  • Giving birth in a hotel room? For some Indigenous women, gaps in care mean few options

  • You bet wrong.

  • 5 years after promising to restrict vaping flavours, its unclear whether Canada will

  • You know what could have stopped this? Banning the sale of disposable vapes instead of banning RTAs and RDAs (rebuildable tank and drip atomizers).

    I'd really be interested in finding out the financial investments of the medical people who set up the restrictions and bans in the first place because I bet somebody had their fingers in that insider-information pie.

  • After his personal info may have been exposed by Alberta separatists, Kenney says he thinks it was no accident

  • Nah. He's still be a right wing twat.

  • Trump admin kills Canadian-owned wind project — and demands investment in fossil fuels instead

  • Trump ducks press after meeting with Brazil’s Lula takes sudden mystery turn

  • Maybe he's in the hospital with a lack-of-a-heart attack?

  • Local nerd disappointed he didn’t get the long form census

  • My 87-yr-old rooming house landlord got it and it's driving her nuts. Seems almost every month she gets more paperwork to fill out and it's frustrating at best.

  • The Canada Pension Fund is NOT for rich people to use. It's mandated by the government to make sure that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) funding for retired and disabled Canadians is adequate for our needs.

  • Alaska landslide set off CN Tower-sized tsunami last year — and a warning for B.C.

  • I would add taking a cruise of the BC/Alaskan coast as well.

    The fiord usually sees about three cruise ships a day, but in summer months more than 20 ships visit Tracy Arm and nearby Endicott Arm fiords daily.

  • Report: 15,000 Pakistanis arrested and deported from UAE, savings seized

  • Why is this happening?

    The deportations come amid a broader cooling of ties between the UAE and Pakistan. Abu Dhabi recently demanded early repayment of a $3.5 billion financial support package, a move seen by observers as a sign of growing frustration with Islamabad.

    At the same time, Pakistan’s evolving geopolitical positioning, including its engagement with Iran and perceived lack of strong response to regional tensions, has added to the unease.

    In contrast, the UAE has been strengthening ties with India, deepening cooperation in trade, investment, and security. This shift highlights a recalibration of regional priorities that appears to be leaving Pakistan increasingly isolated.

  • Video captures grey whale being struck by jet ski rider in Vancouver

  • I don't have a problem with jet skis. I do have a problem with the idiots who drive jet skis.

    Mandatory licensing and big fines for breaking the rules already in place should be adopted.

  • How Thunder Bay police investigated their own Indigenous board chair

  • I lived in T'Bay while attending university. Trust me when I say it is one of the most racist cities I've ever lived in (I've lived in cities and small towns from Ontario to BC).

    For a time I volunteer with with a service dedicated to helping street people and sometimes drove people to appointments, etc where I saw how medical staff treated unhoused and poor people ... esp First Nations and Inuit.

    I also saw how the community and police services treated the multiple deaths of First Nations people. Cops did lazy investigations, rarely if ever charging anyone.

  • Shock, horror as province cancels contracts to build health-care facilities

  • No it's not. It's Burnaby, BC where the contacts were canceled.

  • Three dead in suspected hantavirus outbreak on Atlantic cruise ship

  • Fyi hantavirus is what killed Gene Hackman's wife.

  • Senator says growing list of vacancies signals 'the end of an era' for independence

  • Yup. The Harper years were terrible. He is probably the worst PM Canada has ever had.

  • Israel approves plan to buy F-35 and F-15IA fighter jets from Lockheed, Boeing

  • Seems Bibi is making plans for a 10 yr war.

  • Alberta government says wild horse population has reached 'unacceptable' levels, advocates disagree

  • As an aside the main reason Marlaina is pushing for a large cull (based on quack numbers) is because the cattle ranchers push for it every year.

    Removing the horses won't help the environment because they'll just be replaced by herds of cattle.

  • Senator says growing list of vacancies signals 'the end of an era' for independence

  • They are of value because they double-check government bills and act as a check on governmental powers.

    If we didn't have the Senate we could/would be in a world of hurt.

  • Meta contractor fires 1,100 AI trainers after they revealed Ray-Ban glasses recorded private and intimate footage

  • I side with the whistleblowers myself.
