UN chief to make surprise visit to Israel and Palestinian territories amid wave of violence-The Canadian PressBy Aron Heller, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
JERUSALEM - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will make a surprise visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories on Tuesday, in a high-profile gambit to bring an end to a monthlong wave of violence.The visit comes amid unrest that erupted a month ago over tensions surrounding a Jerusalem holy site sacred to Jews and Muslims. It soon spread to Arab neighbourhoods of east Jerusalem and then to the West Bank, Gaza and Israel. A spate of Palestinian attacks, most of which have involved stabbings, has caused panic across Israel and raised fears that the region is on the cusp of a new round of heavy violence.The violence continued in the West Bank on Tuesday. A 24-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces after he stabbed an Israeli military officer and lightly wounded him, the Israeli military and Palestinian health officials said. The military said it happened during a "violent riot" of Palestinian demonstrators.In a separate incident in the West Bank, an Israeli man was killed after being run over during a clash with Palestinians. The man exited his car after Palestinian demonstrators threw stones at it and he began to hit passing Palestinian cars with a large stick, according to an Associated Press photographer who witnessed the incident. The man hit a passing truck with the stick, and the truck ran the man over. The Israeli military confirmed his death.The truck driver turned himself in, saying he hit the Israeli by accident while trying to swerve out of the way, according to a Palestinian security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.Ban, who is currently in Europe, will arrive later Tuesday. He was to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem, the leaders' offices said.Prior to the visit, Ban issued a video message late Monday calling for calm on both sides.He said he understood the Palestinians' frustrations, but that violence would only harm their legitimate aspirations."I know your hopes for peace have been dashed countless times. You are angry at the continued occupation and expansion of settlements," he said. "I am not asking you to be passive, but you must put down the weapons of despair."Addressing Israelis, he said he understood their fears due to the security deterioration, but said there was no military solution."When children are afraid to go to school, when anyone on the street is a potential victim, security is rightly your immediate priority," he said. "But walls, checkpoints, harsh responses by the security forces and house demolitions cannot sustain the peace and safety that you need and must have."Over the past month, nine Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings. In that time, 42 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, including 21 labeled by Israel as attackers, and the rest in clashes with Israeli troops. An Eritrean migrant died after being shot and beaten by a mob that mistakenly believed he was a Palestinian attacker.The initial outbreak of violence was fueled by rumours that Israel was plotting to take over Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, a hilltop compound revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third-holiest shrine and a key national symbol for the Palestinians.Israel has adamantly denied the allegations, saying it has no plans to change the status quo at the site, where Jews are allowed to visit but not pray. Israel has accused Palestinian leaders of incitement to violence over the site. But Jewish visits to the site have doubled since 2010 and senior members of Netanyahu's government have called for Jewish prayer rights, fueling Palestinian concerns about the site.Israel has struggled to contain the attacks. Authorities have blocked roads and placed checkpoints at the entrances of Palestinian neighbourhoods in east Jerusalem. Other security measures include ID checks and requiring some Palestinian residents to lift their shirts and roll up pant legs as they exit their neighbourhoods to prove they are not carrying knives. Soldiers have been deployed in Jerusalem and cities across Israel.On Tuesday, the Israeli military arrested top Hamas official Hassan Yousef in the West Bank, saying he had been "actively instigating and inciting terrorism" by encouraging attacks against Israelis."Hamas' leaders cannot expect to propagate violence and terror from the comfort of their living rooms and pulpits of their mosques," said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military spokesman. Yousef is a co-founder of Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules the Gaza Strip. His son, Mosab, spied for Israel between 1997 and 2007 and wrote a book about his experiences.Also Tuesday, the Israeli military demolished the home of a Palestinian who killed an Israeli woman last year. Maher Hashlamoun rammed his car into 25-year-old Dalia Lemkus in the West Bank last year and stabbed her several times before being shot and killed.His wife told Palestinian radio that soldiers evacuated their three-story building in Hebron and demolished the third floor apartment where her family lived.Lerner said the demolition "sends a clear message that there is a personal price to pay when you are involved in terror."__Associated Press photographer Nasser Shiyoukhi contributed to this report.
Kerry holds out possibility of meeting Netanyahu in Middle East-Reuters – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday held out the possibility that he may meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Middle East rather than in Germany as previously planned."I will be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu either in Germany or in the region," Kerry said during a question and answer session after making a speech on climate change.Kerry's planned separate talks with Netanyahu, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan's King Abdullah aim to reduce violence stirred in part by Palestinian anger over what they see as Jewish encroachment on Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's most sacred site outside Saudi Arabia and also one revered by Jews as the location of two destroyed biblical temples.(Reporting by Arshad Mohammed; Editing by Susan Heavey)
Turnout in federal election hits 68.5 per cent, largest since 1993 election-The Canadian PressBy The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
OTTAWA - Elections Canada says 68.5 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in Monday's federal election, the largest turnout of voters in more than 20 years.Of the 25.6 million people registered to vote, close to 17.6 million turned up at polls across the country in an election that handed the Liberals led by Justin Trudeau a majority victory.That kind of turnout hasn't been seen since the 1993 election, a campaign that also resulted in a sweeping Liberal win under the stewardship of Jean Chretien.The swell in numbers was partly due to the 3.6 million Canadians who cast ballots during the four-day advance polling period on the Thanksgiving long weekend — an increase of 71 per cent over the 2011 election, when only three days of advance polls were held.
