Ontario's health care spending was the lowest in Canada per capita and below the average of other provinces in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, according to a new report by a government watchdog.

The Financial Accountability Office (FAO) of Ontario report, released Wednesday, compares Ontario government spending, revenues, budget balance and net debt with other Canadian provinces using Statistics Canada's government finance statistics for that year. The FAO provides independent analysis on the state of the province's finances.

According to the report, health care spending per capita in Ontario was $4,889 in 2022-2023, the lowest in Canada, and $876, or 15.2 per cent, below the average of the other provinces. Health care spending includes spending on hospital and outpatient services, medical products and equipment, and public health services. You can read the report here.

"Since 2008, Ontario's health spending per capita has consistently ranked at or near the lowest in Canada," the report reads.

Education spending in Ontario, however, was $2,843 per capita in 2022, the fifth highest among the provinces and $71, or 2.6 per cent, above the average of the other provinces. Education spending includes spending on primary, secondary and post-secondary education programs. [...]

Red Dress Day: Honouring Memories and Raising Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People

May 6, 2024

Shaina Tranquilino

In Canada, Red Dress Day serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing crisis surrounding missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people (MMIWG2S). This solemn occasion, marked by the hanging of red dresses in public spaces, symbolizes the lives lost and the urgent need for justice and systemic change. As we commemorate Red Dress Day, it's crucial to reflect on the profound impact of this crisis and renew our commitment to advocating for the rights and safety of Indigenous communities across the country.

The Significance of the Red Dress:

The red dress has become a powerful symbol in the movement to raise awareness about MMIWG2S. It represents the women, girls, and two-spirit individuals who have gone missing or been murdered, their spirits, and the bloodshed that continues to stain the fabric of Indigenous communities. Each red dress hung serves as a silent tribute, a visual reminder of lives cut short and families torn apart by violence and injustice.

Honouring the Memories:

Red Dress Day is a time for reflection and remembrance. It's an opportunity for communities to come together to honour the memories of those who are no longer with us. Through ceremonies, gatherings, and art installations, Indigenous and non-Indigenous people alike pay tribute to the lives lost and reaffirm their commitment to seeking justice and accountability. It's a solemn occasion but also a chance to celebrate the resilience and strength of Indigenous communities in the face of adversity.

Raising Awareness and Demanding Action:

Beyond remembrance, Red Dress Day serves as a call to action. It's a reminder that the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people is not a thing of the past but a present-day reality. Indigenous women are disproportionately affected by violence and are more likely to experience homicide or disappearance compared to non-Indigenous women. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for systemic change to address the root causes of this crisis, including colonialism, systemic racism, poverty, and inadequate access to resources and support services.

Advocates and activists use Red Dress Day as an opportunity to raise awareness about MMIWG2S and to demand action from governments, law enforcement agencies, and society at large. They call for improved support services for victims and their families, culturally sensitive policing practices, and meaningful efforts to address the underlying factors that contribute to violence against Indigenous women and girls. By amplifying their voices and advocating for change, they strive to ensure that the lives lost are not forgotten and that future generations can live free from fear and harm.

Red Dress Day is a solemn yet empowering occasion that reminds us of the ongoing crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people in Canada. As we honour the memories of those who are no longer with us, we must also recommit ourselves to the fight for justice, equality, and respect for Indigenous rights. By standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities and demanding action from our leaders, we can work towards a future where every woman, girl, and two-spirit person is safe, valued, and able to live their lives free from violence and discrimination.

Maritimes Against Climate Change

One week ago my group Maritimes Against Climate Change held a rally to bring the community together and hold the fossil fuel companies, who get tax breaks while destroying our world, accountable.

Here was the speech I was supposed to do, but had to wrap it up due to me recovering from a cold and the weather:

"Hello everyone, thank you all for coming despite the weather. We can all see that Canada still has a little bit of cold left in her despite what were here for.

Over the last couple of years, outright Climate Denialism has been waning. Many people see with their own eyes that "October used to be cold" or "we would get long lasting snow before December".

Denying that humanity is the cause usually follows, that's easy to disprove, then denying that its a problem is next, which if you come across that I have some information to help argue that point:

Cost of Environmental Events: Atlantic Canada has experienced significant financial losses due to extreme weather events. For instance, Hurricane Fiona in 2022 caused damages exceeding $800 million, underscoring the vulnerability of our infrastructure and communities. CBC

Fisheries and Aquaculture: Warming ocean temperatures and changes in salinity are affecting fish stocks and aquaculture operations. Notably, the lucrative lobster industry in Nova Scotia has faced challenges due to shifting populations and increased competition.

Agriculture: Increased frequency of droughts and heavy rainfall events disrupt crop yields, impacting food security and rural economies. The 2023 drought in Atlantic Canada led to significant agricultural challenges, with some regions receiving only a quarter of their usual rainfall. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Fishing and agriculture are the backbones of our communities, farmers in particular are in tune and rightfully worried about the climate crisis, because their crops and their livelihoods are on the line.

For more individual impacts to counter the "it doesnt effect me specifically" crowd:

Insurance and Financial Services: The rise in climate-related disasters has led to higher insurance claims and premiums. In 2021, severe weather caused $2.1 billion in insured damages across Canada, with Atlantic Canada being particularly affected. IBC

Health: Rising temperatures are increasing heat-related illnesses, while poor air quality during wildfire seasons poses respiratory risks. In 2023, Atlantic Canada experienced an unprecedented wildfire season, leading to health advisories and evacuations. CBC

Housing: Coastal and riverine flooding threaten homes and necessitate relocation or expensive retrofitting. Sea-level rise projections indicate that the Atlantic region will experience the largest local sea-level rise in Canada, increasing the risk of flooding and erosion. CNN

Thank you to Climatlantic for these statistics.

