Internal PMO polls show huge support for major hydro, road, port projects – National

As the Carney government prepares to release its list of major projects it is prepared to fast-track to completion, new internal government polling done earlier this summer under the supervision of the prime minister’s office shows that Canadians overwhelmingly support projects that build up hydroelectric generation and transmission, highway system upgrades, and improved port infrastructure. A majority of Canadians also support new oil pipelines, building liquefied natural gas terminals and installing offshore wind turbines — though there are some significant regional variations when it comes to support for those kinds of projects, according to those internal polls, copies of which were obtained by Global News through access-to-information requests.Since last spring’s election, Prime Minis...

Are medu vadas healthy? Mumbai dietitians reveal many things you didn’t know

Mumbaikars love their street food and the beauty of the city being a melting pot of cultures automatically means there is every kind of street food. From the local vada pav to the samosa, along with jalebis and even dabeli pav, but not without its south Indian delicacies. With a rich history of South Indian food in the city, medu vadas have become a preferred breakfast or snack item that often turns into a meal too for many people in the city.  The Union Health Ministry highlighted the need for people to pay attention to their health and nutrition in street foods like samosas and jalebis some time ago, but many people did not like it. While the access to these snacks is one reason, their love for them is another, but ask Mumbai dietitians about their health quotient, and there’s more to s...

Ford government won’t order LCBO to remove Crown Royal from shelves — for now

The Ontario government says it hasn’t made any decisions about removing Crown Royal from the shelves of the province’s liquor stores, despite a dramatic display of dissatisfaction from Premier Doug Ford. On Tuesday, Ford ended a news conference by pouring out a bottle of the Canadian whisky, after its parent company, Diageo, announced it would shutter a plant in Amherstburg, Ont.“They’re hurting the people that work at Crown Royal,” Ford said.“So, you know something? A message to the CEO in France: You hurt my people. I’m going to hurt you. You’re going to feel the pain in February when these people don’t have a paycheque.”As calls mounted for the premier to back his actions with concrete policy proposals, the Ford government said it wouldn’t be removing Crown Royal from the shelves of the...

First Nations leaders to meet in Winnipeg to talk major infrastructure projects

The countrywide push for major projects won’t happen without First Nations at the table, the Assembly of First Nations warned government and industry Wednesday, as its annual summer gathering began in Winnipeg. “We can all agree on this, that progress cannot come at the cost of our rights, our treaties or our responsibilities to the land,” Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs Grand Chief Kyra Wilson said.“Anything that we do in this country will not be at the expense of our lands, our waters and our resources. For generations, decisions have been made without us, while the impacts fall on our nations and our families.”The assembly is expected to focus heavily on the federal government’s major projects legislation, as it’s the first time all chiefs have gathered since the bill passed in June.The law...

Health experts warn working night shifts leading to infertility in men and women

In today’s fast-paced, round-the-clock work culture, night shifts have become routine for many individuals. While this may seem like a career necessity, it can also hurt fertility. Frequent night shifts can disturb hormonal balance, reduce sperm quality in men, and affect ovulation in women, making it harder to conceive naturally. Night shifts disturb the body`s circadian rhythm, the internal clock that regulates hormone production, metabolism, and sleep. Irregular sleep patterns can lead to a spike in stress hormones, insulin resistance, and imbalances in reproductive hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These disruptions not only increase the risk of obesity, heart disease, and mood disorders, but also are linked to growing infertility issues in both sexes. Dr Rita M...
