Global- Patients waiting more than a day to be admitted in Winnipeg hospitals: ‘It’s absolutely terrifying’
Data released by Shared Health from May 4 show the average total wait time for patients who end up being admitted, from triage and registration to being placed in a medicine bed, was 22.1 hours at the Grace, nearly 29 hours at Health Sciences Centre and a whopping 31.5 hours at St. Boniface.
“As the numbers presented are averages, some patients will unfortunately wait longer periods of time for admission – some significantly so – while others may have shorter waits,” a spokesperson from Shared Health said.

Gizmodo- Netflix Kneecapped Its Own Efforts to Champion Diverse Shows, Axed Writers Say
Alongside 150 full time employees Netflix axed Tuesday, dozens of contract writers were shown the door. Bitter tweets flooded in after the job cuts were announced. Many of those writers were part of Netflix’s large-scale diversity communications initiatives, and they said that the struggling streaming giant had left those departments, like the staffers who used to work there, gutted.

Peter Hitchens- Why England should leave the UK instead of persuading the others to stay and embrace a golden future
What are we waiting for? All the other nations of the UK are set on tearing themselves away from England. I have given up trying to persuade them to stay. Let us leave them instead. Have a referendum if you must, but I reckon that any party that puts an English secession from the UK in its general election manifesto will win a smashing majority. You could not call this ‘independence’ since England has never depended on the other countries in these islands. I would call it the Restoration of England, in recollection of that other great moment in our history when Oliver Cromwell’s nightmare republican junta crumbled in 1660 and we returned with relief to our ancient laws and liberties.

Watch out for the bears
If anyone thought that the economy could be shut down for two years, inundated with green energy boondoggles, get involved in a war and just seamlessly recover, we have news for you. It turns out that the economy is not just like a VCR where you can hit “pause” and “play” as often as you like.
US stock futures slumped again, extending yesterday’s brutal selloff that erased $1.5 trillion in market value on concerns about everything from slowing growth, to Chinese lockdowns, to soaring inflation and tightening monetary policy. Contracts on the S&P 500 were down 1.2% 7:30 a.m. in New York, having earlier dropped to 3,856, one point away sliding 20% from January’s all time highs, and triggering a bear market.