As I say a lot in these marches, in New Brunswick, we have the forest to our left and the sea to the right, both integral to our survival but with climate change, can also be a risk. I have nightmares all the time of me, my parents, my grandparents, my friends, my future family being evacuated because their homes are no longer safe. I do not wish that upon anyone on this earth.

Finally, the last state of climate denialism is also the one that hurts the most, because it comes not from a place of ignorance, but apathy, hopelessness. The viewpoint that we cant solve it, that its too late.

And i get it, the world is a big place, a lot of moving parts, lobbying is so rampant it easily makes you feel small. But you are not alone. The average New Brunsweicker is closer to being homeless than ever having as much as the people who influence the world's politics, but the thing is, there are way more if us. And if we come together in solidarity and tackle the same problem, we can influence the policies that effect we the people.

For many years we have seen that corporate greed has not only hurt the environment, but our communities as well. Multimillion dollar Companies continue to choose profits over the people that brought them to that place. Rising costs of everything has been straining all of us thin, and the climate crisis, exacerbated by the fossil fuel industry will not help. We need to be vocal that the reason that these companies as well as our politicians are at the place they are is due to the blood sweat and tears of the hardworking individuals of our communities. Every time we try to make companies pay their fair share, they make their customers or even their own employees shoulder the burden.

We need to stand in solidarity with workers and demand for policies that not only change, but improve the lives of all New Brunsweickers. Making sure that the future of Maritimers aren't thought of with fear and worry, but hope.

And how do we get our voices herd? Rallying our communities. Organizing events, bringing these towns, cities, communities together all under a single driving force, our future. Starting small with local governments, municipalities, up to provincial and hopefully to a national scale, we will bring the voice of the people to where it needs to be. Just as one kid rallied the world for climate action before covid, I plan to rally the maritimes for the same cause. Our voices need to be loud! Our mission needs to put the lives of New Brunsweickers first! The environment of will be a priority of course but we will never forget that this will be done by New Brunsweickers for New Brunsweickers.

This fight needs to be workers, the everyday person, versus the companies and CEOs that effect us all. We need to show them that we stand together and wont stand for this treatment anymore! So rally your fellow workers, strike, picket, march, get involved with local government, local groups, everything. Because if we won't do it, who will?"

‘Why don’t men set up their own refuges?’ I often hear. Well you should ask Earl Silverman that question.

Earl’s story started long ago; he began as one of countless Canadian men who were being abused, and who looked for help, only to find none. There were no services for Earl.

No listening ear, nor shoulder to lean on. And certainly no shelters.

He was on his own.

So Earl decided to do something – exactly what is suggested.

Yes, Earl set up the first and only refuge for abused men in Canada, ‘The Men’s Alternative Safe House’, which he would run from his own home, and using his own money.

For years Earl took men in – men like him – and he ran the refuge single handedly. He worked, and he worked, and received no funding whatsoever from the Canadian Government.

Soon he sold his belongings. And then emptied his bank accounts. Later he closed his refuge. And eventually lost his house.

The only thing left was his life, which Earl tragically took too, the day after his home was sold.

‘Maybe my death will create a need’, Earl tragically scribbled in his suicide note.

But it hasn’t. Nothing has changed. There are still no publicly funded shelters for abused men and their children in Canada.

Neither is any of the $734-million to build 1,500 new housing spaces for survivors, allocated to male victims.

Politicians have failed men.

And they have failed Earl.

Today, just last week, male politicians of Canada pranced around in pink high heels to reaffirm their commitment to violence against women, in an utterly meaningless demonstration of virtue signalling.

A commitment to women, but not men.

I wonder what Earl would say if he was alive and in that room?

The man who gave everything, and got nothing back.

Today, the 26th of April, marks the ten year anniversary of Earl Silverman’s tragic suicide. And no, nothing has changed.

RIP Earl Silverman 4 July 1948 – 26 April 2013.

That last display is sickening, not just in its endorsement of dishonesty, but how manipulative it is. Imagine being any of the politicians who knows better, who knows the statistics, and witnessing, or being socially pressured to participate. This wasn't just a show of support - it was a "fuck you" and a power move.

I’m looking for book recs for a 9 year old girl going into Grade 4 in September (Canadian system). My niece, who likes Harry Potter, Enid Blyton, mermaids and unicorns. She’s read all the Harry Potter books (I think my sister read her the later ones, as the vocabulary is more advanced). She’s torn through Blyton’s Malory Towers and St Clare’s boarding school books, which were out of date already when my sister and I first read them as kids.

My sister doesn’t want to get my niece started on the Famous Five and other Enid Blyton series because she doesn’t have the old paperbacks sitting around in the garage, would have to buy the books. I don’t want her to get started on Enid Blyton other than the boarding school books she’s already read, because of the truly astounding racism and sexism in the adventure books. Blyton’s penchant for Romany and black villains has aged…poorly since the 1930s when she was first published.

