I would like to start a letter writing campaign. It is no good just to come into this board and read about COPD. We have to get the message out to our government officials about the seriousness of COPD and how much we need their help in funding research and medical programs specifically geared for lung disease. We have done wonders in the field of cancer medication both chemotherapy and radiation treatments and new medicines. We need to apply the same expertise in our battle with lung disease. It is rising in the numbers that it kills and cancer is on the wan. But COPD is now the number four killer and rising rapidly to soon become number three. As a serious advocate for COPD I have written many letters and would encourage each one of us to make ourselves known and demand some action from our officials. Remember the old adage is still very true "The squeaky wheel gets the oil" As ever, the bear. Contact BBrooks@copdcanada.ca or bbrooks43@sympatico.ca

Barry this is a video mostly geared for the USA but maybe there is something in it that will help with your getting the word out to the people of Canada.
Hope it helps Betty
