Canada sending home families of diplomats in Cuba after cases of ’new type’ of brain injury | CBC News
▻http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/cuba-diplomats-embassy-1.4621992
Canada is designating Cuba an “unaccompanied post” — meaning diplomats’ families will not be allowed to live with them in the country during a posting — because of new information about mysterious symptoms suffered by Canadian and U.S. diplomats and their families.
Canadian diplomatic staff in Havana were informed of the decision Monday morning. The federal government has made arrangements to bring family members home in the coming weeks.
Ten Canadians in Cuba have experienced symptoms — including headaches, dizziness, nausea and difficulty concentrating — according to government officials who briefed reporters in Ottawa Monday.
Cartographier les anciennes voies navigables des #Premières_Nations

Sous une portion abandonnée de la route Transcanadienne, au Nouveau-Brunswick, se trouve une autre « autoroute », une voie de navigation vieille de plusieurs milliers d’années et utilisée autrefois par des communautés autochtones pour le commerce. Aujourd’hui, des chercheurs tentent de cartographier ces routes en utilisant une combinaison de logiciels et d’études linguistiques.
Radio-Canada avec CBC
En 2015, le gouvernement provincial a fermé le pont de Jemseg, construit dans les années 1960, laissant une grande partie de l’ancienne autoroute à l’abandon et inaccessible.
Or, juste en dessous se trouve la rivière Jemseg, qui, avec des centaines d’autres rivières et ruisseaux, constituaient jadis des routes utilisées par les communautés autochtones qui s’y déplaçaient à l’aide de canots en écorce de bouleau.

He’s seen cartography evolve from hand-drawn maps to incorporating computer based technologies, and now he has invited Indigenous people interested in mapping to Winnipeg for a week’s worth of workshops.
“The whole goal of the workshops is to provide that opportunity for training, for capacity enhancement, also to provide a space for people to network and talk to each other,” said Steve DeRoy from the Firelight Group.
DeRoy, is Anishinaabe from Ebb and Flow/Lake Manitoba First Nations, and is hoping to get more Indigenous people involved in mapping. His company, the Firelight Group, works on community based research projects with Indigenous communities across the country.

Alison Steel was only 4½ years old when her mother’s life changed forever.
In 1957, Jean Steel was admitted to Montreal’s Allan Memorial Institute. The once happy and energetic 33-year-old was diagnosed with manic depression and delusional thinking.
In the months that followed, Steel became the victim of CIA-funded brainwashing experiments conducted by Dr. Ewen Cameron. She was kept in a chemically induced sleep for weeks and subjected to rounds of electroshocks, experimental drugs and tape-recorded messages played non-stop.

Les corbeaux sont si malins qu’ils sabotent les expériences des chercheurs - Motherboard

Au lieu de laisser tomber le caillou pour libérer la nourriture, la petite créature diabolique a déposé une couche de brindilles dans le tube et poussé un bâton à travers ladite couche afin d’enclencher le mécanisme.
L’oiseau a dû être retiré de l’expérience avant qu’il apprenne aux autres corbeaux comment pirater le système des chercheurs.

Canuck the crow gets international notoriety for stealing knife from crime scene
▻http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/canuck-crow-international-attention-1.3604632
Vancouver’s most infamous bird has now achieved worldwide notoriety.
Canuck the crow was accused of swooping off with a knife from a crime scene, and its exploits have now been documented by various news outlets across the globe, from Washington Post to The Guardian and ABC News.
Here’s what CBC originally reported happened:
On May 24, police had shot a man near Hastings and Cassiar streets. They were called to the scene of a car engulfed in flames. When they arrived, police said, they were confronted by a man with a knife.
Shots were fired and the man was arrested.
Vancouver Courier reporter Mike Howell said he saw the bird — which had a red tag on its leg as does Canuck — swoop in and pick up an object from inside an area cordoned off by police tape.
“A cop chased it for about 15 to 20 feet, and then the crow dropped it and took off,” Howell told CBC.
Police recovered the knife and placed it into an evidence box.
Dans une émission sur france culture sur les corbeaux Michel Pastoureaux raconte que le nom de corbeau pour les délateurices vient du fait que pendant les chasses au renard, les corbeaux aident parfois les renards en leur disant où sont les chasseurs et leurs chiens.

La décision cible 2 vignobles d’implantation et place sur listes noires des millésimes du Golan et de Jérusalem Est ; une association juive juge la décision “troublante”
L’agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments a ordonné aux points de vente de boissons alcoolisées de cesser de vendre des vins fabriqués en Cisjordanie, en affirmant que les étiquettes les identifiant comme provenant d’Israël contreviennent à la politique d’Ottawa sur le territoire.
Les résidents d’implantation et au moins une association juive canadienne ont réagi avec colère à la décision, qui cible les caves de Psagot et de Shiloh, dont les vins sont fabriqués près de Ramallah.
La nouvelle de la publication de l’ordonnance a été révélée mardi lorsqu’une lettre de la Régie des alcools de l’Ontario (LCBO) adressée aux vendeurs de boissons alcoolisées, détaillant la réglementation de l’Agence canadienne d’inspection des aliments envoyé une semaine plus tôt indiquait que « l’étiquette ‘produit d’Israël’ n’est pas un pays d’origine acceptable pour les produits viticoles fabriqués à partir de raisins cultivés, fermentés, transformés, mélangés et finis dans le territoire occupé de Cisjordanie. »