I would also be interested in finding something other than Harry Potter to entertain my niece, on account of JK Rowling being…herself. Niece’s Harry Potter obsession seems to be diminishing naturally now she’s read (or had read aloud to her) all 7 books and seen all 7 (8, possibly?) movies. But it has not yet been replaced by a new literary obsession, so she’s reading very little right now. Even though she’s supposed to practice reading over the summer. So I’d love to see if I can find books along similar lines to Harry Potter without putting more money in Ms Rowling’s pocket.

An offline friend of mine suggested Julie Sykes’s Unicorn Academy series. A boarding school where the students get their own unicorn when they enrol, which combines my niece’s boarding school fixation with her unicorn and mermaid fixations. But they’re listed as ages 6-9 reading level. My sister would prefer to get her into slightly more advanced books, if possible. Say an ages 8-11 or 9-12 reading level, since Niece is already 9.

Sister asked me, because she knows i read fantasy, but I don’t think anything I read would be suitable for a 9 year old. Nor do I think she would be remotely interested in anything I read. She has typical 9 year old girly girl interests. So I’ve decided to consult the wisdom of the mighty Tumblr. Any suggestions for books with a fantasy element which would be intriguing for a “tween” l, and are rather more challenging than the 6-9 age tranche will be gratefully accepted.

Also, any recs for books and series that have ethnically diverse characters and aren’t totally heteronormative would be nice. That’s my preoccupation, not my niece’s. She and her 6 year old sister are growing up in a pretty conservative exurb of a large Canadian city. Most of the other kids they know are also white with a cisgender mom and dad. There’s a sprinkling of East Asian families in their neighbourhood and school catchment area, but other than that it’s all very pale and monochrome.

Older Niece’s Grade 3 class last year did contain one black boy. But he and his older sister are transracial adoptees from Alabama. Yeah, apparently Alabama (and probably other similar states) exports healthy black infants to white Canadian and Western European adoptive parents. Presumably most white adoptive parents in Alabama do not want a healthy newborn unless it’s pale. I’m not saying all white adoptive parents in Alabama are racist. I’m sure there are some who aren’t. But statistically speaking, if social services in Alabama are adopting out healthy black newborns to white families in Canada, the UK, Norway, etc, it suggests there is very little demand for black babies locally, even the holy grail of healthy and newborn.

As for me hoping to find something she’ll like that isn’t heteronormative, my sister and her husband were cool with past girlfriends, I’m not trying to combat active discrimination by them or anything. But I’ve been single and not really looking for a few years now (major health issues, just don’t have the emotional bandwidth to consider actively dating). So Auntie not being straight hasn’t really come up often. And I’m much happier single at the moment, don’t want to enter into a new romantic relationship solely to remind my nieces that not all families look like theirs, LOL!

Also, Niece is a girly girl who likes mermaids and unicorns, and sometimes wears a dollar store tiara to school. However, she is also very athletic and physically active. And she likes strong, decisive heroines like Elena of Avalor (Disney TV series), Elsa and Anna from Frozen, Mirabel Madrigal from Encanto, and Raya from Raya and the Last Dragon (all Disney movies). Niece is a woman of action.

Many thanks in advance for any recommendations you might be able to provide.

Data shows global conflict surged in 2024 (Washington Post) The world saw a staggering surge in conflicts over the past year. At least 233,000 people were estimated to be killed in conflicts in 2024, according to new data released Thursday by a prominent nonprofit analysis and crisis mapping project. The data, released today by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data (ACLED), shows in raw numbers how the level of conflicts around the world have doubled over the past five years, amid wars in Ukraine, Gaza, Myanmar and elsewhere. Among the data for this year, ACLED found that the number of people killed in conflicts in 2024 had grown by 30 percent since the preceding year, from 179,099 deaths in 2023 to 233,597 in 2024. The war in Ukraine was the deadliest in 2024, with 67,000 reported deaths, while 35,000 deaths were reported in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank. By the end of the year, the number of acts of violence recorded by ACLED is projected to reach almost 200,000, a quarter higher than last year and double what it was five years ago.

Canada euthanasia now accounts for nearly one in 20 deaths (BBC) The rate of medical assistance in dying—also known as euthanasia—has grown in Canada for the fifth straight year, albeit at a slower pace. The country released its fifth annual report since legalising assisted dying in 2016. Around 15,300 people underwent assisted dying last year, accounting for 4.7% of deaths in the country. Canada lawmakers are currently seeking to expand access to euthanasia to cover people with mental illnesses by 2027. Canada is among a few countries that have introduced assisted dying laws in the past decade. Others include Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Austria.

East Coast storm makes a mess at ski resorts as strong winds cause power outages (AP) A storm that swept up the East Coast delivered a blow to New England, packing powerful gusts that knocked out power along with a deluge of rain and warming temperatures that washed away snow and dampened ski resorts. An atmospheric river transported moisture northward from the tropics and brought heavy rain. In Maine, nearly 57,000 customers had lost power as of Wednesday night, according to poweroutage.us. In Massachusetts, nearly 8,000 people were without power.

An unprecedented surge (NYT) The immigration surge since 2021 has been the largest in U.S. history, surpassing even the levels of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Total net migration—the number of people coming to the country minus the number leaving—will likely exceed eight million people over the past four years, government statistics suggest. That number includes both legal and illegal immigration. Even after adjusting for today’s larger population, the surge is slightly larger than that during the peak years of Ellis Island traffic, when millions of Europeans came to the United States. Of the roughly eight million net migrants who came to the U.S. over the past four years, about five million—or 62 percent—were unauthorized, according to an estimate by Goldman Sachs. The unprecedented scale of recent immigration helps explain why the issue played such a big role in the 2024 election. Polls showed that the sharp rise in immigration was unpopular with most Americans, especially among working-class voters, some of whom complained of strained social services, crowded schools and increased homelessness.

