In Toronto there has been many deaths related to C. Defficile infections, over 20 sense late May. I think the lead of this article "TORONTO - Three more deaths have been linked to C. difficile infections in Ontario as eight hospitals continue efforts to contain outbreaks of the infection." I think this lead is relatively effective because it gets to the point but offers reassurance that hospitals are trying to contain the outbreak. "Niagara Region health officials say two patients in St. Catharine’s and one in Niagara-on-the-Lake died Thursday night." the source of the quote was the Niagara Region health officials. They do use the most interesting facts first, the fact that 20 deaths have occurred was mentioned in the first few lines, but the fact that those 20 deaths were spread out over 10 different hospitals wasn't mentioned until the end. I don't find the story has a very good ending it more or less just stops.

In Canada the inflation rate jumped 0.4 points to 3.1 per cent in August. The lead "OTTAWA - Canada's annual inflation rate jumped 0.4 points to 3.1 per cent in August as consumers paid more for gasoline, food and many other items as well." is a relativley effective lead, gets straight to the point and explains what inflation means.
