cigarettes will look like and when they will come into effect.Federal officials say Canada is set to be the first country in the world to apply labels to individual cigarettes.The messaging will rotate and be written in English and French.

The wording will range from warnings about harming children and damaging organs to causing impotence and leukemia. One example is “poison in every puff,” while an image released by Health Canada shows another example of “cigarettes damage your organs” in an all-caps black font on the tipping paper of each cigarette.The label will also be included on “little cigars,” tubes and other tobacco products, the federal government said in a release.

The strategy is meant to help Canada reach its goal of less than five per cent tobacco use by 2035, which currently sits at 13 per cent, according to Health Canada.The regulations for the label will come into force on Aug.

1, 2023, but will be implemented in phases. King-size cigarettes will be the first to feature the new label and will be sold by retailers by the end of July 2024, followed by regular-size cigarettes and little cigars and tubes by the end of April 2025.“Tobacco use continues to kill 48,000 Canadians each year.

Biden vows to bring high-speed internet access to all Americans by 2030

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Joe Biden on Monday said that high-speed internet is no longer a luxury but an "absolute necessity," as he pledged that every household in the nation would have access by 2030 using cables made in the U.S."These investments will help all Americans," he said. "We’re not going to leave anyone behind."Biden announced that more than $40 billion would be distributed across the country to deliver high-speed internet in places where there's either no service, or service is too slow."But it’s not enough to have access — you need affordability and access," the president said, adding that his administration is working with service providers to bring down costs on what is now a household utility — like water or gas — but often remains priced at a premium.With Monday’s announcement, the administration is launching the second phase of its "Investing in America" tour.

Gov. Shapiro draws criticism for backing school vouchers

PHILADELPHIA - As the Pennsylvania Legislature nears a budget deadline by the end of the week, the controversial issue of school vouchers has emerged as a hot topic with Governor Josh Shapiro in the thick of it.Opponents of using public money to pay for students attending private or religious schools, known as school vouchers, argue they drain money from public schools which most students attend. Democrats most often oppose vouchers, but not Governor Shapiro."I believe every child of God deserves a shot here in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. One of the best ways to guarantee their success is to make sure every child has a quality education," Shapiro said.If that includes vouchers focusing on students attending low-achieving public schools, Shapiro is on-board and willing to sign legislation soon.

Russia’s most serious political crisis in decades, uncertainty swirled Monday about the fate of the former Putin ally who led a brief armed rebellion, his Wagner mercenary group, and the two military chiefs with whom he has clashed over the conduct of the war in Ukraine.Also unclear were the impact on the 16-month-old invasion – and the future of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who faced the most serious challenge to his authority in more than 20 years of rule.A feud between Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin and Russia’s top military brass amid the fighting in Ukraine erupted into a mutiny that saw fighters from the mercenary group leave the front in Ukraine to seize a south Russian city and march seemingly unopposed on the capital, before turning around after less than 24 hours on Saturday.The Kremlin said it had made a deal that the mercenary chief will move to Belarus and receive an amnesty, along with his soldiers. Yet on Monday, Russian media reported that a criminal probe against Prigozhin continued, and his whereabouts were unknown.Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu made his first public appearance since the rebellion that demanded his ouster, inspecting troops in Ukraine Monday in a video aimed at projecting a sense of order, as Russian media speculated that he and other top military leaders have lost Putin’s confidence and could be replaced.Shoigu was shown in video released by the Defense Ministry flying in a helicopter and then attending a meeting with military officers at a military headquarters in Ukraine.
