Quebec hospital wants 1,000 patients to come in for HIV, Hepatitis tests
The Québec health authorities are demanding that 1,000 patients from a Lévis hospital come in for both HIV, and Hepatitis B & C tests after finding out that the equipment so often used within the hospital was not properly, not to mention frequently sterilized. A situation like this raises many health concerns for patients and doctors alike.
"The risk is small, but the potential infections are important, and they are treatable. So we decided to engage in preventive screening" Said Francois Aumont, the hospital's director of professional services.
Aumont also claims that although the infections are small, they can potentially be highly contagious ones that spread fast and easily to other patients, and even doctors. Which is why they deem to be treated as soon as possible.

Admitting that the problem has existed for a while, does still exist today, and will most likely continue in the future, Paulson did not deny that the problem is serious, and said that getting rid of the sexual harassment occurring within the force should be taken care of right away.

Justin Bieber murder plot foiled
Two men from Albuquerque, New Mexico (Mark Staake, 41 and his Nephew Tanner Ruane, 23) are suspected to have taken part in the plot to murder Canadian superstar Justin Bieber, along with his bodyguard. They were arrested in late November, with the suspicions that they were plotting to commit a murder.
Dana Martin, the 'leader' of the whole plan admitted to have hiring two hit men to assist him in this plot while doing his time in prison, Martin planned to strangle and kill Bieber, along with his bodyguard and two other unrelated victims with a paisley tie, which is strongly similar to the way Martin killed his previous victims before being sent to prison. Along with killing them, Martin planned to castrate each victim, selling their 'private parts' for $2,500 each.
Their plan was to drive to Justin Bieber's concert in New York city, where they would proceed with the plan to kill all four targeted people, Including Justin, but unfortunately for the hit men, they ended up taking a wrong turn whilst on route to New York, driving instead straight to Vermont, Canada, where they were then caught by Vermont police and arrested. Martin confessed to having a gruesome obsession with Bieber, having a tattoo of him on his leg and wanting him dead due to his extreme "measure of fame".

Canada and Mexico work together to eliminate a Visa requirement for Mexican visitors
Currently in Ottawa, the Canadian federal government is working in partnership
with Mexico to help try and eliminate the need for Mexicans to have a Visa in
order to visit Canada. However, Ottawa is only willing to do this if they are
guaranteed that they won't be bombarded with more 'bogus refugee
claims'
Stephen Harper was consulted with this issue, along with multiple trade and economic matters. With that being said, the federal Government's Bill C-31, which is now a law, makes it easier for Canada to deport people from countries that are seen as rather safe, which Mexico is considered to be. The Government believes that this legislation will sooner or later help get rid of the need for Mexicans to have Visas before trying to visit Canada.
