Shiromani Akali Dal targeted Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann

The Shiromani Akali Dal has targeted Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann for his admission to Delhi's Apollo Hospital for treatment. The Shiromani Akali Dal said that the reality of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who talked big about the revolution of health facilities in the state, is that due to non-payment of funds by the state government, the Ayushman health insurance scheme running for the treatment of the poor and needy is private. It has been closed by hospitals and on the other hand, Bhagwant Maan goes to an expensive private hospital in Delhi for his own treatment. In fact, according to repo

Day of mourning in B.C. as Vancouver festival attack suspect to face court

It's a day of remembrance and mourning in British Columbia today for victims of the deadly attack at a Filipino festival, as the suspect in the killings faces court.

Alberta's Smith says she doesn't see 'an appetite' for provincial pension plan

The idea of Alberta opting out of the Canada Pension Plan isn't going anywhere -- at least for now. Premier Danielle Smith says she won't be putting the creation of a provincial pension plan to a referendum any time soon. Smith says she doesn't think Albertans have ``an appetite'' to pull out of the national pension program, and says the issue is further clouded by lack of detail on how much the province would get if it left. In December, Canada's chief actuary published a report saying Alberta's perceived stake of the Canadian Pension Plan's overall assets was substantially over
