I Hate Corus Entertainment

 

someone out there needs to step up and buy YTV and Treehouse from Corus so that once they do go kablooey  they won't go down with it

 

(If I bought it I'd reinstate the Zone, and bring back their Achievement Awards)  and while we're at it we need to get CJOB and Power 97 away from them I wonder if Evanov wants to buy them or something

 

They have Clarified that productions are being paused though but this sounds more like a stay of execution

Manitoba Government Launches Digital Health Card

– – –
New Digital Health Card Makes Health Care More Accessible and Convenient: Premier

---

Manitobans can now apply for and access a digital health card on their mobile devices, Premier Wab Kinew, Health, Seniors and Long-Term Care Minister Uzoma Asagwara, and Innovation and New Technology Minister Mike Moroz announced today.

“Digital health cards put Manitobans in control of their own information, make it easier to access care, and support a safer, more responsive health system,” said Kinew. “Over the past year, we’ve moved from paper health cards to plastic and now to a digital option. It is a practical step that reflects our focus on patient safety, accessibility and putting people first as we make health care better for families.”

Alongside the digital health card, Manitobans can also use MediNav, the online appointment-booking system launched in 2025, to find and book care at participating clinics provincewide. Together, these tools allow Manitobans to carry their health card and book appointments from their mobile device, making access to care simpler and more convenient.

“We eliminated the backlog of health card wait times and now we’re making the process even faster,” said Asagwara. “For Manitobans who are already registered, the digital health card will be available right away. No waiting, no delays. This is about making health care more accessible and responsive for families across the province.”

The digital health card allows Manitobans to securely carry health card information on their mobile device and present it when receiving care, reducing the need to carry a physical card. Manitobans can choose to request a plastic card, a digital card or both when they sign up, and those with existing paper or plastic cards can request a digital card at any time, the ministers noted.

This modernization supports upcoming patient safety legislation, which will create a safer, more efficient patient experience, and give Manitobans greater confidence and autonomy in navigating the health system, the premier noted.

“The MB Wallet app makes health care more mobile. It is convenient, secure and easy to use,” said Moroz. “By offering this service, Manitoba is putting families at the forefront of modern, accessible health care.”

The MB Wallet is available free of charge through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Once downloaded, the app allows offline access to stored digital credentials. To protect privacy, users remain in control of when to use their credentials and what information they choose to share.
