How to Turn On Apple’s New ‘Wrist Flick’ Gesture in watchOS 26

In 2023, Apple introduced the Double Tap feature for Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2. This allows a user to perform common actions, like answering or starting a song, simply by quickly tapping their thumb and index finger together twice. It was an intuitive way to confirm when you wanted to do something on your watch without tapping a tiny touchscreen button, but what if you wanted to dismiss something? Now, with the release of watchOS 26, Wrist Flick is here to solve that problem.Also available on Apple Watch Series 9 (and higher) as well as Apple Watch Ultra 2 (and higher), Wrist Flick is kind of like Double Tap’s evil twin. If you get a notification you don’t like, or a call you want to mute, now you can quickly twist your wrist to dismiss it, like you’re tossing it into a garbage bin....

Tobacco smoking most critical factor linked with stunting in children: WHO

Tobacco use is not only related to cancers and tuberculosis but plays a significant role in child stunting, a condition that affects nearly 150 million children worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).  Of the approximately 148 million stunted children in the world in 2022, 52 per cent lived in Asia and 43 per cent in Africa. Stunting is also associated with increased morbidity and mortality in children. In a recently published document, the WHO highlights the harmful role of tobacco use in child stunting. The publication is the 11th in a series of tobacco knowledge summaries and recaps the current evidence on the topic. It is intended for health professionals, policymakers, and public health advocates. In the document, WHO calls on governments to strengthen tobacco...

Jason Kenney warns of ‘deeply divisive’ impact of a sovereignty referendum in Alberta

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney doesn’t mince words when asked about possible Alberta separation. He says it’s a historically discredited concept driven by a pocket of malcontents and guaranteed to shred the social fabric of the province it purports to champion.“It’s bananas if we allow a tiny, perennially angry minority to drag the whole province through a deeply divisive debate,” Kenney said in a recent interview in a boardroom at Calgary’s Bankers Hall, where he’s a senior adviser to a law firm and works with corporate boards.“(It would be) a referendum that would divide families, divide communities, divide friends for no useful purpose.“If this gets to a ballot, there will be marriages that will break up over it. There will be wives and husbands who just can’t tolerate each other o...

Canadiens’ Hutson says he’s a ‘USA Hockey player’ after dad’s comments spark stir

Lane Hutson isn’t switching sides, no matter what his dad says. The Montreal Canadiens defenceman made it clear Monday he’s committed to USA Hockey, brushing off the chatter his father stirred about a possible future with Canada.“I’m proud to be American and love USA Hockey, they’ve done so much for me,” Hutson said at the Canadiens’ season-opening golf tournament. “I love playing in Canada and I’m very fortunate, but I’m a USA Hockey player and that’s how it is.”A viral clip spread around social media earlier this month when, after Lane was left off USA Hockey’s 44-player Olympic orientation camp roster, Rob Hutson noted his sons hold dual citizenship.“You never know what happens in the future, like my boys are also Canadian,” Rob Hutson said on the Recrutes Habscast podcast. “There is an...

Carney says U.S. ‘relationship is good,’ texts ‘modern man’ Trump often – National

Prime Minister Mark Carney on Monday said “the relationship is good” with the United States and that he is in regular contact with U.S. President Donald Trump, despite an ongoing trade war and no deal in sight to resolve it. Carney made the comments during the first question period of the new fall session of Parliament, where he faced questions from Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet on the status of negotiations with Washington.“Can he state today that he is confident that he can re-establish our privileged relationship of trust between Canada and the U.S. administration quickly, as the best way to put our trade relationship back on the right track?” Blanchet asked.“Mr. Speaker, the Canada-U.S. relationship is good,” Carney replied in French.“Yes, we are experiencing difficultie...

Canada has a “deficit issue that needs to be dealt with,” government House leader Steven MacKinnon says as Parliament resumes after summer break. He told reporters Monday that there are some key issues that likely will be addressed as Prime Minister Mark Carney prepares to release his federal budget this fall.“We have a deficit issue that has to be dealt with. Mr. Carney has made it very, very clear that all ministers and all departments must participate in making the government more efficient,” MacKinnon said, while being asked by reporters what the deficit in the upcoming budget could look like.“I don’t want to characterize the deficit other than what I’ve already said — it is substantial and needs to be dealt with and is being dealt with, and with incredible seriousness by the entire go...
