SPOTLIGHT
Featured stories, interviews, and moments that matter — a closer look at what’s making waves.
Failing the Frontlines rips away the myth of Canada’s universal healthcare to reveal crumbling hospitals, sweltering palliative wards with no AC, failed elevators, hallway medicine, and nurses at breaking point. From Newfoundland’s near-bottom national ranking to damning reports by C.D. Howe and Accreditation Canada, the evidence shows a system where politicians fund photo ops while patients suffer. This is the real crisis — and it’s hiding in plain sight.
To Have & To Hold dives into the mounting legal and political threats against LGBTQ+ rights, sparked by Kim Davis’s latest petition to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her challenge to Obergefell v. Hodges — the ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the U.S — could unravel decades of progress, putting millions of couples at risk.
This fight isn’t just American. The ideological ripple effects are crossing the border, emboldening anti-LGBTQ+ activists and far-right movements in Canada. This SPOTLIGHT FEATURE exposes how fragile these hard-won rights remain, the strategies being used to attack them, and why vigilance is critical to safeguarding equality for all.
To Have & To Hold is an urgent investigation into the forces trying to rewrite the future of marriage and LGBTQ+ rights on both sides of the border.
