Abortion issue, national unity  get renewed attention following Elizabeth May comments

The abortion issue has been getting renewed attention ahead of the October election, which could be one way the political conversation in the United States is flowing across the border.

Green party Leader Elizabeth May raised eyebrows on Monday when she told the CBC she would not whip votes or try to prevent anyone in her caucus from putting forward legislation on the issue, despite personally believing women should have access to safe and legal abortions.

Surrey mayor promises hundreds of cabbies there will be no Uber or Lyft in his city 

The province’s taxi industry has a key ally in the mayor of Surrey as ridesharing begins to roll out across B.C.

Doug McCallum was met with cheers as he took the stage to speak at a meeting of B.C. taxi drivers who had gathered to vent frustrations at what they say is not a level playing field.

The mayor didn’t disappoint, pledging to keep ridesharing services out of his city. “Every ridesharing company needs to have a business licence to operate in the City of Surrey,” said McCallum. “And I’m telling you today, we will not be issuing any business licences to ridesharing companies in Surrey.” But while McCallum’s pledge might have been good politics, they’re more bark than bite: B.C.’s rules for ridesharing doesn’t give authority to municipalities.

Non-dating teens may be less depressed than dating teens

Were you a teen who didn’t date in highschool? Are you the parent of a teen who hasn’t expressed an interest in dating? Often times, we hear that teen dating is important for interpersonal and intrapersonal development, so where does that leave teens who do not date?

Well, researchers from the University of Georgia have decided to take a look at the mental health of teens who do not date.  Brooke Douglas is the co-author of the study and a doctoral student in health promotion in the University of Georgia, and I asked her why she wanted to study the issue of teen dating. 

The study did not look at why there is a high correlation of depression with teens who date, but it's safe to assume that the heartbreak that goes along with teen dating is what contributes to the reports of depression.
