A new study says nurses, midwives and doulas can treat depression and anxiety symptoms experienced during pregnancy and after delivery.

The clinical trial, published today in the journal Nature Medicine, suggests training non-mental health specialists in short-term behavioural therapy can make treatment available for people who don't have a psychologist or psychiatrist.

Lead author Dr. Daisy Singla from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health says depression and anxiety symptoms affect one in five women who are pregnant or postpartum in Canada and the U.S.

Canada is bracing to see whether U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on his threats of economy-wide tariffs — or whether another last-minute pause materializes, averting a North American trade war.

Trump's executive order to implement 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian products, with a lower 10 per cent levy on energy, was delayed until Tuesday after Canada agreed to introduce new security measures at the border.

Working across sectors – from tourism to manufacturing - and in every region, Canada’s women entrepreneurs are making an enormous impact on our economy and in our communities. Yet many face barriers, both in accessing meaningful business advice and support, and securing the necessary funding.

Nine new projects have been funded under the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) 2024 call for proposals.

BCRC funding to the nine projects totals $1.43 million. Each project brings funding from other sources, leveraging producer funding with over $3.1 million.  

Funding decisions are made by the BCRC's producer council based on priorities identified in the Canadian Beef Research and Technology Transfer Strategy.  

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau clearly signalled his view Sunday that Russian President Vladimir Putin cannot be trusted to keep his word on any agreement to end his attack on Ukraine.

The battle between AI companies and copyright holders notched an early win for publishers in the U.S. in mid-February when a court ruled that a legal research firm didn't have the right to use a rival's content.

But even as the number of legal cases grows, a definite answer to the question of whether artificial intelligence companies can use copyrighted content to train their AI products is still a long way off.

Leaders from Canadian Ukrainian organizations say they are shocked by Friday's clash between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and they are warning this heated exchange should serve as a wake-up call for Canada. 

Trump berated Zelenskyy for being “disrespectful” in an Oval Office meeting, then abruptly called off the signing of a minerals deal that Trump said would have moved Ukraine closer to ending its war with Russia.

University of Saskatchewan economics professor Dr. Joel Bruneau said Canada might not have anything to gain by imposing retaliatory tariffs — instead, a ‘wait and see’ approach might pay off as homegrown American opposition to Trump’s tariff threats gathers momentum. 

With the weather seeing a freeze-thaw cycle in the southeast, SGI is letting people to know to keep an eye out for ice dams forming around their homes.
