unpublished cartoons: Apr. 2008: New "Copper Clad" Health Unit


Wow, did the Sun Times ever get blasted by some readers... and of course the executives of the new Health Centre, for daring to raise some questions and concerns about how it was built, where it was built, and how much it costs. Of course, some people praised the Paper for raising these concerns as well. Seems to me that the news media... in a democracy, anyway, has the job of watchdog and alerting folks about possible problems. Whether the paper went too far this time or if they were as discreet as they might have been is a question that each individual will have to answer. Seems sometimes the old guard dog at home might bark too loudly at a possible intruder who turns out to be a well meaning neighbour... and then we get frustrated with the dog. Hey, he's just doing his job. Why not give him a cookie and say "good boy" and "we'll take it from here, so you can just go back to restful alert status."
