Kinga David, CIHI spokesperson, said the number of Canadian women who smoke or are overweight may also be contributing to the growth in C-sections. David said obesity is a factor for a higher risk pregnancy and overweight women tend to have more interventions while giving birth.
Jan Currie, chief nursing officer of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, said Manitoba women are getting the message that vaginal births without any interventions are the safest for both mom and baby. Although there are times when medical intervention like C-sections or forceps are necessary to deliver the baby, Currie said the province's low rates indicate women are resisting pressure to schedule their baby's date of birth.

This is not, naturally and understandably, the image that the National Historical Society wishes to attach to itself --although its subscription rate might soar if its content was true to its title. Unfortunately, the HBC, as originally founded, was looking for beaver of the traditional sort. The NHS, consequently, plans to change the magazine's title to Canada's History. That not only will erase a bit of Canada's history because of political correctness and Internet-marketing, but it will also almost certainly yawn the circulation of Canada's best historical magazine down.
Ukraine goes to the polls in a presidential vote that may not be conclusive, but will likely point the way to warmer relations between Kiev and Moscow and, as a consequence, more power for Vladimir Putin's Kremlin re...

Typically, temperatures cool to the point snow stays until spring in mid- to late November, with Nov. 16 being the average date where continuous snowfall starts. Westman has experienced frosty overnight conditions lately and will continue to do so as overnight lows sink to or below 0 C. "Once the sun sets, temperatures drop like a rock," Skiba said.

To make the duck, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and preheat a large saute pan or frypan on stovetop. Season both sides of breasts with salt, pepper and place skin-side down on the hot pan. Sear about six minutes to render out most of the fat, then turn over and sear meat one minute. Brush with tangerine glaze and pop duck breasts into the oven for eight to 10 minutes to medium-well doneness (internal meat temperature 140 degrees F/60 degrees C). Remove and rest at room temperature before slicing thin across the grain.

Great Tastes of Manitoba (Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. on CTV) is a locally produced cooking show that's been on the air so long, it qualifies as a kitchen staple. To celebrate 20 years of dishing up Manitoba-grown food, they've published a cookbook featuring that same good food. The easy-to-make recipes come from local producers using easy-to-find ingredients. The recipes featured this week all come from Great Tastes of Manitoba: Celebrating Delicious, Local Food (edited by Lucia Carruthers, Studio Publications Inc., $29.99). I've chosen three suitable for holiday entertaining.
