Travel insurance giant is denying payout, claiming Ontario man’s COVID is not severe enoughThe Clyson family trip to Antigua last March was something of a repeat. He had only mild symptoms, but the family vacation came to a halt. Luckily, Kathleen Anne thought, they had enough travel insurance. In addition to COVID emergency insurance — included in their Sunwing vacation package — she also paid for trip cancellation and interruption coverage. The Clysons expected their interruption insurance to cover the two vacation days derailed by Rob’s COVID test, and his hotel stay and flight to be covered by the COVID insurance.

In Canada’s second largest province, Poilievre is not only much less popular than his main rivals, but he is also off to a poorer start than his three predecessors. In voting intentions, the Conservative party lags far behind both the leading Liberals and the Bloc Québécois. Throughout its history and under its various incarnations, the federal Conservative party has almost always faced steep uphill election battles in Quebec. By virtue of his role as Official Opposition leader, Poilievre is now the prime minister’s chief critic. There is no doubt Legault and his team are keeping close tab on the links between Poilievre and his pal, provincial Conservative party Leader Éric Duhaime.

Sixteen Indigenous women from the Conne River area recently took part in a photo shoot to honour the memory of Chantel John, who was allegedly murdered by her ex-partner in 2019.

Francis said she wanted to honour John through a photo shoot involving Indigenous women for years, and finally got the chance to do so earlier this month. Sixteen women from Conne River and neighbouring communities took part, wearing red dresses and painted hands over their mouths, which symbolize missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada. John's adopted parents were also part of the photo shoot, which included an honour song played on a hand drum.

A non-profit organization dedicated to helping affordable rental housing tenants on Vancouver Island says B.C. The Rental Protection Fund, billed as a way to help protect tenants from rising rents, will give non-profit housing organizations one-time grants so they can buy affordable rental buildings. William Azaroff, CEO of Brightside Community Homes Foundation, says the funding will open new doors for their organization, which owns and manages over 20 affordable housing buildings across Vancouver. Non-Profit Housing Association (BCNPHA), says there are also building owners who want to sell to non-profits specifically, to ensure housing units are affordable to tenants.

It marks the transition from the federal program for industrial carbon pricing that has been put in place by Ottawa since 2019 when the Ford government scrapped Ontario’s cap-and-trade system. Ford and his government have been opposed to all forms of carbon pricing since taking office in 2018. The Trudeau government collects revenue in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, passing it back to taxpayers in those provinces through income tax rebates. The industrial carbon pricing revenue the federal government has collected in Ontario since 2019 is Determined For clean technology projects to help industries in the province reduce emissions. “Revenue from carbon pricing should be spent on clean economy initiatives,” Wang said in an interview.

Joking aside, as reported by the Catholic News Agency,“Textbook publisher Pearson Canada has dropped the Ontario Catholic education curriculum “Fully Alive” from its offerings after LGBT advocates claimed the Catholic content is “homophobic.”gency,'”GO CANADIANS! @ICEontario: Parents “rightly expect that the presentation of a family life curriculum will reflect a Catholic view of human life, sexuality, marriage, & family.” Me: My Ss’ human rights come 1st. These Gr 7-8 Fully Alive textbooks remain in a box. @TorontoCPIC @oapcetoronto pic.twitter.com/ssw2G72Q9l — The Rainbow Room (@pdbclassroom) January 12, 2023The Fully Alive curriculum depicts the world through a very narrow very straight very Catholic lens. Thanks to @HashtagKyle, it seems that’s where it will finally go 🙌🏾 Not only have Pearson Canada + @TCDSB taught a homophobic, transphobic, misogynist text, but it’s also factually incorrect.

No Russian and no Russians: Ukraine invasion has supercharged Latvian nationalism - NPRIGA, Latvia — I meet Nils Muiznieks, a former Latvian cabinet minister and Amnesty international’s European director, in a warm and cozy café at the edge of Riga’s Old Town. It’s packed with students chatting joyfully in a mixture of English, French and Latvian. I pay in Euros, a gesture that reminds me that we are very much in the comfort zone of the Europe Union. But not for me who set foot in Latvia for the first time since the Soviet collapse. Their government is providing all it can in terms of arms and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