Conservatives begin campaign post-mortem, looking to the future-The Canadian PressBy Jennifer Ditchburn, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
TORONTO - On his final campaign flight from Abbotsford, B.C. to Calgary, Stephen Harper sat with his closest friends and began putting together the plan for his exit from the Conservative Party leadership.That plan will unfold this morning, as Conservative politicians and the party's rank-and-file look to a future leadership race — only the merged party's second — putting the pieces in place to move forward and rebuild from a devastating election loss.Harper was calm about the defeat that laid before him, according to sources who spoke to The Canadian Press over the past 24 hours. He sat alternately with longtime aide Ray Novak, and party president John Walsh on the plane.There are two main things that will happen right away — Harper will resign as leader, but stay on as an MP. The party's much smaller caucus will vote for an interim leader. Former cabinet minister Diane Finley's name is an early name being floated.Then, the party's national council will appoint a "leadership election organizing committee," which will set the ground rules for the impending contest.All these things will send the party into a period of upheaval — this was the party Harper built, filling positions with loyalists over the years to such an extent that there was barely a murmur of discontent in 12 years.At the same time as the leadership race is set in motion, the activists are in the process of sorting through the embers of the campaign, analysing what went wrong and who is to blame.The party's executive director, Dustin van Vugt, is in charge of a process to review the campaign.A senior party source said the party will be in debt after this election is through, something the members aren't used to.As far back as Thursday, campaign manager Jenni Byrne was packing up her office in the Ottawa party war room. In a sign of how tense things have become inside Harper's circle, Byrne was not in Calgary on election night, and is out of a job this morning.During the campaign, sources say longstanding friction between Bryne and campaign director Guy Giorno just became worse, and the two strong personalities clashed on elements of the campaign. One insider said Byrne refused to hand over a list of candidate contact details to Giorno in the final days.Eventually, their hostility spilled over into bad blood between Byrne and Novak, who is the person Harper trusts the most."There's a tremendous amount of antipathy towards her on the part of the leader," said one source."You don't run a campaign by surrounding yourself by sycophants, interns and family members," grumbled another.But there are different ideas of why the campaign did not succeed. Some point to failings in the nuts and bolts organization of the campaign, while others believe the problems centred around the leader himself and his choice of message — factors no local candidate could control.A source close to the war room said the party's focus groups and voter research had told them that the die was cast before the campaign began. Conservative voters "were sick of the PM and had a hard time voting for him.""The feeling from Jenni as the campaign manager is that this was lost from the get go," said the source, who asked to remain anonymous."They underestimated people's feelings about the PM, that there was a stronger desire for change than they realized."Dan Miles, a senior aide to outgoing finance minister Joe Oliver, said it was clear in the riding that voters were looking for change. Oliver lost his Eglinton-Lawrence riding in a near Liberal sweep of the Greater Toronto Area."The only negative I really ever heard was that they liked Joe, but they had a problem with the leader," said Miles."That was the only consistent thing I ever heard."Meanwhile, the leader's message on the economy wasn't resonating as well as they suspected. The Liberals ate into some of that territory with voters who liked the promise of infrastructure spending. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau performed better than expected during the debates.The niqab issue raised by Harper dealt a blow to NDP Leader Tom Mulcair in Quebec, but it also seemed to wound the New Democrats elsewhere."That policy and so many others resonated positive with some voters, and negatively with others," said Oliver."I think that, and maybe some other policies, were responsible for the collapse of the NDP, which had a very significant impact on the national results."Calgary Conservative MP Jason Kenney, widely believed to be a serious leadership contender, alluded to problems with the party message. Trudeau had focused on optimism, while Harper issued dire warnings of bleak economic times and terrorist threats."We need a conservatism that is sunnier and more optimistic than what we have sometimes conveyed," Kenney said."We have to take collective responsibility for that."On the other side, there are those who believe the party's losses can be attributed to poor preparation.That would include the training of local volunteers, the recruitment of candidates, convincing incumbents to run again, and vetting candidates. The conclusion is that the party didn't take enough advantage of natural advantages of being in power, of having a huge warchest and its wealth of experience from previous campaigns."In this case I fear that, like all parties in power, we got fat and happy," said Chad Rogers, a party loyalist who volunteered during the 2006 campaign, then run by the late Doug Finley."This campaign was not as lean, as focused or as aggressive as the ones that preceded it. A lot of candidate and campaign managers that I've been talking to informally were very surprised that things we were good at, just weren't done this time."Rogers said there would be questions asked about how money was spent, especially the abandoning of a new, multi-million voter identification system two years ago.Other Conservatives said the party hasn't kept up with the times on the latest research methods and technology.The source close to the war room said that it will be unfair to lay the blame all on Byrne, who also led the successful 2011 campaign."She's a lightning rod, partly because of her personality, but also because she's a woman," said the source. "She's going to bear the brunt of a lot of knifing because she's a woman at the top of the food chain."
