Strutting their Feathers: An inside look at the Peacock Wine Bar Experience | SaltWireOTTAWA — With wildfires leading to evacuations in Yellowknife and Kelowna Friday, Meta should reverse its “unacceptable” and “reckless” decision to block news content on its platforms in Canada, Liberal government ministers said. “I’m asking them to go back on their decision and allow people to have access to news and information in general,” Transport Minister Pablo Rodriguez said during a press conference about the wildfires. Canadians and Canadian news outlets can’t currently post or share any news content on Facebook or Instagram. The entirety of Yellowknife, N.W.T., is under an evacuation order, and evacuations are also underway in parts of Kelowna, B.C. In a statement Friday, a Meta spokesperson pointed to the company’s “safety check” feature, which allows people to mark themselves as safe in an emergency.

To conduct the research, 43 scientists from 26 international institutions reviewed 395 scientific papers on Arctic cod published between 1954 and 2023. They are also an important food source for Arctic marine mammals as well as for Inuit and other Arctic Indigenous peoples. While adult Arctic cod are described as resilient, eggs and young cod are especially vulnerable to ecosystem changes stemming from diminishing sea ice and warming oceans. “The designation of conservation areas and constraints on shipping can help alleviate climate change impacts on Arctic cod by limiting pollution and protecting key habitats. “Our findings emphasize the urgent need for action to mitigate climate change impacts on Arctic cod populations,” Geoffroy said.

I am concerned that the parties' marital and financial relationship was designed, in whole or in part, to mislead Canadian immigration authorities and/or Chinese currency regulators, Branch wrote in a judgment on Tuesday (new window). The parties' conflicts during the marriage at least suggest that they were trying to wrestle with their problems rather than simply biding their time before a pre-planned divorce, Branch wrote. Then, just two weeks after the divorce, his ex-wife purported to lend him $600,000, the judge wrote. If the respondent required funds, one would have assumed that his ex-wife would have been one of his last options, not his first, Branch wrote. In his divorce order, Branch equally divided ownership of the disputed jewellery and awarded He 75-per-cent ownership of the UBC apartment.

Why is Canada’s 2023 fire season so bad? The advancing flames clear debris from the forest floor and cycle nutrients through the soil, allowing new growth to emerge, while the heat opens the cones of black spruce trees, releasing the seeds within. A mix of young and old forest supports a vast array of wildlife — including moose and caribou, predators like wolves, owls, foxes and martens, their small prey, and more than 300 species of migratory songbird that breed in the boreal each summer. However, due to human-caused climate change, boreal forests today are experiencing longer summers and warmer and drier conditions, making it easier for fires to ignite and spread. And as fires become more frequent and intense, parts of the boreal don’t have enough time to rejuvenate between burns, making them less resilient and productive.
