LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say measles immunization has dropped significantly since the coronavirus pandemic began, resulting in a record high of nearly 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year. In a report issued Wednesday, the WHO and the CDC said millions of children were now susceptible to measles, among the world’s most contagious diseases. In 2021, officials said there were about 9 million measles infections and 128,000 deaths worldwide. More than 95% of measles deaths occur in developing countries, mostly in Africa and Asia. There is no specific treatment for measles, but the two-dose vaccine against it is about 97% effective in preventing severe illness and death.

The personal information of approximately 40,000 people connected to Saskatchewan's Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) was compromised during a 2021 Christmas Day cybersecurity attack, according to the province's information and privacy commissioner's report on the incident. "The number of affected individuals could have been much smaller had SLGA not retained personal information indefinitely," Ronald Kruzeniski, Saskatchewan's information and privacy commissioner, wrote. The commissioner recommended in his report that SLGA should implement policies and procedures to ensure it isn't holding personal information of former employees and former clients unnecessarily. SLGA warned that some health,financial, criminal and personal information may have fallen into the wrong hands. The privacy breach affected regulatory clients who had not been in contact with the SLGA in the past five years.

Trudeau elaborates on what Chinese ‘interference’ he discussed with Xi Jinping at G20OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered his most detailed explanation yet on Wednesday about what kind of "interference" he brought up with Chinese President Xi Jinping in a meeting earlier this month. At the recent G20 summit in Indonesia, the Prime Minister's Office told reporters that Trudeau raised serious concerns with Xi about Chinese "interference" in Canada, but offered no specifics. In a rare unplanned exchange caught by cameras, Xi later confronted Trudeau about the fact that details had been shared with the media. In his first question period since returning from a 10-day trip that included four international summits, Trudeau was also pressed on whether he knew about alleged Chinese interference in the 2019 federal election. "Does he know all the details of Chinese interference and he's hiding it from us, or did he confront Xi Jinping based only on a news article?"

Farmers Forum staffOTTAWA — A new study, commissioned by a coalition of farming organizations, evaluated the risk management program (RMP) and self-directed risk management program (SDRM) and found that almost all farmers say the programs are vital for their operations. The Oct. 31 study, commissioned by the Ontario Agriculture Sustainability Coalition (OASC), found that every dollar spent on Ontario’s Risk Management program and Self-Directed Risk Management Programs leads to a $2.01 to $3.60 return on investment. The study found that farmers view the program as a particularly important risk management tool for young and beginning farmers. OASC is composed of the Beef Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Pork, Ontario Sheep Farmers, and the Veal Farmers of Ontario. The coalition was formed in 2009 to develop and implement the Risk Management Program (RMP) in Ontario at the request of the Government of Ontario.

We encourage insurance brokers and agents to share this article with their clients to help them decide if business travel insurance is a worthwhile investment. Business travel insurance – sometimes referred to as corporate travel policies – works just like personal travel coverage, protecting the policyholder from certain financial risks and losses they may encounter during their trips. For businesses that require frequent travels, purchasing a multi-trip travel insurance policy, also called annual travel insurance, may be more cost-effective. Depending on these factors, business travel insurance premiums may cost about 6% of the total travel costs. Purchase travel insurance as early as possible : Buying travel insurance immediately after booking the trip gives business travelers longer coverage.

Hence, mandated ESG disclosures will improve the efficiency of Canada’s capital markets. ESG disclosures, mandated by government, therefore enable investors to do well by doing good. Of course, some argue that many investors will sacrifice financial returns to support highly-rated ESG companies. If this is true, mandated ESG disclosures should result in lower risk-adjusted returns for investors who follow an ESG-themed investment strategy. In either case, if Canada soon mandates ESG disclosures, it will impose economic costs on Canadian companies that will likely outweigh any economic benefits.

Canada had a new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on this date in 1918 with the appointment, by Sir Robert Borden, of PEI’s Sir Louis Henry Davies to the position. He had sat on Canada’s highest court since 1901 when he was appointed a Puisne Justice Court by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, in 1845, Davies, a Liberal, went on to enjoy great political success in the province’s earliest days. Davies became PEI’s third Premier, holding that office from 1876 to 1879. PEI voters then sent their former Premier to Ottawa as MP and Davies served in the House from 1882 until his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1901.