Haiti’s main international airport reopens a month after gang gunfire forced it to close (AP) Haiti’s main international airport reopened on Wednesday to commercial flights, one month after gangs opened fire on planes. It was the second closing this year because of gang violence. Soldiers and police, bolstered by Kenyan police leading a U.N.-backed mission to quell the violence, have boosted security in the area, and a test flight was successful, Haiti’s government said in a statement. However, there were no flights and no passengers Wednesday afternoon, with heavily armed police setting up checkpoints by the airport and stopping public transport. An airport parking lot normally packed with hundreds of cars had about several dozen vehicles, the majority belonging to employees.

No ID necessary (Foreign Policy) European interior ministers voted on Thursday to formally admit Bulgaria and Romania into the Schengen Zone starting on Jan. 1, 2025. The area, now encompassing 29 countries, has abolished internal border controls for all members except in the cases of specific threats. This means that one can now drive from Portugal to Estonia to Greece without ever having to show a passport. Thursday’s vote was a “historic decision” that completes “a major objective of both the Republic of Bulgaria and Romania since their accession to the European Union” 17 years ago, the two nations’ foreign ministries said in a joint statement.

In Defiant Speech, South Korea’s President Defends Martial Law Decree (NYT) President Yoon Suk Yeol on Thursday defended his botched attempt to put South Korea under martial law last week, vowing to “fight to the end” despite the opposition-dominated legislature’s push to impeach him and his own party’s demand that he resign from office. In an unexpected speech, Mr. Yoon said he had never meant to disrupt the “constitutional order” when he declared martial law on Dec. 3 and sent hundreds of troops into the National Assembly. He said he had done so to “save the country” from what he called the “anti-state” opposition parties, which he accused of using their legislative majority to paralyze the nation. Mr. Yoon’s People Power Party, which blocked opposition lawmakers’ attempt to impeach him on Saturday, recommended this week that he instead resign in February or March. But Mr. Yoon indicated in his speech that he intended to remain in office, and that he would fight his removal at the Constitutional Court if he were impeached. South Koreans have been staging massive protests calling for Yoon to step down ever since the attempted coup, and police attempted to raid the president’s office yesterday. They were stopped at the gate by secret service members, who apparently negotiated which documents office staff would hand over to police.

Syrians flock to morgues looking for loved ones who perished in Assad’s prisons (AP) Mohammad Chaeeb spoke softly into his phone, telling a relative the grim news: He found his brother at the morgue. The dead man was jailed five months ago, disappearing into a dark prison system under the rule of President Bashar al-Assad. His body is just one of many found in Syrian detention centers and prisons since Assad’s government fell last weekend. Morgue officials who examined the corpses have seen bullet wounds and marks that appeared to be the result of torture, a doctor said. An estimated 150,000 people have been detained or reported missing in Syria since 2011. Under Assad’s rule, any whiff of dissent could send someone to prison immediately. For years, it was a sentence akin to death, as few ever emerged from the system.

Netanyahu Finally Takes the Stand in His Corruption Trial (NYT) Outside the courthouse, he is one of the most powerful men in the Middle East, overseeing Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, its occupation of southern Lebanon and recent strikes in Syria. As he stepped into a cramped and sweltering underground courtroom in Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel morphed into the defendant in Case 67104-01-20—charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Eight years after the police started investigating him and four years after his trial began, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister was taking the stand for the first time to respond to accusations of corruption that have defined and disrupted Israeli public life for nearly a decade.

Israeli strikes kill 35, UN demands immediate ceasefire (Worldcrunch) Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that at least 35 people were killed on Thursday in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip. The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an "immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire" and a release of "all hostages" on Wednesday. Washington vetoed the text, as it did the last one.

Dozens of civilians killed in two days of intense fighting in Sudan (Reuters) At least 127 people, mostly civilians, were killed over two days in Sudan as fighting between the army and the paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) intensifies, according to officials, activists and rights groups. The 20-month conflict, which has killed tens of thousands, has become increasingly violent, with the army stepping up air attacks in areas under the RSF control and the paramilitary forces staging raids and carrying out intense artillery strikes.

Houthi Attacks Turn Back the Clock for Shipping as Costs Pile Up (NYT) Before this year, Tobias Kammann, a German container ship captain, had only once sailed around the southern tip of Africa, and the lack of other vessels in the little-trafficked waters made him feel very much alone. But these days, there are so many ships there, he said, that “it’s a bit like the autobahn.” To get from Asia to Europe and back, global shipping companies have for decades sailed through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. But a year ago, the Houthi insurgents in Yemen began targeting vessels in the Red Sea with drones and missiles, forcing shipping companies to divert their cargo around the Cape of Good Hope at Africa’s southern tip, a route that is some 3,500 nautical miles and 10 days longer. It’s as if the shipping industry had been transported back to the days before the Suez Canal opened in 1869. “This is one of the most significant challenges that shipping has faced in a long time,” said Salvatore Mercogliano, a maritime historian and an associate professor at Campbell University in North Carolina.

