B.C. man reunited with beloved flute, 5 years after it floated away down a Yukon river | CBC News
Jun Takahashi was stunned when he saw the online post: someone in the Yukon bush had found a canoe barrel full of his mildew-y camping gear, and his long-lost flute.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, remember that not all Canadians share the bounty of this land. A CBC report suggests 1 in 4 Canadians are dealing with food insecurity. Everyone is under pressure, but those of us who can, need to support food banks and agencies helping to feed those who need help.

Hint: if they lose—in Smith’s CBC interview she says that means less than 50%—she’s out. Buckle up Alberta, there is NO EVIDENCE to suggest this assault against our sovereignty will stop on Oct 19. Get everyone you know to vote no & vote remain. Only a massive wave of decent will stop the crazy.

The federal government should "step in" how, exactly? Evrery year, they already tally up what provinces charged for private care, and deduct it from their next transfer payment. This is publicly reported. That's as much as the Canada Health Act allows them to do.
