Police seek boy struck by car while riding e-scooter in Mission, B.C., Monday
Police are hoping to identify and ensure the welfare of a boy who was struck by a car while riding his e-scooter in Mission, B.C., Monday morning.
The boy had been travelling on the sidewalk when he collided with a driver turning into the parking lot of Mission Secondary School around 8:30 a.m., Mission RCMP said in a statement. While the driver remained at the scene and spoke with police, the boy left before he could be identified.
'The boy reportedly struck the hood area of the car and flew a considerable distance off his scooter, but got up on his own and carried on his way,' the statement said.
Officers have contacted various local elementary and middle schools to identify the boy, described by police as being 12 to 14 years old and wearing a grey or black hoodie with red writing on it, but have so far been unsuccessful.
Parents whose child meets this description are advised to check whether the boy needs medical attention, before contacting the Mission RCMP with information regarding the incident.
'Police want to ensure he is OK, and to get more information from him about what happened,' Mounties said.
Parents or any other witnesses with information relating to the event are asked to contact police at 604-826-7161, and quote file number 25-6339.

House of Commons hit by cyberattack from 'threat actor': internal email
The House of Commons and Canada's cybersecurity agency are investigating a significant data breach caused by an unknown "threat actor" targeting employee information. According to an internal email obtained by CBC News, the House of Commons alerted staff on Monday that there was an information breach. It said a malicious actor was able to exploit a recent Microsoft vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to a database containing information used to manage computers and mobile devices. Some of the information obtained by the hacker is not available to the public, according to the email. That includes employees' names, job titles, office locations and email addresses, as well as information regarding their House of Commons-managed computers and mobile devices. Canada's Communications Security Establishment (CSE) said it is aware of the incident and is working with the House of Commons to provide support, but could not confirm who was behind the attack. The CSE defines a threat actor as a group or individual that aims "with malicious intent" to "gain unauthorized access to or otherwise affect victims' data, devices, systems and networks." A recent threat report from the CSE found that adversarial nations, including the People's Republic of China (PRC), Russia and Iran, are increasingly behind cyber threats to Canada. But the agency said it's too early to tell who — or what — was behind this breach. "Attribution of a cyber incident is difficult. Investigating cyber threat activity takes resources and time, and there are many considerations involved in the process of attributing malicious cyber activity," said the CSE in a statement. The cyberattack happened on Friday, according to the email sent to employees. It calls on employees and members of the House of Commons to be especially vigilant as information accessed during the breach could be used in scams, or to target and impersonate parliamentarians. In a statement, the House of Commons said it was working with national security partners to investigate the matter, but would not disclose information — including how many employees are affected — citing the ongoing probe. Sharp increase in cyber threats The most recent national cyber threat assessment from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security reports that Canada is considered a "valuable target" for criminals and state adversaries looking to disrupt systems. It also found a "sharp increase in both the number and severity of cyber incidents" over the past two years. "State adversaries are getting bolder and more aggressive," wrote Rajiv Gupta, the head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security. "Cybercriminals driven by profit are increasingly benefiting from new illicit business models to access malicious tools and are using artificial intelligence to enhance their capabilities." The report says China presents the most sophisticated and active cyber threat to Canada, noting that over the past four years, at least 20 networks associated with Government of Canada agencies and departments have been compromised by PRC threat actors.

How 'pervasive' is racism in health care? This B.C. researcher gathers the stories of Black, Indigenous people
Ashley Wilkinson has found racism is an ongoing challenge in health-care settings in Canada, which is why the PhD candidate at the University of Northern British Columbia is getting the first-hand accounts of Black and Indigenous people who say they've experienced it. For her doctoral work, Wilkinson, who's also a research co-ordinator at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., has been interviewing unhoused people in various Canadian communities to learn if racism is impacting their efforts to get proper health care. "I've heard everything from micro-aggressions, racial slurs, physical violence, a lot of assumptions being made about people [regarding] substance use and the challenges that they're facing, just based on the fact that they're Indigenous," said Wilkinson. Across the board, all of these interactions have made people very hesitant to go back and seek care. So far, she's met with clients at Positive Living North in Prince George, B.C., and the Calgary Drop-In Centre. This week, she's in Thunder Bay to speak with people at Shelter House, which offers overnight accommodations on the city's south side. "Across the board, all of these interactions have made people very hesitant to go back and seek care," Wilkinson said of the health-care experiences shared with her. "There's been a lot of mistrust historically as well for these communities, and so the experiences that they're having really do have an impact on their care-seeking behaviours moving forward." There is ample research that supports Wilkinson's findings. For example, according to data from a 2024 Statistics Canada survey, about one in five Indigenous people reported experiencing unfair treatment, racism or discrimination from a health-care professional over the previous year. As well, a Public Health Agency of Canada report from 2020 found that discrimination against Black communities is deeply entrenched in the country's institutions, policies and practices — as a result of European colonization in Africa and the legacy of slavery, which was legal in Canada until 1834. Wilkinson hopes her research can be used to help inform public health-care policies, but she also wants the clients and communities that have participated to have access to her findings. "We know that often, long reports sit on shelves and they don't get read. They're also not accessible to community individuals for whom English might not be their first language or individuals with varying literacy levels." The way in which research on this topic has been done has itself also caused harm among these populations, she added, "so I really want to have this project done in a good way where people walk away feeling like, 'I am doing something' with that story that they've shared." Making research accessible In B.C., since a lot of research is based in Vancouver, Wilkinson wanted to also hear from people in smaller communities, she said. As Thunder Bay is a central hub in northwestern Ontario, many clients at Shelter House have participated in research, said Champagne Thomson, the organization's development manager. "We've seen a very large influx in interested individuals wanting to participate, which is incredible, as well as some individuals who have shared their experiences and said, 'This is the first time anyone's ever taken me seriously. "'This is the first time I've been able to sit across the table with another racialized individual who's listening to me and not speculating about, was it racism or was it not.'" Wilkinson has interviewed about two dozen people so far, with the goal of conducting between 45 and 60 interviews. To make her research accessible, Wilkinson said, she plans to create infographics and shorter, plain language-style reports for participants. "Thunder Bay is a hotspot for a lot of research, and I don't think a lot of it ends up coming back to the individuals that that information was extracted from," added Thomson. "When we're planning, when we're looking at things, when we're investing in different institutions and types of care, I think it's really important that individuals with these lived experiences are able to see their contributions reflected in how that goes forward." 'It's about giving something back' Building relationships is a big part of Wilkinson's project. In Prince George, after interviewing individuals, she participated in harm reduction outreach. Across Calgary and Thunder Bay, she's served meals to hundreds of clients "because I want that relationship in each community and with each organization to be reciprocal." "It's not just about me coming in and extracting that data. It's about giving something back, both now and later at the end of the project." Before each interview, she offers Indigenous participants tobacco and makes sure all the clients are fed and hydrated. She also gives them a cash honorarium and homemade jam "because their time is valuable and their time is worth something." After finishing her work in Thunder Bay, Wilkinson will conduct interviews at a Black homeless-serving organization in Toronto. "As a Black researcher, a Black scholar coming from the [Greater Toronto Area], I think that's going to be a really impactful experience," she said. "In order to create meaningful change, we need people to recognize that the racism we're seeing in our health-care system is pervasive, and by having all of these stories, there's no denying that racism exists anymore — and that's really my goal for this project."

