Thank you Kristi for this.  I frequently feel like screaming!  I suggest
the following:

1. Responding quickly and supporting columnists and health reporters who go
against the grain.
2. Attempting to communicate with opposition politicians.  However, when
the conservatives were in power in Ontario, I found willing listeners in
the opposition Liberals.  Now that the Liberals are in power, they are
doing the same thing!
3. Providing parodies and ridiculing the "health authorities" who know what
they are doing is crass self-advancement.  This is an excellent stress
reliever!
4.  Supporting those health units doing good things and letting the world
know about it!:  Waterloo, Sudbury, Chinook, Peterborough, Ottawa, Interior
Region, Montreal.
5. Sending letters to newspaper editors.
6.  Reading the European health policy literatures to remind ourselves that
we are the rational ones and that the lifestyle advocates are not.
7. SUPPORTING PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION: the single factor likely to lead
to positive change.

others...?
