The federal NDP candidate and riding executives in Guelph sent a letter blaming “white fragility” for the removal of an Ontario MPP from the provincial NDP caucus after a falling out over her offensive comments about the Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel on Oct. 7. The letter was co-signed by several local leaders of the federal NDP in Guelph, including Janice Folk-Dawson, who was acclaimed as the federal NDP’s candidate for Guelph in September. “The decision to remove (Jama) from the caucus has now completely overshadowed the anti-democratic, anti-free speech, punitive censorship by the Ford government,” the Guelph letter read. The Guelph NDP riding association did not respond to National Post’s request for comment, nor did the Ontario and federal NDP. However, sources within the Ontario NDP tell the National Post trouble within the party has been brewing for years.

Administrator | Jan 25, 2024 | Comments 0The Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board has changed the date of the professional activity (PA) day in April to Monday, April 8, from Friday, April 12. Prior to making this decision the board consulted neighbouring school boards, Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board, and Limestone District School Board, as well as Tri-Board Transportation. It is felt that combining the PA Day with the date of the eclipse will likely provide the least amount of disruption to families.

Last week, Saskatchewan ended a nearly six-year-old policy of distributing clean pipes, like the one pictured here in an Ottawa file photo. Last week, the provincial health ministry announced it would stop providing clean pipes and require people to return a used needle in order to receive a clean needle. The province's new rules mean third-party organizations will also not be able to use provincial funds to provide clean pipes. Harm reduction sites "are a lifeline for some of the clientele that visit on a regular basis, because they can get support [and] they can be heard," said Breland. Treatment, harm reduction both needed: advocatesThe mental health and addictions minister told CBC last week the policy change should signal that "there's hope for recovery."

The Current 16:50 Anesthesiologist shortage puts surgeries in jeopardyKelly Konieczny is one of many people who've had their surgeries delayed because of a lack of anesthesiologists in Alberta. Dr. Lucie Filteau, president of the Canadian Anesthesiologist Society, says the anesthesiologist shortage is not just a problem in Alberta. He added that burnout among physicians is a factor, and morale at hospitals has been low the past few years. This means cancer-related surgeries are scheduled first, while non-urgent surgeries, and those related to quality of life, have to wait. Dr. Lucie Filteau, president of the Canadian Anaesthesiologist Society, says this is a problem provinces are facing across Canada.

WATCH | How Ottawa is capping international students in Canada: Ottawa is capping international students in Canada: Get the details Duration 4:53 Marc Miller, minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship, outlined Monday how the federal government plans to cap the number of international students in Canada. But some economic experts say Saskatchewan could bring in more international students than before the cap because of its population and current permit allocation. Singh said as an international student, some of the messaging that blamed international students for rising home prices felt "vague and targeted." "Those extra dollars that go right to the university's bottom line and support programming are coming from these international students." Given that undergraduate international students pay nearly triple what domestic students pay, according to Statistics Canada, a rise in students could be an economic boon for the institutions.
