The turbulence on the global PC market continues. This is shown by current figures from the market research companies IDC and Canalys for the first quarter. According to the two analysis companies, the Apple group from California is particularly hard hit. The specific figures for the overall market differ only slightly: while IDC reports a decline in sales figures of 29 percent year-on-year, Canalys assumes a 32.6 percent decline. Depending on the calculation, in the first three months of the
The conclusions of this study were relayed by Géraldine Zamansky, journalist for the Magazine de la Santé on France 5. According to her, this research has highlighted objective effects on blood pressure, depression and anxiety. Cortisol, the stress hormone, is a key element in the balance of our body. Prolonged exposure to high cortisol levels increases the risk of chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Furthermore, this also weakens our body’s immune defensesmaking us more vulnerable to viral and bacterial infections.
To help patients manage stress, Dr. Melissa Lem, who leads Canada’s National Prescription Nature Program, recommends spend 20 minutes a day surrounded by nature. This dose was established from a 2019 US study which showed that even a brief exposure to nature may reduce cortisol in saliva. After just five minutes in a park, cortisol levels drop, but following 20 minutes the drop becomes much greater. Dr. Lem also points out that the benefits of nature do not necessarily depend on the size of the green space. The main thing is to feel the presence of nature and fully immerse yourself in the environment around us. Even a small garden or square can provide the desired benefits, as long as the focus is on the newly emerging spring plants, flowers and leaves. It can be a great way to relax and recharge, even in an urban setting.
Dr. Lem encourages people who are reluctant to spend more time in nature to participate in accompanied activities. Indeed, the development of group activities such as hikes or community gardens might help stimulate enthusiasm for nature. However, for now, it all depends on the proximity to green spaces and the availability of everyone to spend time there.

The corrupt MUHC boss and his castle
Photo d’archives, Ben Pelosse
One of the first reports from our Bureau of Inquiry concerned an executive of the McGill University Health Center (MUHC) who had paid for a veritable castle.
Yanai Elbaz had notably done business with hospital suppliers for his plans and diverted materials to his luxurious residence in Saint-Laurent.
Less than a month following our reports, he was arrested by UPAC along with the hospital’s former CEO, Arthur Porter, for one of the biggest corruption cases in Canadian history. They had accepted bribes totaling $22 million to favor SNC-Lavalin in the awarding of the MUHC PPP construction contract.
For years, our Bureau of Investigation has followed in his footsteps and those with whom he worked. This is how we found, on the island of Saint-Martin, in the Caribbean, a businessman with whom he had invested part of his fortune in real estate.

COVID investigation
Photo d’archives, Martin Chevalier
The Bureau of Investigation team revealed the first case of COVID-19 in Quebec, at the very beginning of the pandemic, in 2020.
Then one of our journalists worked in the red zone of an intermediate resource to show the drama that patients and staff were going through.
- Listen to the interview with Jean-Louis Fortin on the Richard Martineau show via QUB radio :
Finally, we discovered that a former MP and close friend of Justin Trudeau had landed a huge contract for ventilators in hospitals. Not to mention the deaths that were counted by fax. A practice from another era that François Legault quickly promised to abolish.
Rise and Fall of the King of Pharmacies
At 36, Jonathan-Yan Perreault was the largest pharmacy owner in Quebec. Virtually unknown to the general public, he notably used nominee agreements to hold his forty pharmacies.
After the Bureau of Investigation’s revelations, his empire crumbled. He was expelled until the age of 72 for having notably received benefits from pharmaceutical companies, consumed drugs, sold expired drugs and a multitude of other breaches of his code of ethics.
Bonuses and spa for specialist doctors
Jacket bonus, bonuses for arriving on time in the operating room, meeting bonus, oxygen bonus… Our Investigation Office has lifted the veil on several dubious bonuses granted to medical specialists. Most of them have since been abolished in the wake of our reporting.
In 2018, we also lifted the veil on training offered to doctors at Spa Eastman in Estrie, all expenses paid. The bonus of $800 per half-day of training has also been shelved since then.
