Canadian Blood Services lowers wait times

Canadian blood services has announced a reduction in wait times for certain people to give blood. Also they have lifted the ban on giving blood for persons who had lived three or more months in Britan or France since 1997. I like this. I had lived ten months in France in 1998-1999 and I always heard about how blood is needed, and that there is a huge shortage of blood products so "we need more blood", but, when I went to give blood, I was rejected. Story of my life. Anyways, now I can feel less like a leper and have my blood accepted.
Suckers.