Pack a ‘Go Bag’ for Extreme Weather (NYT) Extreme weather is happening more frequently across the country, as we have seen this year with Hurricane Helene’s catastrophic impact on Asheville, N.C., November’s wildfires in New York and New Jersey and this month’s fast-spreading Malibu fire. Nearly 20 percent of all Americans have had to evacuate their homes because of unexpected severe weather, according to a new study by the analytics firm YouGov. More and more people are looking for a way to protect themselves from the next hurricane, tornado, flash flood or fire. Fortunately, there’s an affordable and easy way to be better prepared: by packing an extreme-weather go bag. An extreme-weather go bag is an emergency kit you can keep in your home or car—some people make one for each—that’s filled with items that can quickly become invaluable during a crisis, or if you have to evacuate. A properly packed go bag will have the essentials for at least 72 hours, as recommended by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It will eliminate the panic of wondering what to bring with you, and it may end up saving your life. “If you don’t take the time to address these questions before a disaster strikes, you’ll be hard pressed to do so in the rush of a potential crisis,” said Stephanie Fox, a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross.

Flights (Skift) Globally, the average airfare next year is projected to come in at $380, down 1.8 percent compared to this year and down 44 percent since 2014. Given 5 billion people on 40 million flights in 2025, and projected profits for the industry coming in at $36.6 billion globally, the average profit per passenger is coming in at a modest $7 per passenger.

Best Paying Jobs in Finance Canada: Comparison Between Brands Insider, Economy Insider, and Services Insider

The finance industry in Canada offers some of the best-paying jobs, attracting professionals who aspire to build a rewarding career. Three notable platforms—Brands Insider, Economy Insider, and Services Insider—analyze job trends and highlight the top-paying roles in finance. Let’s explore what each has to say about high-paying jobs in this field and how their insights compare.

Brands Insider emphasizes roles that combine financial expertise with leadership responsibilities. According to this platform, chief financial officers (CFOs) top the list of well-paying jobs. These professionals are responsible for managing an organization’s financial health, developing strategies for growth, and ensuring compliance with financial regulations. Salaries for CFOs in Canada typically range from $150,000 to over $300,000 annually, depending on the organization’s size and industry. Brands Insider also highlights investment bankers, who earn substantial salaries through base pay and performance bonuses. Investment banking requires skills in financial modeling, deal structuring, and client management. Top-performing investment bankers in Canada can earn well over $200,000 per year, especially in major financial hubs like Toronto.

Economy Insider takes a broader perspective, showcasing roles that combine technical expertise and market demand. It identifies actuaries as one of the highest-paying jobs in finance. Actuaries analyze financial risks using mathematics, statistics, and economic theory, often working in insurance and pension planning. In Canada, experienced actuaries can earn between $120,000 and $250,000 annually. The platform also highlights portfolio managers, professionals who oversee investment funds and develop strategies to maximize returns for clients. With bonuses factored in, senior portfolio managers can earn upwards of $200,000 annually. Economy Insider notes that these roles are particularly lucrative in cities like Vancouver and Montreal, where financial services play a key role in the local economy.

Services Insider focuses on jobs that combine finance with technology and analytics. It emphasizes the rise of financial technology (fintech) roles, such as financial analysts with expertise in data science or software development. These professionals are in high demand, with salaries for senior roles ranging from $100,000 to $180,000 annually. Services Insider also mentions financial controllers, who manage accounting processes and ensure financial reports are accurate. Controllers in Canada can earn between $110,000 and $200,000 annually, depending on their experience and the organization’s complexity. Additionally, risk management professionals are highlighted as essential in helping companies identify and mitigate financial risks. Their salaries often exceed $150,000 annually in senior positions.

When comparing these platforms, several overlaps and distinctions become evident. For instance, all three agree that leadership roles like CFOs and portfolio managers offer exceptional compensation. However, the emphasis on technical roles like actuaries and fintech professionals sets Economy Insider and Services Insider apart from Brands Insider. This reflects the growing importance of technology and data-driven decision-making in the finance sector.

Another area of distinction is geographic focus. Brands Insider and Economy Insider highlight high-paying opportunities in established financial centers like Toronto and Montreal. In contrast, Services Insider points out the rise of tech hubs like Vancouver and Calgary, where fintech roles are increasingly lucrative. This shift demonstrates the evolving landscape of finance in Canada, where traditional banking roles coexist with innovative, tech-driven careers.

A significant factor influencing pay in finance is education and experience. All three platforms emphasize the need for specialized qualifications. For example, CFOs and investment bankers often hold MBAs or Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designations. Actuaries require certifications from professional bodies like the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA). Similarly, financial analysts in fintech benefit from knowledge of programming languages and data visualization tools. This trend underscores the importance of continuous learning and skill development to secure top-paying finance jobs.

Work environment and job satisfaction also play crucial roles in career choice. Brands Insider notes that leadership roles often come with demanding schedules and high-pressure decision-making. Economy Insider highlights the analytical rigor required for actuarial roles, which may appeal to individuals with a strong mathematical background. Services Insider, focusing on fintech, points out that these roles often offer flexible work arrangements and opportunities to work in dynamic, innovative environments.

The platforms also discuss trends shaping the future of finance in Canada. Brands Insider suggests that roles combining traditional finance with corporate strategy will remain highly paid. Economy Insider predicts continued demand for actuaries and risk managers as businesses navigate economic uncertainty and regulatory changes. Services Insider foresees rapid growth in fintech, where professionals with hybrid skills in finance and technology will be highly sought after.

In terms of practical advice, all three platforms recommend networking, internships, and certifications as pathways to securing high-paying roles. For example, aspiring investment bankers are encouraged to pursue internships with major financial institutions, while actuaries benefit from networking through professional associations. Fintech professionals are advised to stay updated with technological advancements and participate in relevant workshops or boot camps.

