Why I Would Choose a Steam Deck Over a Nintendo Switch 2

We may earn a commission from links on this page. After spending about a week with the Nintendo Switch 2, I have to admit that it’s a good console. It’s priced fairly for its sleek form factor and the performance it offers, and it sets Nintendo up to stay relevant while gaming graphics only continue to get more complex. And yet, for my own personal tastes, it’s still not my handheld of choice. Instead, I’ll be sticking to Valve’s Steam Deck, the first and still overall best handheld gaming PC, at least going by value for money. And if you don’t necessarily care about Nintendo’s exclusive games, there’s a good chance it might be the better option for you, too.The Steam Deck is cheaper than the Switch 2Out of the gate, the most obvious reason to get a Steam Deck over a ...

Alberta to begin charging residents a fee to get the COVID-19 vaccine

Albertans who want to continue to protect themselves from the COVID-19 virus will have to pay out of pocket for it, the province announced late Friday afternoon. Since December 2020, the federal government had been looking after procuring and buying the vaccines, which the Public Health Agency of Canada said was unique to the COVID-19 pandemic compared to other routine immunization programs — which are paid for by provinces and territories.This year, the COVID-19 vaccine procurement process shifted from a federal role to provincial and territorial procurement process  ahead of the fall 2025 respiratory virus season, to align it with other how other immunizations are delivered for diseases that are endemic around the world, such as the flu.As a result of the federal change, the Alberta gove...

Breathing patterns unique like fingerprints; may offer insights on health: Study

The way one breathes could possibly serve as their "nasal fingerprints", researchers said after their study could identify individuals based solely on their breathing patterns with a nearly 97 per cent accuracy. "You would think that breathing has been measured and analysed in every way. Yet we stumbled upon a completely new way to look at respiration. We consider this as a brain readout," said author Noam Sobel of Israel`s Weizmann Institute of Science. The findings of the study, published in the journal Current Biology, also showed that one`s "respiratory fingerprints" correlated with their body mass index, sleep-wake cycle, levels of depression and anxiety, and even behavioral traits. Therefore, breathing patterns could offer a window into their physical and mental health, the author...

Cancer group warns Carney bill could weaken health standards. Why? – National

By Kyle Duggan The Canadian Press Posted June 13, 2025 3:53 pm 1 min read Descrease article font size Increase article font size The Canadian Cancer Society is warning the Carney government that its legislation to eliminate interprovincial trade barriers could undermine health standards unless it’s amended to add new safeguards. The legislation, which the government will try to push quickly through the House of Commons next week, looks to do two things — break down interprovincial barriers to trade and labour mobility and speed up approvals for major projects.The bill would allow provincial standards to displace federal ones t...

Canada warns further Israel, Iran conflict could have ‘devastating’ results – National

Canada is urging de-escalation after Israel launched strikes against Iran on Thursday evening, with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand calling on all parties to “refrain from actions that further destabilize the region.” “Further action risks triggering a broader regional conflict with devastating consequences,” Anand wrote on X on Friday morning.In her post, she said Canada is closely following what is unfolding and that they remain “deeply concerned” about the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program.That rapidly advancing nuclear program appeared to cause tensions to boil over leading to Israel’s strikes, which began on Thursday evening (early Friday morning local time), with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning of “severe consequences.”According t...

Blood transfusion key for effective healthcare, emergency response: WHO

Blood transfusion is the cornerstone of effective healthcare and emergency responses, said Saima Wazed, Regional Director for WHO South-East Asia on Friday, ahead of the World Blood Donor Day. World Blood Donor Day is marked annually on June 14. This year the theme is “Give blood, give hope: together we save lives.” The day honours the silent heroes among us -- voluntary, unpaid blood donors -- whose simple yet powerful act of donating their blood saves countless lives each day. Wazed noted that to build resilient national health systems it is essential to have the critical and continuous need for safe blood and blood products. Yet many people, especially in low- and middle-income countries, do not have access to safe and timely transfusion services. “Blood transfusion is a cornerston...

Get Rid of Mosquitoes With These Two Methods (That Actually Work)

We may earn a commission from links on this page. We hate mosquitoes, and so companies make a lot of anti-mosquito things: candles, wristbands, chemical and herbal sprays—even electronic devices. But if you want to keep mosquitoes off your bare skin this summer, you really just need two things: bug spray and a fan. The many alternatives either don’t work, or aren’t worth your time. Citronella candles aren’t significantly more effective than regular candles, which, as you might guess, don’t do much to ward off mosquitoes. Those light-up bug zappers aren’t helpful, because mosquitoes don’t care about light. Wristbands only keep mosquitoes off your wrists, so unless you’re weaving them into a full-body jumpsuit, they aren’t much help. You get the idea. I've explored thes...

Harvey Weinstein case judge declares mistrial on remaining rape charge – National

The judge in Harvey Weinstein’s sex crimes case declared a mistrial on the remaining rape charge after the jury foreperson said he wouldn’t continue deliberating. Deliberations were ended Thursday, a day after the jury delivered a partial verdict in Weinstein’s sex crimes retrial, convicting the ex-studio boss of one of the top charges but acquitted him of another. Both of those charges concerned accusations of forcing oral sex on women in 2006. Those verdicts still stand.The jury got stuck on a third charge involving accusations from Jessica Mann. The hairstylist and actor testified for days — as she did in 2020 — about the rape she said she endured in a Manhattan hotel room and about why she continued to see and have consensual encounters with Weinstein afterward.Mann is ready to go to t...