Brad Wall says he won't run for leadership of federal Conservatives-CBC – OCT 20,15-YAHOO NEWS
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall won't be applying to become the new leader of the Conservative party. The Conservative party president, John Walsh, released a short statement saying Stephen Harper instructed him to begin the next leadership selection process. During CBC's election night coverage, radio host Susan Bonner spoke to Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall about the election outcome, and whether he was considering a shift to federal politics. "Would you run for the Conservative leadership if it opens up?" asked Bonner."I have the best job in Canada," Wall replied. "I keep saying that because I believe I'm fortunate to have it. In March we will be having our own election, and I will be applying for that job."Wall has been considered a contender for Conservative leadership due to his popularity. He's been found to be Canada's most popular premier several times in an annual Angus Reid poll. Wall is not bilingual, which would be a barrier if he were to decide to run.
Massively blown opportunity' casts shadow over Mulcair's NDP leadership-CBC – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Canada's NDP will need to take a long, hard look in the mirror today, says a Winnipeg political analyst."If I was a New Democrat this morning I think I would be looking at this as a massively blown opportunity," said Curtis Brown, vice-president of Probe Research. "You think back to the beginning of the campaign, they had a slight lead in the polls and they were looking like they were in pretty good shape."I think they just failed to make any kind of persuasive case about why they should be government [and] I think there's going to be some discussion of Thomas Mulcair's leadership."In 2011, the NDP were the beneficiaries of disgruntled voters looking for an alternative but "this time they kind of just got caught in a Liberal riptide and many experienced and competent MPs across the country, including right here in Winnipeg, ended up getting sucked into it," Brown said.One of those was the NDP's Pat Martin, who was ousted from the Winnipeg Centre riding that he held since 1997. Liberal Robert-Falcon Ouellette, a rookie candidate who came in third a year ago in Winnipeg's mayoral race, received 18,471 votes compared to Martin's 9,490.The NDP went into Monday's general election as the Official Opposition to the governing Conservative Party, with 103 seats to 166 seats, respectively.The Liberals were far behind with 34 seats. If any party was poised to challenge the Conservatives it was the NDP, but rather than moving forward, they fell far back.Instead, the Liberals surged forward, winning 150 more seats."This has never happened in federal politics in Canada before, where the third party in Parliament goes and wins a majority government," said Brown. "That's remarkable, from where they were in 2011 to where they are now."He believes the results would have been different for the NDP if the late Jack Layton was still leading the party."People connected with Jack Layton in the same way that I think they connected with Justin Trudeau," Brown said. "I think people never had that connection with Thomas Mulcair."

Trudeau's carbon tax will hurt Canada's economy-By Lorne Gunter , Postmedia Network-Updated: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 07:27 PM EDT
“Carbon pricing” is simply a euphemism for “carbon tax.”When a politician talks about establishing a price on carbon in the name of stopping global warming (as federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau frequently does), what he really means is he wants to tax oil production, manufacturing and private vehicle use in the hope that by punishing energy companies, manufacturers and drivers he can force them to reduce their emissions.However, no market exists for carbon emissions except where governments force companies to buy or sell “carbon credits.” Therefore, there is no such thing as a natural “carbon price.” The concept is entirely artificial.Admittedly, Europe has a carbon exchange, but it’s not a real marketplace like a stock exchange. It wouldn’t exist if the EU’s commissioners hadn’t dictated that companies put a price on their emissions and pay extra for emissions above their mandated limits.Even after all of that, the price for a tonne of carbon on the European exchange is a fraction of what EU planners projected it would be. The only people who make money consistently are clever profiteers who have learned how to apply for “green” subsidies. And the whole thing is prone to corruption.That is what Justin Trudeau wants for Canada.But Trudeau’s idea gets worse. He wants Canada to be a role model for the world by adopting a price on carbon even if our major competitors don’t do the same.The Americans don’t have a price on carbon. Nor do the Chinese, or the Australians or the Russians.On energy and mineral exports, the Europeans aren’t really our competitors. So the fact they have a fake price on their carbon doesn’t really matter.Trudeau’s thinking on most issues is strained when it gets past Twitter’s limit of 140 characters. But it seems especially shallow on this matter.Why in heaven’s name would Trudeau the Younger want to add any burdens to Canada’s sluggish economy, especially a burden that would stutter the economy’s one strong sector – oil production?-Part of the answer is that Trudeau is a post-industrial urbanite. Like so many modern city dwellers, the former substitute drama teacher doesn’t have a clue about how jobs are created or money is made.Because no one in his social circle has to soil his or her hands to make a living – no one he knows has to mine the earth or harvest crops or cut timber – Trudeau imagines an economy where everyone is a computer programmer, retirement planner, social worker, barista, CBC journalist or advocate for the homeless.He is driven by unreal thinking about the environment and ignorance about economics.There is a regional element to Trudeau’s admission last week at the Calgary Stampede that he would tax carbon even if no other countries do. In a candid moment, Trudeau admitted he especially had problems with “certain industries,” which everyone assumed meant oilsands.But while carbon taxing – especially taxes that single out the oilsands – would punish Alberta and the west more than the rest of the country (an old Trudeau family habit), what Young Master Trudeau is proposing would hurt the whole country.A Canada-only tax on carbon would make it more expensive to do business in Canada. Jobs, investments and new plants would move elsewhere.The national effects would be similar to the outcome of Ontario’s push for green-energy alternatives since 2009.More than $10 billion in subsidies for wind, solar and bio fuel alternatives have led to no new electricity in Ontario, but have driven electricity prices up 40% or more and contributed to jobs leaving the province.Heaven help us if Trudeau gets to spread that destruction nationwide.lorne.gunter@sunmedia.ca