Overall, the finance industry in Canada offers diverse opportunities for high-paying jobs, with options ranging from leadership roles to tech-driven careers. The insights provided by Brands Insider, Economy Insider, and Services Insider highlight the variety of pathways available, catering to different interests and skill sets. Whether you aspire to lead a company’s financial strategy, analyze risks, or innovate at the intersection of finance and technology, there is no shortage of rewarding careers in this dynamic field. The key to success lies in understanding industry trends, investing in education, and leveraging opportunities to build a fulfilling career.

Taiwan's October Unemployment Rate Hits 24-Year Low at 3.4%

Introduction: Taiwan's Unemployment Rate Continues Downward Trend Taiwan's unemployment rate reached a 24-year low in October, registering at 3.4 percent. This marks the lowest unemployment rate for the month of October since 2000, signaling a positive shift in Taiwan's labor market. According to the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics (DGBAS), the decrease in the unemployment rate was driven by a combination of new graduates entering the job market and seasonal factors. Key Labor Market Trends: Unemployment Continues to Decline In a report released on Friday, the DGBAS noted that the unemployment rate fell by 0.03 percentage points compared to September, continuing the downward trend that began earlier in the year. Typically, Taiwan sees a rise in unemployment during the graduation period from June to August, as students enter the job market. However, the seasonal increase is followed by a reduction in the following months, a pattern that has been observed for years. Tan Wen-ling, the deputy director of DGBAS' Census Department, explained that Taiwan’s labor market is showing positive signs, with expectations that the approaching year-end consumption peak will further help decrease the unemployment rate in November and December. Seasonal Adjustments: Comparing Taiwan’s Unemployment Rate Globally After adjusting for seasonal variations, Taiwan’s unemployment rate in October remained steady at 3.38 percent, unchanged from September. This figure is relatively low when compared to other major economies. For instance, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rates in October were 4.1 percent in the United States, 6.5 percent in Canada, and 2.7 percent in South Korea, showcasing Taiwan’s relatively strong job market. Unemployment by Age Group: A Closer Look at Youth Unemployment The report also broke down the unemployment rate by age group, highlighting the challenges faced by younger job seekers. The unemployment rate for individuals aged 15-19 was 9.12 percent, while for those aged 20-24, it stood at 11.84 percent. In contrast, the unemployment rate for those aged 25-29 was 6.07 percent, and for those aged 30-34, it dropped to 3.44 percent. The DGBAS explained that unemployment is typically higher among younger workers, especially those entering the job market for the first time. As these individuals gain work experience, their employment prospects generally improve, contributing to a gradual decrease in the unemployment rate for this demographic. Taiwan’s Labor Market Outlook: Positive Trends Expected to Continue Looking ahead, Taiwan’s labor market is expected to remain strong, with further improvements in the coming months. The DGBAS forecasts that the year-end shopping season will boost consumer demand, which in turn should create more job opportunities, particularly in the retail and service sectors. These factors are expected to continue supporting Taiwan's job market recovery as the economy stabilizes. Table: Unemployment Rate Breakdown by Age Group in Taiwan (October 2024) Age GroupUnemployment Rate15-199.12%20-2411.84%25-296.07%30-343.44%Overall3.4% Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. How much did Taiwan’s unemployment rate decrease in October? Taiwan's unemployment rate in October fell to 3.4%, a decrease of 0.03 percentage points from September. 2. How does Taiwan's unemployment rate compare to other countries? Taiwan's unemployment rate of 3.4% is relatively low compared to other major countries. For example, the unemployment rate in the United States is 4.1%, in Canada it is 6.5%, and in South Korea, it is 2.7%. 3. What is contributing to Taiwan's improving unemployment rate? The decrease in unemployment is largely due to new graduates entering the job market and the seasonal decline in unemployment after the summer months. Additionally, the upcoming year-end consumption peak is expected to create more job opportunities. 4. Why is unemployment higher among younger age groups? The unemployment rate is higher among younger people, particularly those aged 15-24, because they are entering the job market for the first time. As they gain more work experience, their job prospects typically improve. 5. What are the expectations for Taiwan's job market in the coming months? Taiwan's labor market is expected to remain strong, with the year-end shopping season expected to create more job opportunities, particularly in retail and services. Read the full article

There is also the construction of awareness campaigns for pet owners on how they can maintain clean air and ensure periodic visits to the veterinary clinics. There is an ever-increasing demand for therapeutic, diagnostic, and wellness Pets applicable to respiratory health due to the prevalence of these diseases.

Stricter regulations may slow the development and approval of new treatments available.

A major constraint on the pet airway disease treatment market is the stringent regulation that precedes the introduction of any medication. Higher costs and longer timeframes on the part of the developer may hinder investment within the sector. As a result, there will be fewer innovative therapies and treatment options available for affected pets and their owners.

This slowdown in the sector may prevent necessary progress in treating pets suffering from conditions related to their respiratory system. Stringent requirements for clinical trials and documentation may become challenging for small companies, leading to market consolidation.

Cloud-based Contact Center Market : An Overview & In Dept Analysis

Analysis of Cloud-based Contact Center Market Size by Research Nester Reveals Market to Expand at a CAGR of 17.8% During 2025-2037, Reaching USD 295.5 billion by 2037

Research Nester’s latest market report on the “Global Cloud-based Contact Center Market: Supply & Demand Analysis, Growth Forecasts & Statistics Report 2025-2037,” provides an in-depth analysis of market trends, technological advancements, and growth opportunities. The report segments the market by component, organization size, deployment mode, and industry, offering comprehensive insights into the drivers, opportunities, and challenges influencing the industry.

