Sailors in Newfoundland and Labrador may say that winter isn't the best time to be on the water. But for two avid sailors from Manitoba, it's the perfect opportunity to try something new. Judith Graile and Wes Hyde drove from Manitoba to Lewisporte, living in a school bus while they refurbished their environmentally friendly sailboat, the Hakluyt. The couple have swapped out the boat's diesel motors for electric motors, and have equipped the boat with wind generators and an eco-friendly woodstove.

499 from a New Year’s Eve win in Denver that came this close to capturing the essence of the Maple Leafs — the team they aspire to be. But Matthews didn’t take the shot right away, instead drifting backward a couple of feet, never taking his eyes off netminder Alexandar Georgiev. Forcing Georgiev, as Matthews explained it later, to “make a play he’s not comfortable with.”Hockey wits, you know? What the naked eye tells us right now is that the Leafs are a very good team and, barring significant injuries, will be an even better team at the cusp of playoff spring. A long, long hockey odyssey, with unpredictable ebbs and flows.

"I think with what's going on in the world with fuel prices … it's a really good, safe, green and economical option for travel." He says it's establishing its cross border service from Windsor to Detroit, which is expected to launch early 2023. He hopes Flixbus's success in Ontario will serve as a "blueprint" model for operations in other provinces, particularly as other bus companies look to break through the Ontario market.

The last thing those parents or our nurses care about are scoring political points. To stop nurses from quitting, going part-time or retiring early — and ensure safe patient care — nurses’ working conditions must be improved. Nurses are also recommending the federal government establish a collaborative health workforce council of provincial and territorial health ministries. This council would be mandated to improve local and regional health workforce planning and capacity building, so we do not repeat staffing fluctuations endlessly. This is a big challenge, but together we can improve health care for nurses and patients alike.

Experts question Ottawa’s negative COVID-19 test for air travellers from ChinaCanada's requirement of a negative COVID-19 test of travellers from China will not help in preventing new variants or the spread of the virus, say experts. The federal government said Saturday that people coming from China, Hong Kong and Macao will have to test negative for COVID-19 before leaving for Canada. Bogoch said it would have helped if China had been transparent with their COVID-19 data, variants, vaccines and spread. "But let's not pretend that requiring travellers from China to have a negative PCR test before coming to Canada will have any impact on the Canadian experience with COVID-19," he said. While not a popular view, Furness said it would be much more effective if all governments required negative COVID-19 tests and vaccinations on all flights.
