© Provided by CNET Sarah Tew/CNETMint Mobile may soon be acquired by T-Mobile, but that hasn't stopped it from still making some moves on its own. Starting on April 14, the prepaid provider will be upping the amount of data it offers to its new and existing users while still keeping its pricing at the same levels they are at today. The Ryan Reynolds-owned carrier has already begun alerting its users about the change on Sunday. Mint's plan refresh comes a bit over two weeks after T-Mobile announced it would be buying the prepaid carrier and its parent company, Ka'ena Corporation, in a potential $1.35 billion deal. That acquisition is expected to close later this year.

We all know that there are forces calling for the defunding of the CBC. And while radio is CBC’s force for local news, current-affairs and information, the CBC provides a platform for this country’s creative community. What would happen to our writers and book publishers without “Canada Reads,” “Writers and Company,” and the Giller prize gala broadcast? Economics aside, what of our Canadian creative talent? The CBC commissions more Canadian programs in the drama, comedy and documentary categories than all private broadcasters combined.

EDMONTON - Police say a regimental funeral has been scheduled for two Edmonton officers who were shot and killed in the line of duty last week. The funeral for Travis Jordan, who was 35, and Brett Ryan, 30, is to be held March 27 at Rogers Place, the home arena for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League. Police say the boy shot and wounded his mother during a struggle for the gun and then shot and killed himself. The officers’ bodies are set to be transported Tuesday from the medical examiner’s office to a funeral home. He said the boy’s 73-year-old father was in another room in the apartment at the time and was not injured.

My advice is that you give a lot of thought before you quit a job you like to jump to a “better” job that offers more money, but not enough security. We’re also seeing a stronger emphasis by employees that value a work-life balance with more flexibility. Employees are looking for companies that value their “whole selves” and realize work is just one aspect of their lives. The key to retention is not only doling out bigger compensation packages, but also how much employers step up to help employees achieve a better work-life balance. Those in senior management roles are becoming more aware of their own work-life balance and, perhaps for the first time, this realization has been filtering down through the ranks.

He also demanded answers on why that data — briefly made available to international researchers earlier this year — is now missing. The data from the January 2020 samples was posted on GISAID in late January 2023, shortly before the Chinese research was released. One is that the samples were taken by Chinese researchers in early January 2020, but that data was only recently shared with the rest of the world. And until the data from the samples taken at Huanan market was uploaded in late January, they didn’t know those puzzle pieces existed. Scientists already knew from last year that there were samples from the Huanan market that tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

Advocates say increased recruiting incentives are a step in the right direction, but more has to be done to keep doctors in rural and northern Saskatchewan. But working as a physician in rural and northern Saskatchewan isn't for everyone. "We think … more dollars and a longer length of the program should really help to to attract more doctors to rural Saskatchewan," Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley told Blue Sky. Both he and Tootoosis also said getting more experience in rural communities during their education is critically important for those studying to become doctors. Submitted by Sean GrovesGroves said his tenure as a physician in a northern Saskatchewan community has been very rewarding.

The Toronto Maple Leafs ventured into Canada’s Capital to take on the Senators less than 24 hours after defeating the Carolina Hurricane on Friday night in Toronto. The GoodThe number one “Good” thing that happened in this game was the Maple Leafs won a game they fully deserved to lose. There is no way that Murray could face any blame when the puck went into the net the first time. However, fortunately for him and the Maple Leafs, the original tying goal was called back on a coach’s appeal for offside. How well Murray played in the game was demonstrated by his being named the second star in the game despite giving up four goals.
