TORONTO - Bubbles filled the sky and cheers rang through the streets of Toronto on Sunday as thousands of colourfully-clad revelers at Canada’s largest Pride parade voiced their support for a community facing rising levels of hate and intolerance. “Pride is a celebration but it’s also a protest,” said Sarah Rice, who travelled from London, Ont., to take in the festivities. Pride Toronto, organizer of Sunday’s parade featuring at least 250 participating groups, said it spent twice as much money on policing for this year’s event than it did in 2022. But attendees said the environment that makes extra security necessary also makes it all the more important to celebrate Pride and show solidarity with the LGBTQ community. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has attended Toronto’s Pride parade in the past, missed this year’s festivities due to a two-day summit of Nordic leaders in Iceland.

Canada is one of the biggest exporters of recyclable paper to India, but that paper is often contaminated with plastic waste, leaving a country struggling with its own waste management and pollution problems to deal with Canada’s dirty laundry. Muzaffarnagar, three hours north of the capital Delhi, is home to 30 paper mills, where recycled paper products are turned into books, newsprint, tissue paper and cardboard. The mills reportedly receive around 20,000 tonnes of imported waste paper a month. Much of that comes from Canada and the U.S.CBC News spoke with dozens of paper mill operators in Muzaffarnagar. They said the plastic waste in Canadian imports often exceeds the two per cent contamination limit permitted by Indian regulations, with some bales stuffed with huge quantities of hard-to-recycle plastic items like water bottles, packaging containers, and courier packaging.

Strange ocean bedfellows these, 3,800 metres down, the Titan and the Titanic, now inextricably linked in lore, if not permanently in location. The Titanic, many experts will tell you, was sunk as much by hubris as by an iceberg; the Titan and its occupants, some will say, by ironically not heeding the lessons of history. Down there also now, 500 metres from the bow of the Titanic, lie the shattered remains of the hull of the Titan submersible. And I think we’re fascinated by that.”The story of the Titanic is the story of the cost of hubris. Gibson understands the ongoing fascination with the Titanic, not just aboard the Titan, but in a far broader sense.