#Meghan_Murphy : Voici pourquoi un spa torontois réservé aux femmes ne devrait pas être forcé de changer sa politique à l’égard des trans
▻https://tradfem.wordpress.com/2017/06/21/suivi-voici-pourquoi-un-spa-torontois-reserve-aux-femmes-ne-devra
Un spa santé de Toronto, le Body Blitz, fait présentement l’objet de virulentes attaques de la part de transactivistes sur des médias sociaux pour avoir refusé l’entrée à un homme non-opéré s’identifiant comme femme. La chroniqueuse invitée Meghan Murphy soutient que cet établissement ne devrait pas succomber aux pressions visant à faire changer sa politique d’admission.
Dans un monde idéal, peut-être les femmes n’auraient-elles pas besoin d’espaces réservés aux femmes. Malheureusement, nous ne vivons pas dans ce monde. Body Blitz, un spa populaire de Toronto, offre un espace où les femmes sont libres de se détendre parmi d’autres femmes – de se déshabiller, faire de la natation et recevoir des traitements de spa sans avoir à s’inquiéter que des hommes ne se présentent sur place et ne gâchent l’atmosphère.
Mais Body Blitz est présentement attaqué après avoir été accusé d’avoir refusé ses services à une personne s’identifiant comme transfemme. Sur Twitter, Jia Qing Wilson-Yang, de Toronto, a affiché le message suivant : « Mon épouse a essayé de réserver pour moi une session surprise au @bodyblitzspa, mais les « parties génitales masculines » ne sont pas autorisées au spa et on nous a dit de ne pas nous y rendre. »
Cette nouvelle a rapidement été propagée parmi les transactivistes d’Internet, et la direction de Body Blitz s’est tout de suite vue accusée de « transphobie » et de « transmisogynie ».

Blotter carfentanil being sold on Winnipeg streets as ’drop dead,’ police say - Manitoba - CBC News
▻http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/carfentanil-blotter-drop-dead-winnipeg-1.4153544
Blotter carfentanil — small pieces of paper infused with a synthetic opioid about 100 times stronger than fentanyl — is being sold on the street as “drop dead,” Winnipeg Police Chief Danny Smyth told the Winnipeg Police Board on Friday.
Smyth said Winnipeg appears to be unique among Canadian cities in that there appears to be a market for carfentanil, whose intended use involves the tranquilization of elephants or large ungulates such as moose.
While the opioid has appeared in other cities, sometimes as a replacement for less potent substances, there is a small population of drug users that actively seeks the drug here, the chief said.

Syria’s al-Qaeda affiliate escapes from Canada’s terror list - Canada - CBC News
▻http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/terror-list-omission-1.4114621
Le Canada ne fait que suivre les #Etats-Unis,
The reasons for the reluctance to list the new al-Qaeda formation may have to do with one of its new members, the Nour ed-Dine Zenki Brigade, a jihadi group from the Aleppo governorate.
The Zenki Brigade was an early and prominent recipient of U.S. aid, weapons and training.
Zenki was cut off by the State Department only after Amnesty International implicated them in killings of Orthodox Christian priests and members posted a video of themselves beheading a young boy.
For the U.S. to designate HTS now would mean acknowledging that it supplied sophisticated weapons including TOW anti-tank missiles to “terrorists,” and draw attention to the fact that the U.S. continues to arm Islamist militias in Syria.
Canada’s longstanding reliance on U.S. listings exposes it to the increasingly politicized nature of those listings, which are influenced by the U.S. strategy of backing groups fighting the Syrian government and its Russian allies.
Climate change causes glacial river in Yukon to change direction - Technology & Science - CBC News
▻http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/climate-change-yukon-river-piracy-1.4070153?cmp=rss
Climate change has caused the massive Kaskawulsh Glacier in the Yukon to retreat so much that its meltwater abruptly switched direction, in the first documented case of “river piracy” in modern times.
Instead of flowing into the Slims River and then north to the Bering Sea, the water has changed course and now flows south toward the Kaskawulsh River, the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean, scientists have found.
Also known as stream capture, river piracy is a term used to describe a geologic phenomenon where a stream or river is diverted toward another body of water. It’s usually caused by a dramatic tectonic event, such as a landslide or glacial dam collapse.

“It’s abominable that with 100 overdose deaths already this year in Vancouver — almost half of 2016’s total — we have yet to see effective action from the provincial and federal governments on health care solutions that will stop the death toll in this #fentanyl crisis,” said Robertson [mayor of Vancouver] in a statement. (…) the B.C. government urgently needs to spend the $10 million received from the federal government before yet another hundred families are impacted by tragic preventable deaths," he said.
Robertson is calling on the B.C. Government to put $8 million into injectable therapies, like prescription heroin and hydromorphone, as well as mental health support for patients in Vancouver.

Along with the indefinite nature of immigration detention, the use of criminal jails to house migrants has been a major target of criticism from humanitarian organizations.
Looking at one day in January as a snapshot, the Star found that more than two-thirds of immigration detainees, including almost all of the long-term detainees, were in maximum-security provincial jails. Canada’s three medium-security facilities dedicated to immigration detention — one each in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, which can hold 195, 109 and 24 people, respectively — were not full.

Give peanut-based foods to babies early to prevent allergies, new guidelines say - Health - CBC News

Babies at increased risk for peanut allergy should have peanut-containing foods added to their diets as early as 4 months of age, new guidelines suggest.
The recommendation comes from the U.S. National Institutes of Health and other expert groups.
And it advocates a tactic that might seem counterintuitive: To drastically cut the chances of peanut allergy in high-risk babies, parents should introduce “age-appropriate” forms of peanut products early in life.

In 2015, findings from a landmark NIAID-funded clinical trial called the Learning Early About Peanut (LEAP) study showed that introducing peanut-containing foods to infants at high risk for developing peanut allergy was safe and led to an 81 percent relative reduction in the subsequent development of peanut allergy. Based on the strength of these results, NIAID established another coordinating committee, which convened an expert panel to update the 2010 Guidelines to specifically address the prevention of peanut allergy.
