A new Emerson College survey of 1,000 likely voters shows Republican Steve Hilton at 17% support, just ahead of Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Sheriff Chad Bianco, both at 14%. Katie Porter follows with 10% and Tom Steyer at 9%, while 21% remain undecided. Hilton's lead comes from a narrow edge among GOP voters and strong appeal to independents, fueled by his proposals like no income tax under $100,000 and tackling crime and homelessness. The top-two primary system raises the chance of two Republicans advancing if Democrats split their votes among many candidates.

Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program saw 16,499 cases in 2024, accounting for 5.1% of all deaths—mostly among white Canadians aged 78 on average with cancer as the top condition.

With eligibility expansions paused and mental illness cases delayed until 2027, the debate weighs personal autonomy against risks to vulnerable people.

Key Takeaway

A 92-year-old in Kingston heard a doctor suggest she 'ascend into eternity.' Stories like hers fuel worries over Canada's expanding assisted dying program.

The exchange highlights how medieval artifacts still fuel passionate online debates over legacy and repatriation.

Installed in 2003 as a third-class chief, Adebara has received no pay despite court rulings upholding his position, including a 2014 acquittal after his 2006 arrest on charges from the Emir of Ilorin. He blames opposition from rival rulers in the Ilorin Emirate, which oversees Jebba despite a 1997 court decision placing the area outside it. Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq ordered a probe in 2024, but no resolution has come, fueling calls for salary arrears, status upgrade, and autonomy for other Yoruba Obas facing similar issues.

Key Takeaway

At 103, Alhaji Abdulkadir Alabi Adebara still sits as Oba of Jebba, waiting 21 years for the salary his court-affirmed role deserves. His quiet endurance highlights deep-rooted tensions in Kwara's traditional leadership.
