ANIL JHALLI anil.jhalli@eap.on.ca
Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie is hoping the provincial riding of Glengarry- Prescott-Russell can return to Liberal glory when Ontarians head to the polls in the summer of 2026. Crombie, who was named the new leader of the Ontario Liberal Party on Dec 2, 2023, following the resignation of former leader Steven Del Duca, visited the United Counties of Prescott and Russell (UCPR) on Friday, May 10, where she had the opportunity to discuss concerns and priorities with local politicians and leaders. “I wanted to hear what the problems are and help with brainstorming some solutions,” said Crombie, during a stop at the Broken Stick Brewery in Hammond last Friday. “The party and its executive really want me to get out there and tour, especially coming to small town communities. I am a new leader with a new vision, and it’s important for people to get to know me.” Crombie, has been touring ridings across the province, and before visiting Hammond, she was in Ottawa, Sudbury and Brockville. Progressive Conservative Stéphane Sar- razin currently represents the provincial of Glengarry-Prescott-Russell riding, and was elected in 2022. “Liberalism has evolved,” said Crombie. “I don’t want to be tied to the legislature. I want to be out there, learning and understanding what’s happening jn small communities. I want to know, if you didn’t vote Liberal last time, what has your MPP done for your com- munity, and how can we as a party gain your confidence when it comes time to vote?” Support for Francophones Communities across the UCPR are pre- dominately Francophone, and Crombie said she understands the importance of providing equal representation for the French speaking population. “I made the commitment to reinstate the Francophone commissioner,” said Crombie, addressing the fact that the program was cancelled. “It is very important to stand up for Francophone rights.’ Roads and infrastructure The Ontario government recently an- nounced it is taking over Highway 174, more than 25 years after the road in Ottawa’s east end was downloaded to the City of Ottawa. Premier Doug Ford announced a new $543 million agreement between the Ontario government and the City of Ottawa, which includes Ontario taking over responsibility of Ottawa Road 174. And while Crombie is happy for the City of Ottawa, she wonders what it means for neighbouring municipalities, many of them who rely heavily on the stretch of road to get to and from Ottawa. “Of course it should be offloaded to other
Have you ever observed elderly people removing their teeth when they eat, placing them on a napkin or next to their plate? And yet, teeth are made for eating. This may seem like a harmless gesture, but behind it lies a fundamental problem: bone loss. Over the years, I’ve come across many smiles marked by this difficulty, and I can tell you that maintaining dentures, especially lower ones, becomes a real challenge as time goes by. But how does bone loss occur? The jawbone is essential to support the teeth. Once teeth are missing, the bone is no longer stimulated and begins to shrink progressively. The early stages after a dental prosthesis is fitted are the most difficult, as the patient has to get used to this new reality and adapt to reduced jaw function. Over the decades, the jawbone and gums slowly shrink, eventually making it impossible to wear a denture. This process takes place over a long period of time, often imperceptible to patients until it’s too late and the bone is virtually non-existent. You only have to visit a retirement home to realize that few residents use their teeth to eat. This is frustrating, because there’s a simple solution to the problem: dental implants. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing it from shrinking. What’s more, they provide solid support for artificial teeth, enabling patients to regain the use of their teeth. As we age, investing in dental implants may be the best decision for preserving oral health and maintaining optimum quality of life. Nicholas Fournier, DD Bone loss

Stewart, who is from Hammond, is cur- rently a Clarence-Rockland city councillor. First elected to municipal council in 2022 at the young age of 23, the young councillor
has made an impression and now hopes to provide a voice to a region he feels has been ignored by the province. “As a municipal councillor, I have seen how much our (riding of Glengarry-Prescott- Russell) growth has been held back by the provincial government,” said Stewart. “This area has been good to my family, and for me, politics is a way of giving back to the community I love.”
FRITO LAY CANADA PROCÈDE AU RAPPEL DE CERTAINES VARIÉTÉS DE SUNCHIPS ET DE MUNCHIES LA PRESSE CANADIENNE
Frito Lay Canada procède au rappel de deux de ses grignotines les plus popu- laires en raison d’un risque possible de contamination à la salmonelle. Le rappel concerne les SunChips à saveur de cheddar de campagne et le «super mélange» Munchies original. Ces produits sont vendus partout au Canada. L’entreprise dit avoir pris cette mesure après avoir été informée par un fournisseur d’assaisonnement qu’un ingrédient délivré par un tiers aurait été potentiellement conta- miné par la bactérie. Frito Lay dit que même si aucune sal- monelle n’a été trouvée dans l’assaison- nement, le rappel a été lancé «par excès de prudence». La salmonelle est une bactérie suscep- tible de provoquer de la diarrhée, de la fièvre et des crampes abdominales. Les gens sont encouragés à vérifier leur garde-manger pour ces produits et à les jeter. «Frito Lay Canada travaille en étroite col- laboration avec l’Agence canadienne d’ins- pection des aliments (ACIA) pour s’assurer
que les produits rappelés soient retirés du marché», a indiqué l’entreprise dans un communiqué.
