I'm well aware. I wasn't explicit enough in my complaint.

Having been forced to use the abomination that Telus built to provide Saskatchewan residents with web access to personal health records, I stand by my claim that not being able to build (or manage the building of) a website is reason enough to exclude them from anything that can actually cause harm.

This is one of the sites I had in mind when commenting elsewhere that management doesn't seem to understand or care that modern software development requires teams made up of those who specialize in everything from security to user interface design, not a bunch of random "nerds" popped in and out following the quarterly staffing budget.

I can see it now: random doctors with random qualifications assigned randomly to whatever task is at hand.

Language is a wonderful chaos. You're just on the leading edge of change! :)

Are you sure about that? I'm from Canada and distinctly remember the travel ads urging us to head on down to participate in the bicentennial celebrations, meant to celebrate the second century of that country's founding.

Great. They can barely run a website and somebody wants them to do health care? Lunacy.

I was taught that the "bi" prefix was a multiplier and "semi" was a divider.

That meant biweekly, bimonthly, biannually were every 2 weeks, months, years and semi-weekly, semi-monthly, semi-annually were every half a week, half a month, and half a year.

Then the real world intruded and I've been confused ever since. About the only time I hear "semi" and "bi" used on a regular basis the way I expect is with pay periods. Biweekly is every two weeks and semi-monthly is twice a month.

Canada, by the way.

PS: I suppose bisexual and semi trailers also fit my expectations.

As long as there also appropriate laws and regulations on the use of biometric recognition and retention of recordings in which there is no complaint.

How about instead of being "not trained to do" neck kneelings, they be trained not to do neck kneelings.

Looks like it still has rubber tires, so probably just fine.

Thanks for the insight. Regulatory capture is a problem with everything, it seems.

CanCon isn't the answer until it pushes actual content instead of writers and production staff.

If Dick Wolf had done things differently, he could have made Law & Order in Canada without changing one thing in the scripts and had it labeled CanCon.

On the other hand, if he had decided to make a Law & Order actually that takes place in Canada without changing anything about the various writers and staff or production facilities, it couldn't have been labeled CanCon.

I'm all for trying to build the industry, but I think it's more important to reflect who we are.
