OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 27, 2024 /CNW/ - Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) are largely preventable, treatable, and in many cases curable.

Key Points: 
  • OTTAWA, ON, Feb. 27, 2024 /CNW/ - Sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) are largely preventable, treatable, and in many cases curable.
  • However, rates of sexually transmitted infections in Canada have increased over the last decade—gonorrhea rates have doubled since 2012, and syphilis rates are five times what they were.
  • That is why today, the Honourable Mark Holland, Minister of Health, launched the Government of Canada's sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBI) action plan 2024-2030 and announced $2.45 million in funding to address STBBI in Canada.
  • The Action Plan will continue to work towards reducing STBBI related stigma, to prevent new and reoccurring infections and connect people to testing, prevention, treatment and care."

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SB 556, legislation that gives people who live near oil wells and have developed cancer, respiratory illnesses and birth defects the right to hold oil drillers liable for their illnesses, was held without a vote on the suspense file by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The bill can no longer proceed this year.

Key Points: 
  • Senator Anthony Portantino used his power to stop the bill without a hearing or vote.
  • Oil drillers qualified a referendum that put SB 1137 on hold until voters vote on it in November 2024.
  • Portantino sided with the drillers against the community he represents and allowed oil drillers to continue to recklessly drill without accountability for their actions.
  • We thank Senator Gonzalez for her work to hold the oil industry responsible for the harm they cause.
