Nearly 30 years later, is Quebec headed for another independence referendum?

Ten years ago, Jean-François Lisée predicted that Quebec’s independence movement would be reborn. “It could rise again given the right circumstances,” he said in 2015. “What could trigger it, I cannot say.”Three years later, as leader of the sovereigntist Parti Québécois, Lisée lost his riding and saw his party reduced to 10 seats when the upstart Coalition Avenir Québec, led by François Legault, swept to power for the first time.The 2018 election was widely seen as proof that separatism was no longer a defining issue in Quebec politics, and pollsters speculated that the PQ’s days were numbered. The province’s new leader was a former sovereigntist at the helm of a conservative-leaning, nationalist party promising not to hold a referendum, and Quebecers rewarded him with a decisive majority...

HMPV not killer like Covid, can cause lung infection in some: IMA expert

Amid the recent outbreak of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) in China, an expert from the Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Saturday said that the virus does not cause fatalities like Covid-19 but can in some individuals cause lung infection. Speaking to IANS Dr. Rajeev Jayadevan, Chairman of the Kerala State IMA Research Cell, said that HMPV is very common in young children and there is no vaccine or antiviral treatment recommended. “The HMPV or the Human Metapneumovirus is not a killer virus.

Prakash Jha on future of Bobby Deol-fronted Aashram

In chronicling a list of the anticipated OTT offerings of 2025, several platforms aptly pointed to the Bobby Deol-fronted conman show, Aashram, which was lapped up by audiences upon its August 2020 release owing to its gritty narrative. Three seasons in, Prakash Jha’s directorial venture has amassed a loyal fan base that keeps track of the show’s forthcoming episodes. Evidently then, when news relating to another season hit headlines, it gave fans reason to rejoice. However, a source close to the production tells mid-day that the glimpses of the new content circulating online do not belong to the fourth season.  “What has been shot is part of season three itself. It took time to release these episodes because of the merger between [OTT platforms] MX Player and Amazon,” says the source, hi...
