Ottawa Now - Local non-profit organization calls for faster access to life-saving and life-extending treatments

September 10, 2025

In 2013, Anne Bachinski-Bradford was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and was projected to live for just a matter of weeks. Her husband, John-Peter, refused to accept this reality. He wanted to do everything in his power to extend his wife’s time on Planet Earth for as long as he could. Thanks to countless hours of hard work and advocacy, she got to spend precious time with her grand-kids before taking her final breaths, memories that would have otherwise remained dreams. John-Peter’s efforts haven’t ceased since her passing, as he wanted to give other families the precious time that Anne had received. Teaming up with his wife’s oncologist, Bradford co-founded Life-Saving Therapies Network, which is constantly fighting for faster access to life-saving and life-extending treatments. He shares his emotional journey on today’s Ottawa Now.

Matthew Althorpe is one of several Canadian members of the designated terrorist group who has been convicted in Ontario’s courts in recent months.

For visitors wandering among mastodon skeletons and other impressive remains from the Pleistocene epoch at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum, a non-descript piece of cranium with broken stubs of antlers may not be the most arresting sight.Yet the bony fragment inside the glass case is a tantalizing clue to the vanished world that once existed where the city stands today – a nascent wilderness that emerged from the frozen mantle of the ice age more than 11,000 years ago.

A Canadian whose parents’ remains were held hostage in Gaza, and who has friends still captive there, says she hopes those who killed her parents and other Canadian victims will be prosecuted. Iris Weinstein Haggai says she can’t let herself get too excited by the news that a ceasefire deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas, adding that she knows from experience that “until it’s done, it’s not done.” But she’s hopeful that all 48 hostages will be returned home soon, some to their families, and others to be buried, like her parents were in June.
