Ditch Dynacare now

Re: Labour board ruling halts Dynacare strike (Sept. 9)

It is upsetting — no, infuriating — that Manitoba and other provinces (e.g., Ontario) are using Dynacare for their medical laboratory services. Dynacare is owned by a huge American corporation, Labcorp, located in North Carolina.

Doing a deep dive (via Google) into Labcorp and Dynacare’s finances is revealing. Labcorp does not separately report its Dynacare profits. But you can be sure that hundreds of millions of dollars are draining south. An important question to ask is how much of Canada’s publicly funded health-care money is ending up as profit for a U.S. owned corporation? And why is this not being investigated and reported? This is unacceptable.

Climate: ‘No good outcomes’

Gwynne Dyer 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

‘EL NIÑO is being supersized before our eyes,’ United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said last week.

“The science leaves no room for doubt: the planet is in uncharted waters, and those waters are heating up. The world is in the danger zone of extreme weather.”

He’s right — we are in even deeper trouble than we thought on the climate front.

Zeke Hausfather, a leading American climate scientist, warns that 2027 is almost certain to be the hottest year. It will be, he said, “a climate time-machine, temporarily driving global average temperatures to levels not normally expected until the late 2030s.” (Note the “temporarily.” We’ll get back to that.)

The plane truth about a dangerous president

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

U.S. President Donald Trump has crossed firmly into cutting-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face territory.

Earlier this week, the president who seems to set policy by spontaneous social-media eruption announced his plans to halt the sales of Bombardier aircraft in the United States, spouting his usual complaints about Canadians and Canadian producers not playing fair.

As usual, the complaint seems to be rooted in the now-usual process: someone close to the emperor whispered in his ear that Canada had treated a Bombardier competitor — Gulfstream — badly, so Trump responded with a pronouncement of broadly agreed doubtful legality. Presidents don’t actually have the power to single out individual companies and ban them from doing business.

Nevertheless, the threat alarmed Bombardier executives, customers, employees and government officials.

Growing pains? Maybe, but it’s worth it

Dan Hendry 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

With Winnipeg’s free youth transit pass rolling out this month, the city should expect more young people to use the bus.

This is not a flaw in the program. It is one of the key benefits. I have spent more than a decade working on youth transit in Kingston, Ont., and more recently with communities across Canada. The lesson I keep coming back to is simple: when young people are given the chance to learn transit — use it and see it as a normal part of life — they become more confident riders. Over time, many become paying riders, too.

Even so, operational costs are a valid consideration. Winnipeg Transit runs a real system with real limits. Buses fill up. And if full buses are consistently passing people by, that hurts everyone.

The city knows this and is responding accordingly. September’s rollout will be staggered to give Transit a chance to watch where demand appears and then adjust. According to the Winnipeg School Division, older students are expected to receive passes first, with other grades following through September. This is specifically to give the system more room to adapt.

The fallout from Epstein

Gwynne Dyer 4 minute read Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026

“It’s amazing how the arrest of a 66-year-old man in Norfolk has raised the spirits of the entire country,” remarked a reader on the letters page of the Guardian this week. “Perhaps a few more arrests are in order.”

The 66-year-old man was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, until recently known as Prince Andrew in polite circles and as “Randy Andy” in the British gutter press. He was arrested on Feb. 19 for “misconduct in public office,” not for raping an underage girl called Virginia Giuffre in Jeffrey Epstein’s houses in London, New York and the Caribbean.

But at least he was arrested (and immediately released on bail).

Four days later, on Feb. 23, another British notable briefly honoured the inside of a British police station with his presence. It was Peter Mandelson, a renowned “fixer” in British politics and briefly U.K. ambassador to the United States. The charge was the same vague “misconduct in public office,” and he, too, was immediately let out on bail.
