NDP trying to solve health-care problems from every angle — except the one likely to have the biggest impact

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read Yesterday at 12:46 PM CDT

Winnipeg’s emergency-room wait times hit a record high in July, according to the latest data released Thursday by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

The 90th-percentile wait for all emergency rooms and urgent-care sites hit a staggering 13.02 hours last month, the longest wait ever recorded since the WRHA began publishing monthly data.

Thirteen hours is not a wait, it’s an endurance test. And it’s getting worse.

The 90th percentile is the point at which nine out of 10 patients experienced a shorter wait and one in 10 waited even longer.

Former Eskimo calls for team to change name

Rob Drinkwater, The Canadian Press 3 minute read Sunday, Nov. 29, 2015

EDMONTON - A former Edmonton Eskimo who once visited Nunavut with the Grey Cup says it's time to respect that the team's name is considered offensive to aboriginals.

"We have to honour the aboriginal communities of our great country and respect the fact that the name is deemed offensive and oppressive to these communities," Andre Talbot said from Toronto, where the retired 2004 Grey Cup champion played for the Argonauts but spent his final season in 2010 with Edmonton.

"Sports organizations need to be community building organizations. And if we're isolating and offending part of that community, then our particular organization or league is not doing its job."

In 2012, Talbot was part of a 100th anniversary tour of the Grey Cup that stopped in Iqaluit, and the trip involved more than just posing for pictures with the trophy. For two days, Talbot visited community centres and spoke with youth, answering their questions and even playing touch football with them.

U of M research role expands after $79-M federal injection

By Zoe Pierce 5 minute read Yesterday at 4:37 PM CDT

The University of Manitoba is playing in a new league.

A $79-million investment will bring five internationally recruited researchers to Manitoba to build “ambitious,” long-term research programs in areas of strategic national importance.

The five researchers will join the U of M thanks to the federal government’s $1.7-billion research talent initiative that’s designed to help Canadian universities compete globally for leading researchers.

The initiative’s flagship program, the Eddie Goldenberg Research Chairs of Canada, provides universities with the funding and resources to recruit world-class researchers, build research teams and pursue large-scale projects in fields considered important to Canada — from Arctic navigation and defence to sustainable mining, health equity and environmental law.

Parents share special bond with hockey-loving son

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2020

As parents, we want the best for our children. We wish for them to find something they're passionate about, that brings them joy, and to share in their successes and cheer them on when things go well, and offer a listening ear and shoulder to lean on when they don't.

For our 19-year-old son, Parker, one of those passions has always been hockey. From the first time he hit the ice at the age of two at our local outdoor community rink to his first half-ice Timbits game at the age of five to what I thought was his very last game at the age of 17 in his senior year of high school, it's been an incredible journey.

And now, much to our pleasant surprise, it continues to this day. A funny thing happened on his way to late-night beer league skates with buddies, where Mom and Dad would typically stay far away for fear of completely embarrassing the boy.

Welcome, folks, to the world of junior B hockey.

Rally against mask use in Winkler schools scores points with health minister

Julia-Simone Rutgers and Carol Sanders 1 minute read Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020

Manitoba Health Minister Cameron Friesen says the organizers of a recent hundreds-strong rally in Winkler against mandatory face mask rules in local schools made “some good points."

On Tuesday, a mask-less group of around 600 parents and children gathered in a closely-packed outdoor setting to voice opposition to Garden Valley School Division’s COVID-19 pandemic precautions, including mandated masks for students grades 4 and up, with doctor’s notes required for an exemption.

“My firm belief is that all directives related to mandatory mask-wearing in Canada are infringing on the rights of individual Canadians,” organizer Heather DiFrancesco said in a presentation to GVSD board trustees while the rally took place outside.

“There are many parents who believe wearing a mask may cause psychological and physical harm to their children.”