Son of late PM Pierre Trudeau becomes prime minister as Liberals defeat Harper's Conservatives-The Canadian PressBy Rob Gillies, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
TORONTO - Canadian voters reclaimed their country's liberal identity sending Justin Trudeau — the son of one of the country's most dynamic politicians — to the prime minister's office and ending nearly a decade of conservative leadership under Stephen Harper.The victory in Monday's election by Trudeau's Liberal Party was stunning. The Liberals were on a path to win at least 184 seats out of 338 - a parliamentary majority that will allow Trudeau to govern without relying on other parties. The Liberals received 39.5 per cent of the overall vote compared to 32 per cent for the Conservatives and 19.6 for the New Democrats.Harper, one of the longest-serving Western leaders, will step down as Conservative leader, the party announced as the scope of its loss became apparent.Trudeau's victory could result in improved ties with the United States, at least for the remainder of Barack Obama's presidency. Harper was frustrated by Obama's reluctance to approve the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas and clashed with the president on other issues, including the Iran nuclear deal. Although Trudeau supports the Keystone pipeline, he argues relations should not hinge on the project.Trudeau is the son of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who swept to office in 1968 on a wave of support dubbed "Trudeaumania." He was prime minister until 1984 with a short interruption and remains one of the few Canadian politicians known in America, his charisma often drawing comparisons to John F. Kennedy.Trudeau channels the star power — if not quite the political heft — of his father. Tall and trim, he is a former school teacher and member of Parliament since 2008. At 43, he becomes the second youngest prime minister in Canadian history and has been likened to Obama."Tonight Canada is becoming the country it was before," Trudeau told a victory rally in Montreal.Trudeau has re-energized the Liberal Party since its worst electoral defeat four years ago when they won just 34 seats and finished third behind the traditionally weaker New Democrat Party. Trudeau promises to raise taxes on the rich and run deficits for three years to boost government spending. He said positive politics led to his victory."We beat fear with hope," Trudeau said. "We beat cynicism with hard work. We beat negative, divisive politics with a positive vision that brings Canadians together. Most of all we defeated the idea that Canadians should be satisfied with less."Canada shifted to the centre-right under Harper, who lowered sales and corporate taxes, avoided climate change legislation, and strongly supported the oil and gas extraction industry."The people are never wrong," Harper told supporters in Calgary. "The disappointment is my responsibility and mine alone." Harper said he had called Trudeau to congratulate him.Trudeau's opponents pilloried him as too inexperienced, but Trudeau embraced his boyish image on Election Day. Sporting jeans and a varsity letter jacket, he posed for a photo standing on the thighs of two his colleagues to make a cheerleading pyramid, his campaign plane in the backdrop with "Trudeau 2015" painted in large red letters."A sea of change here. We are used to high tides in Atlantic Canada. This is not what we hoped for," said Peter MacKay, a former senior Conservative cabinet minister, shortly after polls closed in Atlantic Canada.Harper, 56, visited districts he won in the 2011 election in an attempt to hang onto them. On Saturday, he posed with Toronto's former crack-smoking mayor, Rob Ford, in a conservative suburb.Former colleagues of Harper said he would be personally devastated to lose to a Trudeau, the liberal legacy he entered politics to destroy. Harper's long-term goal was to kill the widely entrenched notion that the Liberals — the party of Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien — are the natural party of government in Canada, and to redefine what it means to be Canadian.Hurt when Canada entered a mild recession earlier this year, Harper made a controversy over the Islamic face veil a focus of his campaign, a decision his opponents seized on to depict him as a divisive leader."Canadians rejected the politics of fear and division," New Democrat leader Tom Mulcair said of Harper's Conservatives.Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said Canadians rallied around the Liberals as the anti-Harper vote."It became not only a referendum on Mr. Harper but really a sweep for Mr. Trudeau as well," said Antonia Maioni, a political science professor at McGill University."A clash of values pushed Canadians to really think about what they wanted from a government and what kind of image they wanted reflected back from that government and I think that's where Mr. Trudeau's optimism and hope and idea of change captured people's imagination."The New Democrats suffered a crushing defeat, falling to third place with 43 seats after winning official opposition status in the last election."I congratulated Mr. Trudeau on his exceptional achievement," Mulcair said at a rally in Montreal.Paula Mcelhinney, 52, from Toronto, voted Liberal to get rid of Harper."I want to get him out, it's about time we have a new leader. It's time for a change," she said.___Associated Press writer Charmaine Noronha contributed to this report.
New Liberal government: Where does it get started?-CBC – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Justin Trudeau's Liberals will return to the House of Commons with a majority government and a laundry list of campaign promises — along with some clear priorities that will likely be tackled before other tasks. Trudeau will be Canada's next prime minister after leading his to a stunning majority government win over Stephen Harper's Conservatives and Tom Mulcair's NDP.During the campaign, the Liberals released an 88-page plan to boost support for post-secondary students, clean up the environment and lower the tax burden for middle-class families. He also pledged to run three years of deficits to invest in infrastructure and bolster the economy. Here are some areas a Trudeau government will likely take on first. 1. Tax cuts, tax hikes-Trudeau says the first bill of a Liberal government would include changes to income tax rates and tax credits for families.The middle-class tax cut will reduce the tax rate from 22.5 per cent to 20 per cent for individuals earning between $44,700 and $89,401 a year. There was also to be a new tax bracket for people earning more than $200,000 a year; they will pay 33 per cent tax on their income.The Canada child benefit will replace the universal child care benefit that was central to the Conservative budget and election campaign. That means the end of $1,600 taxable cheques for each child in every family. The Liberals will dole out a non-taxable benefit on sliding scale based on income, with low-income families receiving $5,000 a year. That goes down as you earn more and stops for families earning more than $300,000. The Liberals are also cancelling income splitting for families, keeping the tax-free savings account limit at $5,500 and will reduce employment insurance premiums to $1.65 from $1.88 per $100 in insurable earnings — which is less of a reduction than the Conservatives had planned.2. New climate with premiers-In an interview with CBC News's Peter Mansbridge, Trudeau said the first thing he would do for the economy is meet with the premiers to prepare for the Paris climate change conference, which runs from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, 2015. Trudeau has not specified a target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but said he would create a federal framework to address climate change and take that to Paris.Trudeau has also said he wants to talk to the premiers about EI reform, a new health accord, a national child-care framework, training programs, a Canadian energy strategy and support for Prairie farmers. 3. Infrastructure money-Trudeau said he'll discuss where federal infrastructure money is going in his first meeting with the provinces. The Liberal fiscal framework says the government will spend an additional $5 billion on new infrastructure projects in its first year — split equally between public transit, green projects and "social infrastructure."This would contribute to the first of three deficits the Liberals say they will run to stimulate the economy.4. Call Obama-Trudeau said the first world leader he will call is U.S. President Barack Obama. "I look forward to speaking with President Obama," Trudeau said, "to talk about the kinds of challenges we're facing on our continent, whether it be around the environment and energy, whether it be on a border that is essential to move smoothly through for goods and services to both sides, to a relationship between friends and allies that has been tarnished over the past years."Aside from bilateral economic issues, Trudeau will probably have to explain that Canada is withdrawing from the American-led airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq. Trudeau said Canada will contribute humanitarian aid and military resources to training local security forces in Iraq.5. Syrian refugees-Since January, the Liberals have promised to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015. During the election, the party said that goal could still be reached if it won the election, and that it would cost $100 million.The Liberals would also spend $100 million to provide humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees who are still in the region.But they will need to get moving quickly, because they haven't provided much detail beyond the projected cost and saying they have the "political will" to get it done.-'Immediately'-The Liberal platform also includes some steps the party will take "immediately" upon forming government:- Call an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.- Lift the two per cent cap on increases to First Nations education funding and establish a new financial relationship with First Nations.- Launch a new competition to replace the CF-18 fighter jet and scrap the F-35 fighter program.- Review defence capabilities with the aim of creating a more efficient military.- Hire additional mental health professionals to support veterans.- Reinstate the long-form census.- Implement imported gun-marking legislation.- Begin a review of environmental assessment processes.- Double the number of immigration applications allowed for parents and grand-parents.- Lift the visa requirement for Mexican travel to Canada.
Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days-SCIENTISTS conducting a mindbending experiment at the Large Hadron Collider next week hope to connect with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE outside of our own.By Paul Baldwin-UPDATED: 13:26, Sat, Oct 17, 2015-express
Collision course: Large Hadron Collider could discover parallel universe-The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect - or even create - miniature black holes.If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ - a key building block of the universe - and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ - a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC."Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised."This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.Atom art: An image of two protons smashed together at the LHC-“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity's rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity's rainbow and extra dimensions are correct."When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts-So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.But the latest study says this is too low.Instead, the model predicts that black holes may form at energy levels of at least 9.5 TeV in six dimensions and 11.9 TeV in 10 dimensions.

UN chief to make surprise visit to Israel and Palestinian territories amid wave of violence-The Canadian PressBy Aron Heller, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
JERUSALEM - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will make a surprise visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories on Tuesday, in a high-profile gambit to bring an end to a monthlong wave of violence.The visit comes amid unrest that erupted a month ago over tensions surrounding a Jerusalem holy site sacred to Jews and Muslims. It soon spread to Arab neighbourhoods of east Jerusalem and then to the West Bank, Gaza and Israel. A spate of Palestinian attacks, most of which have involved stabbings, has caused panic across Israel and raised fears that the region is on the cusp of a new round of heavy violence.The violence continued in the West Bank on Tuesday. A 24-year-old Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli forces after he stabbed an Israeli military officer and lightly wounded him, the Israeli military and Palestinian health officials said. The military said it happened during a "violent riot" of Palestinian demonstrators.In a separate incident in the West Bank, an Israeli man was killed after being run over during a clash with Palestinians. The man exited his car after Palestinian demonstrators threw stones at it and he began to hit passing Palestinian cars with a large stick, according to an Associated Press photographer who witnessed the incident. The man hit a passing truck with the stick, and the truck ran the man over. The Israeli military confirmed his death.The truck driver turned himself in, saying he hit the Israeli by accident while trying to swerve out of the way, according to a Palestinian security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.Ban, who is currently in Europe, will arrive later Tuesday. He was to meet with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin in Jerusalem, the leaders' offices said.Prior to the visit, Ban issued a video message late Monday calling for calm on both sides.He said he understood the Palestinians' frustrations, but that violence would only harm their legitimate aspirations."I know your hopes for peace have been dashed countless times. You are angry at the continued occupation and expansion of settlements," he said. "I am not asking you to be passive, but you must put down the weapons of despair."Addressing Israelis, he said he understood their fears due to the security deterioration, but said there was no military solution."When children are afraid to go to school, when anyone on the street is a potential victim, security is rightly your immediate priority," he said. "But walls, checkpoints, harsh responses by the security forces and house demolitions cannot sustain the peace and safety that you need and must have."Over the past month, nine Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks, most of them stabbings. In that time, 42 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire, including 21 labeled by Israel as attackers, and the rest in clashes with Israeli troops. An Eritrean migrant died after being shot and beaten by a mob that mistakenly believed he was a Palestinian attacker.The initial outbreak of violence was fueled by rumours that Israel was plotting to take over Jerusalem's most sensitive holy site, a hilltop compound revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third-holiest shrine and a key national symbol for the Palestinians.Israel has adamantly denied the allegations, saying it has no plans to change the status quo at the site, where Jews are allowed to visit but not pray. Israel has accused Palestinian leaders of incitement to violence over the site. But Jewish visits to the site have doubled since 2010 and senior members of Netanyahu's government have called for Jewish prayer rights, fueling Palestinian concerns about the site.Israel has struggled to contain the attacks. Authorities have blocked roads and placed checkpoints at the entrances of Palestinian neighbourhoods in east Jerusalem. Other security measures include ID checks and requiring some Palestinian residents to lift their shirts and roll up pant legs as they exit their neighbourhoods to prove they are not carrying knives. Soldiers have been deployed in Jerusalem and cities across Israel.On Tuesday, the Israeli military arrested top Hamas official Hassan Yousef in the West Bank, saying he had been "actively instigating and inciting terrorism" by encouraging attacks against Israelis."Hamas' leaders cannot expect to propagate violence and terror from the comfort of their living rooms and pulpits of their mosques," said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military spokesman. Yousef is a co-founder of Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules the Gaza Strip. His son, Mosab, spied for Israel between 1997 and 2007 and wrote a book about his experiences.Also Tuesday, the Israeli military demolished the home of a Palestinian who killed an Israeli woman last year. Maher Hashlamoun rammed his car into 25-year-old Dalia Lemkus in the West Bank last year and stabbed her several times before being shot and killed.His wife told Palestinian radio that soldiers evacuated their three-story building in Hebron and demolished the third floor apartment where her family lived.Lerner said the demolition "sends a clear message that there is a personal price to pay when you are involved in terror."__Associated Press photographer Nasser Shiyoukhi contributed to this report.
