While boarding a cruise ship these days is now done via an appointment system, backups will occur, especially in San Diego when two vessels are docked the same day. San Diego’s B Street Terminal, developed in the 1980s, is the principal location for passengers boarding ships and is scheduled to undergo some upgrades. Because space is limited, long lines can form on occasion during the check-in process. We’d especially like to hear from those passengers who boarded on a day when two ships were docked at the B Street Pier. AdvertisementWe are seeking your input as part of a story we are doing on plans to upgrade the B Street Terminal.

Stone chimney is all that remains of a world class grindstone quarryOn the rocky shore of a quiet Rockport beach, a large stone chimney appears to be about to plunge into the Bay of Fundy. “But at some point, the quarry that we’re actually in now begins its story, as far as we know, around 1814. Back then, grindstones were a big deal.”This photo from Rockport shows a partially finished grindstone and evidence of quarrying. Sandstone also used for constructionStone from the quarries in the area was also known as a very good building stone. (Provincial Archives of New Brunswick)Today, all that remains of an industry that shipped thousands of tons of grindstone and employed thousands of workers is the stone chimney in Rockport, on a “small precarious outcrop that erodes daily,” Upham said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joined thousands from the Ukrainian community, and their supporters, in downtown Toronto on Friday night. Trudeau, Premier Doug Ford and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre each spoke to the cheering crowd at Nathan Phillips Square where the Solidarity March for Ukraine gathered after beginning at Yonge-Dundas Square. The global march, to mark the one-year anniversary of Ukraine’s resistance to Russia’s invasion, was held in an estimated 300 cities in 38 countries around the world. Earlier Friday, Trudeau announced more weapons for Ukraine on Friday as people rallied across Canada to mark 365 days of death and violence since Russia’s invasion began. Canada will donate four additional battle tanks to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, growing Canada’s contribution to eight tanks in total, Trudeau said.

On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled more Canadian commitments to Ukraine in the form of four battle tanks and additional ammunition, accompanied by sanctions for more Russian businesses and individuals. This comes as the country marks its sixth year embroiled in a war, as a result of Russian President Vladimir Putin‘s “cowardly acts”. Along with the tanks and ammunition, Canada has also provided over $5 billion in aid and military equipment such as air defence systems, rocket launchers and defensive equipment. The Ukrainian Canadian Congress (UCC) urged Canada to take a leadership role and provide more aid, including fighter jets and a full trade embargo if Russia is declared a terrorist state. Several rallies were held across the country Friday to call for Putin to end the war in Ukraine.

Provincial appointees and a lobbyist joined prominent developers as guests at the wedding of Premier Doug Ford’s daughter, according to a seating chart of the celebration. An MPP asking the integrity commissioner for an opinion is different from an official investigation, which can only be started by a complaint by another MPP. Fidani-Diker previously worked as a political staffer for Premier Ford and his late brother Rob. Ford says wedding was a private event with friendsEarlier this month, the Star reported on how three developers who stand to benefit from recent provincial decisions attended Ford’s daughter’s wedding. As Global News first reported, Ford sought advice from the integrity commissioner months after his daughter’s wedding events, including the wedding and stag-and-doe, after being asked about developers who attended the festivities.

Trudeau expressed his frustration, saying he believes its wrong for Google to prevent Canadians from accessing news, rather than paying journalists for their work. Laurentian University professor April Lindgren said the blocking of news content was “unprecedented” and suggested it was started in response to Bill C-18 passing its second reading in the Senate. The proposed law would require Google and Facebook‘s parent company, Meta, to pay Canadian news publishers and broadcasters for the news articles shown on their platforms. Money gained from this could cover a third of news content creation costs in Canada. Altogether, Trudeau’s disapproval proves that it is of utmost importance in Canada to ensure that journalists are respected and appropriately compensated for their work.

“There is a lot of CBC bashing going on, somewhat stoked by the leader of the Opposition (Pierre Poilievre),” Catherine Tait, president of the CBC, told the Globe and Mail in a recent interview. Ms. Tait has demonstrated a failure to understand the appropriate role of a Crown corporation president. Senior officials, especially deputy ministers and Crown corporation presidents, are supposed to have political acuity. How should Crown corporation leaders conduct themselves in dealing with an attack on their organization from a member of Parliament? The substance and the tenor of Macklem’s remarks are appropriate for a Crown corporation head when responding to a politician’s criticism.
