Hunger remains a chronic problem in Asia, with 55 million more people undernourished in 2022 than before the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization says in its latest assessment of food security in the region. Most of those living without enough to eat are in South Asia, and women tend to be less food secure than men, the report says. The FAO’s study focuses on food supply, consumption and dietary energy needs and is designed to capture a state of chronic energy deprivation that stunts growth and saps productivity and quality of life.

MONTREAL — The hamlet of Gore, Que., had the foresight to start preparing for more intense annual flooding due to climate change a decade ago. That's when the rural township 60 kilometres northwest of Montreal began quadrupling the size of its culverts to accommodate greater water flow under its roads. But that still wasn't enough to withstand the 2023 flood season. "We ended up losing three roads at a cost of close to $1 million,” Gore Mayor Scott Pearce said in a recent interview. The town's a
OTTAWA — Several government ministers are expected to launch today a new federal dental insurance plan that will provide benefits directly to eligible Canadian residents, though the first claims won't be processed until May. Government officials say the new program will be phased in slowly over 2024. The officials provided a briefing to The Canadian Press ahead of today's announcement on the condition they not be named. The insurance plan is a key pillar of the Liberals' supply-and-confidence de
MONTREAL — About 80,000 unionized Quebec nurses and other health-care workers will be joining fellow public sector workers already on strike since last week. The health workers are members of the FIQ, who will begin a four-day strike today, joining workers from four unions representing 420,000 Quebec public sector workers who began a weeklong strike on Friday. Those workers include teachers, education support staff and lab technicians and are members of a group of four unions that calls itself t
Thirty years ago I had an affair with a married woman at work. She became pregnant, but insisted that the child was her husband’s. She didn’t return to work at the company after her maternity leave; in due course I too left the company and moved to another part of the UK, where I met someone, married and had two children, who are now in their 20s.
There was a point where we couldn’t do it. That we just needed to stay married “for the kids’ sake” because both Matt and I couldn’t live with being the root cause of their future trauma. There are no positive blueprints out there when it comes to kids and divorced parents. The language alone is daunting: “product of a failed marriage”.
It wasn’t the opening of the advent calendar, the stirring of the Christmas pudding or the hanging of the mistletoe which signified the start of the festive season in my household. No. Christmas always began with the family booze run to France.
To the untrained eye, the collection of pipes and structures rising out of the prairie 200 kilometres east of Calgary looks like any other natural gas processing plant in southern Alberta. But the Steveville plant isn't focused on extracting hydrocarbons. Instead, the prize it's seeking deep underground is helium. The element is most commonly associated with party balloons, but it has myriad other applications ranging from its use in MRI machines to semiconductors to the aerospace industry. Heli

CALGARY — Fed up with taking heat for their industry's carbon footprint, Canadian ranchers say it's time for government to step up and fund a solution that will reduce emissions while also preserving one of earth's most threatened ecosystems. The beef industry is casting itself as one of the last lines ofdefence in protecting Canada's native grasslands — the rippling expanse of natural prairie that once covered a significant swath of the western provinces but which has been largely lost over the
HALIFAX — As he stands near a Nova Scotia forest with soaring 150-year-old trees, Mike Lancaster sees a natural, long-term solution to the threat wildfires pose to city dwellers. The director of the St. Margaret's Bay Stewardship Association says much of the 1,000 hectares that ignited in May — destroying 151 homes and businesses in Halifax's western suburbs — was young, dense, coniferous woodland that had grown after decades of intensive logging. Pointing to the canopy of older-growth trees jus
