Alberta teachers call for more Syrian refugee student funding-[CBC]-May 21, 2016-yahoonews
More than 400 teachers are in Calgary this weekend for the annual representative assembly of the Alberta Teachers' Association.The teachers are debating more than 200 resolutions but one of the major topics is Syrian refugee funding.The ATA says it needs more money to properly teach the more than 1,000 students who are registered in public schools across the province.ATA President Mark Ramsankar says there are a variety of issues that need to be addressed."Those include language barriers obviously coming in," Ramsankar said."Many of these children have not had formal schooling so adjusting to a formal school setting becomes an issue. There are quite a variety of social and mental issues that are associated with moving from a country and having the stability of your life … becoming a refugee, coming to a new country, it has an emotional impact on children."Education Minister David Eggen said the current funding model is going to remain in place."The provincial government, we provide $5,000 dollars or so per refugee student. And we continue that on for a period of five years. We have a good track record here for accommodating new Canadians," Eggen said."We have done this for generations in Alberta schools. It is part of who we are as Albertans to welcome and to bring new people into our province."The conference wraps Monday.
Trudeau defends Nickelback, taking in Syrian refugees in Daily Show interview-[CBC]-May 21, 2016-yahoonews
In the frenzy that was 'Elbowgate,' there's a good chance you might have missed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's appearance on the Daily Show — Trudeau's sit-down interview with correspondent Hasan Minhaj aired the same night as the fracas on the House of Commons floor.The interview was part of a series that satirically scrutinized Canada's refugee policies, mainly the decision to take in Syrian refugees.Minhaj — who travelled to Ottawa for the segment — spent most of the time fuelling fears about the refugees and grilling interviewees about the policy's impact on the U.S."You're going to let these brown ice walkers go nuts up in the north, and then they're going to cross the border and kill all Americans," he says.Half the segment is devoted to Minhaj's interview with Trudeau, which opens with the correspondent asking, "Why are you trying to destroy North America?" The pre-taped interview took place inside the Parliamentary Library.Though the focus was refugees, the two touched on a wide range of topics, from hockey to Nickelback. Here are a few of the highlights.-'Roasting' Trudeau-Almost every question Minhaj lobs at Trudeau is a joke or pokes fun at the prime minister. In fact, Minhaj says he told the Canuck border guard that he was coming to Canada roast the prime minister — a statement he takes quite literally."What if I came here to literally roast you?" Minhaj asks. Trudeau gives a deadpan reply: "You might find that a little more difficult than you think."Minhaj then asks Trudeau if he is going to kick his ass. The two settle the debate with Minhaj agreeing to not "literally roast" the prime minister.-Toilet talk-The conversation veers into the scatological, when Minjah likens the immigration system to a high school party. He talks about locking the doors on certain students before they come and "leave some upper-deckers upstairs" — a foul party trick played on unsuspecting toilets.Unflinchingly, Trudeau replies: "As soon as you're locking doors, you're narrowing your circle. And your circle gets smaller and smaller until it's finally just yourself and your buddy and you've got no one to party with."But when he fails to mention the toilet trick, Minjah presses him — getting Trudeau to admit that he knows what it means."Yeah, it's not pretty," Trudeau says. "I think we maybe we have better faith in the people we invite over."-'The right thing to do'-Minjah offers Trudeau a faux Stanley Cup made out of tinfoil if the prime minister promises to stop taking in refugees. Trudeau turns down the offer, telling Minjah "it's the right thing to do," but takes the trophy anyhow.The interview takes a bit of a serious turn when Minjah asks about the security risks of taking in refugees, referencing the attacks in Paris and Belgium.Trudeau defends the policy, saying there is risk in everything."The best counter to the kind of radicalization and marginalization that we've seen in other parts of the world is to create an inclusive society where everyone, including especially Muslim Canadians, have every opportunity to succeed, just like anybody else," he says.-Nickelback fan?-We knew that former prime ministerStephen Harper was into Nickelback, but the Daily Show interview shed some insight into Trudeau's stance on the divisive rock band out of Hanna, Alta.Minjah calls the influx of refugees "the greatest Canadian terrorist threat since September 11, 2001" — saying that's the day Nickelback released their chart-topping album, Silver Side Up. It includes their hit song, How You Remind Me.Trudeau's reply? "You know what, Nickelback's alright." This comment, more than any others made during the interview, triggered quite a few heated responses on Twitter.The Daily Show has been covering Trudeau since he won the federal election last October. Earlier this month, show host Trevor Noah told reporters that he was "completely in love" with the prime minister.
