Alberta, Quebec referendums likely would fail due to Canadians’ anxiety: pollster

By Catherine Morrison The Canadian Press Posted December 31, 2025 2:14 pm 1 min read Descrease article font size Increase article font size A pollster says separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec are unlikely to succeed as long as Canadians feel a persistent sense of insecurity and anxiety about the future. David Coletto, whose polling firm Abacus Data has been studying what it calls the “precarity mindset” in Canada for the last year, says that uncertainty would need to ease in order for a “yes” vote to succeed in either province.

The Best Ways to Use C-Clamps Around the House

We may earn a commission from links on this page. If you’ve been doing any kind of work around any kind of house for a while, you probably have a few trusty old-school C-Clamps on hand. The C-Clamp has been in use for thousands of years. It’s one of those dead-simple tools that just works. It’s also one of those tools you tend to collect multiple examples of, in different sizes.Typically, you use a C-Clamp to, uh, clamp stuff together, like two pieces of wood, or to clamp something into place while you work on it (I use them a lot to cut lumber so I can have both hands on the saw, as I am allergic to emergency rooms.) But the C-Clamp is actually a very versatile tool that can be deployed in a number of creative—but useful!—ways. Here are some of my favorite ways to re...

Ipsos poll reveals the news Canadians watched and worried about in 2025 – National

High superbug load in Delhi environment posing public health risks: Study

High levels of antibiotic-resistant superbugs in both indoor and outdoor environments in Delhi are posing public health risks, according to a study.  Airborne microbial contamination, especially involving antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes, poses a growing public health concern in urban environments. The study, by researchers at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, explored the prevalence and diversity of staphylococci, including methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS), in bioaerosols from various urban settings in Delhi, India. Indoor and outdoor air samples showed significantly high staphylococcal loads far above the WHO’s recommended limit for microbial exposure. Seasonal variations revealed a peak in airborne MRS during winter, while monsoon rains reduced o...

Why You Should Give Yourself ‘Crappy’ Rewards for Your Fitness Goals

Rewarding yourself can backfire. If you tell yourself, “I’ll only listen to my favorite podcast while I’m at the gym,” it takes just one moment of weakness to realize you can cheat and listen to it any time you want. Instead, try this: Reward yourself with something that has no enjoyment value whatsoever. Like a checkmark on your calendar. I first heard this tip from writer Tim Clare’s podcast. If you want to stay motivated, he says, the reward has to be so crappy that you’re not actually working for the reward. He said that he puts a checkmark on his calendar every day he writes, and at the end of the week enough checkmarks earn a gold star. The same approach has worked for me and for others. I have to admit: Buying myself a pack of stickers is embarrassingly motivating. Why stickers work...

Karan Tacker calls it `most disturbing experience` on being a part of Bhay

When a project creates an impact, you’d expect everyone to be thrilled and eagerly waiting to dive right into another season. However, in a chat with mid-day, Karan Tacker — who has recently starred in Amazon MX Player’s Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery — admits he is actually terrified that the horror biopic, based on Abhirup Dhar’s book Ghost Hunter Gaurav Tiwari: The Life and Legacy of India’s Foremost Paranormal Investigator, might be renewed for another season. After laughing it off (but only slightly), he tells us why the show ranks among the bravest decisions of his career and his eerie brushes with the paranormal. Excerpts from the interview: Before the show, did you know about Tiwari?No, I actually didn’t. So when this show was offered to me, I did exactly what [anyone would] do ...

Even as most Indians are busy working hard during their adult years, they are thinking about their retirement, not only to enjoy a good time off work, but also to be financially prepared so that they don`t face any difficulty in the future.Retirement planning has been ranked as Indians’ first financial priority even as actual preparedness or a plan in place collapsed to 37 per cent from 67 per cent in 2023, a report said on October 29.  The report from PGIM India Mutual Fund said that retirement took the first spot, climbing from eighth place, as lifestyle and entrepreneurial goals overshadow family-centric concerns.
