North Dakota spends zero dollars on alcohol prevention. The money comes from the federal government and is funneled through various state agencies. Those federal dollars are increasingly in short supply.

We're not out to punish the alcohol industry. We're looking at finding a source of predictable funds from a source that makes sense.

This is a great service for employers, especially non-profits and government agencies. Employers can save money and reach a talented audience of job seekers. Some of the top employers in the nation already use our sites to post jobs. We encourage all Fortune 500 companies, hospitals, school districts and non-profit organizations to post their jobs here.

The government has worked hard to strengthen preparedness and prevention efforts and good progress has been made.

For smaller businesses, their budgets are often so tight that they're really fretful about putting money into prevention because they're not sure it's a tangible investment for them.

We applaud the B.C. government for its leadership in this important and emerging area of cancer prevention. We believe prevention holds the most promise for reducing the burden of cancer, by preventing cancer from occurring in the first place. We expect other jurisdictions will strive to emulate this B.C. initiative.