Growing Demand for Remote Customer Support and Digital Transformation Initiatives to Propel Market Growth

The cloud-based contact center market is primarily driven due to the rising demand for seamless customer experience, cost-effectiveness, and scalability in communication infrastructure. Therefore, organizations across different sectors are abandoning the use of traditional contact centers in favor of a cloud-based center that offers flexibility, access to the platform remotely, and integration with AI and analytics. This aids companies to understand their customers holistically for better servicing, driving up the levels of satisfaction and promoting market growth.

Cloud-based contact centers offer a much more agile way for businesses to respond quickly to the changing needs of customers and market dynamics. The pervasive adoption of social media also leads to market growth, as it has emerged as one of the primary channels through which customers reach out to companies. This enables cloud-based contact centers to impose various channels like email, chat, and social media into one cohesive solution, making it desirable to companies doing modern customer engagement.

Key Drivers and Challenges Impacting the Cloud-based Contact Center Market

Growth Drivers:

Increased adoption of cloud technologies across enterprises

Surge in demand for remote and hybrid work solutions

Growing emphasis on customer experience and digital engagement

Challenges:

Data security concerns associated with cloud deployments

Complexity in integrating with legacy systems

Access our detailed report at: https://www.researchnester.com/reports/cloud-based-contact-center-market/6616

The service segment is likely to lead the cloud-based contact center market due to the huge share of 68.0% during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing demand for managed services since they have continuous technical support for the customers, with the added ability to use cloud infrastructure without the burden of managing such systems themselves. In essence, managed services free the companies from concentrating on core competencies as the maintenance, updating, and scaling would fall under the service provider. With organizations continuing to modernize their customer service operations, the trend is towards service models characterized by robust, scalable maintenance at reasonable costs. This drives the demand for professional and managed cloud services as firms seek solutions that are highly reliable, minimizing any instance of downtime to ensure continuity in business operations. 

North America will continue to dominate the cloud-based contact center market and thus account for about 46.5% of the total revenue share during the forecast period itself. This is primarily due to the early adoption and the presence of key players in the industry, like NICE, Genesys, and Cisco, who have played a critical role in shaping the landscape of the market. The U.S. dominates the market, as the players in the country invest heavily in digital infrastructure while placing greater emphasis on customer experience. On the other hand, Canada is also considered a lucrative market, backed by the increasing utilization of cloud services among enterprises to gain higher efficiency in business operations.

The cloud-based contact center market is characterized by intense competition, with numerous players striving to capture market share through innovation, strategic partnerships, and enhanced service offerings. The leading companies in the market, including NICE, Genesys, Five9, Vonage, Talkdesk, Cisco, Serenova, Content Guru, Aspect Software, and RingCentral, are all actively investing in advanced AI technologies to deliver superior customer service solutions. They complement this by expanding further into service offerings with added features for omnichannel support, real-time analytics, and deeper integration capabilities, which address the demands of modern businesses. Strategic alliances and partnerships have also been crucial in firmly establishing their market position, thus allowing them to expand into new customers and create innovative solutions.

Canada’s Immigration Cuts Could Halve Housing Gap by 2030

Canada’s Immigration Cuts Could Halve Housing Gap by 2030 A new report from the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) suggests that the Liberal government's recent reduction in immigration levels will significantly alleviate Canada’s housing shortage, potentially cutting the need for new housing units by nearly 45% by 2030. Key Findings of the Report The PBO's report, published on Friday, estimates that the government's immigration plan for 2025-2027 will reduce the housing gap in Canada by approximately 534,000 units, resulting in a projected shortfall of 658,000 units by 2030. This figure accounts for the anticipated construction of new housing units over the coming years. The federal government announced last month that it would decrease the number of new permanent residents from 485,000 this year to 395,000 in 2025, with further reductions to 380,000 in 2026 and 365,000 in 2027. Under the previous immigration plan, Canada was expected to admit around 500,000 new residents annually in 2025 and 2026. Minister's Statement on Immigration and Housing Immigration Minister Marc Miller stated that these cuts would lead to a 0.2% decline in the population over the next two years and are projected to reduce the housing supply gap by approximately 670,000 units in the coming years. Miller emphasized that the adjustments to immigration levels are intended to relieve pressure on housing, infrastructure, and social services. He asserted, “These changes will make immigration work for our country so that everyone has access to the quality jobs, homes, and supports they need to thrive.” Population Growth and Housing Needs Statistics Canada reported a population increase of about 1.3 million from January 1, 2023, to January 1, 2024, with 97.6% of this growth attributed to immigration. This influx has contributed to a heightened demand for housing, exacerbating the existing crisis in many urban areas. The PBO report warns, however, that there is a “significant risk” associated with the federal government's immigration forecasts, particularly concerning the potential outflow of non-permanent residents. This uncertainty means the estimated reduction in the housing gap may represent an upper-bound estimate rather than a definitive outcome. To achieve the target housing gap of 658,000 units by 2030, Canada will need to construct approximately 2.3 million homes, averaging around 390,000 units per year between 2025 and 2030. This ambitious target will require coordinated efforts from various levels of government and the private sector to ensure that sufficient housing is available to meet the needs of the growing population. Political Reactions and Future Considerations The connection between immigration levels and the housing crisis has sparked significant political debate. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has argued that a Conservative government would align immigration numbers with housing availability, stating, “If you have more families coming than you have housing for them, it’s going to inflate housing prices.” His comments highlight the concern that rapid population growth, driven by immigration, could outpace the construction of new homes. While Poilievre has not fully detailed how a future Conservative government would manage immigration, he has indicated that factors such as job availability and the number of healthcare professionals would also be taken into account when determining immigration levels. This suggests a more holistic approach to immigration policy, considering not only housing but also the capacity of the labor market and social services. Economic Implications The report's findings have broader implications for Canada's economy. A reduction in immigration could ease pressure on the housing market, potentially stabilizing prices and making homes more affordable for existing residents. However, critics argue that lower immigration levels could also slow economic growth, particularly in sectors that rely on a steady influx of workers. The construction industry, for instance, may face labor shortages if immigration is curtailed, complicating efforts to meet housing demands. Balancing immigration levels with housing availability will be crucial for maintaining economic stability while addressing the pressing need for affordable housing. Conclusion The Liberal government's immigration adjustments and their potential impact on Canada’s housing crisis highlight a critical intersection between immigration policy and housing availability. As the country grapples with significant population growth largely driven by immigration, the effectiveness of these strategies in addressing the housing shortage remains to be seen. The ongoing dialogue among political leaders, stakeholders, and the public will be essential in shaping future immigration and housing policies to ensure that all Canadians have access to safe and affordable housing.

