HIV and Hepatitis C in the 1980’s during one of the worst preventable health crises of our time. An inquiry into the scandal found that in order to prevent another tragedy, Canada must not allow payment for blood and plasma donations. [1]
But now Canadian Plasma Resources -- the same company that was kicked out of Ontario after setting up a pay-for-plasma clinic near a homeless shelter and drug...
