But Will Canada Get into the Game?
Thanks to a game-changing new drug, the race to end HIV and AIDS might finally be approaching the finish line. And the longer Canada warms the bench, the more our chance to lead slips away.
Lenacapavir is a long-acting HIV treatment developed, funded, and approved in the U.S. earlier this year. It was recently granted to the Global Fund to bring to vulnerable communities all over the world. It has almost 100% efficacy at...

A Historic First and a New Global Agenda
Change is coming on the international stage, and Africa is proving itself to be a central player.
100 days from now, South Africa will be hosting the G20: one of the most influential international forums. This is generating a lot of attention, and for good reason. It will be the first ever G20 chaired by an African Member State, and we can expect it to mark a big shift in powerful conversations. Canada...

Public opinion in Canada has been on the move in 2025. Voter priorities are shifting quickly, and this election is evolving right alongside them. Political experts agree that the final outcome may come down to just a handful of highly competitive ridings! Even polling in those could change before Canadians head to the polls on April 28.
So, what exactly is a battleground riding?
These are electoral districts where two or more candidates are in a tight race, meaning voters in...