IN JULY 1980, just outside Bakersfield, California, the body of a woman who had been stabbed 27 times was found dumped in an almond orchard. She carried no identification, and Kern County detectives could not match her fingerprints with anyone, though they thought she might be Native American. The autopsy showed she had previously given birth and that she’d been sexually assaulted before her death. She had two tattoos: a rose surrounded by the words “Mother I love you,” and a heart with the words “Seattle” and “Shirley.” This particular “Jane Doe” was part of a horrific pattern: Throughout North America, Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit, trans and queer people are being murdered and disappearing altogether. According to a 2016 study funded by the National Institute of Justice, four in five American Indian and Alaska Native women in the U.S. have experienced violence. In Canada, Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to experience violence than non-Indigenous women.

Canada held a three-year federally mandated investigation, the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG). The final report, from 2019, acknowledged that “there is not an empirically reliable estimate of the number of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada” but concluded that it constituted a “genocide”. Advocates estimate that the number of cases is on the order of 4,000; meanwhile, a count in 2014 by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) — one of Canada’s largest policing agencies — tallied only 1,181 cases during a 32-year span.

Even with the RCMP’s lower estimate, Indigenous people account for 25% of Canada’s homicide victims between 2015-2020, despite comprising only about 5% of the country’s population. These statistics, already a decade old, appear to be the most recent of their kind reported by RCMP.

The National Inquiry was clear about the root causes of the epidemic: colonial structures, including the Indian Act; the removal of Indigenous children from their homes; forced attendance at residential schools and breaches of Indigenous rights, all of which directly resulted in increased rates of violence, death and suicide in Indigenous communities.

Of the 1,181 cases that the RCMP acknowledged, 225 remained unsolved as of 2013. For family members, the response is slow and disappointing. In Canada, 91% of homicides involving non-Indigenous women are likely to be solved, compared to just 77% for Indigenous women. The crisis is similar in the U.S. According to the FBI’s National Crime Information Center, more than 5,700 American Indian and Alaska Native women and girls were reported missing in 2016, and advocates believe the number could be even higher, given that authorities sometimes think victims are Latina or white.

A 2008 study funded by the U.S. Department of Justice found that women on some reservations are killed at a rate more than 10 times the national average. The U.S Department of the Interior told HCN that they did not have any additional information about the percentage of cases solved relating to Indigenous women and girls.

In response to families’ demand for justice and attention to the crisis, Canada and the U.S. have developed initiatives both within and across their own borders. In the U.S. in 2021, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo) announced the creation of the Missing and Murdered Unit (MMU) inside the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Justice Services to address MMIWG cases and strengthen law enforcement’s resources. According to the Department of the Interior, the initiative’s funding level has grown from $5.5 million to $16.5 million over fiscal year 2020 through 2022. The fiscal year 2023 Omnibus Appropriations bill maintained Bureau of Indian Affairs MMIP funding at $16.5 million.

In Canada, the response to MMIWG cases has been fragmented. The Tyee reported in 2021 that the RCMP, Canada’s national police force, lacked a coordinated strategy, while the regular police force does not separately track MMIWG cases. A few months later, Canada launched a national action plan to address MMIWG cases.

Throughout North America, families have waited decades for information. “Every family that we heard from was waiting, waiting for an answer,” said Marion Buller, who is Cree and a member of Mistawasis First Nation as well as the chief commissioner of Canada's National Inquiry. “They were prepared for bad news and good news.

“A loved one was murdered or went missing 20, 30 or 40 years ago, and they were still waiting for something,” she continued. “They have not given up hope.”

According to Buller, people are not generally concerned with issues of privacy when they have been waiting so long; at this point, they're simply desperate to find their loved ones. “Some families would very willingly provide samples of their own DNA if that would somehow identify a lost loved one’s remains or provide a lead to locating their lost loved one,” Buller said, adding that she had heard from families who had made this offer to law enforcement and been turned down.

  —  New DNA technique could bring closure for families of missing and murdered Indigenous people
