Singh warns against boosting private health services: ‘We can’t allow that to happen’

Jagmeet Singh is raising strong objections to moves by some provinces to increase publicly covered health services offered by private, for-profit companies in response to major backlogs and interruptions in health-care services.Taxpayer dollars should be used to improve services and pay competitive salaries in Canada’s public health-care system, not to enrich corporations that are charging governments a premium to gain profits, Singh said during a press conference in Toronto Wednesday.“It’s becoming very clear now that we are in a very serious crisis and it is not good enough for premiers to start talking about creative solutions when their solution is to privatize our health-care system,” Singh said. ‘Mind boggling’ — ERs big and small across Canada struggle amid staffing crisis “We’ve got a mixed system — our public dollars, our taxpayer dollars, end up going into the pockets of rich corporations, enriching people instead of going to the care of our loved ones.

Parents, educators concerned for safety of Philadelphia students amid rising gun violence

PHILADELPHIA - As students prepare to head back to the classrooms, parents and educators worry about school safety amid Philadelphia's worsening gun violence crisis. Mayor Jim Kenney joined school district leaders on Monday for an update on back-to-school safety and programs for the 2022-2023 academic year. Chief of School Safety Kevin Bethel said the district's plan will rely on a mix of school security officers, city police and parents to keep students safe. Philadelphia's public school system is one of the largest in the country, responsible for approximately 114,000 students. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESThe district reported 47 public and charter school students were killed, mostly from gun violence. Bethel said the district will support "safe corridors" to and from eight schools in the city's most troubled neighborhoods, including Bartram High School where a student was slain last winter.Part of the safety plan includes using police dogs to sniff-out guns hidden outside of school building. The district will not randomly check for weapons in middle and some elementary schools, but staff will be asked to stay alert. "Our parents, adults engaged with these young people are checking their bags making sure children are not taking their guns from their safes or guns they should not have and bringing them to schools," Bethel said. A 7-year-old boy became the victim of a shooting as police say he sat playing video games Saturday night.According to the latest data from the Philadelphia Police Department, there have been 350 homicides in the city this year.

Delaware County cemetery seeing the tragic result of Philadelphia's gun violence crisis

PHILADELPHIA - A cemetery just outside of Philadelphia is seeing the tragic result of the city's worsening gun violence crisis. Workers at Friends Southwestern Cemetery in Upper Darby say 90% of new burials are victims of gun violence."I got chills because I’ve been here a lot of times either supporting people or participating in a funeral service," Mustafa Ali told FOX 29. Friends Southwestern Cemetery, located on Powell Road, is the resting place for several of Ali's family and friends who have been lost to gun violence. Ali himself could have joined the dead at a young age. He severed a 6-year prison sentence for firearms and was later shot 10 times. Ali considers himself lucky and uses his spotted past as a cautionary tale for kids who may be wandering down a dangerous path. "Don’t pick the guns up, that’s the problem they pick the gun up," Ali said.

Safety concerns mount as Temple University welcomes students back to campus

PHILADELPHIA - As Temple University welcomes students back to campus ahead of the Fall semester, Philadelphia's gun violence crisis continues to spiral out of control leading to safety concerns. According to the latest data from the Philadelphia Police Department, there have been more than 340 homicides in the city this year. That number is outpacing 2021's historically tragic 562 murders by 2%, according to the data.Campus safety has always been a hot-button issue at Temple University, especially after the shooting death of Sam Collington in a botched robbery last fall. Temple University held a virtual forum on gun violence following the shooting death of 21-year-old student Sam Collington. Shaynah Ferreira has more on Good Day Philadelphia.To help quell the safety concerns of students and parents, Temple hired a Vice President of Public Safety and beefed up security measures. Stacey Achen, who dropped off her Alec on Tuesday, told FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce that she was hesitant to send her child to the school but was reassured after a campus visit. "I didn’t want him coming here, I was very concerned, but once we did a campus visit realized security is really tight, that was very reassuring," Achen said. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESTemple's police force last winter openly admitted that it was understaffed, operating at 60% normal capacity plus abnormal overtime shifts. The university responded by making more hires and upping patrols around campus as part of its safety enhancements shared by the school in March."It’s kind of a stigma around safety around here, but whenever I’ve been here it’s been safe never had any issues with it," Donnie Robson, a Temple freshman, said. Fall semester classes will start at Temple on Aug.

