Class action lawsuit has just been filled in Canada over dental cream that hold force teeth in place. It’s ledge there’s enough zinc some creams cause brain damage. CBC’s Lisa Johnson has the details.
Amanda Deve’s remembered been healthy, able to job, ride a bike and work 12 hours a day, that end for her in May 2007.
“I was actually like I have a stroke. And it happened at work. And I lost all use of my voice and my wends, couldn’t walk or talk.”
For more than a year that she couldn’t walk or spend time with her grandkids. Treatment has helped he get back on the job, but her hands and voice still tremble and even the bright light from our TV interview triggered her symptoms.
“Just what a pain way, I had to stop.”
Deve’s blame her denture cream for making her sick. It contains zinc, which’s already been in the subjective several class action lawsuits in US.
“If you use fishing poly cream and other dental cream been diagnose with the zinc poisoning.”
This week the merchant law group filed class action lawsuit in three provinces including BC.
“We’ve been contacted by several hundred people. I think the estimation likely in the thousands of people that maybe effected.”
Now zinc is a mineral found in foods and lots of products. But it’s said high dose that can have serious side effects. The lawsuit claim the problem with these cream is that there’s no warning that contain zinc and no information on how much is safety use. Neither company will comment on the lawsuit. Classes make cline which make poly grain stop shipping product containing zinc last Feb. And when customers excessive zincing take would lead tingling, enormous and difficulty walking. Products in gamble makes fix dent which still contain zinc. The company says the product the safety use as directed as warning bout excessive use on some tooth.
“How’s your headache now?”
“Oh, it’s a lot better.”
Deve’s says the warning coming too late for her.

It was a rough morning commute today. Tens of thousands of commuters across metro Vancouver were late for work. After two sky train lines ground a hauled, official shut down on most of the system losing communication with the two trains. Here’s Debra Goble with what happened and why.
With school back in and most people’s summer vocation is just distant memory. The reality rush hour came back in, full forth this morning.
“Well, I’m not sure, if I’m going to make it anytime.”
It was just after 7:15, when the sky train went down, leaving tens of thousands of people scrambling to get where they were going.
“I’m from King George and I’m going to water front, but I have to like transfer here, so to other place.”
“I’m gonna be late for school.”
Extra buses were called in.
“I waited for like 15 minutes.”
“I say 45 minutes.”
For those already aboard, one of the 56 sky trains in service. It meant being stuck for anywhere between 2 and 30 minutes.
“Headache though and frustrating.”
“People get notorious?”
“Oh, no.”
It was a tough commute. All was because of a small piece of metal on the part of the track known as the loop.
“You see the thick wire running alone? That’s the loop and that communicates between train and the central computer. And what happened this morning is there was something in the railway didn’t belong there. It was picked up by the train and it took out one of those loops. When that happens the computer loses his contact with the train. And when that happens the automated system shuts down until we find out what the deal is with the train. Obviously, you don’t want trains bumping into each other.”
Translink says that didn’t and won’t ever happen because safety precautions like the one that was implemented today work. Still was about 4 hours before the sky train was completely back to normal.

While letter carriers were delivering the mail today, their Union was delivering a warning. It says Canada Post hasn’t been back filling workers become ill or take leave and Union says that means undelivered mail piles up.

Canada post says it is a challenge dealing with the unplanned absent workers but the cooperation says if your cheque is in the mail, it will still get through.
“Definitely, if there are important mail items like that we’re getting them out. We’re taking you know the necessary matches to make sure that customer services is not jeopardize for important mail.”
However, the union said it has a growing list of ingrivence indicate that Canada post has not been covering rules adequately. They call it policy of non-delivery.
“Meeting customers expectation is nothing out of the ordinary for Canada post.”
Canada post says there’s no non-delivery policy, but official say with the growing use of email, the over all volume of mail has dropped and they’re trying to adjust the number of hours to work to match that but service they argue is been maintained.
“From where the items is coming from, that is either a 2,3 or 4 day delivery standard and we’re meeting those 96% of the time, either meeting or exceeding that number.”
The Union meanwhile says it’s been documenting several unstaff routs that and they say if the mail is been delayed it’s not just incontinence.
“Well in fact, Canada post Act states and its active legislation that if you intensively delay the mail, it maybe editable fines or resulting up to five years in prison.”
Canada post says if the customer don’t get the mail for a few days, it could be because nothing were sent to them.

“Truly frustrating seeing was meant to be really a central piece of Olympic Legacy, not be treated in the way that it should be.”
The city social housing units are to be managed by a none profit group, but housing organization say they haven’t see any request for proposals. One of the reasons for that is the question mark of the rentals. For those sweets, one bedroom will cost $1600 a month, a two bedroom for $1900 a month, and a four bedroom are rent for almost $2400 a month. Those units are supposed to be offer to health care and public safety workers first. The city calls it a priority focus. But that priority focus is creating complications between the city of Vancouver and BC housing. And that is resulting delays.
“There needs to be a movement from both organizations. We can’t have bureaucracy’s pointing each other. Bureaucratic aren’t gonna answer anything.”
Another groups began to discussions with city 7 years ago concerning the Olympic social housing. Aviks say the original promise of 20% of the village units for low cost of housing will eventually went down to 5%, just by sometimes workers protest. So sweets are still empty, the city is current taking names for the market housing and created a waiting list for a subsidized housing. The city says the talks are on the way to the BC housing to resolve the delays.

听录音请按这里(Audio): http://www.box.net/shared/3z8zy47fsu
Well tributes to a much loved airdrie high school teacher are growing fast, Skye Mcgowan died in a weekend crash in terrace BC. That crash is surrounded in confusion, and that’s left many people who knew Skye Mcgowan is specially upset. The CBC’s Mary Katherine has the story.
There’s a lot of heart behind this class project. It started with one piece of Bristol board.
“When I first come to this school as a new student, he was kind of the one who was always in the haul way, always highfiving and saying hi, making sure you really feel welcome.”
That friendly teacher was 44 year old Skye Mcgowan or Mgow as some students called him.
“You believed when no one else dead, love and remember always.”
Those words could’ve also been written by Jordan Schaffland himself.
“A lot of times I feel like giving up and a lot of times I feel like, you know, why am I still here and has to be an importance of me being here, or I wouldn’t be here. So having been told not to give up, not just from anybody, but from a teacher who care so much.”
The false news that Mcgowan’s wife was also killed in the accident, started humming around Facebook and spread to at least one major newspaper.
“Finding out that it was in the news, that was the wrong information, a part just from Facebook, really make a lot of people upset.”
Reports also say Mcgowan’s son was driving the car. Christa Harriman called mutual friends to find out what happened.
“They said, no he was alone, his kids are young, they won’t driving him. His wife is alive, she’s been contacted with the teacher from the school here.”
A school students here say won’t be the same without Skye Mcgowan.
