Sudbury long-term care home still can't admit new residents, six months after provincial order issued
Social Sharing A long-term care home in Sudbury has not been able to admit new residents for six months now, following a provincial order. The Ontario Ministry of Long Term Care issued what it calls a Cease Admissions Order on December 16, 2024. This means no new residents can move into the nursing home while the order remains in place. The order came after residents and families made numerous complaints about care at the home, which opened in May 2024 on Algonquin Road in the city's south end. Provincial inspectors issued six compliance orders after finding standards were not being met under Ontario's Fixing Long-Term Care Act. The those orders have since been lifted, but follow-up inspections at Extendicare Countryside since December have found some of the same issues are ongoing. The latest inspection report published by the ministry on June 4 comes from an on-site inspection between May 5 and May 9. These types of inspections are regular check-ins to identify any non-compliance with provincial standards and do not cover complaints or critical issues, which are investigated separately. Following the inspection, five written notifications were given to Extendicare Countryside for non-compliance. These include issues with skin and wound care, including failing to ensure that the care a resident received was documented. The home was also notified about staff not responding to the needs of a resident and not properly cleaning the dining area. In a statement to CBC News, Extendicare Countryside said the written notifications "are not unexpected or unusual for any Ontario long-term care home. This is helpful feedback that allows us to focus on areas that require additional effort or improvement." Extendicare added it continues to address gaps and improve care and is encouraged by the home's continued progress. Despite that, families and residents have continued to voice their concerns in recent months, with Sudbury-area New Democrat MPPs Jamie West and France Gélinas calling for a full inspection of the nursing home.

What asset mix minimizes your chances of a loss?
No one likes to lose money. But retirees are especially averse to investment losses, since they no longer have a continuing stream of employment earnings. Take Martha, a 65-year-old who expects to live at least until 94 thanks to good genes and a healthy diet. Apart from Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security pensions, all her retirement income will have to be generated from her savings. She would like to avoid a capital loss, but how? Martha considers three asset mixes: 40/60, meaning 40 per cent in stocks (split evenly between U.S. and Canadian ones), and 60 per cent in long-term government bonds; 20/80; and 0/100, meaning everything in bonds. To improve her chances, she keeps her investment fees low, at 0.5 per cent, by investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Martha's expected retirement period is 29 years, which is convenient for our analysis since there have been exactly three 29-year periods since 1938 (the first year with good statistics for all asset classes). There is a fair chance the future will resemble at least one of those three periods – we just don't know which one. As the chart shows, Martha would have lost money in at least four years out of 29 and as many as eight years. The most benign period investment-wise turned out to be 1996-2024, even though it included the dot-com bubble (which burst in 2000), 9/11 and the Great Recession of 2008-2009. Regardless of the period, we find that Martha could have minimized the risk of a loss by investing at least some assets in stocks. This may come as a surprise since stocks are traditionally considered riskier than bonds. The 20/80 asset mix proved to be the safest, and while the 40/60 mix was a little riskier, it did result in a higher average return. Coming in dead last was the strategy of putting 100 per cent in long-term bonds. If Martha was intent on avoiding a loss under any circumstances, she could have put all her money in a short-term bond fund, a money market fund or GICs. That strategy, however, would have resulted in a lower long-term return than any of the three asset mixes analyzed above. The moral here? Even the most risk-averse retiree needs to accept a little investment risk. Frederick Vettese is former chief actuary of Morneau Shepell and author of the PERC retirement calculator (

Security rules not followed when awarding contracts to company behind controversial ArriveCan app, report says
A person holds a smartphone set to the opening screen of the ArriveCan app in a photo illustration made in Toronto, Wednesday, June 29, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Giordano Ciampini OTTAWA — Canada's auditor general says federal organizations failed to follow procurement and security rules when awarding contracts to the company behind the controversial ArriveCan app. The report on GCStrategies is one of several audits tabled in the House of Commons today. It says the company was awarded 106 contracts by 31 federal organizations between 2015 and 2024. The maximum value of those contracts was more than $90 million but only $65 million was paid out. Auditor general Karen Hogan looked at a sample set of contracts to see whether they fell in line with federal policy and whether the government got value for taxpayers' money. Her findings say many contracts did not follow procurement rules and organizations often provided little evidence to show the work had actually been done. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 10, 2025. Catherine Morrison, The Canadian Press
