B.C. report warns youth suicide rates remain unchanged as province lags in prevention strategy

A new report commissioned by British Columbia’s chief coroner warns that despite years of concern and investment, the province has made little progress in preventing youth suicide. The findings echo long-standing national data showing that suicide remains one of the leading causes of death for young people across Canada. The review, led by Dr. Jatinder Baidwan, examined the deaths of 435 individuals aged nine to 25 between 2019 and 2023. It found that suicide continues to be the second most common cause of death among children and youth in B.C., and the third among those aged 19 to 29. Those

Talks stall between Alberta teachers, government in provincewide strike

Alberta's finance minister says there's a major divide between what the union representing striking teachers is asking for and what the government is willing to spend. Nate Horner says in an interview with CHED radio host Shaye Ganam that the union's latest contract proposal would require almost $2 billion more in spending than government has set aside for a deal. Horner says he was hoping for a more reasonable ask from the Alberta Teachers' Association, whose 51,000 members went on strike Oct. 6. The union's proposal was the subject of a bargaining meeting Tuesday, the first time the two side
