Dental plan but no dentist visit, synagogue attack, is it time to stop the time change, and more
Description
More than five million Canadians are signed up to the federal dental plan, but nearly half of them have yet to see a dentist. The national plan subsidizes the cost of the visit. But there’s a catch — dentists are allowed to charge more.
And: On the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, an attack kills two people at a synagogue in northern England. People were gathered for Yom Kippur services when a man drove a car into a crowd, then began stabbing people.
Also: Spring forward, fall back, stay still. Twice a year, more and more people are asking, why do we keep doing this to ourselves? One MP says it’s time to pick a time — and establish a set clock that would hold year round.
Plus: The Liberal government unveils agency to speed up military procurement, autoworkers in Oshawa brace for more layoffs, the societal costs of wildfires, and more.
