Shared Health, heal thyself

Doctors are trained to seek out the causes of illness, not just to treat the symptoms.

That is, perhaps, a style of examination that the government of Premier Wab Kinew should be following with the health-care system as a whole.

Because the symptoms are looking a little dire.

Last week, provincial chief medical officer Dr. José François announced he would be leaving his position in January 2027. That means he will be leaving a position he has only held since April 2024 — less than three years.

Prairie opportunists are knocking and prime minister should answer the door

In preparation for Halloween, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe have spent an inordinate amount of time rattling their chains and howling like indignant spirits about the raw deal they are getting from the rest of the country.

In the wake of a federal election in which the governing Liberals failed to elect a MP in either province, Kenney and Moe are summoning apocalyptic visions of secession. We've heard a lot of that before but Western separatists, inspired by the Alberta and Saskatchewan first ministers, are warning everyone that this time it's serious.

Now, before anyone gets too spooked, it's important to remember that a good politician is — first and foremost — an opportunist. These are the folks with the pure political instinct to recognize a moment in which they can gain the upper hand and then seize on it like a ravenous dog on a bone. Imagine that, and you'll have a pretty clear picture of what Kenney and Moe are up to.

In short, the two premiers want two big-ticket items from Ottawa.

Child Nutrition Council helps schools make sure students don't go hungry

‘Hey, can you grab me an orange?”

It’s 11:30 a.m. on a Friday at Glenlawn Collegiate, and students of all ages and backgrounds are stopping by the school’s community kitchen. Two girls walk away chatting and peeling their oranges; a group of boys stop by looking for yogurt, which a student volunteer supplies.

This is what a school nutrition program can look like.

The community kitchen program at the St. Vital high school is just one of such programs assisted by the Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba, a charitable organization that supports breakfast, lunch and snack programs in schools across Manitoba.
