Quebec pediatricians are warning that a new law on physician pay will reduce children’s access to health care by making it more difficult for doctors to see young patients, part of a bruising standoff with the government that has seen hundreds of medical professionals apply to work outside the province and thousands demonstrating against the legislation.

A Cold War KGB agent deemed “inadmissible to Canada on security grounds” has won another shot at staying in this country.
Vladimir Popov contacted the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) shortly after he arrived in Canada on a visitor’s visa in August 1995 to tell the Canuck spy agency he’d been a member of the Soviet Union’s Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti (KGB) from 1972 until 1991, according to a new Federal Court review.
