Long-delayed rules to help gun tracing not needed ‘at this time’: minister – National

Canada’s public safety minister says the government is delaying long-promised regulations for marking firearms another two years because it’s focused on the impending national launch of the federal gun buyback program. The marking rules, which had been set to come into force on Monday, sought to require domestic manufacturers to label all new firearms with a serial number and country identifier to help law enforcement with tracing weapons used in crime.The government said in a notice last month that the rules — first proposed over 20 years ago — will now come into effect in December 2027, which will allow “additional preparatory time” for manufacturers “to take steps to comply with the regime when it comes into force.”That was the same justification given when the rules were delayed by two...

Fans dialled Stranger Things 5 Eleven’s missing number and it works

The final season of Stranger Things dropped a week ago, and fans have been going gaga. Stranger Things 5 was released on November 26 to overwhelming reviews and the fans recently found an easter egg in the latest season. The showrunners made sure not to disappoint fans. When Season 5 was released, viewers spotted a “missing" poster for Eleven, with a number clearly visible. Somebody called the number, and it actually worked. Eleven`s missing number in Stranger Things 5 Season 5 starts with the Hawkins Police Department racing to locate Eleven, who has mysteriously vanished again. Season 5 is set 18 months after the chaos of Season 4, and this time Hawkins is still reeling from the doorways Vecna tore through the town. Officials declare a massive earthquake caused the destruction, but fa...

Carney says Algoma Steel loans ‘saved two-thirds’ of jobs despite layoffs – National

Prime Minister Mark Carney was pressed on Wednesday about whether or not his federal government was aware Algoma Steel was planning to lay off nearly 1,000 workers when it was given $400 million in loans from Canadian taxpayers. In response to questions from Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, Carney did not explicitly say whether he was informed ahead of time, but suggested Algoma Steel would have had to lay off even more workers without the loan.“These are difficult times in Sault Ste. Marie and our hearts go to them and their families. As I quote the CEO of Algoma Steel who said ‘it would be an even darker day if this government hadn’t acted,'” said Carney.“That loan, that support saved two-thirds of those jobs.” ...

Obesity treatment: WHO guideline on the use of GLP-1 therapies

The World Health Organization has released its first global guideline on the use of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) therapies for treating obesity, recognising the condition as a chronic and relapsing disease. The move comes amid rising global demand for GLP-1 medications—such as semaglutide and liraglutide—currently used for diabetes and weight management. Here’s what the new guidance means and why it matters. What are GLP-1 therapies? GLP-1 therapies (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists) are medications that mimic the body’s natural GLP-1 hormone, which regulates blood sugar and appetite. Originally developed to manage type-2 diabetes, these drugs are now widely used for weight loss and obesity treatment. Beyond weight management, some GLP-1 medicines have shown additional benef...

Legault slams Marc Miller over French language comments, calls him a disgrace to Quebecers

Quebec Premier François Legault blasted federal culture minister Marc Miller on Tuesday, accusing him of downplaying the decline of French in Quebec and calling his comments an embarrassment to the province. “Marc Miller is a disgrace for all Quebecers,” Legault told reporters. “I don’t know how he’s going to show up at a cultural event in Quebec after saying nonsense like that.”Earlier Tuesday, Miller said he was “fed up” with the politicization of the language debate. He was named federal culture minister responsible for Official Languages on Monday, replacing Steven Guilbeault, who resigned from Prime Minister Mark Carney’s cabinet last week.
