\"\"On Thursday Health Canada<\/a> approved Canadian Blood Services\u2019<\/a> submission to eliminate the three-month donor deferral period for gay and bisexual men as well as some other folks in the LGBTQ2S+ community.<\/p>\n

It’s a policy change years in the making.<\/p>\n

Moving away from a blanket ban, the national blood donor organization will be able to screen all donors regardless of gender or sexuality. Instead, donors will be screened based on their sexual behaviours.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Raptors<\/a> season is over.<\/p>\n

The Raptors were looking to become the fourth NBA team to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-0. No team has ever come back to win.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia advances to play the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

\"\"We’re going to miss out on this, but those who live in parts of southern South America and the south Pacific and Southern Oceans will have a chance to see rare partial eclipse just before sunset tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

The eclipse is set to occur during the new moon. It’s the second new moon of April, known as the Black Moon.<\/p>\n

Solar eclipses take place when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align, casting a shadow on our planet. This extraterrestrial phenomenon will only be a partial eclipse, though, meaning that the sun will only be partially obscured when watching from Earth.<\/p>\n

Black Moons are considered slightly rare as they typically occur about every 32 months (two to three years), according to the The Old Farmers Almanac<\/a>. Here’s a link if you’d like to watch a live stream.<\/a><\/p>\n

According to NASA<\/a>, the next solar eclipse is in October 2023.<\/p>\n
