I love deviled eggs! Who doesn’t?

Deviled eggs are always the first thing to disappear when I bring them to parties!

What does the Supreme Court decision mean for Saskatchewan health care?

Violin 55 Views

Last week the Supreme Court of Canada decided not to hear a BC doctor’s appeal on expanding access to health care.

The decision leaves privately-funded health care prohibited in the province and effectively settles that element of the private-versus-public-funding debate on the west coast.

Bailey first issued the emergency regulation in March. The rule includes some restrictions for transgender adults, in addition to youth.
