Rockets have been fired into Israel from Hamas-controlled territory in occupied Gaza. As Margaret Evans reports, the growing conflict is drawing concern from countries in the region and around the World.”Importantly, Israel does not occupy the Gaza Strip. Accordingly, it was wrong for CBC Radio to make this statement. HonestReporting Canada engaged senior CBC executives to ensure that CBC broadcast an immediate on-air correction to set the record straight. We are pleased to note that CBC promptly recognized its error and agreed to amend subsequent newscasts to reflect this information.

As a consequence, there have been reports of prohibition-style smuggling and sugar syrups labelled as maple syrup permeating the market. Fingerprinting maple syrup glowAs such, there is a need for the development of more accurate and rapid testing tools to monitor maple syrup fraud. Our research team at the University of Guelph has been developing methods to detect maple syrup fraud. Our study examines the adulteration of dark and amber maple syrups with common maple syrup adulterants, at percentages ranging from one to 50 per cent. These methods don’t work well for maple syrup because the extensive processing required to transform sap into syrup potentially degrades the DNA.

Here's a great podcast that tells a bizarre, disturbing, and incredibly sad story. It's hosted by Pauline Dakin, and is based on her 2017 memoir, "Run, Hide, Repeat," which won the 2018 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. In the 5-episode podcast, also called "Run, Hide, Repeat," Dakin recounts a confusing and stressful childhood full of secrets, spent on the run from a motley crew of boogeymen. Eventually Dakin unearths the truth behind all of the fear and intrigue, but this newfound clarity is accompanied by many mixed emotions. Run Hide Repeat is the story of Pauline's life on the run, her quest for the truth – and her search for forgiveness.

The organization has just published a guide for newcomers called Le passé et le présent: La Région Évangeline. She estimates there are about 20 newcomers either working or living in the Évangéline Region right now, and she hopes the guide will be of use to them.

This story came out of our CBC community bureau in the Évangéline Region.

This Solomon, however, belongs to something he calls Urban Renaissance, a think tank based in Toronto. If this is an example of a Canadian “think tank” then one could easily believe that our best brains have left Canada and what’s left is in think tanks. I suggest he and his think tank inquire into the agricultural chemical companies. One wonders if he is real, but the scary part is there are probably more like him swimming around in that think tank. Who pays the wages of this think tank?

Canada will likely wait for U.S. to investigate leaks: expertOTTAWA — A national security expert says Canada will likely wait for American security services to investigate an apparent leak of Pentagon documents that appear to detail U.S. and NATO operations in Ukraine, rather than launching a probe of its own. The leaked documents describe claims, which The Canadian Press has not independently verified, by Russian-backed hackers that they successfully accessed Canada's natural gas infrastructure. "These intelligence leaks are bound to have some kind of impact on the intelligence relationship between the United States and Ukraine, which is so important to both countries," he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 10, 2023. — With files from The Associated PressDavid Fraser, The Canadian Press

Canada’s Ambassador to the United States, Arnold Henney, joined by his colleague Saul Rae (father of current UN Ambassador Bob Rae) had harsh words for the U.S. Congress on this date in 1967. Henney and Rae traveled to the State Department to officially register Canada’s protests over the role the naming of Norman as a suspected communist by a Congressional committee had played in the suicide of Canada’s Ambassador to Egypt. An American memorandum of the conversation attests to the gravity of the situation. Norman had jumped to his death from a Cairo rooftop only five days before. “The (Canadian) Ambassador said he could not over-emphasize the seriousness of the situation,” the memo stated.

Serreze says sea ice cover was “really low” this winter in the Barents Sea, off the northern coasts of Norway and Russia. In the Beaufort Sea, north of the Northwest Territories, there have been some of the biggest losses of summer sea ice, he said. If there is no summer sea ice in the Beaufort Sea, it means the “seasonal” ice that forms in the winter is relatively thin. Disappearing summer sea iceNot all Arctic sea ice behaves the same way. “That’s because the basic circulation of the sea ice cover packs the ice up against the shore there.

“Vierge” draws on her experience of gendered expectations around sexuality. “It completely changed my perspective about how African stories could be told onstage and what audiences would be interested in,” said Mutombo of that Jocelyn Bioh play. But then a lot of people who called just wanted to talk.”There were, Bautista underlined, plenty of gross and creepy calls too. “It’s a way of releasing tension as a group and it’s wonderful to watch.”“Vierge” plays at Factory Theatre from April 8 to 30. The “Love You Wrong Time” shows at Superfresh and the Emmet Ray are sold out.

Members of the Newfoundland Rogues travelled to Sheshatshiu this week to host a basketball clinic with the Sheshatshiu Eagles. (John Gaudi/CBC - image credit)John Gaudi/CBCAlthough the Newfoundland Rogues play basketball professionally, they say they can learn a thing or two from the Sheshatshiu Eagles. Players Mason Gabriel and Joseph Nuna, affectionately nicknamed Big Shaq and Baby Shaq by Rogues players referencing Shaquille O'Neal, say they'll take away tons of positives from playing with professionals. Williams echoed the sentiment, saying it may not be long before the Big Land has its first professional basketball player. "Why not be the first from Labrador to be a professional basketball player?

This bunny was born at Honey's Bunnies Rabbit Rescue in Seaforth, N.S., after its mother was found in the streets of Berwick last month. Amy Honey, who runs Honey's Bunnies Rabbit Rescue in Seaforth, N.S., would know. You should get a chocolate bunny if you want a bunny or get a stuffed bunny if you want a bunny," she told CBC Radio's Mainstreet Halifax. Rabbits are often adopted as gifts for Easter, but people need to understand that they're 10-15 year commitments, she said. What you need to know before adoptingHoney said if you want to adopt a rabbit, education is critical.

Here are tips to help understand your HOA’s inspection contract to ensure your HOA is not paying for unnecessary costs. If it’s not the HOA’s responsibility, it does not fall under the inspection requirement. An “exterior elevated element” is a component extending beyond the exterior building walls that has a walking surface over six feet above ground level. Many associations have balcony patios that are partially within the main structure of the building or walkways, which are part of the main building structure, or other areas that do not protrude from the main building. The more locations in the HOA, the less percentage of the locations need to be inspected to gain a statistically valid sampling.

Unique to Waterloo engineering, the adjustment factor helps admissions sort through its annual flood of applications. A calculation of historical student performance, it is used to figure out if the grades at one high school may be more reflective of success in Waterloo engineering than grades at another. Last year, almost the entire incoming class had a high school average of more than 90 per cent and nearly two-thirds boasted at least 95 per cent. “All applicants are assessed individually on their merits, and none are excluded by the adjustment factor,” King’s said in a statement. Preston High School and the Waterloo Region District School Board said they will be reaching out to the university after being made aware that Preston had a high adjustment factor (20).

The budget has been widely criticized as a spendthrift fiscal plan that could condemn Canada to years of debt-induced anemic economic growth. “Big spending, big deficits, big debt, high taxes, high inflation and bond market challenges are not the path to prosperity,” Scotiabank economist Derek Holt wrote on Budget Day. That was a slap at the Trudeau government’s prebudget signalling that this would be a “restraint” budget with only the leanest of new spending measures. Lost in the outrage were some salient facts suggesting that Ottawa’s latest fiscal plan, while hardly bereft of shortcomings, is a responsible document. The bottom line is that Budget 2023 is far closer to a genuine restraint budget than its fiscally conservative critics acknowledge.
