Waiting in an emergency room is an excruciating experience for anyone. But waiting for care while you’re dying is unimaginable. This week we learned of two separate cases of Nova Scotia women who died after sitting in the ER, both for more than six hours. One a mother of three, the other a grandmother, their cases show us the human cost of an HR crisis in hospital ERs that's shaking the trust of Canadians. Friday is an important day for Indigenous survivors traumatized by Canada’s day-school system. The deadline to apply to be part of a class-action lawsuit to be compensated for the years of abuse they suffered in those institutions is set at midnight tonight. It’s a task easier said than done as they’re forced to re-live their agonizing experiences. It’s been a little more than four months since Pierre Poilievre took the reigns of the federal Conservative Party of Canada. Since then, the new Tory leader has made it a habit of not speaking regularly with large media outlets, but today Poilievre did agree to speak to Global News.
