Charlottetown, PE – Today Matt MacFarlane, Third Party critic for Health, called on the King government to better protect Island seniors from exorbitant and unpredictable long-term care rate increases. On July 1st, for the second time in less than a year, the King government is increasing the amount it charges Islanders who live in government-run long-term care homes who pay out of pocket. Those seniors’ rent has increased by 24% so far this year, which amounts to up to $1,000/month for some seniors.

Over $10 million in federal housing money is promised to Charlottetown. What is the city using it for?

COLUMBUS — Kris Knoblauch thought long and hard about how he would employ his latest two additions. Would Adam Henrique debut at centre or on the wing? How to best utilize Sam Carrick?

Back home, folks fussed and fought over the lines. Is Henrique better at centre than wing? Do you break up Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, after five straight wins?

Then they dropped the puck in Columbus, and the Edmonton Oilers played as bad a 20 minutes as we’ve seen in weeks, falling behind 3-0.

And the grand plan? It went the way of that obnoxious cannon they employ here at Nationwide Arena.

COLUMBUS -- Connor McDavid had an assist, his 100th point of the season, to extend his point and assist streaks to 13 games, but the Edmonton Oilers lost 4-2 to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena on Thursday.

McDavid, who has 29 points (two goals, 27 assists) during the streaks, became the third player in NHL history to have at least seven 100-point seasons before the age of 28, joining Wayne Gretzky (10) and Mario Lemieux (eight).

Zach Hyman and Corey Perry scored, and Calvin Pickard made 30 saves for the Oilers (38-21-2), who had won five straight.

Edmonton trailed 3-0 after the first period.

“I think we weren’t ready to play,” Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said. “Our puck management, maybe our decision-making, and our execution weren’t there.”

Avalanche Canada is extending a special avalanche warning through to Sunday, March 10.

This warning, which was issued Feb. 29, applies to Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay national parks and Kananaskis Country.

Avalanche Canada says weak layers established early last month are now buried anywhere from 40 to 100 centimetres deep and an avalanche could be triggered easily.

With clear skies and warmer temperatures expected over the next week, experts are urging caution.

That has contributed to a “skills mismatch within the Alberta economy,” resulting in labour shortages in a handful of industries, said Mike Holden, chief economist with the Business Council of Alberta.

“Alberta has specific labour shortages and unmet demand in areas like the trades, as well as health care — especially in nursing and some other zones,” Holden said in an interview.

When he tabled the government’s 2024-25 budget last week, Finance Minister Nate Horner said projects such as Dow Inc.’s $9-billion petrochemicals project in Fort Saskatchewan “have the potential to completely drain the province of certain types of skilled labour.”

The so-called kamikaze leadership campaign of Jeff Callaway came under the Mounties’ microscope after allegations he entered the race only to attack fellow candidate Brian Jean and pull out to endorse Kenney. The Callaway campaign collected about $95,000 in donations, something RCMP said prompted it to look into potential criminal fraud.

While Callaway was fined $70,000 for irregular contributions in the race by the elections commissioner, RCMP said they did not uncover evidence to charge anyone with fraud. A judge last year ordered the Callaway’s fine be reconsidered, but he was only one of several people connected to the campaign who by 2019 saw more than $200,000 in collective fines related to election finance rules.

The party race was also tainted by accusations of voter identity fraud. Some registered members said they never cast a ballot, even though voting records showed ballots were cast under their names.

Alberta RCMP Supt. Rick Jané told reporters police looked at the UCP’s voter database of more than 60,000 voters, and after investigation, flagged fewer than 200 “suspicious” votes. However, while RCMP suspected potential instances of identity fraud, there wasn’t enough evidence to tie them to any suspects or lay charges.

The province is seeing changes to supplies that were previously provided for illicit drug use under the Government of Saskatchewan’s Action Plan for Mental Health and Addictions.

Pipes that could be used for smoking crack cocaine or methamphetamine will no longer be provided, and needles provided for individuals using intravenous drugs will now need to be exchanged on a one-to-one basis.

“We’ve seen needle exchanges drift away from operating on an exchange basis more towards a distribution model, and that was not an authorized shift,” said Tim McLeod, Minister for Mental Health and Addictions.

The Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference runs today and tomorrow at the Delta Hotels in Regina.

Grant McLellan, the chief executive officer for the Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association says this year's theme is What's Now, What's New, What's Next.

'It's a little bit of a reflection on the past couple of years that have been challenging for producers, but we also know that there's a lot of movement and innovation in the sector. So we really wanted to bring that kind of theme and concept to producers.'

He points out that when you look at the agenda, there are a lot of great speakers with presentations focusing on Foot and Mouth Disease, vaccine banks, precision forage management, reproductive efficiency of beef cows.

CHARLOTTETOWN — While construction continues on the University of Prince Edward Island’s new medical school, the leader of the opposition says Islanders deserve answers on how the school will affect an already strained health system.

The danger to locally-based not-for-profit nursing homes in New Brunswick remains real despite the fact that after 14 years and as many contracts to the Shannex Corporation, two recent nursing home contracts were awarded to others.

