Most Canadian post-secondary students experienced virtual learning of some sort during the pandemic.

Online learning can offer greater accessibility for students.

Since joining, Suthers has found an online community of other paramedics and military people who are part of his study group. He said he's found the quality of online learning better than in person. Patrick Suthers is a full-time paramedic and current student in the Queen's University online bachelor of health sciences program.

According to a 2018 national study from the Canadian Digital Learning Research Association, there were more than 1.3 million online course registrations at Canadian post-secondary institutions in 2016-2017, with that number expected to rise in the coming years. And in a soon-to-be published 2021 survey from the association, 78 per cent of institutions said that more fully online courses were either very or somewhat likely for winter 2022.

Secret trackers and hidden cameras expose how some movers could be ripping you off | CBC NewsA group of moving companies is offering low quotes and then increasing the total cost of moves by thousands of dollars — in some cases grossly over-estimating the weight of goods to be moved, a CBC Marketplace investigation has found. Twas ever thus. Contract is a contract, if the final price is agreed to and signed that’s it. Read the fine print though, lots of pricks out there. Pick a reputable mover with a long history, like Taylor Mayflower, AMJ Campbell, etc. and get an in person quotation with detailed contract. And yes you will have to pay more if you exceed the agreed weight, but it should all be spelled out up front.

Under a foreign flag: Canadian veterans explain why they're fighting for Ukraine | CBC NewsIt's a phenomenon that Canada hasn't seen much of since the Spanish Civil War — Canadians volunteering to risk their lives for another country, and for a cause.

Alberta premier says province drafting relief plan to address soaring gas pump prices | CBC NewsAlberta Premier Jason Kenney says his government is working to provide financial relief to consumers being hammered by high gas prices at the pump. Extra few dollars at the pump so he can blame Trudeau. Nothing about the delivery fees on utilities that are twice the amount of the bill. $10/day childcare would be a way bigger benefit.
