Canadian officials say US health institutions no longer dependable for accurate information Misinformation from the Trump administration is cited as fuelling Canadians’ concerns over childhood vaccinations

On the theme of international press coverage of US public health, here’s Canada’s take. They’re not wrong.

Gender-based violence is an everyday reality, and it starts with minimizing misogyny As we highlight 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and the upcoming anniversary of the Montreal massacre, can we take a moment to reflect on all the different forms this violence takes?

“As a society, we continue to deny the straight line between the minimization of everyday violence against women and the more horrific forms of misogyny that eventually materialize. The groundwork for gender-based violence is laid out daily in a world that allows misogyny to be normalized.”

Never forget Polytechnique The Polytechnique massacre on Dec. 6, 1989 was a mass femicide that left an indelible imprint on all Montrealers.

“We must fight like hell to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Quebec doctors on CAQ tactics: "The government is diminishing access to healthcare services" We spoke to doctors about deteriorating conditions of their practice in Quebec and how the CAQ is actively reducing access to healthcare.