In the first of two NB Media Co-op articles published in 2021, I pointed out the alarming trend of the increase in for-profit corporate ownership in funded long-term care in New Brunswick. When two more contracts had been awarded to Shannex, the corporation which had been awarded all of the 12 nursing home contracts since 2008 in New Brunswick, I wondered in the second article: “Is the future of our not-for-profit nursing homes under threat?”

By Jaymie White Local Journalism Initiative Reporter CAPE RAY — Rosemary Gilliat Eaton, born in 1919 in Hove, England, was a renowned photojournalist whose photographs were published in some of the most influential journals of her time, including Maclean’s, Weekend Magazine, and the Hudson’s Bay Company magazine, The Beaver. She also worked on assignment for numerous government agencies such as the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources and the National Film Board of Canada’s Still Photography Division from 1941 to 1984. Even though she lived her early life in England, by the fall of 1952 she made the decision to immigrate to Canada by herself, settling in Ottawa, but traveling extensively across Canada, searching for assignments that would expose her to the diverse geography and cultures of her new home. In 1963, Gilliat married British hydrographer Michael Eaton, and less than two years later the couple moved to Nova Scotia to follow Eaton’s career. The couple purchased a property overlooking the salt marsh in Cole Harbour, and Gilliat fell in love with the wildlife in the area, documenting it with her camera, consulting environmentalists, and publishing her work in local journals. Gilliat also helped form a committee that successfully put a halt on government plans to build a sewage treatment plant in the area. It was this committee that eventually became the Cole Harbour Rural Heritage Society and formed the Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum which, among many other exhibits, houses Gilliat’s archive after 1965. The archive includes thousands of photographs and recordings of her many interviews with community members. Today, a popular walking trail through the Cole Harbour Salt Marsh contains a path called Rosemary’s Way, dedicated to Gilliat and the work she did to fight for the preservation of the area. The importance of Gilliat’s contributions is something the Cape Ray Museum stumbled upon after they received a donation of books containing a most unique find, a personal diary from Gilliat herself. “It was in a pile of books that was donated to the fire department for their annual flea market,” said Anne Osmond with the Cape Ray Museum. “We were putting out the books and we came across this one. So I said, ‘well that's cool’, and I just put it on the counter to wait for later on, because that'd be a good piece for the museum, where it was so old, written back in 1931. We agreed that it would be a great conversation piece for our local museum, and when I started to read it, I noticed the penmanship was second to none. Once we started reading, we couldn't put the book down. All the pictures and the penmanship in it are awesome, and her drawings, she even has drawings in the book. You've got to see the book to appreciate it.” “When Anne brought it to me, I immediately Googled her (Gilliat) and the information that came up was amazing. We never heard of her before. She was quite a famous Canadian. After research I found out she's from England, born in 1919 and emigrated to Canada in ‘52. Before that she went to boarding schools in Switzerland,” said Wayne Osmond, who is also with the museum. “She just went from boarding school to boarding school. She made friends, she kept a daily diary, and she got a small camera and she started taking pictures. She immigrated to Canada in '52, and then she started going on the road, started writing for newspapers like McLean's and Toronto Star. She worked for lots of companies and did pictures for the magazine The Beaver. We actually asked a few people, tourists into our museum, about her and they said one lady described her as one of the first hippies she met. She was a bit different. Nowadays she would be called an environmentalist.” Once they realized they had Gilliat's diary, the museum staff knew interest would pour in. “We took some pictures of it to see if anybody wanted it. It’s the type of thing that would fit into any museum in Canada,” said Wayne. “We’re trying to look for help and we want it displayed at our museum. We asked our MHA (Andrew Parsons) for some advice and some other departments, but we're kind of scared that it could be seized from us. I don't think they can, but you never know.” The contents of the diary are more than just writings. “There is a lot of writing, but there’s photos of her in boarding schools, pictures and postcards, a daily diary basically. It’s over 100 pages and there’s actually a letter from her father written in there, ma

TORONTO — Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELBM) (“Electra” or the “Corporation”) today provided an update on the construction of its battery grade cobalt sulfate refinery, the only facility of its kind being built in North America designed to address the onshoring requirements of the electric vehicle battery supply chain.

About 25 years ago, long before the eco-friendly trend kicked off, Doug and Linda Wray decided to invest in making their ranch more sustainable. They converted 1,000 acres of cropland to perennial pastures where the cattle can graze year-round. This led to healthier soil and animals. Plus, regenerative farming practices ensure the Wrays give back to the land more than they take from it. The cows graze the land and in turn, they recycle nutrients for the environment, and provide a high-quality, nutrient-dense food. Thanks to the Wray family’s efforts, the ranch, which the Wray family started more than a century ago near Irricana, Alta., is thriving.

Encountering a wild animal, especially giant pythons, can be both jaw-dropping and spine-chilling. These serpents, known for their immense size and quick movements, can send shivers down anyone’s spine. While it is easier for them to grab anyone, a recent video that has been making waves on the internet features a python’s intense struggle to break free from a rope. In the clip, the snake seems to have eaten something heavy, which left it struggling to move freely or lift the body. The video was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter, which captures the moment when the python crosses a fence and becomes entangled in the rope.
