Key Takeaways Health care facilities’ ability to provide patient care can be threatened by large-scale telecommunication outages, requiring providers to build additional redundancy into their own infrastructure. In the months and years following major outages, health care institutions have taken steps to mitigate the threat of service disruption to patient care. Many of these users were health care providers and organizations, as well as patients trying to access health care. For complex critical systems, like health care, that rely on telecoms [ ], interconnectivity facilitates seamless and efficient data sharing across a network of health system partners. For health care organizations, using third-party services carries an inherent risk: tech disruptions that can’t be addressed in-house.

OTTAWA — A group of comfortable retirees are calling on Ottawa to shrink their Old Age Security (OAS) payments, saying they don’t need the money and it would be better spent on other priorities. “It makes no sense to me that I receive Old Age Security,” said Harry Grossmith, one of 11 retirees featured in a new video produced by advocacy group Generation Squeeze. “I’m not poor, I’m not struggling and yet I receive a bonus every month just for simply being a senior.”“We don’t need and don’t want OAS any longer,” added fellow retiree Victor Grosstern. OAS is currently Canada’s costliest federal program, eating up roughly one in every six dollars of federal spending. Kershaw noted that the government tabled a $78-billion deficit, its largest ever outside the COVID pandemic in November’s federal budget.

OTTAWA — Members of Parliament and human rights activists are demanding Canada do more to put pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran, including sanctioning its supreme leader and increasing criminal investigations into perpetrators of the regime. “We need to name and shame the perpetrators,” said Brandon Silver, director of policy and projects at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. In 2024, the Canadian government listed the IRGC as a terrorist group under Canada’s Criminal Code. The Canadian government has sanctioned 210 Iranian individuals and 254 Iranian entities, with Canada severing diplomatic ties with Iran back in 2012. Iran’s supreme leader has warned of wider conflict if the U.S. decides to strike.

Passengers who are filing air travel complaints, for issues such as flight delays or lost baggage, may be waiting nearly three years for a resolution, according to a new study. The study calculated the wait time from a passenger’s flight date to the date a complaint decision was made. According to the CTA, passengers must file a complaint to an airline in writing first. Flight and tarmac delays, cancellations, and denials of boarding fit under the category of flight disruptions. Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement Advertisement“As delays continue to plague the CTA, more Canadians are turning to the provincial courts to resolve air passenger complaints,” Courtready said.

Each quarter, millions of Canadians receive a GST rebate — which the Carney government has renamed the Canada Groceries and Essentials Benefit — to offset how much they pay in federal sales taxes. In 2022, for example, the Trudeau government sought to alleviate the effects of inflation by doubling the GST payment for six months. These are not individuals in genuine need, even if their income level makes them eligible for the GST payment. The Carney government’s proposed increase to the GST payment will cost approximately $3 billion this year and around $1 billion annually in subsequent years, yet it does nothing to correct this targeting problem. The Carney government’s affordability package still requires approval from Parliament.

“Lloyd Williams has nine children in total: two stepchildren and seven biological,” Chamberlain wrote in a recent decision. “The youngest is just 10 months old.” One is 22 months old, and another is three, said the judge. Lloyd Williams is not trafficking small amounts of cocaine simply to feed his addiction.”The judge did not consider Williams’ addiction a mitigating factor. The judge accepted that some of Williams’ “children are infants or toddlers, and that any assistance must benefit the mother who cares for them. They demand a proportionate response.”The judge recognized “that his further incarceration will have a negative impact” on Williams’ family.

February 2, 2026 | Vincent Rigby joins Weekends with Ben O'Hara-Byrne to discuss Canada's decision to move forward with a presence in Greenland. Rigby argues this is an overdue step that reflects solidarity with Greenlanders and aligns with Canada's Arctic priorities. While questions have been raised about the timing and whether the decision is provocative, Rigby argues that Canada must strike a careful balance between continuing to work with the United States and standing on its own. Rigby also downplayed concerns about opening a consular presence in Greenland, noting that such moves are consistent with Canada's existing close relationship with Greenland and its national strategy. Listen to the podcast.

People in the Blue Zones have among the world’s highest proportions of centenarians (people who live to 100 or more years). The lessons from the Blue Zones should be of particular interest to anyone concerned about ill health in Malaysians. Although some have attributed the longevity of the Blue Zones residents to genetics, there has been little evidence in support. While this may be so, there is no reason why we cannot learn from the Blue Zones. Everyone can make a start for a longer HALE by embracing something old from the Blue Zones.
