        Thank you for sharing positive news. It has helped counteract the bombardment of fear inducing news I normally see. Thank you again my fellow Canadian. I look forward to watching you on Bill Maher tonight. Good luck.

        There is a lot of good news. It is good you point it out. The problem is inequality and disparity in outcomes. Its the differences in relative benefits that lead to conflict globally.

        One more reason to rethink your belief in "God" if you currently have it...Why would "he" allow us to figure out how to help the people with this disease many of whom got it by doing bad things but we still can't cure an innocent 2 year old who develops type 1 diabetes?

        I think it’s far too soon to break out the champagne, there still is a long and difficult road ahead. Treatment alone isn’t the solution, poverty, ignorance and stigma play a major role and are hard to overcome.
