After Qalipu First Nation chief and council boycotted a protest held in support of ousted band members, Greg Janes, Chief of the Burgeo Band of Indians, and Margaret Cranford, who was denied status because she lives on the east coast of Newfoundland, ponder where to from here.
Qalipu First Nation has claimed that it had no advance warning of herbicide spraying by Emera on power lines that pass through a popular berry-picking. It has since emerged, however, that the band received multiple notices about the spraying over the past four months and did nothing to stop it. The herbicide has made hundreds of gallons of blueberries and bakeapples unfit to eat. This week, Greg Janes of the Burgeo Band of Indians wants answers, and Norm Strickland Sr.—who has been picking berries in the area for more than 40 years—worries about runoff into nearby brooks and the impact on the area's birds and caribou.
After a splashy photo-op last fall with Liberal MPs, the Qalipu/Federation of Newfoundland Indians has not sealed a deal with the feds on getting back status for any of the 10,000 kicked out a year ago. Time to turn up the political heat, says Greg Janes, one of the organizers of ABLE: Anyone But Liberals Elected.

We welcome Greg Janes from TelePharm to share the vision of telemedicine delivered by community pharmacies empowered by advanced technology. About TelePharm: In 2010, Roby Miller's family owned a chain of six rural retail pharmacies in eastern Iowa. The small communities where their pharmacies were located, thanks largely to policy changes related to payments for prescription medications, weren't providing enough business to cover the expense of operating a pharmacy. Due to these financial constraints, the family was forced to close one pharmacy and sell another – and the remaining pharmacies were at risk. TelePharm develops a solution Then in 2012, the Miller family was approached by a local Health Board to consider bringing a pharmacy back to their community. Wanting to help, Roby founded TelePharm and developed a solution that would be affordable, easy to maintain, and feasible in low-volume rural locations. In October 2012, they opened Iowa's first telepharmacy and began helping others to bring local pharmacies back to their communities. Since then, others have realized the value in the model that TelePharm created and more telepharmacies have opened across the United States. The number of TelePharm Pharmacies, as well as our team, continue to grow today. TelePharm 105 Iowa Ave Suite 231 Iowa City, IA 52240 319-535-0571 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
