Canadian patients experienced the longest wait times for medical treatment on record last year, with median delays reaching an unprecedented 30 weeks.

A “close confidant” of the Duke of York is an alleged Chinese spy who has been banned from entering the UK on national security grounds.
The man, known only as H6, was once a junior civil servant in China and was so close to Prince Andrew that he had been told he could act on the royal’s behalf when dealing with potential investors in China, according to a secret hearing.
He was also invited to the Duke’s birthday party in 2020, and was described by the judges overseeing the case as a “close confidant of the Duke”.
There are now more people who have contracted polio through vaccines than the wild virus itself.
The World Health Organization (WHO) published a report last week, which recorded nine new polio cases that were caused by the vaccines in four African countries in Nigeria, Central African Republic, Angola and the Congo.
A total of 16 countries have had similar outbreaks. That includes cases in other African counties, and in Asia in places such as the Philippines, China, Myanmar. It’s risen the count of polio cases caused by vaccines to 157.
Defense contractor Oshkosh had only delivered 93 trucks by November — compared to 3,000 originally expected by now. The delays put Biden’s climate goals at risk.
A multibillion-dollar program to buy electric vehicles for the U.S. Postal Service is far behind its original schedule, plagued by manufacturing mishaps and supplier infighting that threaten a cornerstone of outgoing President Joe Biden’s fight against climate change.
The Postal Service is slated to purchase 60,000 “Next Generation Delivery Vehicles,” or NGDVs — mostly electric — from defense contractor Oshkosh, which has a long history of producing military and heavy industrial vehicles, but not postal trucks. Congress provided $3 billion for the nearly $10 billion project in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, one of Biden’s chief legislative accomplishments.
Radical gender ideology brainwashes children into believing they can be born in the wrong body which leads them to irreversibly harm their body to try to change their gender.
There are lots of mostly bad things that President Joe Biden can justly take credit for, but the fall of Syria is not one of them. The only real reason this happened is because Israel threw off the shackles and decided to go after Hezbollah after a year of terror. And Biden did everything to prevent that.
At the very end, he used an arms embargo to force Israel into a fake “ceasefire” with Hezbollah. But by then Israel had done enough damage to Hezbollah that Turkey’s Jihadists were able to just roll into Syria, and Iran decided to sell them out and pull back.
The Justice Department has charged a third TD Bank employee for his alleged role in a money-laundering scheme that led to over $3 billion in fines against the bank and prompted calls for greater accountability against TD executives.
Leonardo Ayala, a 24-year-old former TD employee who worked at a branch in Doral, Fla., was arrested on Tuesday and charged with facilitating money laundering to Colombia, prosecutors said. The charges against Ayala were unveiled Wednesday.
No one at TD Canada suffers much, they just raise fees to cover fines.
When Micaela Sawyer saw the photo of a weak, emaciated dog shuddering in the snow, she hoped desperately it was her Murphy.
The golden retriever with a dulled red coat and legs riddled with injuries, was unmistakably the dog she and her partner, Jim Barnes, had raised as a puppy, she said.
For more than 50 days, Barnes and Murphy had been the focus of an extensive search in the wilderness of western Canada after they vanished in mid-October.
A seasonal nativity scene at the Vatican has been removed after backlash over its depiction of the baby Jesus lying on a keffiyeh, the traditional scarf used by Palestinians as a national symbol, Catholic media outlets reported Wednesday.
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s comments likening Kamala Harris’s election loss to an attack on women’s rights and progress earned him criticism from the country’s premiers on Wednesday.
Speaking on Tuesday night at an event hosted by the Equal Voice Foundation — an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canadian politics — Trudeau said there are regressive forces fighting against women’s progress.
