Canada’s healthcare became the world’s digital health laboratory. Now Europe is taking notice

Canada's healthcare system may be under pressure, but its decades-long experience with digital transformation is becoming a model for Europe and beyond.

The Hidden Components Powering the Renewable Energy Revolution

A rooftop solar system looks simple: panels, an inverter, a battery and a few cables. But beneath that simplicity lies a bill of materials thousands of lines long, where tiny current sensors, magnetic cores, gate drivers, capacitors and connectors quietly determine efficiency, safety and lifespan. These overlooked components—not the solar panels themselves—are why today's residential solar systems are smaller, smarter and far more reliable than those of a decade ago.

Teen Farmerettes were Canada’s answer to Victory Gardens during wartime food shortages

It is a wake-up call to teen girls on TikTok planning their next Coachella outfit or trip to Sephora: During the Second World War, thousands of young men left family farms to enlist, but the crops still needed planting and harvesting.
