Conservatives secure 2 more seats after tight federal election recounts

The Conservative Party of Canada came out victorious following federal election recounts in two ridings in Eastern Canada, both of which the Opposition won by only a handful of votes. After a recount process that took nearly two weeks, Elections Canada announced Friday that Conservative Jonathan Rowe had defeated Liberal Anthony Germain in the rural Newfoundland riding of Terra Nova—The Peninsulas by just 12 votes.The result reverses the first tally of the ballots after the April 28 election, which had Germain ahead by 12 votes.Rowe’s win gives the Conservatives 144 seats in the House of Commons, and brings the Liberals down to 169, which is three seats shy of the threshold for a majority government. The Bloc Quebecois has 22, the NDP has seven and the Green Party has one.In a video posted...

Social media fad of mouth taping during sleep may pose severe risks: Researchers

Do you follow the social media trend of taping mouth while sleeping to help breathe from the nose instead of mouth? Beware, it could pose serious asphyxiation risks. Asphyxiation is a condition where oxygen is deficient in the body, often leading to impaired breathing or suffocation. When the nasal passages are blocked, breathing switches from the nose to the mouth. Mouth breathing has been linked to sleep-disordered breathing, which includes conditions ranging from snoring to obstructive sleep apnoea, where breathing stops and starts frequently during sleep. However, a recent trend amplified by social media has some people taping their mouths shut at night to treat sleep-disordered breathing by preventing mouth breathing. Mouth taping has been recommended by many social media influenc...
