For the past two years, British Columbians have been able to screen for cervical cancer at home. BC is the first province in Canada to offer cervix self-screening using HPV testing—more accurate, earlier detection that helps prevent cancer. Together, we can eliminate cervical cancer.

Canadians deserve a better question period
Our most visible accountability tool has drifted from its purpose. Parliament should use the Standing Orders debate to fix it.

Amateur hour in Minneapolis continues, even with Bovino out of the picture.
This is indicative of a broader issue with Trump’s mass deportation push; officers aren’t doing even basic investigations (to figure out things like “is this address a consulate”) as pressure to keep up arrests is so high.
