Despite holding life-and-death decision-making power over tens of thousands of elderly Canadians, the country’s biggest for-profit nursing home chains are largely dominated by corporate directors with no real medical expertise.

To date, 85% of Canada’s COVID-19 deaths are linked to outbreaks at long-term care facilities, with private, for-profit homes seeing up to four times as many deaths.

But according to a new analysis of corporate records by PressProgress looking at 35 directors currently sitting on the boards of Canada’s four largest for-profit nursing home chains, including Sienna Living, Extendicare Inc., Revera and Chartwell, most have little to no expertise on matters relating to providing care.

In total, 40% of the directors sitting on the boards of these for-profit nursing home chains have backgrounds in real estate.

British Columbia has the worst air quality in North America, due to an excess of forest fires that are drawing support from the federal government.

Not only is air quality currently the worst in the continent but similar to last year, it’s beating out several major areas in Asia, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Beijing.

[…]

The interactive map displays near real-time information on particulate matter air pollution that’s less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5).

According to Berkeley Earth, PM2.5 is the most damaging form of air pollution likely to be present and is often linked as contributing to heart disease, stroke, lung cancer, and respiratory infections, among other diseases.

The data is an accumulation of thousands of surface station measurements from around the globe. The display is only a few hours behind real time, at most.

The “epicentre” of BC’s air pollution stems from the interior of the province, where tens of thousands of hectares of land are currently up in flames.
