Canada Wellness People: Minister’s Remarks Puts Chiropractors Under the Spotlight

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

The Globe & Mail’s FrontPage report entitled the Science Minister won’t confirm Belief in Evolution has provoked a lively debate between on the one hand Canadian Bloggers outraged by the Jonathan Kay on The Globe & Mail’s appalling front-page smear on religious … and on the other hand those who started praying in despair that the Lord help this country. Because science apparently won’t..

Honourable Gary Goodyear, Canada’s Science and Technology Minister, the man at the centre of the controversy over federal funding cuts to researchers, is reported to have sparked the controversy by declining to confirm in an interview, whether he believes in evolution. He is quoted as having replied as follows:.

”I’m not going to answer that question. I am a Christian, and I don’t think anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate,”

Instead of going into the widely discussed merits and demerits of the statement, we wanted to find as the Honourable Minister is a chiropractor by training, how chiropractors are making news in other countries of the world. The following is a quick Tour du Monde of Chiropractor stories as reported by media around the world during this week.

The US Phillyist in Craiglist Round Up: The Chiropractor Edition that the chiropractic field is busy on Craig’s List these days: Trade your chimney sweeping skills , driveway removal skills , floor tiling skills , family room carpeting skills , just plain old anything skills , or your beach house for some chiropractoring. One dirty ass pick up truck for barter. Surely, someone is in the market for two …

The US Carrollton Leader reports that Spinal health key to staying young . It says “people are living longer these days compared to 100 years ago. By 2050, research suggests 800,000 Americans will be over 100 and that many people will live to be 150 and thus confirm the growing demand for chiropractic services in the coming years.

The New Zealand Herald complains that Spinal Care Costs NZ $13.5 Million a Year to the delight of local chiropractors. It say that “Taxpayers are forking out $13.5 million a year to send New Zealanders to chiropractors - 50 per cent more than five years ago.