Ontario doctors don't get paid when they treat uninsured patients. Here's how that might change
Several times a week, a man facing homelessness and mental health issues comes to the busy emergency department in downtown Toronto where Dr. Bernard Ho works, and doctors there treat him despite not being paid to do so. That's because the man doesn't have a valid health card — and he's not the only one. Ho said many doctors are forced to bear the cost of caring for people in need who can't prove they have health insurance. "We see them all the time. And unfortunately, we're not paid for them," Ho told CBC Toronto. Currently, most doctors across the province can't invoice the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for patients who can't prove they have coverage. The Ontario Medical Association is hoping to change that and is working to finalize a new compensation deal with the provincial government that includes the reintroduction of what it calls a "good-faith" payment policy, first scrapped in 1998. What is a 'good-faith' payment policy? During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ontario revived a version of 20th-century "good-faith" payment policy, creating a stream of funding to ensure doctors got paid whenever they treated someone, even when the patient was not insured. The policy was scrapped again in 2023. The Ministry of Health told CBC Toronto in a statement it's unable to comment on specific proposals while in active bargaining with the OMA. If the proposal is approved, the "good-faith" payment system would kick in under three scenarios, according to the OMA: Newborn patients experiencing glitches or delays while they await a permanent health card. People who are OHIP-eligible but don't have valid documentation or valid coverage, a category which could include people experiencing homelessness, mental health issues or other barriers to documentation. Uninsured patients presenting in critical conditions, who are unable or don't have someone available to provide documentation. The category could include undocumented residents, temporary residents experiencing lapses in coverage, uninsured travelers facing medical emergencies, and individuals facing complications or emergencies after elective health or birth tourism. 'Free for all' not the goal, OMA president says It's that third scenario, in which doctors would bill for care for uninsured patients, that could face pushback, the OMA noted in a 2024 report. "The Ministry may indicate that this is simply not their problem to manage … Some members of the public may feel similarly," the report says. Under the proposed policy, hospitals would need to make reasonable attempts to verify someone's coverage, said OMA president Dr. Zainab Abdurrahman. But if that's not possible, she believes the doctors caring for them should still get paid. "Our real focus is really the OHIP-eligible. Could someone [ineligible] slip in there? There's always a possibility," Abdurrahman said. "We're being very specific and very intentional … to help allay the fears that this is just going to be a free-for-all for everyone to come and get Ontario taxpayer-paid health care," she said. "That's not our goal." When the policy was in place during the pandemic, the OMA found that 7,000 Ontario physicians provided 400,000 instances of care to patients without insurance. Similar programs exist across Canada: OMA It's unclear whether bringing back the policy could incentivize more medical tourism, said Boriana Miloucheva, an assistant professor of health economics at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health. "The option to get medical services and not pay [the bill] already exists," she said. "It's a good-faith program, but there should be reviews about who is actually billing and what they're actually billing," she said. Other provinces, such as B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Quebec, do provide similar payment options for emergencies, according to the OMA. Some of them allow retroactive billing or accept mailing addresses from homeless shelters as proof of residency for those without a health card. A similar policy was also recently implemented in Manitoba. Ontario doctors are close to a new compensation deal. Here's what it includes 7 days ago The Ontario Medical Association is hoping to strike a new deal with the province that would change the way family physicians are compensated. CBC's Dale Manucdoc has more on what the proposed deal includes. Ultimately, says Dr. Ho, this is about more than getting compensated for work. He says it's a health equity issue for the province's most vulnerable populations, who might delay care or turn down prescriptions they can't pay for because they can't prove they're eligible for OHIP. Ho says the policy could end up saving the province money, since people postponing care could face more serious health issues that need treating later on. "We do need to reduce these barriers to care and … create fair processes for these patients because they are disproportionately affected by this," he said. Abdurrahman said she's hoping for an update on the proposed policy this fall.
