It cites high rates of migration, poor housing lacking central heating and running water, and limited urban-like amenities, urging expanded programs beyond housing to reverse rural decline.

No More Royal Armed Forces Names Replace Royal With Canadian Arm
Defence Minister Hellyer announced in Commons that the unified services will be renamed the Canadian Armed Forces and the word royal will be dropped.
