The Ontario government’s finances are a paradox. The PC government regularly boasts about “historic” levels of spending, but faces constant complaints about underfunding, especially from the health-care, education and post-secondary sectors. Read More
Things come in threes. 28 Years Later is the third film in the long-running series, following director Danny Boyle’s audacious original from 2002, 28 Days Later — it gave us fast zombies! — and mostly ignoring 2007’s 28 Weeks Later. Read More

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will either clear the House of Commons and move to the Lords, or fail completely
MPs have gathered in the House of Commons for the third reading of the assisted dying bill. If approved, it will then go to the House of Lords.
There will also be four votes in the Commons on changes within the bill since it was last put to MPs in November.
The terminally ill adults (end of life) bill has huge implications for hospices, our staff, volunteers and patients, as well as the health system and society more broadly. But there are still many unanswered questions around how a future assisted dying service would work.
Given this lack of clarity we welcome the introduction of new clause 20, which would require the government to consult with palliative and end of life care providers if the bill progresses. It is vital that the access of palliative and end of life care for everyone is increased, and for that we need a better funding model for hospices.
Four hundred distribution points have dwindled to four under this private and militarised ‘aid’ system. This is not how to avert a famine

Abed Al Rahman, just a boy, carried the weight of his family’s hunger as he stepped into the streets of Gaza in search of bread. He had his father’s money, but when he saw the tide of people pushing towards a food distribution site in Rafah, hunger pulled him into their flow.
Almost immediately, the site descended into chaos. Gunfire. Drones. Then in a flash, shrapnel from a tank shell ripped through his little body. When I met him at a hospital in Khan Younis – where painkillers, like food, are scarce – the 13-year-old was in agony. “I have shrapnel inside my body that they couldn’t remove,” he told me. “I am in real pain; since 6am I have been asking for a painkiller.” As he recounted the chaos, his father’s composure shattered, and tears rolled down his face. Was he going to lose his son simply because Abed Al Rahman wanted his family to eat?
When the "Truth Hurts" singer explained her transformation in April, she credited applying "a calorie deficit" and cutting "sugary stuff" from her diet.
