In one major incident (new window) in June, a Chinese navy ship overtook a U.S. navy ship, then turned hard to cut it off, forcing the Americans to take evasive action in the disputed Taiwan Strait. Enlarge image (new window) Tensions are high aboard HMCS Ottawa, as China asserts itself in the waters off Japan. But the Chinese ship remained so close to the group that it is featured in the image.

That used to be sufficient to allow IRCC to finish processing their citizenship applications. But delays for processing citizenship for adopted kids are now running close to two years, well past the expiry of temporary visas.

Hanniman said he isn’t looking forward to dealing with IRCC when it finally gets around to processing Aleksandar’s paperwork. Processing delays and red tape have become a common complaint for those dealing with Canada’s immigration bureaucracy.

“It just takes strong partnerships between the communities and other parties to make these solutions possible.”The majority of internet across Canada’s Arctic is satellite-based. The idea for the project in Ulukhaktok goes back to 2019 when the community decided to partner with The Internet Society, an international non-profit that works to improve internet access and accessibility, and also has a special focus on underserved communities.

In the end, Ulukhaktok decided on using a hamlet Starlink connection—funded by the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation— as the backhaul for their community network. “Only those who had like Starlink accounts in the Hay River could have any kind of internet access,” she said.

Lower heat to a simmer, cover, and cook another 10 minutes until sausages are cooked through.
