An investigation that began in 2012 with Canadian Border Services Agency officers searching through the garbage bin of a home in White City, Sask., ended on Wednesday with a two year suspended sentence at Regina's Court of King's Bench.

Over the last 48 hours, it has become clear that there is significant confusion and concern regarding parental access to their children’s medical records following the rollout of the new healthcare information system (CorCare).

I want to be categorical: Parents are the primary protectors of their children. Our government believes that parents or guardians should always have the right to access their children’s healthcare information.

While the current laws and policies have been in existence for decades, the implementation of the new digital health platform has exposed a fundamental misalignment between existing statutes and the expectations of families in this province. We did not create this policy, but we are going to fix it.

The Minister of Health and Community Services recognizes that the current policy being implemented through CorCare and MyChart may create barriers for parents seeking the information they need to protect and care for their children. Digitization now shines a spotlight on this policy. Our government will immediately review the Personal Health Information Act and other relevant legislation. Following consultations, we will introduce legislative changes this fall to ensure that parental access to their children’s medical records is protected in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We recognize there are complex cases involving child safety, and our legal system already has robust protections in place for those specific instances. However, we can’t allow a policy of 'secrecy by default' to stand between parents and the health of their children.

We have heard clearly from families across the province, and we will ensure the law supports parents and guardians while protecting the best interests of children and youth.

What if AI/Grok by default removed all the junk/anonymous/bots from your Twitter/X timeline? You could fine tune it, but you could make these accounts simply invisible with a few clicks.

For decades, America hid away disabled children. @JenSeniorNY’s aunt Adele was one of them. In 2023, Senior wrote about Adele—who was institutionalized as a toddler because of an intellectual disability—and the life she could have lived. https://t.co/HyiFiIf7PV

Just one week after some “lost Canadians” were told to surrender their new citizenship certificates, a few received letters over the weekend confirming their citizenship claims are once again considered valid.

Safety buoys were not in place before a watercraft rider went over a weir (shallow-damn), the City of Saskatoon told me.

@maeveellis_ I wondered about those buoys.

Montreal shooter confirmed killed. He appears to have been white, with brown or red hair, wearing some old-fashioned camo-style gear. Local police say one bystander was wounded and a police officer killed.

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:
