Former prime minister, 'private citizen' Stephen Harper says he could 'easily' be leader again-[Yahoo Canada News]-Megan DeLaire-May 16, 2018

As prime minister of Canada from 2006 to 2015 Stephen Harper was known for being reserved, reticent, and and tight-lipped with media.As a “private citizen,” as Justin Trudeau described him last week, Harper appears to have found his voice, particularly when it comes to foreign affairs, populism and the Conservative leadership.A Globe and Mail story published on May 14 referred to video of a 55-minute-long interview at the Standford Graduate School of Business in which Harper says he could “easily” still be leader of the Conservative Party. Speaking to an audience in Stanford, Calif. in February, Harper said he could have turned the party into his “political vehicle” during his leadership if he’d wanted to, but that he chose not to amass too much power for the party’s sake.“I could have wielded a lot more power,” he said. “I think I probably could still easily be leader of my party if I wanted to. I mean, I’m de facto the founder of my party.”Harper has made his views known on a handful of occasions since losing to Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in 2015 federal election. Most recently, he added his name to a list of former world leaders behind a full-page ad in the New York Times endorsing Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.Wow. Full page ad in @nytimes signed by @stephenharper and former Australian PM John Howard pic.twitter.com/ABNQdCe4Pf— Norman Spector (@nspector4) May 10, 2018-The act prompted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to comment that Harper is entitled to his opinion as a “private citizen” but that the current federal government continues to support the 2015 deal.In April, he was criticized for congratulating Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on a successful election campaign fueled by anti-immigrant rhetoric.And during the Stanford University talk in February, Harper, whose non-fiction book about the NHL was published in 2013, announced he is writing a new book about populism and the future of the conservative movement.“I often think that when you see the term populist used in the media today … we describe outcomes we like as democracy and outcomes we don’t like as populism,” he said in defence of populism. “So I think there’s a bit of a loaded term there.”What do you think? Is it a former prime minister’s place to comment on foreign affairs and party politics?

Guatemala set to open Jerusalem embassy, days after US-President and foreign minister of Central American country to attend ceremony in capital, along with Netanyahu-By TOI staff and Raphael Ahren-MAY 16,18

Guatemala was set to open its embassy in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, two days after the US moved its mission to the capital.The 10 a.m. dedication of the Jerusalem embassy will be attended by the Central American country’s president, Jimmy Morales, and foreign minister, Sandra Jovel, as well as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.Netanyahu will hold an official meeting with Morales and Jovel at his office later on Wednesday afternoon and will host the Guatemalan president and his wife for dinner, according to the prime minister’s schedule.In 1959, Guatemala was the first country to open its embassy in Jerusalem, but later moved it to Tel Aviv, following international rejection of Israeli claims to East Jerusalem.Tomorrow, #Guatemala will return its embassy to our eternal capital, #Jerusalem! President @jimmymoralesgt – our city is grateful for your leadership!This year in Jerusalem! pic.twitter.com/DmPneq4FQd— Mayor Nir Barkat (@NirBarkat) May 15, 2018-But last December, US President Donald Trump bucked decades of US foreign policy by formally recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and setting in motion plans to move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv.The US embassy was officially opened in Jerusalem on Monday in an event attended by a large high-level American delegation, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and Israeli leaders.Guatemala was the first nation after the US to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, on December 24, 2017.Earlier this month, Guatemalan diplomatic staff began transferring furniture and other equipment into their unfinished office in the capital’s Malha Technology Park.Carlos Meyer, one of two Guatemalan diplomats stationed in Israel, has already moved to a new apartment in the capital’s Nahlaot neighborhood. The ambassador, Sara Solís Castañeda, is expected to commute to Jerusalem from her Herzliya residence until she finds a new home in the capital.

State Department: Hamas using embassy move as excuse for violence-Washington says protests along the Gaza border are 'nothing new,' being fueled by terrorist group in an 'irresponsible choice'-By TOI staff and Agencies-MAY 16,18

Hamas, the terrorist organization that rules Gaza, is using the unveiling of the American embassy in Jerusalem as an “excuse” to encourage violence, the US State Department said Tuesday.When pressed by journalists in Washington, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert declined to follow other Western countries in calling for restraint from Israel, or even all parties, after 60 Palestinians were killed in violent clashes with Israeli troops on the Gaza border on Monday.“This is a complex region,” Nauert said.While asserting that “we regret the loss of life; we regret the loss of all life,” Nauert also reiterated the White House position: “Israel has a right to defend itself.”Nauert also refused to link the violence with the new American embassy, unveiled Monday after the United States recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December.“We have watched the demonstrations over the past six weeks. These demonstrations are nothing new,” Nauert said. “If Hamas wants to use that as an excuse to rile people up and to encourage violence, that is their choice. It’s an irresponsible choice.”On Monday, amid an international outcry over the deadly clashes on the Gaza border, the White House fully backed Israel’s response to the riots, while laying the blame squarely on Hamas.“We’re aware of the reports of continued violence in Gaza today. The responsibility for these tragic deaths rests squarely with Hamas,” said Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah.“Hamas is intentionally and cynically provoking this response and, as the secretary of state said, Israel has the right to defend itself,” he added.Earlier on Tuesday, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said Israel had acted with exceptional “restraint” in dealing with the clashes on the Gaza border.Haley was a rare voice slamming the Hamas terror group and speaking out in favor of Israel at an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council called over Monday’s deadly fighting.After ambassadors joined in a rare moment of silence for those killed, Haley said Israel was facing Hamas extremists who incited people who lobbed flaming objects toward the Israeli side of the border fence and urged protest marchers to breach it.“Make no mistake, Hamas is pleased with the results from yesterday,” she said.Rejecting criticism of Israel voiced by other UN ambassadors, Haley said that none of their countries would have acted with the same moderation.“Who among us would accept this type of activity on your border? No one would,” she charged. “No country in this chamber would act with more restraint than Israel has.”Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said that 60 Palestinians were killed and more than 2,700 were wounded on Monday amid the biggest riots and rallies in a weeks-long campaign of protests against Israel, known collectively as the “March of Return.”Tens of thousands of Palestinians joined Hamas-organized protests on the Gaza border and hundreds of others clashed with Israeli troops on the outskirts of Jerusalem and in other locations in the West Bank, marking the 70th anniversary of what they call the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” of Israel’s creation in 1948, as well as protesting the relocation of the US embassy to Israel’s capital on Monday afternoon.Israel has blamed Hamas for the deadly violence, saying the terror group encouraged and led the protests, which included attacks on Israeli troops and attempts to breach the border fence. The IDF had said Sunday that Hamas planned to send armed terrorists through any breach in the fence to “massacre” Israelis.The Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups acknowledged Tuesday that 13 operatives from the organizations were among the 60 reported killed by IDF fire at the Gaza fence protests a day prior. Israel said at least 24 of the dead were members of terror groups.Haley insisted the violence had nothing to do with the opening of a US embassy in contested Jerusalem, saying that Gaza’s Hamas rulers have been inciting violence there for years. Palestinians condemned the embassy opening as taking Israel’s side in their conflict.“Those who suggest the violence has anything to do with the embassy in Jerusalem is sorely mistaken,” she said, “rather it comes from people who will not accept Israel in any part of Israel.”

Netanyahu says Hamas put Gaza children in line of Israeli fire-In interview with US television network, PM accuses terror group of using 'civilians -- women, children' as human shields in clashes with IDF-By Agencies and TOI staff-MAY 18,18

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas Tuesday of deliberately putting children in the line of fire amid an outcry over violence on the Gaza border in which dozens of Palestinians were killed during clashes with the Israeli army.Netanyahu told US television that troops were left with no choice but to use lethal force during protests on Monday, and responsibility for the deaths lay entirely with the terrorist group that runs the Gaza Strip.“They [Hamas] are pushing civilians — women, children — into the line of fire with a view of getting casualties,” Netanyahu told the CBS network.“We’ve tried to minimize casualties, they are trying to incur casualties in order to put pressure on Israel which is horrible,” he added. “These things are avoidable. If Hamas had not pushed them there, nothing would happen. Hamas holds responsibility for doing this and they’re deliberately doing it.”A string of foreign governments have voiced alarm about the use of live fire against the protesters, with Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accusing the Jewish state of “state terror.”But Netanyahu said other countries would have done the same to prevent its borders being breached.“I don’t know of any army that would do anything differently, if you had to protect your border against people who say ‘we are going to destroy you and we are going to flood into your country,'” he said.“You try other means, you try all sort of means, you try non-lethal means and they don’t work so you are left with bad choices, it’s a bad deal. You go for below the knee and sometimes it doesn’t work unfortunately,” the prime minister added.The US government has also placed the blame for the violence with Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip and does not recognize Israel’s right to exist.Speaking at the UN on Tuesday, US Ambassador Nikki Haley said Hamas would have been “pleased with the results from yesterday” when 60 Gazans were killed.“The Hamas terrorist organization has been inciting violence for years, long before the United States decided to move our embassy,” she told an emergency meeting of the Security Council.The IDF said Hamas and other terror groups had used the protests as cover to carry out attacks against Israel, including shooting at troops and trying to cross the border fence.The Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups acknowledged Tuesday that 13 operatives from their organizations were among the fatalities Monday. Israel said at least 24 of the dead were members of terror groups.

Hamas said to offer Israel quiet at Gaza border if airstrikes curbed-As riots at security fence appear quelled, Israeli army reportedly concerned about possible outbreak of violence in West Bank-By TOI staff-MAY 16,18

The Hamas terrorist group was reportedly eager to reduce the number of Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, offering to curb the violence along the border in exchange for a reprieve from Israeli raids.According to the Walla news website, Hamas conveyed to the Israel Defense Forces that it would prevent Palestinians protesters from clashing along the Gaza-Israel border if the Israeli military launches fewer airstrikes on its positions in the coastal enclave.The reported offer came as the number of Palestinian rioters dropped dramatically on Tuesday, with only some 4,000 said to join the border clashes, according to the IDF. That was compared to some 40,000 Palestinians who participated in violent riots along the Gaza security fence on Monday.As the Gaza border protests appeared to be thinning out, the army was concerned about the prospects of an uptick in violence in the West Bank over the month-long Ramadan holiday, which began on Tuesday evening, according to Channel 10.Tens of thousands of Palestinians joined Hamas-organized protests on the Gaza border and hundreds of others clashed with Israeli troops on the outskirts of Jerusalem and in other locations in the West Bank, marking the 70th anniversary of what they call the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” of Israel’s creation in 1948, as well as protesting the relocation of the US embassy to Israel’s capital on Monday afternoon.Israel has blamed Hamas for the deadly violence, saying the terror group encouraged and led the Gaza protests, which included attacks on Israeli troops and attempts to breach the border fence. The IDF had said Sunday that Hamas planned to send armed terrorists through any breach in the fence to “massacre” Israelis.As of Tuesday, 60 Palestinians were reported killed in the clashes by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, and another 2,771 injured to varying degrees. The Israel Defense Forces said that, in total, at least 24 of the people killed by Israeli troops on Monday were later identified as known members of terrorist organizations.“Most of the people killed belonged to the Hamas terror group, and some to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” the army said, citing the findings of a joint investigation with the Shin Bet security service.For Hamas, the terror group that rules Gaza and seeks Israel’s destruction, Monday’s border protest was the culmination of a weeks-long campaign to try to break the blockade on the territory. Israel says the blockade is necessary to prevent Hamas from acquiring weaponry and attacking the Jewish state.On Tuesday, the army said Israeli troops fended off an attempted incursion into Israeli territory by a cell of eight armed Hamas operatives in the northern Gaza Strip during Monday’s border clashes. All eight suspected terrorists were killed in the gun battle with soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces’ elite Maglan Unit, the military said.Following the foiled attack, the IDF also bombarded a Hamas outpost in the northern Gaza Strip, using a tank and an aircraft, the army said.  In total, the IDF said four shooting attacks by Palestinians against Israeli soldiers took place throughout Monday along the Gaza border, as well as four attacks with improvised explosive devices.The Israeli military said its aircraft had struck 11 “terror targets” in a Hamas military compound Monday and that tanks targeted two Hamas posts.Judah Ari Gross contributed to this report.

Ash cloud from Hawaii volcano sparks red alert for aviation-[Reuters]-By Terray Sylvester-YAHOONEWS-May 16, 2018

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Explosions intensified on Hawaii's Kilauea volcano on Tuesday, spewing ash and triggering a red alert for aircraft for the first time since the latest eruption began 12 days ago.Ash and volcanic smog, or vog, as it is called, rose to 12,000 feet (3,657 meters) above Kilauea's crater and floated southwest, showering cars on Highway 11 with gray dust and prompting an "unhealthy air" advisory in the community of Pahala, 18 miles (29 km) from the summit.An aviation red alert means a volcanic eruption is under way that could spew ash along aircraft routes, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) says on its website.Ash was also a new hazard for residents of Hawaii's Big Island, already grappling with volcanic gas and lava that has destroyed 37 homes and other structures and forced the evacuation of about 2,000 residents.A shift in winds was expected to bring ash and vog inland on Wednesday and make them more concentrated, said John Bravender of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)."We're observing more or less continuous emission of ash now with intermittent, more energetic ash bursts or plumes," Steve Brantley, a deputy scientist in charge at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), said on a conference call with reporters.The observatory warned the eruption could become more violent."At any time, activity may become more explosive, increasing the intensity of ash production and producing ballistic projectiles near the vent," the HVO said in a statement on the change in aviation alert level to red from orange.Ash is not poisonous but irritates the nose, eyes and airways. It can make roads slippery and large emissions could cause the failure of electrical power lines, said USGS chemist David Damby.NEW FISSURE-The eruption has hit the island's tourism industry.Big Island summer hotel bookings have dropped by almost half from last year, Rob Birch, executive director of the Island of Hawaii Visitor Bureau, told journalists on a conference call.College exchange student Constantin Plinke, 24, was planning to go to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park before it was shut."We had a big list of things to do and maybe 80 percent of them were in the national park," he said, after stopping by the side of the road to watch ash plumes rising into the air. "It's sad."The area taking the brunt of the eruption is about 25 miles (40 km) down Kilauea's eastern flank, near the village of Pahoa. Lava has burst from the ground to tear through housing developments and farmland, threatening one of the last exit routes from coastal areas, state Highway 132.The latest fissure in the earth opened on Tuesday, spewing lava and toxic gases that pushed air quality into "condition red" around Lanipuna Gardens and nearby farms, causing "choking and inability to breathe," the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory and Hawaii County Civil Defense said.Road crews put metal plates over steaming cracks on nearby Highway 130 and reopened it to give coastal residents an escape route should a lava flow reach the ocean and block another road, Highway 137, Civil Defense said.No major injuries or deaths have been reported from the eruption.A looming menace remains the possibility of an "explosive eruption" of Kilauea, an event last seen in 1924. Pent-up steam could drive a 20,000-foot (6,100-meter) ash plume out of the crater and scatter debris over 12 miles (19 km), the USGS said.(Reporting by Terray Sylvester in Pahoa; additional reporting by Jolyn Rosa in Honolulu; Writing by Andrew Hay in Taos, New Mexico; Editing by Jonathan Oatis and Clarence Fernandez)

Ash threatens Hawaii communities after volcano explosions-[Reuters]-By Terray Sylvester-YAHOONEWS-May 15, 2018

PAHOA, Hawaii (Reuters) - Rockfalls and explosions at the summit of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano shot ash into the air on Tuesday as residents for the first time in the 12-day eruption got text messages from county officials warning them the ash could cause eye and breathing irritation.A plume of gray ash and smoke rose several thousand feet above Kilauea's summit and drifted southwest to the Ka'u district and further downwind, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said."Excessive exposure can cause eye/breathing irritation. Motorists advised to drive with caution,” said the County of Hawaii Civil Defense text message.The ash threatened Ka'u district, which is about 30 miles southwest of Kilauea. To the east of the summit, toxic gas emanating from steaming gashes around 25 miles (40 km) toward the coast added to the danger facing residents, whose escape routes are threatened with closure because of lava flows, officials said.Dangerous levels of sulfur dioxide gas and other emissions prompted state health officials to urge residents to stay indoors or leave the eastern end of Hawaii's Big Island, which has been ravaged by volcanic activity since May 3.A 20th fissure releasing lava and gases has opened on Kilauea's side, state officials said Tuesday.Lava oozing out of fissures have hit the island's lower Puna area especially hard, tearing through farmland some 25 miles (40 km) east of the volcano's smoking summit, destroying 37 homes and other structures and posing a risk of blocking one of the last exit routes, state Highway 132.There have been no major injuries or death reported from the eruption. Officials have ordered around 2,000 residents to evacuate the Leilani Estates area in the eastern Puna district where fissures first appeared. No evacuations have been ordered from Ka'u district.Lava from one of the fissures has been moving toward a coastal dirt road that is also a key access route for some 2,000 residents in the southeastern area of the Big Island, home to around 200,000 people.Mass evacuations would be triggered if either highway is hit by lava, Hawaii National Guard spokesman Major Jeff Hickman said.President Donald Trump on Friday approved a disaster declaration that makes federal relief available to the state.The Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has a team in place on the Big Island, said it would assist the state with at least 75 percent of emergency measures and replacing damaged infrastructure.The U.S. Geological Survey has warned that pent-up steam could cause a violent explosion at the volcano crater, launching a 20,000-foot (6,100-meter) plume that could spread debris over 12 miles (19 km).Scientists had expected such explosions by the middle of this month as Kilauea's lava lake fell below the water table. But water may not be entering the crater, as feared, and gas and steam may be safely venting, scientists said.(Reporting by Terray Sylvester in Pahoa; additional reporting by Jolyn Rosa in Honolulu and Andrew Hay in Taos, New Mexico; Writing by Peter Szekely; editing by Jonathan Oatis and Diane Craft)

Skip spring, straight to summer? Alberta, B.C., New Brunswick smash daily heat records-Jonathan Rumley-Yahoo Canada News-May 15, 2018

The warm air of spring is finally here and some communities are feeling it like never before.Three provinces had areas that saw new daily heat records snapped on Monday, according to Environment Canada. The new highs were set in Alberta, British Columbia and New Brunswick.Here’s a look at the new maximum temperatures established on May 14, 2018, with statistics provided by the federal weather agency:-Alberta-Claresholm — 28.6 C (Old record of 27.5 C set in 1997)-Drumheller — 30.0 C (Old record of 29.0 C set in 1987)-Waterton Park Gate — 24.1 C (Old record of 23.8 C set in 2012)--British Columbia-Clinton — 28.1 C (Old record of 27.2 C set in 1973)-Kelowna — 30.2 C (Old record of 30.0 C set in 1973)-Malahat — 26.7 C (Old record of 27.5 C set in 1997)-Squamish — 29.2 C (Old record of 28.8 C set in 2006)-Whistler — 31.0 C (Old record of 28.9 C set in 1973)-New Brunswick-Miscou Island — 20.0 C (Old record of 19.0 C set in 2009)-Potential for flooding-Canadians can thank a heatwave sweeping across the West Coast for the record-breaking temperatures.The warm weather shouldn’t come as a surprise as southern British Columbia is expected to have the best summer in the country, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Brett Anderson told Yahoo Canada earlier this month. Anderson said the real heat will come in July with “a fair amount of days” above 35 C and “drier than normal” conditions.The new highs set Monday came after a Mother’s Day where 11 communities also saw records established, as reported by KelownaNow.Perhaps most notable on the list of record breakers is Whistler, B.C., where the average temperature for this time of year is 15.8 C and a low of -2.5 C was recorded in 1986, according to Environment Canada.The warm conditions is not only pushing the mercury near or above the 30 C mark, it’s also causing flooding in some parts of southern British Columbia.Rapidly-melting snow in the mountains are causing rivers to rise and residents are being warned about potential flooding this week.With files from Sarah Rohoman.

A forest fire is still burning on the outskirts of Miramichi as of Tuesday morning.​"We were able to knock the fire back but unfortunately it's in a remote location," said Mario Berthiaume, deputy fire chief with the Miramichi Fire Department. "There are some hot spots … it's not uncommon for fires to die down in the evening and when the morning begins, the ground starts heating up and the fire becomes active again." Since 4 p.m. on Monday, more than 35 firefighters, police officers, paramedics and forestry officials have been on the scene of the fire along Route 118, or Island View Drive in Nelson-Miramichi.At least five acres has been burned by the blaze.Berthiaume said members of the fire department and the Department of Natural Resources are meeting Tuesday morning, to assess the situation.They also hope to determine what caused the fire in the first place.Frost and rain on the way-One Tuesday morning there were 10 firefighters and 10 members from the provincial department on site. They've broken the fire down into three separate sections, with the Department of Natural Resources working on one section and the fire department working on another. Both firefighters and the province will be working together on the final section. "The weather conditions today are really in our favour," Berthiaume said.Environment Canada has issued a frost advisory for most of the province on Tuesday night. The Miramichi area could also see up to 10 millimetres of rain throughout the evening.Firefighters are hopeful the fire will be extinguished at some point throughout the day."We were able to contain the fire back into some remote areas further back from the properties," Berthiaume said."Right now it doesn't seem to be threatening any properties."-Road to stay open-Route 118 in New Brunswick was temporarily closed Monday, but Berthiaume said it's unlikely the road will close again on Tuesday."We would keep that option open if the weather changes or the fire behaviour changes and we need access to that road," he said.The entire province is closed for burning until, at the earliest, 2 p.m. Tuesday, according to the provincial government. A full burn ban has been in effect since May 9.The province's Forest Fire Watch states Monday's blaze is one of six active fires in New Brunswick — three in the Fredericton area, two in the Miramichi area and one in the Bathurst area.

Prime minister visits Edmonton temple ahead of infrastructure announcements-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-May 15, 2018

Wearing a head scarf and suit, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an appearance at Gurdwara Millwoods in southeast Edmonton Monday.Hundreds packed the temple to witness the brief event with Trudeau, who did not make any public statements. He gave a food bank donation, was presented with a kirpan — a ceremonial dagger worn by Sikhs — and served food to attendees.​The visit comes while closed-door talks on the Trans Mountain pipeline between Kinder Morgan and the federal and provincial governments continue. 'Be among smiling faces' It's not lost on John Soroski, assistant professor of political science at MacEwan University, that Trudeau keeps coming back to Mill Woods.It's the riding of federal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi, who won the seat by 92 votes in the 2015 federal election, after a judicial recount."The Liberals have very few ridings in Alberta as it is," Soroski said. "The government's handling of pipeline issues implies they're probably not likely to increase that. So you really want to try to hang on to whatever you've got."It's a chance for Trudeau to be in the spotlight for things other than the pipeline, like his "close connection with the Sikh community," he explained."That's an opportunity for him to be in Alberta, to have smiling faces around instead of people angrily asking questions about the federal government's support or non-support of the pipeline," Soroski said."It's a good start to your visit if you can be among smiling faces because you'll be among less smiling faces later on."Trudeau's most recent visit to the Edmonton area was in February. The visit included a town hall at MacEwan and a game of pickleball at the Mill Woods Senior and Multicultural Centre.Monday's visit is "out of the blue," said Faron Ellis, research chair of the Citizen Society Research Lab at Lethbridge College."The particular dilemma for this prime minister is coming to Alberta at this time of great sensitivity in federal-provincial relations with many Albertans feeling they're on the losing end, if not being snubbed, being outright ignored are their issues," Ellis said.Albertans want to hear more than campaign rhetoric and platitudes, especially when the clock is ticking on the Trans Mountain pipeline with Kinder Morgan's May 31 deadline, Ellis said."Coming here, doing some campaigning is all good and well, and completely legitimate. Coming here without addressing some of the expectations, or some of the grievances, and having something reasonably substantive to say — particularly on Trans Mountain — is a trip fraught with considerable perils."Trudeau's Alberta visit continues Tuesday, with infrastructure announcements scheduled in Edmonton and Calgary.

London, Ont., physician Tarek Loubani shot in leg near Gaza border-[CBC]-YAHOONEWS-MAY 16, 2018

An Ontario physician who works at the London Health Sciences Centre has been shot in the leg while delivering emergency medicine to protesters on the Gaza Strip.Dr. Tarek Loubani said it happened during a "lull" in the protest Monday, as he was standing with a group of paramedics about 25 metres away from the protest area."There were no fires, there was no smoke. We had clear lines of sight to all three fortified sniper posts," said Loubani.."All of the sudden I heard a bang, and I found myself on the ground. I looked at my leg, I saw blood."19 medical professionals shot.Loubani said his colleague, a paramedic named Musa Abuhassanin, came over and began working on his injured leg.About an hour later, Abuhassanin was shot and killed while attempting to rescue another person, Loubani said.All in all, Loubani said a total of 19 medical professionals were shot Monday.The day was one of the deadliest in Gaza since 2014. Israeli forces killed 59 Palestinians and injured another 2,700. Of those injured, the Gaza Health ministry said 130 were in serious or critical condition."The first rule of medical rescue is that you don't become part of the situation, you're no good to anybody if you're shot too," said Loubani, adding that his team had taken extraordinary measures to identify themselves to snipers as medical professionals.Loubani wore a full green outfit; the paramedics wore high-visibility vests."I know gunshots; I know how to stay safe as well," said Loubani. "Sometimes I do things wrong, but yesterday was not one of those days."Yesterday I did everything right, and it's very hard to believe I wasn't specifically targeted, considering that there was a lull in activity, considering the fact that I was so clearly marked."Thomas Woodley, president of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, said firing on medical personnel is forbidden by the Geneva Convention."Certainly, Dr. Loubani and his colleagues were clearly wearing emergency medical clothing, and they should have been spared any sort of violence from the Israelis," said Woodley.CBC News reached out to Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland for comment. In an email statement, spokesperson Adam Austen said the ministry is concerned about the shooting."Parliamentary secretary Omar Alghabra, as well as consular officials, have been in touch with his family earlier today," said Austen."Canada is very deeply saddened and deplores the violence that has occurred in the Gaza Strip. It is appalling and inexcusable that civilians, members of the media, first responders, and children have been among the victims."Loubani said he hopes to stay in the area, but that his leg injury means he won't be able to work on the front lines. He plans to continue working in the emergency department if his health allows.Loubani's work in the Middle East-Loubani works with the London Health Sciences Centre and the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry, and is known for his work in the 3-D printing of medical devices. He had been in the region, in part, to work on a newly developed 3-D printed tourniquet to stop serious bleeding from gunshot wounds.Loubani said the tourniquets are in high demand because the border blockade makes it difficult to transport medical supplies in and out of the region. When Loubani was shot, he said his colleague Auhassanin asked if he wanted a tourniquet himself. Loubani said he declined."I knew that if I was in Canada I would be tourniqueted, but there just were so few of them and I knew there would be so many more injuries and fatalities. So I said no. He bandaged me up and I went," said Loubani."I have always known that one day [the tourniquet] would be used on me, so that's tremendous incentive to get it right. We want it to be as good as the stuff on the market."Loubani said his main objective has stayed the same: to make sure that patients on the Gaza Strip — or anywhere in the world — can access the same level of care as those at London Health Sciences Centre.He said that can be difficult to do."If you were to take London Health Sciences and throw 2,400 injuries at them, what would they do? And at the end of it, how many doctors would be left standing?" said Loubani."It's normal when you see so much death and destruction to yourself die a little and be destroyed a little .... We're disappointed to not give our patients the care they deserve."

North Korea threatens to cancel US summit over drills-[The Canadian Press]-YAHOONEWS-May 16, 2018

