Moscow abandoned its main bastion in northeastern Ukraine on Saturday, in a sudden collapse of one of the war’s principal front lines after surging Ukrainian forces threatened to encircle the area in a shock advance.

The swift fall of Izium in Kharkiv province was Moscow’s worst defeat since its troops were forced back from the capital Kyiv in March, and could prove a decisive turning point in the six-month-old-war, with thousands of Russian soldiers abandoning ammunition stockpiles and equipment as they fled.

Ontario’s health care system is in crisis. Our government’s latest response? Extreme measures that will only worsen the lives of frail elders and people with disabilities, and their families, in the form of Bill 7: the more Beds, Better Care Act.

But forcing our elderly into long-term care homes is not the solution.

Canada's major telecommunications companies have signed on to a formal agreement that could stave off the worst effects of a major outage such as the one that hit the Rogers network in July, the federal government announced Wednesday.

As part of the deal, the major carriers have agreed to support and assist their competitors during any future major network outages so customers can still make calls, access 911 emergency services and conduct business transactions.

How much can we rely on this signed deal?

On the Labour Day weekend, a devastating series of attacks resulting in deaths and others injured instantly made the James Smith Cree Nation internationally famous.

In the coming days, as journalists delve into the backgrounds of the suspects and the dynamics surrounding the incomprehensible events, any characterization of this atrocity as a meme for Indigenous dysfunction would be, frankly, inaccurate. As we have tragically seen in recent years – in towns from Portapique, N.S. to Uvalde, Tex. – the disease of mass killings has nothing to do with a community’s ethnicity.

The traumatized Indigenous community in Saskatchewan deserves better than this. 

GUEST: Dr. Ken Coates, Canada Research Chair with the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan, and a Senior Fellow of Aboriginal and Northern Canadian Issues with the Macdonald Laurier Institute