Kerry holds out possibility of meeting Netanyahu in Middle East-Reuters – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday held out the possibility that he may meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Middle East rather than in Germany as previously planned."I will be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu either in Germany or in the region," Kerry said during a question and answer session after making a speech on climate change.Kerry's planned separate talks with Netanyahu, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan's King Abdullah aim to reduce violence stirred in part by Palestinian anger over what they see as Jewish encroachment on Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's most sacred site outside Saudi Arabia and also one revered by Jews as the location of two destroyed biblical temples.(Reporting by Arshad Mohammed; Editing by Susan Heavey)
Turnout in federal election hits 68.5 per cent, largest since 1993 election-The Canadian PressBy The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
OTTAWA - Elections Canada says 68.5 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in Monday's federal election, the largest turnout of voters in more than 20 years.Of the 25.6 million people registered to vote, close to 17.6 million turned up at polls across the country in an election that handed the Liberals led by Justin Trudeau a majority victory.That kind of turnout hasn't been seen since the 1993 election, a campaign that also resulted in a sweeping Liberal win under the stewardship of Jean Chretien.The swell in numbers was partly due to the 3.6 million Canadians who cast ballots during the four-day advance polling period on the Thanksgiving long weekend — an increase of 71 per cent over the 2011 election, when only three days of advance polls were held.
Conservatives begin campaign post-mortem, looking to the future-The Canadian PressBy Jennifer Ditchburn, The Canadian Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
TORONTO - On his final campaign flight from Abbotsford, B.C. to Calgary, Stephen Harper sat with his closest friends and began putting together the plan for his exit from the Conservative Party leadership.That plan will unfold this morning, as Conservative politicians and the party's rank-and-file look to a future leadership race — only the merged party's second — putting the pieces in place to move forward and rebuild from a devastating election loss.Harper was calm about the defeat that laid before him, according to sources who spoke to The Canadian Press over the past 24 hours. He sat alternately with longtime aide Ray Novak, and party president John Walsh on the plane.There are two main things that will happen right away — Harper will resign as leader, but stay on as an MP. The party's much smaller caucus will vote for an interim leader. Former cabinet minister Diane Finley's name is an early name being floated.Then, the party's national council will appoint a "leadership election organizing committee," which will set the ground rules for the impending contest.All these things will send the party into a period of upheaval — this was the party Harper built, filling positions with loyalists over the years to such an extent that there was barely a murmur of discontent in 12 years.At the same time as the leadership race is set in motion, the activists are in the process of sorting through the embers of the campaign, analysing what went wrong and who is to blame.The party's executive director, Dustin van Vugt, is in charge of a process to review the campaign.A senior party source said the party will be in debt after this election is through, something the members aren't used to.As far back as Thursday, campaign manager Jenni Byrne was packing up her office in the Ottawa party war room. In a sign of how tense things have become inside Harper's circle, Byrne was not in Calgary on election night, and is out of a job this morning.During the campaign, sources say longstanding friction between Bryne and campaign director Guy Giorno just became worse, and the two strong personalities clashed on elements of the campaign. One insider said Byrne refused to hand over a list of candidate contact details to Giorno in the final days.Eventually, their hostility spilled over into bad blood between Byrne and Novak, who is the person Harper trusts the most."There's a tremendous amount of antipathy towards her on the part of the leader," said one source."You don't run a campaign by surrounding yourself by sycophants, interns and family members," grumbled another.But there are different ideas of why the campaign did not succeed. Some point to failings in the nuts and bolts organization of the campaign, while others believe the problems centred around the leader himself and his choice of message — factors no local candidate could control.A source close to the war room said the party's focus groups and voter research had told them that the die was cast before the campaign began. Conservative voters "were sick of the PM and had a hard time voting for him.""The feeling from Jenni as the campaign manager is that this was lost from the get go," said the source, who asked to remain anonymous."They underestimated people's feelings about the PM, that there was a stronger desire for change than they realized."Dan Miles, a senior aide to outgoing finance minister Joe Oliver, said it was clear in the riding that voters were looking for change. Oliver lost his Eglinton-Lawrence riding in a near Liberal sweep of the Greater Toronto Area."The only negative I really ever heard was that they liked Joe, but they had a problem with the leader," said Miles."That was the only consistent thing I ever heard."Meanwhile, the leader's message on the economy wasn't resonating as well as they suspected. The Liberals ate into some of that territory with voters who liked the promise of infrastructure spending. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau performed better than expected during the debates.The niqab issue raised by Harper dealt a blow to NDP Leader Tom Mulcair in Quebec, but it also seemed to wound the New Democrats elsewhere."That policy and so many others resonated positive with some voters, and negatively with others," said Oliver."I think that, and maybe some other policies, were responsible for the collapse of the NDP, which had a very significant impact on the national results."Calgary Conservative MP Jason Kenney, widely believed to be a serious leadership contender, alluded to problems with the party message. Trudeau had focused on optimism, while Harper issued dire warnings of bleak economic times and terrorist threats."We need a conservatism that is sunnier and more optimistic than what we have sometimes conveyed," Kenney said."We have to take collective responsibility for that."On the other side, there are those who believe the party's losses can be attributed to poor preparation.That would include the training of local volunteers, the recruitment of candidates, convincing incumbents to run again, and vetting candidates. The conclusion is that the party didn't take enough advantage of natural advantages of being in power, of having a huge warchest and its wealth of experience from previous campaigns."In this case I fear that, like all parties in power, we got fat and happy," said Chad Rogers, a party loyalist who volunteered during the 2006 campaign, then run by the late Doug Finley."This campaign was not as lean, as focused or as aggressive as the ones that preceded it. A lot of candidate and campaign managers that I've been talking to informally were very surprised that things we were good at, just weren't done this time."Rogers said there would be questions asked about how money was spent, especially the abandoning of a new, multi-million voter identification system two years ago.Other Conservatives said the party hasn't kept up with the times on the latest research methods and technology.The source close to the war room said that it will be unfair to lay the blame all on Byrne, who also led the successful 2011 campaign."She's a lightning rod, partly because of her personality, but also because she's a woman," said the source. "She's going to bear the brunt of a lot of knifing because she's a woman at the top of the food chain."
