Exploring the promises of intersectionality for advancing women's health research
This paper draws on recently emerging intersectionality research in the Canadian women's health context in order to explore the promises and practical challenges of applying an intersectionality paradigm. Authors first present a brief overview of why the need for an intersectionality approach has emerged within the context of women's health research and introduce current thinking about how intersectionality can inform and transform health research more broadly. They then highlight novel Canadian research that is grappling with the challenges in addressing issues of difference and diversity.

Deaths, 2007
This Statistics Canada publication presents statistical tables showing the numbers and rates of death in Canada, the ten provinces and the three territories. Life expectancy at birth in Canada reached 80.7 years for the three-year period between 2005 and 2007, up from the average of 80.5 between 2004 and 2006, and 78.4 a decade earlier between 1995 and 1997. Life expectancy among seniors at the age of 65 has also been on an upward trend for several years. Also, the number of deaths registered in Canada in 2007 recorded its largest increase since 1993, continuing a long-term upward trend resulting from a growing and aging population.
