Frontline-Canada, Issue 3, June 2011Interview sample question and partial response: How does the Mexican Navy relate to the Federal Police Force in dealing with drug trafficking? I think we in Mexico are more advanced than Canada in this kind of work because of the experience we have achieved. We are working with the civil authorities – not to replace them but to support and complement them.
Australian Journal of Maritime and Ocean Affairs (2010) Vol 2(4)Defining Canadian Arctic sovereignty: In keeping with the Canadian preference for seeking consensus, a circumpolar community is recognised and supported. The overall message from Canadians, particularly with respect to negotiating with the Americans around such matters as maritime borders for the Beaufort Sea, was summed up by the phrase ‘cooperation if necessary but not necessary cooperation’.

Abstract from summary: The historical constructs of Canada’s universal health system have not required public insurance plans to acquire skills in reimbursement of health services based on risk of needing such services; this limits their ability to define “supplemental” cost. Risk-sharing arrangements are called for that recognizes the contribution of public and private travel health insurance sectors in serving the need for out-of-country emergency medical insurance. Were such risk-sharing arrangements to exist provinces would generate revenue from the sale of risk currently being incurred by private insurers. Given their insight of the morbidity of their citizens, provinces could market coverage of pre-existing conditions for an added premium creating further revenue. Citizens would have comfort in knowing that part of their premium goes to their provincial health system. Such arrangements should reduce rate of premium price increase and improve transportation home to their provincial health system, their family and their community, which is where most people want to be when they are recovering from an accident or sudden illness.