Don't forget palliative care in discussing future of assisted death: experts-[The Canadian Press]-Sheryl Ubelacker, The Canadian Press-May 22, 2016-yahoonews
TORONTO - With the intense focus on the looming legalization of physician-assisted dying, the kind of help most Canadians facing death will actually seek for easing their suffering seems to have quietly faded into the background.Yet palliative care is intended to prevent the very end-of-life physical and psychological distress that are at the heart of the Supreme Court of Canada's decision to allow patients to pursue medical aid in dying — if they so choose."They're not the same thing, but people seek them out for the same reasons," Dr. James Downar says of assisted dying and palliative care."It's all about quality of life, not quantity. It's about autonomy and taking control of their end-of-life circumstances."On June 6, physician-assisted dying will become legal in Canada, although who will be eligible and under what circumstances is still unclear. The Liberal government's proposed law on the issue is still being hotly debated by MPs and could face amendments once it moves to the Senate.In countries such as Switzerland and the Netherlands, where medical aid in dying has been legal for decades, only two to three per cent of all deaths occur with a doctor's help, says Downar, a palliative care specialist at the University Health Network (UHN) in Toronto.In Oregon, one of a handful of U.S. states that allows patients to seek assisted death, that figure is a mere 0.2 per cent. And 90 per cent of those who received help to end their lives were enrolled in palliative-care programs, he says."Everyone wants the choice; very few people will take it," says Downar, who nevertheless supports a patient's right to decide when and how their life will end."Regardless of whether you legalize or don't legalize assisted death, you still need to develop a robust system of palliative care to treat the 97 to 99.8 per cent of the population who are going to take something other than assisted death as their option."And you certainly don't want anyone to ever take that option simply because they didn't have access to palliative care," stresses Downar, noting that such end-of-life services are not equally available in all parts of the country.Providing relief from pain and other symptoms is a key principle of palliative care, which was originally developed for terminal cancer patients. Care teams often include nurses, physical therapists, social workers and chaplains, who focus on providing comfort and support as death approaches.Effective pain control was of utmost importance for Cameron Douglas when his wife Lynn was moved from the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre to Kensington Hospice, a homey 10-bed palliative-care facility in downtown Toronto, in mid-March 2013.Diagnosed three years earlier with breast cancer that would spread to her bones and later her lungs, his wife had been stoically undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments — even continuing to work from her bed at Princess Margaret as her health continued to decline, says Douglas."After a period of time, it became evident that we weren't going to win the battle. When we went into the Kensington, we knew it was just a case of time."Douglas's reference to "we" isn't accidental: palliative-care programs are designed to support both patients and their loved ones."You realize that it's not just the patient that's in it, it's (also) the family and close friends," says Douglas, whose two sons Scott and Todd, both in their 30s, were at their mother's side throughout her stay in hospice. They took turns with their father bunking in overnight as her life ebbed away."Having gone through it, I think it is marvellous what palliative caregivers do to make things as comfortable, not only for the patient, but for the family members as well," he says, adding that staff encourage loved ones to bring photos and other mementoes of home into a patient's room."They really reach out. They were terrific at conveying concern, but also care. And comfort was a huge part of what we were looking for for Lynn in the final stages."Part of the role of palliative care providers is also to help patients through what's often called "existential distress," which includes anxiety over their worsening illness and fear about their impending death.Dr. Gary Rodin, head of psychosocial oncology and palliative care at UHN, says facing the end of one's life from an incurable disease, for instance, can be a dehumanizing experience.The person's sense of identity is usually diminished and their ability to function independently is progressively eroded, leaving them feeling vulnerable and alone, he says.Beyond the fear of physical suffering as they get sicker, patients can also experience distress over such questions as what meaning their life has had; will they be alone when death takes them; and for some, concerns about God and an afterlife.At UHN, which includes the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Rodin and his team have created a program called Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully, CALM for short, which has been taught to palliative care providers all over the world.Among CALM's objectives is giving patients the chance to discuss with staff caregivers their fears and concerns related to dying, subjects that family and friends may not feel comfortable hearing about — let alone broaching."It's not about pushing the patient to talk about anything they don't want to talk about, it's just about creating opportunities. And people actually feel relief in being able to talk," Rodin says. "Sometimes by talking about it with our team, patients can then talk about it with their family."We need to treat the person, as well as the cancer."For Douglas, being with his wife of 39 years in the gentle and dignified surroundings of the hospice gave the couple the opportunity for some intimate end-of-life conversations — and time to say goodbye.Lynn Douglas slipped away, her husband and sons at her side, on April 23, 2013, a little over a month after entering Kensington Hospice. She would have turned 64 the next day."I had an opportunity to express my love to her many times. My two boys did, as well," says her husband, his voice catching with emotion as he describes how being together as a family further strengthened the bond with his sons."I am so thankful for that time we had together."Follow @SherylUbelacker on Twitter.
Prince may have died hours before he was found: report-[Agence France-Presse]-May 22, 2016-yahoonews
Washington (AFP) - Prince may have died at least six hours before his body was found, and was given fluids intravenously the day before he died, The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported, as new details emerged about the singer's final hours.Autopsy and toxicology results have yet to be released, but the Star Tribune on Saturday cited sources as saying that Prince grew increasingly agitated following his emergency for an opioid overdose on April 15, despite putting on a calm appearance.Citing sources with knowledge of the investigation, the newspaper said a responding paramedic told staff, law enforcement officers and others at the scene that Prince may have been dead for at least six hours before he was found unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley Park complex on April 21.Authorities have said that the pop star was alone at the time of his death, and that they don't believe suicide or foul play was involved.Prince's agitated state led one of his staff members to call someone in New York who had recently worked with the musician, seeking advice, on April 20, according to the Star Tribune.Later that day, Prince was given an intravenous treatment at a local hospital, the report said, citing a source with knowledge of the investigation.The newspaper said it was unclear whether Prince was given the intravenous treatment before or after a doctor treating him for withdrawal symptoms made a house call on the evening of April 20.
