			This morning I wrote about Don Ching, a Saskatchewan boy from rural 
			Oxbow who wants to take his supposed crown company, SaskTel, to new 
			conquests away from Saskatchewan and as far away as Australia.
			Now we have Laurie Thompson, another rural Saskatchewan boy who 
			wants to take health care away from rural Saskatchewan and push 
			forward Ken Fyke's fraudulent recommendations to establish between 
			13 to 17 acute health centres. Laurie Thompson, CEO of Health 
			Services Utilization and Research Commission (HSURC), has much to 
			gain from Ken Fyke's recommendations since such recommendations 
			include the provision for the establishment of a bigger research 
			centre where Laurie Thompson and his friendly researchers can 
			concoct more Bell shaped fraudulent health researches on behalf of 
			rural Saskatchewan.  
			
			 This 
			NDP government has run out of ideas and as a consequence Premier 
			Lorne Calvert needs as much publicity as he can to support Ken 
			Fyke's recommendations. And again it is now the turn for June Bold, 
			director of grants and awards at HSURC, to praise the exciting 
			bigger possibilities she can have in granting more grants and more 
			awards if more rural hospitals can be closed and establish as a 
			consequence Ken Fyke's proposed $20 to $40 million centralized 
			health research centre.  
			I hope that rural Saskatchewan realizes how it is being cheated 
			by this government and take the step along with their urban cousins 
			to get rid of this inept evidence based research leadership.
