I recieved a reply from the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine. The Executive Director said that she would forward any research presented by All About Receiving Cash, or AARC. However, since that reply I have heard nothing.
As I pointed out earlier, the AARC study, touted in the Alberta Legislature by the reptile rep from AARC's riding, was written by the Wizard of Vause with help from Nathalie Oldcomer and Dr. Sleepy Goresky, a board member of... AARC. Additionally, the study was authored by Mr. Doctorpatton of the faculty of the Union Institute, alma mater of the illustrious Fr. Cassian aka V.M. Newton and the Wiz.
Additionally, three of the Illustrious non-doctors who sold AARC to the Alberta government back in '93 were from the Union Institute. Oh, and Peter Choda, who will classify you as a stage four addict on behalf of AARC for a nominal fee, paid by your parents or the rotary club or the government, also authored the study.
By the by, I noticed that the Union Institute now offers a B.A. in Addictions Magic Spells, or some such thing. Could Nathalie Oldcomer, Brown and Campbell be alumni of Dear Old Union?
Why is it that nobody at AARC comes from the University of Calgary? After all, the Empress Ann McCaig, who heads the board of AARC is the Chancellor Emeritus of the University of Calgary. And fecal freak Janne H. is a teacher of Starsky and Hutch or some such at Mount Royal College, another post-secondary institution in Calgary with a social work program. Nobody from MRC wants to work at the only addictions treatment program with an 85% success rate?
