When Obesity Canada first released its treatment guidelines in 2020, the chapter on medications included three drugs and six recommendations for their use.

On Monday, the health charity published its latest chapter update in the Canadian Medical Association Journal – and the number of drug options and recommendations have both doubled.

An out-of-control fire outside of Kelowna with a listed size of 1.5 hectares as of 4 p.m. Sunday has led to tactical evacuations, but a local emergency group says some residents might be able to return home as early as tonight.

The so-called Daves Creek fire is currently burning 15 kilometres east of Kelowna near Highway 33, which officials have closed between Goudie Road and Cardinal Creek.

When her neighbours came knocking at her door last Monday afternoon telling her to evacuate, Barbara Watson was calm. Too calm. From her church-conversion house in Small Point-Adam’s Cove-Blackhead-Broad Cove, N.L., she could see smoke in the distance, yes, but assumed it was a little fire in the woods that would be easy to extinguish.

She grabbed her small cross-body bag, some freshly washed laundry and her asthma inhaler and headed to a friend’s place in Western Bay, a 10-minute drive away, assuming the evacuation order would be lifted in a day or two.

A Jewish man who was beaten in front of his children in a Montreal park suffered a broken nose and is now recovering at home, according to a community activist.

The 32-year-old Montreal man was attacked while visiting a public park on Friday afternoon with his three young children.

A video of the attack, which drew condemnation after it circulated on social media, shows the man on the ground as his attacker throws punches at his head. As the attacker steps back, a crying child clings to the victim’s arm.

Staff Sgt. Brad McKinnon of the Williams Lake RCMP said he has seen “some very exceptional things” during his 20 years in policing, but the story of 39-year-old Andrew Barber could have had a very different ending.

McKinnon said a police helicopter coming from Prince George spotted the man in the afternoon of Aug. 8 in a remote area north of McLeese Lake – nine days after he was first reported missing to RCMP on July 31.

Like some superhero channelling the power of lightning, Algoma Steel Inc. ASTL-T has started using the heat cast off by the arcs of powerful electric currents to make greener steel.

 A man who’s been on the list of Canada’s top 25 most wanted fugitives for murder and drug trafficking charges in Saskatoon dating back to 2022 has been arrested at the airport in Montreal while police say he was returning to Canada. 

Quebec provincial police say officers from the Sûreté du Québec Airport Unit, the Mascouche Major Crime Investigation Division and the Canada Border Services Agency arrested Jonathan Ouellet-Gendron on several Canada-wide warrants at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport on Saturday.

A Conservative MP is calling on Identity and Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault to apologize to U.S.-based Christian musician Sean Feucht after the permits for recent concerts in venues overseen by Parks Canada were revoked.

Marilyn Gladu, the opposition critic for civil liberties, says in a letter dated Friday that denying the permits did not “preserve the principle of inclusion” but had the opposite effect in excluding Feucht and many Canadians who had planned to attend the events.

From its earliest days, the Avon River has been the heart of the community of Stratford, Ont.

The centrepiece of the river, known as Lake Victoria, was created in the 1830s as a millpond for industry. The parks board later convinced the city to invest in horse-drawn scoops to dredge the lake. Locals warded off railroad proposals along the shorelines, where roses from Queen Mary were planted. A pair of swans from Queen Elizabeth arrived in 1967.

A statement from the American department said the duty for most Canadian companies is being increased to 14.63 per cent, up from 6.74 per cent, after it determined softwood lumber from Canada was being unfairly subsidized.
