Yukon-based clinical social worker temporarily stripped of registration for supporting conspiracy theories – CBC
Yukon-based clinical social worker temporarily stripped of registration for supporting conspiracy theories – CBCNov 20, 2024Debbra Greig under investigation by British Columbia College of Social WorkersA Yukon-based clinical social worker has had her professional registration stripped — at least temporarily — for supporting conspiracy theories, but that’s not stopping her from offering services. The British Columbia College of Social Workers says Debbra Greig’s views could be detrimental to her clients and there is a real risk of harm. Greig believes in cult leader Romana Didulo, the self-professed “Queen of Canada” known for her QAnon beliefs. Since the Yukon has no government regulations or oversight for social workers, Greig sought registration with the B.C. Similar registration is mandatory in order to practise in the majority of the country.

N.B. investigation into mystery brain illness to begin within months, says Susan Holt – CBC
investigation into mystery brain illness to begin within months, says Susan Holt – CBCPatients and Moncton neurologist hopeful premier will see her election promise throughNov 19, 2024Premier Susan Holt says her government will launch a transparent scientific investigation by early next year, with help from the federal government, into the mystery brain illness a Moncton neurologist claims is now affecting hundreds of New Brunswickers and people from six other provinces. Whether the illness is new or not has been a long-standing debate between Dr. Alier Marrero and New Brunswick’s Public Health department. Holt said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has confirmed the $5 million previously offered to the province to study the neurodegenerative illness, which causes symptoms ranging from painful muscle spasms to memory loss and behavioural changes, is “still on the table,” along with the support of the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Service Canada holding 85,000 passports as Canada Post strike continues
Service Canada has been holding off on mailing out 85,000 passports due to the labour dispute at Canada Post. Employment and Social Development Canada said that in anticipation of a potential labour disruption, Service Canada stopped mailing passport packages on Nov. 8 — a week before Canada Post workers walked off the job. By holding residential mail several days in advance of a work stoppage, Service Canada has reduced the risk of having any passports held in Canada Post distribution centres, Roy said. If a client mailed their passport application just before the start of the strike, Service Canada might not have received the application, Roy said. In these cases, Service Canada will not be able to process the application until mail service resumes, she said.

Biden And Trudeau Miss Photo At G20 Summit
Biden And Trudeau Miss Photo At G20 Summit Logistical issues lead to missed opportunity for iconic leader photo at important international gatheringAt the recent G20 Summit held in picturesque Rio de Janeiro, U.S. President Joe Biden and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau found themselves at the center of an unusual photo mishap. Such timing conflicts can happen at high-stakes international gatherings, but the absence of Biden and Trudeau was noticeably conspicuous. The timing of events at the G20 summit often needs more than just careful planning; it requires precise coordination. Despite the hiccup, Trudeau and Biden, known for their close relationship, embodied the essence of collaboration as they navigated the summit’s agenda. Even with the awkwardness over the missed photo op, the G20 Summit continued with sessions on climate change, economic recovery, and global health, underscoring the event's significance beyond mere photo opportunities.
