The bare-throated bellbird may reign as the one of the world’s loudest birds.
Two new contenders for the title of world’s loudest bird are flocking into the record books—the bare-throated bellbird (Procnias nudicollis) and red-legged seriema (Cariama cristata). The findings are detailed in a study published today in the journal Evolution, and mark another stage in its authors’ quest to understand how evolution shapes bird communication.

Canada and Alberta flags flap in the breeze with Wedge Mountain in the background in Kananaskis, Alta. (Jeff McIntosh/The Canadian Press)The clock is ticking down to Alberta's provincewide referendum on 10 questions, with polls set to open at 9 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 19. Five of those questions are related to immigration, while four propose constitutional changes — each of these are "yes" or "no" questions. The final question has to do with the future of Alberta independence. Voters will be asked to choose only one of two options: for the province to stay in Canada, or to hold a second binding referendum on separating from the country. CBC News has reported extensively on the questions to help voters prepare before marking the 10 ballots.
Venting when angry seems a sensible option. Conventional wisdom suggests that expressing anger can help us quell it, like releasing steam from a pressure cooker. But this common metaphor is misleading, according to a 2024 meta-analytic review. Researchers at Ohio State University analyzed 154 studies on anger and found little evidence that venting helps. In some cases, it could increase anger. "I think it's really important to bust the myth that if you're angry you should blow off steam – get it off your chest," said senior author and communication scientist Brad Bushman when the results were published. "Venting anger might sound like a good idea, but there's not a shred of scientific evidence to support catharsis theory. "That doesn't mean anger should be ignored. Reflection can help us understand why we get mad and address underlying problems. It can also aid emotional validation, an important first step towards healthily processing emotions. Venting, however, often goes beyond reflection into rumination. The study suggests that many people also try to exorcise anger with physical exertion, which can offer health benefits but may not lighten the mood in the moment.

SASKATOON, Sask. — News of the latest round of health-care facility disruptions over the weekend drew an outraged reaction from the NDP opposition on Monday. “You know, I'm frustrated, I'm angry, and frankly I'm a little bit scared that… Scott Moe and Jeremy Cockrill’s inability to run our health-care system properly and come clean about the state of our health-care system is going to cost another person in Saskatchewan their life,” NDP associate health critic Keith Jorgenson told reporters in Saskatoon. Jorgenson pointed to news from the weekend of another 12 rural emergency facilities that were closed. He said, in addition, there were other rural facilities in the province that were open but with “no doctor, no lab services, or no X-ray services.”“This is dangerous and it's irresponsible. You know, we need the government to provide real-time information about these closures to folks in rural Saskatchewan, and come up with a plan to fix health care in urban Saskatchewan, but in rural Saskatchewan. It's dangerous to have this many hospital ERs closed.

When it comes to current global trade disruptions, Canadian oil, natural gas, critical minerals, agricultural products, and other commodities have become highly sought after. But Canada’s main trade challenge has never been a lack of global demand. The key constraint has been capacity.
For years, Canada’s potential to produce, process, move, and transport its resources competitively to diverse markets has been held back by stagnant investment conditions, regulatory malaise, and underperforming supply chains.
Boomers screamed for the Beatles on “Ed Sullivan.” Gen X wanted its MTV. Every generation has its touchstone moments of televised pop culture. For millennials, one such moment arrived in 2006 when the rival broadcast networks UPN and the WB united to launch a super network with programming geared toward audiences too old for Nickelodeon but not fully invested in what Mom or Dad were watching: The CW. The network kicked off with carryovers from the merger, including “Gilmore Girls” and “America’s Next Top Model,” before finding its own niche with shows like “Gossip Girl,” “The Vampire Diaries,” “Arrow” and “Riverdale.” The CW would spend the bulk of this century becoming synonymous with a specific kind of programming: one in which teens and 20-somethings had educated conversations about real issues, like cyberbullying and queer relationships, while looking impeccable. Earlier series like the WB’s “Dawson’s Creek” and ABC’s “My So-Called Life” managed to resonate with younger viewers without talking down to them. But the goal of the CW was to create a network that took younger viewers, especially female viewers, seriously. “I think teen girls …

Western University community members are pushing back against alleged AI-generated content posted by the Western Mustangs on social media. This criticism follows two separate Instagram posts — on Sept. 25 and Sept. 28 — advertising the Mustangs’ “Show for Dough” promotional contest for first-year students, and the upcoming NXT GEN football game. The football game promotional post seemed to include AI-generated images resembling two Western Mustangs football players, second-year running back Jack Kelly and fifth-year fullback Sandro Pierini. The Mustangs have since removed both posts from their account.
The Western Mustangs Instagram post uploaded on Sept. 28, 2026, before being taken down on the same day.
Cancer may seem like an inevitable part of life, but there are so many factors that can help reduce your risk. When we think about reducing cancer risk, we usually think of lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise. But a new study by a team of cancer epidemiologists, published in The Lancet Oncology, highlights just how much infections actually contribute to your cancer risk. Based on global data, infections were linked to 12 percent of all cancers that were diagnosed in 2024. That's 2.3 million new cancer cases. Five key pathogens were responsible for nearly all of those infection-linked cases. The most common offender was a stomach bacterium, Helicobacter pylori, which was involved in 4 percent of the total cancers diagnosed in 2024 – that's 760,000 cases. H. pylori is a really common bug: statistically speaking, every second person in the world is infected with it. For most people, infection with H. pylori causes no symptoms, but certain strains can cause gastric ulcers and ultimately stomach cancers. The human papillomavirus (HPV) was also linked to 4 percent of the total new cancers diagnosed in 2024, which is 750,000 cases.
