NDP Motion On New Brampton Hospital Defeated TORONTO: Ontario NDP, led by Andrea Horwath did not suc- ceed in forcing a vote at Queen’s Park on November 4, calling for construction of a second hospi- tal in Brampton and immediate expansion of the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness. The Conservative Party defeat- ed Horwath’s motion by a vote of 63 to 38. Horwath in a media release: “The Liberals had 15 years to give Brampton the hospital they need, but they let Brampton fami- lies down. Now, as Brampton continues to boom, the Doug Ford Conservatives are doing exactly what the Liberals did: denying Brampton the hospital families desperately need.” Last Friday on Nov. 1, NDP MPPs Gurratan Singh (Brampton East), Sara Singh (Brampton Cen- tre) and Kevin Yarde (Brampton North) held a press conference outside Brampton Civic Hospital to announce plans to force a vote after a Freedom of Information request revealed both Brampton Civic and Peel Memorial were operating over capacity. Peel Memorial was over capac- ity between 557 and 587 per cent from July 2018 to June 2019, and Brampton Civic was operating over 100 per cent capacity. www.WeeklyVoice.com national Friday, November 8, 2019 | A-3 Does The Asylum Pact With US Violate Charter?

TORONTO: Happy Pops, billed as all-natural fro- zen treats, was recently selected as one of the Top Ten Innovative Products at the 2019 Grocery Innovations Canada (GIC) trade show. Happy Pops was among the 10 winners at the GIC show, which is Canada’s premiere grocery trade show, with over 320 food and retail exhibitors from around the globe. Happy Pops Founder and CEO, Leila Keshavjee was on site to accept the award at the annual trade-only show, which took place over two days — October 22-23, 2019 at the Toronto Congress Center in Etobicoke, Ontario. After graduating with a degree in kinesiology from the University of Toronto, Leila began noticing that food products often spelled out the ingredients in a convoluted and misleading way. What alarmed her most was that the call-outs on packaging bringing at- tention to the various health benefits of the product, were far outweighed by harmful artificial flavours and additives in the ingredient list. She chose to put her dreams of becoming a physi- cian on hold, and to start a company that uses clean, natural ingredients, with packaging that clearly indi- cates every ingredient. With that mission at its core, Happy Pops was born in 2016 and the company has been on the rise ever since. Happy Pops is 1/2 a serv- ing of fruit per bar and an average of 50-70 calories. In 2018, Leila successfully applied to be a candi- date on the hit CBC Television show Dragon’s Den, in which she received four separate offers from the judges. She appeared in the season premiere of Season 13 and launched retail packaging earlier this year. “Win- ning this award proved to me that all the late nights and personal sacrifice has been worth it. I want to thank my team and my family for their support and commitment. My goal is to make Happy Pops avail- able in every province across Canada in the next few months,” remarked Leila following her win. There were over 700 new products featured in the 2019 GIC “New Product Showcase”.
