Waiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada, 2015 Report | Fraser Institute

Waiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada, 2015 Report | Fraser Institute:
"Waiting for treatment has become a defining characteristic of Canadian health care. 
In order to document the lengthy queues for visits to specialists and for diagnostic and surgical procedures in the country, the Fraser Insti-tute has—for over two decades—surveyed specialist physicians across 12 specialties and 10 provinces.
This edition of Waiting Your Turn indicates that, overall, waiting times for medically necessary treatment have not improved since last year.
Specialist physicians surveyed report a median waiting time of 18.3 weeks between referral from a general practitioner and receipt of treatment—slightly longer than the 18.2 week wait reported in 2014.
This year’s wait time is 97% longer than in 1993 when it was just 9.3 weeks."

Dems Claim Data Awan Took Was Homework | The Daily Caller

Dems Claim Data Awan Took Was Homework | The Daily Caller:

"Democratic congressional aides made unauthorized access to a House server 5,400 times and funneled “massive” amounts of data off of it. But there’s nothing to see here, Democrats told The Washington Post: They were just storing and then re-downloading homework assignments for Imran Awan’s elementary-school aged kids and family pictures.

A congressional source with direct knowledge of the incident contradicted the Post’s account, saying that now-indicted IT aide Imran Awan and his associates “were moving terabytes off-site so they could quote ‘work on the files'” "

Narrative Fail: Russia Facebook Ads Showed Support For BLM, Clinton

Narrative Fail: Russia Facebook Ads Showed Support For BLM, Clinton
"The Democrats' Trump/Russia collusion narrative took a major hit this week when Facebook leaks about Russia-linked ads forced disappointed Dems to walk back their anti-Trump messaging. 
Congressional leaders, in the meantime, have reportedly renewed their focus on Team Obama's election-year political espionage.

The anti-Trumpers' promising story-line -- "Trump and Russia colluded on Facebook" -- had to be downgraded to merely "Russia sought to create incivility and chaos" when it was discovered that the Russia-linked group in question promoted issues and groups on both sides of the political spectrum.

According to Facebook's investigators, the company sold up to $150,000 worth of ads to a Russian government-affiliated troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency, which bought the ads through hundreds of phony Facebook pages and accounts.

The intelligence community describes the Internet Research Agency as "a state-funded organization that blogs and tweets on behalf of the Kremlin."

At least one of the over 3,000 Russia-bought ads, which Facebook will soon turn over to Congress, promoted Black Lives Matter and specifically targeted audiences in Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, CNN reported on Wednesday.

The Black Lives Matter ad appeared on Facebook at some point in late 2015 or early 2016, the sources said. The sources said it appears the ad was meant to appear both as supporting Black Lives Matter but also could be seen as portraying the group as threatening to some residents of Baltimore and Ferguson..."

George Washington University committee will explore renaming ‘problematic’ campus buildings - The College Fix:
"Student committee will consider whether buildings are named after ‘bigoted or discriminatory’ individuals
A new committee at an elite Washington, D.C. university will explore the possibility of changing “problematic” building names.
Amid a flurry of iconoclasm aimed at Civil War and other early American symbols, students at George Washington University are forming a committee to examine the backgrounds of people for whom buildings on campus are named in order to determine “if individuals with bigoted or discriminatory views are being honored on campus,” The GW Hatchet reports.
...Earlier this year, Yale University renamed its Calhoun College due to its namesake’s slave-owning past.
In January, meanwhile, the University of Michigan rolled out “a process to rename buildings” named after those who “supported slavery or discrimination.”"
