Due to the hard work of Deanna Williamson and Linda Reutter of
the University of Alberta, the Canadian Public Health Association
(CPHA) endorsed a strong resolution at its annual meeting
yesterday that commits the CPHA to addressing the health effects
of poverty.

As soon as possible, the complete resolution will be posted. My
modest contribution to the issue of income and health at the CPHA
conference is now available at http://www.utoronto.ca/qol  Once
there, click on "projects" and look for the last paper in the
inequality and health section.

*************************************************************
In the early hours I read in the paper of epoch-making projects
On the part of pope and sovereigns, bankers and oil barons.
With my other eye I watch
The pot with the water for my tea
The way it clouds and starts to bubble and clears again
And overflowing the pot quenches the fire.

 -- Bertolt Brecht