Geopolitical conflicts, covid 19 pandemic puts SDG targets in jeopardy: UN study

NEW DELHI : Geo-political conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic has put the 17 sustainable development goals of United Nations in jeopardy, according to a UN report released on Thursday. Titled ‘The Sustainable Development Goals Report 2022’, the report said that the combined crisis led to an additional 75 million to 95 million people living in extreme poverty in 2022, compared with pre-pandemic projections. In 2021, an estimated 17 million metric tons of plastic entered the world’s ocean and the volume of plastic pollution entering the ocean is expected to double or triple by 2040, the report said. According to the data presented in the report, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic across the goals are far from over. Global “excess deaths" attributed to the virus reached 15 million by the end of 2021. 93 million people worldwide were pushed into extreme poverty in 2020 and an estimated 147 million children also missed more than half of their in-person instruction over the past year.

Wheat and barley shortage: How Russia-Ukraine war triggered a global food crisis

FILE PHOTO by David Rogers/Getty Images LONDON (AP) - Russian hostilities in Ukraine are preventing grain from leaving the "breadbasket of the world" and making food more expensive across the globe, threatening to worsen shortages, hunger and political instability in developing countries.Together, Russia and Ukraine export nearly a third of the world’s wheat and barley, more than 70% of its sunflower oil and are big suppliers of corn. Russia is the top global fertilizer producer.World food prices were already climbing, and the war made things worse, preventing some 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain from getting to the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Asia.Weeks of negotiations on safe corridors to get grain out of Ukraine's Black Sea ports have made little progress, with urgency rising as the summer harvest season arrives."This needs to happen in the next couple of months (or) it’s going to be horrific,’’ said Anna Nagurney, who studies crisis management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is on the board of the Kyiv School of Economics.She says 400 million people worldwide rely on Ukrainian food supplies.

Ranchers’ group pushes back against Health Canada’s ‘vilification’ of beef

New Health Canada food labelling requirements for ground meat draw criticism The package labels would be applied to most foods that exceed 15 per cent of an adult’s recommended daily intake of sodium, sugar or saturated fat. But some foods that are naturally high in sugar, such as unsweetened fruit, will be exempt from the labelling requirement, while dairy and eggs — though high in saturated fat — will also be exempt.Dennis Laycraft, executive vice-president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said his industry can’t understand why its product is being “vilified.” He said Canadians consume approximately half of their calories from nutrient-poor ultra-processed foods, but by contrast, ground beef — while undeniably a source of saturated fat — is also a nutrient-dense protein that contains iron, zinc, and vitamin B12.“We believe there is a very, very compelling case to support an exemption,” Laycraft said in an interview.“The whole purpose of this (Health Canada proposal) largely came from a concern about highly processed foods, and foods with a lot of ingredients,” Laycraft said.

Crisis dogs bring comfort to Buffalo first responders after mass shooting

BUFFALO, N.Y. - A group of certified crisis counselors and specially-trained dogs traveled to Buffalo, New York, this week to offer support and comfort to those impacted by the mass shooting at a supermarket, in which 10 people were killed and three others were injured. The Tri-State Canine Response Team, based almost 400 miles away in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, arrived in Buffalo on Monday with five crisis response handlers and dogs to stay through Friday, "with the possibility of staying longer as needed." Four of the teams traveled from New Jersey, while one team came north from Florida. The nonprofit, all-volunteer team aims to offer comfort to those suffering from a personal condition or crisis in the community by "utilizing the human-canine bond and its power to heal." Its work is supported by community donations. In Buffalo, grief, shock, and anger have plagued the community after a White, 18-year-old gunman entered a Tops Friendly Market on Saturday and started shooting with a rifle, killing 10 Black people and wounding three other victims. A document circulated widely online seemingly outlined the suspect’s racist, anti-immigrant and antisemitic beliefs.
