Today's editorial states that the French Cultural Minister says that if the cultural world does not support Polanski there would be no French culture. He confuses culture and immorality. Unfortunatley it seems that French values have so disintegrated that they are the same. Immorality is not a Canadian value.
On another value note there is now a coalition (A8) objecting to insurance companies refusing life and long term disability insurance without medical testing to someone who has Huntington's disease in the family. More moral confusion. The insurance companies are there to make money, not to provide a health service. Insuring those with certain diseases at regular rates will raise costs for the rest of us and potentially bankrupt the insurance company.Although I am sorry for people with hereditary diseases, the options are to save more or change government policy - not try to make insurance companies look after their unfortunate but extraordinary needs. Refusing coverage at standard rates is not discrimination as claimed, but only reasonable business practice.
