‘You work for us:’ Neil Young takes aim at Trump in Bruce Springsteen feud – National

Legendary Canadian musician Neil Young wants U.S. President Donald Trump to stop “worrying” about what Bruce Springsteen and other celebrities think of him. In a post on his website on Tuesday, Young told Trump he should focus on “saving America from the mess you made” instead of feuding with celebrities that have criticized him, like his recent feud with Springsteen.“What are you worryin’ about man?” Young wrote in the post. “Bruce and thousands of musicians think you are ruining America. You worry about that instead of the dyin’ kids in Gaza. That’s your problem.”He continued: “I am not scared of you. Neither are the rest of us. You shut down FEMA when we needed it most. That’s your problem Trump. STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING.” Story continues below advertisement ...

Ontario could have half-a-trillion dollar deficit by 2027. It would set a record

Ontario taxpayers will be on the hook for more than half a trillion dollars in debt by 2027, according to the Ford government’s latest provincial budget, raising questions about how the province plans to address the ballooning financial burden. Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy’s 2025-26 fiscal blueprint laid out the province’s medium-term projections, which showed Ontario’s net debt is expected to reach $501.7 billion in just two years.The record-setting amount, if fully realized, also means the Ford government would be responsible for adding nearly $150 billion in debt since taking office in 2018, leading to criticism from fiscal hawks and the opposition alike.“So much for fiscal prudence,” said Nicolas Gagnon with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, who said the Ford government’s polic...

Psoriasis patients may be at risk of obesity, fatty liver disease: Study

While patients with psoriasis -- a chronic skin condition -- respond well to treatment with biologics, inflammation can linger, leading to broader health implications such as obesity and cardiovascular and fatty liver disease, according to a study. Psoriasis, with its systemic inflammatory nature, high risk of cardiovascular disease, and frequent use of biologic drugs, could provide a valuable framework for studying residual inflammation. The study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, could lead to more targeted and effective treatments that address the systemic aspects of psoriasis, beyond just the skin. "Despite excellent control of skin disease, a substantial percentage of psoriasis patients demonstrate residual systemic inflammation," said Joel M. Gelfand, Departm...
