Petition seeks free hospital parking in Canada House
A petition e-492 presented in the House of Commons urges the federal health and transport ministers to enforce the Canada Health Act with provinces to ensure adequate free parking at medical facilities. It cites long hospital visits and calls for identification of emergency patients using metered parking. Authorities note parking funds cover operating costs and that federal money does not fund parking.

Christmas pets as gifts seen as harmful impulse buys
Hatters are urged not to adopt on impulse for Christmas. SPCA executive director Katie Ayres warns pets are long term commitments of 10 to 15 years, while Alberta Pound and Rescue Centre’s Kaylee Getz notes holiday stress and hazards for animals. Both say adoptions should be a prepared family decision and not a rushed present.
