OTTAWA — Canada’s immigration department says it still expects Ukrainians who fled the war with Russia to return to their home country once the conflict ends. That’s in spite of comments from Immigration Minister Lena Diab, who recently acknowledged that many Ukrainians who came to Canada on temporary visas are here to stay. “Canada and the people that made the decision felt that it would be temporary, which is why they were called temporary programs. We now know it’s not temporary,” Diab said in a Jan. 26 interview with The Canadian Press. “They’ve been here for X number of years,…

Living in Oshawa, 69-year-old retiree Wenida Dimaculangan spends almost an hour travelling to Scarborough for her hemodialysis appointment three times a week.

Although patients living with kidney disease may have the option for a transplant, it’s different for Dimaculangan’s case. “I have a problem with my heart,” she…
