Railway tracks in B.C. sit far from public view, and that’s one reason many people have no idea how often trains kill wildlife. Weak reporting from rail companies keep the scale of these strikes out of sight. Read the latest investigation in @thenarwhal.ca. projects.thenarwhal.ca/collision-co...

I had preeclampsia during my pregnancy. One reminder I got constantly from the nurses, OBs, internal medicine doctors, and maternal fetal medicine doctors was to immediately report a headache that didn’t improve after taking Tylenol. This is lifesaving advice for pregnant people with preeclampsia.
