Researchers at McGill University have found that briefly treating peanuts with cold plasma, an ionically charged gas that triggers chemical changes, reduces their potential to cause allergic reactions. The researchers say this is probably because the process causes changes to the protein structure, the part of the peanut that can trigger an immune response. The technology was also shown to improve functional properties important for food manufacturing.

International energy research organization Ember has released its annual Global Electricity Review. It reports that clean energy sources have met all new energy demand since 2025, while electricity generation from fossil fuels has remained unchanged. The review notes that solar power is growing at the fastest rate. However, in Canada, it notes, solar and wind make up less than 10 per cent of the country’s electricity generation, compared to the G7 average of 19 per cent.

Some of Dr. Jeffrey Mogil’s most influential discoveries could be considered serendipity. He may not have set out to revolutionize the field, but what he ended up finding has made a lasting impact in the world of pain research.

Dr. Mogil is a pain researcher and professor at McGill University, and his CIHR-supported work uncovered two big blind spots: the research had focused almost entirely on male pain and mostly measured one type of pain—and not the type that makes the biggest difference for patients.

April 20, 2026 | Pearl Eliadis spoke to HRReporter on how Quebec's Bills 94 and 9 are reshaping religious accommodation. The "sleeper" issue for HR teams, Eliadis argues, is Bill 9's replacement of the "undue hardship" threshold with a "more than minimal hardship" standard, letting employers refuse religious accommodation on the basis of minor inconvenience.

Drawing on a 2025 Max Bell Policy Lab project co-authored for the Competition Bureau of Canada, Maubert weighs both sides: AI pricing can help smaller firms compete, but it can also produce unintentional collusion when competitors rely on the same software.
