Check out the LCDC Publications section, as well as excellent compassionate policies on AIDS, Mental Health and Palliative Care which makes one proud to be Canadian. The best Canadian health site for medical and non-medical persons. (Warning: This site is not recommended for Octogenerians as the home page blatantly tells you the Canadian life expectancies, 81 for females and 75 for males.
