Supreme Court rules Quebec asylum seekers eligible for subsidized daycare
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled Quebec cannot bar asylum seekers from subsidized daycare. This also has a cost on the province, the Supreme Court argues, as it forces many to rely on social assistance instead. The Supreme Court ruling goes even further than a previous Quebec Court of Appeal decision that had suggested Quebec should grant access to all asylum seekers with a work permit. WATCH | SCOC says all asylum seekers who are parents should have access to these daycares: Quebec asylum seekers eligible for subsidized daycare, Supreme Court rules | Duration 2:05 In an 8-1 ruling, Canada’s top court rejected the province's appeal of a lower court's decision.

Sisters of St. Martha to end sponsorship of Antigonish hospital
St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish, N.S., was founded by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Martha in 1906. "When the current agreement concludes, the services and policies at St. Martha's will more closely align with all other hospitals across Nova Scotia," the Department of Health and Wellness said in a news release Friday. St. Martha's is a publicly funded health-care facility, but because of its religious connections it did not permit procedures like abortion or medically assisted dying. The province said the Sisters built a legacy that "shaped healthcare in Antigonish, surrounding community and across the province." The province said the Sisters' 120 years of service and stewardship " have had an immeasurable impact on healthcare and are deeply rooted and felt throughout the community. "

Trade for Bobby McMann addresses need but creates new questions for Kraken
Just when you thought the Seattle Kraken were standing pat at the NHL Trade Deadline, they swung an 11th-hour deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs for Bobby McMann, sending a fourth-round pick in 2026 and a second-round pick in 2027 the other way. He solidified himself as a full-time NHL player last season, scoring 20 goals and 14 assists in 74 games. This season, McMann has posted an impressive 19 goals and 13 assists in 60 games while averaging north of 15 minutes per night for Toronto, often in a top-six role. There’s no doubt McMann improves the current Kraken roster, at least on paper. But his addition also raises new questions while only marginally addressing the team’s need for more scoring.

Google tipped off authorities to illicit images in Canadian doctor’s account, search warrants say
In an unproven affidavit filed in court to obtain a search warrant, Toronto police say the U.S. tech giant flagged 11 images of suspected child sexual abuse material uploaded last August to a Google Drive account in Poon's name. As CBC News first reported last week (new window), Poon was charged by Toronto police in November with two counts of accessing and possessing child sexual abuse and exploitation material. Detectives laid 41 more charges in December including making and possessing child pornography, sexual assault, voyeurism for a sexual purpose and drugging someone to facilitate sexual assault. Neither the criminal charges nor allegations in a police application for search warrants, obtained by CBC News, have been proven in court. The software then compares each hash to the ones of known illicit images and flags matches and strong similarities.

Alberta's flu season deadliest in recent memory as experts call for action | CBC News | Alberta Politics
TLDRAlberta's flu season has been the deadliest in recent memory, with 250 deaths reported so far, according to CBC News. This alarming increase has prompted health experts to call for urgent action. The province's respiratory virus dashboard indicates that this season's flu, primarily driven by the H3N2 strain, has caused significant strain on the healthcare system and families. Experts attribute the severity to a complex mix of factors, including low immunization rates, vaccine mismatch, and changes in flu patterns since the COVID-19 pandemic. The province has launched a campaign to promote flu vaccinations, but uptake remains low, with only 20.1% of Albertans vaccinated so far this season.
