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. Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture Marc Miller speaks to reporters ahead of a cabinet meeting on Parliament Hill in...

Deepak Chaturvedi on interviewing 12 families for Nithari: Truth, Lies & Murder

Nearly two decades after the Nithari killings first came to light, the Supreme Court, on November 11, acquitted Surinder Koli in the final of the 13 cases against him. In its judgment, the SC noted the investigation lapses and failure to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Close on the heels of the judgment, Discovery+ dropped the documentary, Nithari: Truth, Lies & Murder. Talking to mid-day, filmmaker Deepak Chaturvedi says the apex court’s verdict reinforces the concerns he had, as he re-examined the case that grabbed the nation’s attention in December 2006 when the bodies of 19 women and children were found near bungalow D5 of Sector 31 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. While the bungalow’s owner Moninder Singh Pandher and his house-help Koli were arrested in December 2006, the forme...

Miller voices support to removing religious exemption for hate speech – National

Culture Minister Marc Miller expressed support Tuesday for removing a religious exemption on hate speech from the Criminal Code. Miller told reporters he doesn’t “think people should be using the Bible, the Qur’an or the Torah to escape from committing a hate crime or claim that … what would otherwise be a hate crime is done in the name of a religious text.”Miller chaired the justice committee until he rejoined cabinet on Monday. He said in French in a followup comment he was offering his own perspective and it remains to be seen what the government and the justice committee will do.The Bloc Québécois said in a press release Monday the party had the government’s support for an amendment to get rid of the exemption.The comments follow a report by the National Post saying the Liberals had re...

Liberals are being ‘dishonest’ about future of pharmacare, NDP says – National

The federal government’s response to a report it commissioned on national pharmacare was “shockingly dismissive,” NDP interim leader Don Davies said this week as he called on the Liberals to come clean on their plans for the program. “I think it’s politically dishonest,” he said in an interview.Davies was involved in the negotiations that brought forward the Pharmacare Act last year.The law, which passed just over a year ago, was a key part of the supply-and-confidence deal between the NDP and Liberals under former prime minister Justin Trudeau.It required the government to set up a committee of experts to recommend the best way to create a universal, single-payer pharmacare system.That committee reported to Health Minister Marjorie Michel in October and its report was made public last mon...

Carney’s new housing agency will have ‘modest’ impact, says PBO – National

A new report by the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) says Prime Minister Mark Carney‘s new housing agency is on track to build 26,000 homes over the next five years. That comes after Carney said during the federal election campaign that his government would double the pace of housing construction to 500,000 a year, but without specifying in that vow whether it would be the promised new federal agency that would do so.The impact of Build Canada Homes, a new federal agency created in September, on easing Canada’s housing crisis will likely be “modest,” the PBO report said.The PBO report says the agency is currently on track to increase housing supply by 2.1 per cent over the next five years. 4:31 ...
