Canadian hospitals near state of emergency as patients wait 20+ hours in the ER – with some dying in their chairs. In Quebec, data showed that as of Friday, the average time spent on a stretcher in ERs across the province was just under 18 hours and officials in Alberta have called for a state of emergency to be declared.

The entire story is very sad. A pediatric nurse at Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse, New York, was reportedly knocked unconscious after being attacked by a 12-year-old patient earlier this year. The incident has sparked renewed concerns among staff about workplace safety and the growing number of children admitted to the hospital for behavioral and social issues rather than medical care.

Special Operations Raid To Secure Iran’s Enriched Uranium May Become A Very Risky Necessity

Iran was once one of the key oil suppliers to the world. No longer. Its exports, constrained by sanctions, amount to less than 2 per cent of global supplies, most of which go to China at discounted prices. A similar change has taken place in Venezuela. Once a star of world oil and one of the founding members of Opec, today it can hardly even be called a petrostate. It produces less oil than the US state of North Dakota and a quarter as much as neighbouring Brazil.

Europe faces a renewed gas crisis as storage levels fall below 30%, prices surge, and Qatar shuts down the world’s largest LNG facility, disrupting global supply.