SEOUL, Korea, Republic Of — North Korea on Wednesday cancelled a high-level meeting with South Korea and threatened to scrap a historic summit next month between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over military exercises between Seoul and Washington that Pyongyang has long claimed are invasion rehearsals. A senior North Korean diplomat said Pyongyang will refuse to be pressured into abandoning its nukes.The surprise declaration, which came in a pre-dawn dispatch in North Korea's state media, appears to cool what had been an unusual flurry of outreach from a country that last year conducted a provocative series of weapons tests that had many fearing the region was on the edge of war. It's still unclear, however, whether the North intends to scuttle all diplomacy or merely wants to gain leverage ahead of the planned June 12 talks between Kim and Trump.North Korea's first vice foreign minister, Kim Kye Gwan, said Pyongyang has no interest in a summit with Washington if it's going to be a "one-sided" affair where it's pressured to give up its nukes.He criticized recent comments by Trump's top security adviser, John Bolton, and other U.S. officials who have been talking about how the North should follow the "Libyan model" of nuclear disarmament and provide a "complete, verifiable and irreversible dismantlement." He also took issue with U.S. views that the North should fully relinquish its biological and chemical weapons."We will appropriately respond to the Trump administration if it approaches the North Korea-U.S. summit meeting with a truthful intent to improve relations," he said. "But we are no longer interested in a negotiation that will be all about driving us into a corner and making a one-sided demand for us to give up our nukes and this would force us to reconsider whether we would accept the North Korea-U.S. summit meeting."The North cancelled the talks hours before the two Koreas were to meet at a border village to discuss how to implement their leaders' recent agreements to reduce military tensions along their heavily fortified border and improve their overall ties.It called the two-week Max Thunder drills, which began Monday and reportedly include about 100 aircraft, an "intended military provocation" and an "apparent challenge" to last month's summit between Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, when the leaders met on their border in their countries' third summit talks since their formal division in 1948.The North's official Korean Central News Agency said the U.S. aircraft mobilized for the drills include nuclear-capable B-52 bombers and stealth F-22 fighter jets, two of the U.S. military assets it has previously said are aimed at launching nuclear strikes on the North.South Korea's Defence Ministry said the drills will go on as planned."The United States must carefully contemplate the fate of the planned North Korea-U.S. summit amid the provocative military ruckus that it's causing with South Korean authorities," the North said Wednesday. "We'll keenly monitor how the United States and South Korean authorities will react."Some analysts say bringing up Libya, which dismantled its rudimentary nuclear program in the 2000s in exchange for sanctions relief, would risk derailing any progress in negotiations with the North.Kim Jong Un took power weeks after former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's gruesome death at the hands of rebel forces amid a popular uprising in October 2011. The North has frequently used Gadhafi's death to justify its own nuclear development in the face of perceived U.S. threats.Annual military drills between Washington and Seoul have long been a major source of contention between the Koreas, and analysts have wondered whether their continuation would hurt the detente that, since an outreach by Kim in January, has replaced the insults and threats of war. Earlier — and much larger — springtime drills, which Washington and Seoul toned down, went off without the North's typically fiery condemnation or accompanying weapons tests.South Korea called North Korea's move "regrettable" and demanded a quick return to talks.Seoul's Unification Ministry spokesman Baek Tae-hyun said the North's decision goes against the spirit of last month's inter-Korean summit, where the Koreas' leaders issued a vague vow on the "complete denuclearization" on the Korean Peninsula and pledged permanent peace between the rivals. He didn't provide a straightforward answer on whether Seoul sees the North's talks cancellation as potentially affecting the meeting between Trump and Kim.In Washington, the U.S. State Department emphasized that Kim had previously indicated he understood the need and purpose of the U.S. continuing its long-planned exercises with South Korea. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said the U.S. had not heard anything directly from Pyongyang or Seoul that would change that."We will continue to go ahead and plan the meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un," Nauert said.U.S. Army Col. Rob Manning said the current exercise is part of the U.S. and South Korea's "routine, annual training program to maintain a foundation of military readiness." Manning, a Pentagon spokesman, said the purpose of Max Thunder and exercise Foal Eagle — another training event — is to enhance the two nations' abilities to operate together to defend South Korea."The defensive nature of these combined exercises has been clear for many decades and has not changed," Manning said.Washington and Seoul delayed an earlier round of drills in the spring because of the North-South diplomacy surrounding February's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in the South, which saw Kim send his sister to the opening ceremonies.Kim told visiting South Korean officials in March that he "understands" the drills would take place and expressed hope that they'll be modified once the situation on the peninsula stabilizes, according to the South Korean government.The North's statement Wednesday comes amid a slew of surprising moves in recent weeks.On Tuesday, South Korea's military said North Korea was moving ahead with plans to close its nuclear test site next week, an assessment backed by U.S. researchers who say satellite images show the North has begun dismantling facilities at the site.The site's closure was set to come before the Kim-Trump summit, which had been shaping up as a crucial moment in the decades-long push to resolve the nuclear standoff with the North, which is closing in on the ability to viably target the mainland United States with its long-range nuclear-armed missiles.Despite the North's moves, some experts were skeptical about whether Kim would completely give up a nuclear program that he had pushed so hard to build. The North previously vowed to continue nuclear development unless the United States pulls its 28,500 troops out of South Korea and withdraws its so-called "nuclear umbrella" security guarantee to South Korea and Japan as a condition for its nuclear disarmament.Wednesday's threat could also be targeted at showing a domestic audience that Kim is willing to stand up to Washington. Kim has repeatedly told his people that his nukes are a "powerful treasured sword" that can smash U.S. hostility.North Korea also has a long history of launching provocations or scrapping deals with Seoul and Washington at the last minute.In 2013, North Korea abruptly cancelled reunions for familiesseparatedby the 1950-53 Korean War just days before they were held to protest what it called rising animosities ahead of joint drills between Seoul and Washington. A year earlier in 2012, the North conducted a prohibited long-range rocket launch weeks after it agreed to suspend weapons tests in return for food assistance.___Associated Press writers Kim Tong-hyung in Seoul, South Korea, and Lolita Baldor and Josh Lederman in Washington contributed to this report.Hyung-Jin Kim And Foster Klug, The Associated Press.
