TORONTO – Ottawa, June 29, 2016. Justin Trudeau, along with U.S. President Barak Obama and his Mexican counterpart Enrique Peña Nieto, chairs the North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS), better known as the Three Amigos Summit. Since then, the leaders of the three countries have not met again. The break, which lasted over five years, was wanted by the previous Us administration led by former President Donald Trump and, last summer, by the uncertainties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, we are facing the turning point, with an attempt to normalization relations between Canada, the United States and Mexico. →
TORONTO – 666 new cases. A decidedly not very reassuring number, in every sense, that of the new cases recorded today in Ontario where there were also 7 deaths from Covid-19. The province therefore reported the highest number of infections in almost 40 days, to be precise since 2 October, when 704 cases were detected. The causes have risen in the last: 661 Saturday, 598 Friday, 642 Thursday. And the seven-day moving average is now 563, significantly higher than a week ago (468). The positivity rate also rises: today the laboratories processed 24,853 test samples, generating a positivity rate of 2.7% (Thursday it was 2.1%). →
November is Diabetes Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about the disease, its risk factors, its management and lifestyle changes people can make to improve their health. Since 1991, World Diabetes Day (November 14) is marked annually in honour of the birthday of Canadian physician and scientist, Sir Frederick G. Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin.
This year marks the 100-year anniversary of that 1921 discovery which was a historical turning point for the treatment of people with diabetes.
With the largest vaccination campaign underway, the province has administered more than 22.7 million doses into the arms of Ontarians. According to data last updated on November 14, numbers released by the Ministry of Health show health officials administered 13,066 vaccine doses on Saturday, down from 18,138 doses the day prior.
