As the ground thaws, the search for

residential school unmarked graves is set to continue in the Yukon, but indigenous leaders say their concern support for their efforts is diminishing. Katrin Pilkinton has the latest. They're saying that's false information. Sandra Johnson is an elder with the Yukon Residential Schools Missing Children Project. She's concerned federal funding cuts and growing residential school denialism will hinder the group's plans this year. Plans that involve ground penetrating radar searches as well as archival research. This really did happen and it's still happening in subtle ways. Over the past year, the federal government has made cuts to organizations that support search efforts. Some indigenous researchers worry that cuts could fuel denialism.

They say they're disturbed by some of the discourse they've seen on social media and heard from Canadian politicians. It just seems only recently that there's been this enormous pushback. That's Raymond Frogner, senior director of research with the National Center for Truth and Reconciliation. It's unclear what funding will look like under Prime Minister Mark Carney. The federal government did not return a request for comment by deadline. Katrin Pokington, CBC News, Whitehorse. In Newfoundland and Labrador

conservatives made big gains in last month's election. The party won three of the province's seven seats, the most in nearly 20 years. The CBC's Heather Gillis takes a look at what's behind the increase. On election night the conservatives won two decisive victories in Newfoundland and Labrador. Clifford Small in central Newfoundland and Carol Anstey in Long Range Mountains. In Terranova, the peninsula's Jonathan Rowe picked up a third seat for the party. Former Conservative MP and now Senator Fabian Manning says the cost of living and affordability were big issues driving voters.

So I think that certainly played a very large part. It's the first time since 2006 that the Conservatives have won this many seats in the province. Meanwhile, political scientist Alex Marlin says the party's gains come from a deepening rural-urban divide. The kinds of things that a lot of people in urban centres, that they were pushing, was something that really alienated a lot of people in rural Canada. Meanwhile, Manning says it's a good thing to have a better balance between the number of conservative and liberal MPs in the province.

And Marland is wondering if a similar rural-urban divide will emerge during the upcoming provincial election. Heather Gillis, CBC News, St. John's. Like many Canadians who don't have a family doctor, a 96-year-old Dartmouth, Nova Scotia resident is fed up. Dorothy Lamont says not having a physician is her biggest worry. So she recently tried a unique method to find a primary health care provider. Nicola Sagan reports. Kind of like your personal advertisement.

Right. 96-year-old Dorothy Lamont and her son Stuart huddle around the local newspaper. On page 3, an ad titled Seeking a Physician, written by Dorothy. She says it's her last ditch effort to find a doctor after three years without one. Any problem I get, I have no one to turn to. Though Dorothy's method is unique, her story isn't. An estimated 6.5 million Canadians don't have a family doctor. In Nova Scotia, that number is decreasing, but still sits at more than 90,000 people,

close to 9% of the population. At 96, I think you deserve a bit better. Stuart Lamont says his mother isn't trying to make a political statement, just stand up for herself and other seniors. After the ad was published, a medical clinic called saying a new doctor could take Dorothy as a patient. Nicholas Sagan, CBC News, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
