Health Canada is recalling 68,000 garage heaters from Canadian Tire and other retailers because of concerns the product is overheating and in some cases, starting fires.

The national health agency issued a recall notice on Thursday, asking consumers to "immediately stop using" certain Mastercraft, Profusion Heat, Prestige and Matrix portable garage heaters.

The recalled heaters, sold in blue and red, have the Intertek file number 3153457, which can be found on the back of the unit.

Health Canada has set a one-year deadline for removing BVO from beverages. What are the associated risks?

Brominated vegetable oil, a food additive found in citrus-flavoured soft drinks, has now been banned in Canada, though consumers may still see it on ingredient labels for another year.

Health Canada removed BVO from its list of permitted food additives on 30 August after completing a safety assessment.

“The outcome of the assessment does not support BVO continuing to be permitted for use as a food additive,” the agency stated last month.

Since its updated safety analysis “did not find an immediate health concern with the current permitted use of BVO as a food additive,” Health Canada has provided a one-year transition period, concluding on 30 August 2025, “to allow impacted products to be reformulated and relabelled.”

Medical Assistance In Dying or MAID should be expanded. I've been in unbearable physical pain for almost three years. I don't qualify for MAID because I don't have access to competent medical care in Ontario.

Sorry, Americans. You can’t take our drugs.

I need you guys to listen so bad, but I’m at least glad people on Twitter are starting to talk about this. The government of Canada is expanding Medically Assisted Death to cull the poor and disabled, and now suicidal and mentally ill (these are usually interchangeable of course here). It is EUGENICS and every single disabled rights organization is against it.

Disability payments are $1,200 a month. The average one bedroom apartment rent in the Greater Toronto Area (greatest pop. area by far here) is $2,000 a month. People with mental illnesses are on months long waitlists to get even a single publicly funded session. Weeks to get privately funded care which costs at least $200 a session. There is no housing here for disabled people. We are in one of the worst housing crises in the world right now.

Doctors are now offering MAiD unprompted to young suicidal people. This woman is 21, a health practitioner literally suggested she kill herself.

This is one of the worst Disability Rights Violations we’ve ever seen in Canada. The government is killing us because it is cheaper than funding healthcare, cheaper than giving people housing and food and basic human rights.

Health Canada says a Calgary medical clinic that soon plans to charge its patients a fee to gain faster access to a family doctor would be breaching medicare laws.

The federal agency says Alberta risks losing federal transfer health payments if it doesn’t do something about it, but Premier Danielle Smith says if rules are being broken, they will act.

"Canadians should have access to primary health-care services based on medical need and not on their ability, or willingness, to pay," Health Canada said in a statement Tuesday.

Schrödinger’s Lozenge: Is a lozenge an edible, or an extract? In Canada, the answer depends on if it’s a cannabis product.

In January 2023, Health Canada, the federal authority overseeing the sale of medical and adult-use cannabis in Canada, began issuing stop-sale letters to licensed producers manufacturing “edible extracts,” mostly lozenges and dissolvable gummies. These products, producers held, were classified as extracts rather than edibles because they were intended for sublingual absorption and their…
