Safeway Canada's Blue Ribbon Campaign for Prostate Cancer


Three cheers for Safeway Canada for their recent campaign to raise funds for prostate cancer research... We all know that prostate cancer affects more men than breast cancer does women.

Someone I know said that Safeway had a breast and prostate cancer campaign about four years ago, however, they chose to go with a pink ribbon as a symbol rather than keep the two campaigns separate as they should have been. This is a much better campaign. Perhaps we should give written kudos to Safeway for supporting men's health issues.

And yet the so-called breast cancer awareness campaigns have been ever present at various stores and in the print and electronic media.

I'd really like to get a Blue Ribbon campaign going in Winnipeg, to counter what is being taken away via breast cancer campaigns.

One of these days someone will be crying that their father, child, uncle, grandfather is dying of prostate cancer because there was not enough funding to help him.

I really feel that what the current craze over breast cancer is all about is not really about the cancer itself, but it is just the inevitable result of all those abortions that were performed after birth control pills were made widely available. It's just catching up to the women.

Told 'ya so.
