The Alberta government has officially handed back more than $137 million to the federal government after running out of time to spend the cash to clean up old oil and natural gas wells.

Questions remain about why the provincial government was unable to use the much-needed funding, considering there are tens of thousands of inactive wells.

Many companies are also disappointed that the full amount wasn't spent because of the loss of reclamation work it would have created.

The death toll from massive flooding in Myanmar in the wake of Typhoon Yagi has doubled to 226, as the UN warned as many as 630,000 people could be in need of help.

Yagi swept across northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar more than a week ago with powerful winds and an enormous amount of rain, triggering floods and landslides that have killed more than 500 people, according to official figures.

Ontario is proposing to further expand pharmacists' scope of practice by adding to the list of minor ailments they can assess, allowing them to administer more vaccines and order some lab tests.

'Pharmacists are not doctors,' OMA says But doctors are pushing back on the scope expansions.

"The bottom line here is that pharmacists are not doctors," said Dr. Dominik Nowak, president of the Ontario Medical Association. "Doctors are trained for years and thousands of hours to diagnose and treat conditions."

This I believe is an intended effect of Chinese government's shift away from depending on housing investment as primary factor in driving growth - to bring home affordability back as home ownership has become a deterrent to marriages and child-rearing, both in severe decline and the biggest long term strategic threat to China.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was asked about Tagovailoa during his post-game interview. “If you know Tua outside of football, like I do and you do, you can’t help but feel for him," he said. "He's a great football player, but he's an even greater human being. He's one of the best humans on the planet. I got a lot of love for him.

The laws were passed under conservatives weren't they? Tells you all there's you need to know. All they care about are the rich and corporations which are owned by the rich.

We've needed a better industrial policy/strategy for quite sometime now, way before Trudeau happened. We have been falling behind in productivity, in investment in research and IP, all leading indicators of creation of wealth and prosperity for decades. We just can't rely on oil and natural resource booms to keep us afloat economically. None of the prior administrations have brought that, and Trudeau's hasn't got that vision. Neither does PP quite frankly. He hasn't said jack that talks to how we're going to be more competitive, nor does he have the brains for it.

we’re almost at the back of the pack of ~40 countries in terms of disability services

This is what has fallen behind since Liberals steered towards the center a few decades ago. It's sad really.
