Canada lags on mental health, Moscow’s nuclear doctrine, men’s family shelter, and more
Listen now
Description
A mental health report card shows Canada lags behind other G7 nations in mental health spending, and 2.5 million Canadians aren’t getting the help they need. And: After 1,000 days, a new phase of the war in Ukraine takes shape. Russia says Ukraine fired U.S.-supplied long-range missiles into its territory for the first time. Moscow also released its nuclear doctrine — lowering the threshold for when the country would use nuclear weapons. Also: A shelter is opening in Calgary that’s only the second of its kind in Canada. It’s to protect victims of intimate partner violence. But it’s not for women — it’s for men and their children. Domestic abuse against men is on the rise, but it’s a crime that isn’t often exposed. Plus: Trudeau at the G20, Canadians less supportive of immigration, COP day 9, Randy Boissonnault under pressure, and more.