Brad Wall says he won't run for leadership of federal Conservatives-CBC – OCT 20,15-YAHOO NEWS
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall won't be applying to become the new leader of the Conservative party. The Conservative party president, John Walsh, released a short statement saying Stephen Harper instructed him to begin the next leadership selection process. During CBC's election night coverage, radio host Susan Bonner spoke to Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall about the election outcome, and whether he was considering a shift to federal politics. "Would you run for the Conservative leadership if it opens up?" asked Bonner."I have the best job in Canada," Wall replied. "I keep saying that because I believe I'm fortunate to have it. In March we will be having our own election, and I will be applying for that job."Wall has been considered a contender for Conservative leadership due to his popularity. He's been found to be Canada's most popular premier several times in an annual Angus Reid poll. Wall is not bilingual, which would be a barrier if he were to decide to run.
Massively blown opportunity' casts shadow over Mulcair's NDP leadership-CBC – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Canada's NDP will need to take a long, hard look in the mirror today, says a Winnipeg political analyst."If I was a New Democrat this morning I think I would be looking at this as a massively blown opportunity," said Curtis Brown, vice-president of Probe Research. "You think back to the beginning of the campaign, they had a slight lead in the polls and they were looking like they were in pretty good shape."I think they just failed to make any kind of persuasive case about why they should be government [and] I think there's going to be some discussion of Thomas Mulcair's leadership."In 2011, the NDP were the beneficiaries of disgruntled voters looking for an alternative but "this time they kind of just got caught in a Liberal riptide and many experienced and competent MPs across the country, including right here in Winnipeg, ended up getting sucked into it," Brown said.One of those was the NDP's Pat Martin, who was ousted from the Winnipeg Centre riding that he held since 1997. Liberal Robert-Falcon Ouellette, a rookie candidate who came in third a year ago in Winnipeg's mayoral race, received 18,471 votes compared to Martin's 9,490.The NDP went into Monday's general election as the Official Opposition to the governing Conservative Party, with 103 seats to 166 seats, respectively.The Liberals were far behind with 34 seats. If any party was poised to challenge the Conservatives it was the NDP, but rather than moving forward, they fell far back.Instead, the Liberals surged forward, winning 150 more seats."This has never happened in federal politics in Canada before, where the third party in Parliament goes and wins a majority government," said Brown. "That's remarkable, from where they were in 2011 to where they are now."He believes the results would have been different for the NDP if the late Jack Layton was still leading the party."People connected with Jack Layton in the same way that I think they connected with Justin Trudeau," Brown said. "I think people never had that connection with Thomas Mulcair."

Trudeau's carbon tax will hurt Canada's economy-By Lorne Gunter , Postmedia Network-Updated: Tuesday, July 08, 2014 07:27 PM EDT
“Carbon pricing” is simply a euphemism for “carbon tax.”When a politician talks about establishing a price on carbon in the name of stopping global warming (as federal Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau frequently does), what he really means is he wants to tax oil production, manufacturing and private vehicle use in the hope that by punishing energy companies, manufacturers and drivers he can force them to reduce their emissions.However, no market exists for carbon emissions except where governments force companies to buy or sell “carbon credits.” Therefore, there is no such thing as a natural “carbon price.” The concept is entirely artificial.Admittedly, Europe has a carbon exchange, but it’s not a real marketplace like a stock exchange. It wouldn’t exist if the EU’s commissioners hadn’t dictated that companies put a price on their emissions and pay extra for emissions above their mandated limits.Even after all of that, the price for a tonne of carbon on the European exchange is a fraction of what EU planners projected it would be. The only people who make money consistently are clever profiteers who have learned how to apply for “green” subsidies. And the whole thing is prone to corruption.That is what Justin Trudeau wants for Canada.But Trudeau’s idea gets worse. He wants Canada to be a role model for the world by adopting a price on carbon even if our major competitors don’t do the same.The Americans don’t have a price on carbon. Nor do the Chinese, or the Australians or the Russians.On energy and mineral exports, the Europeans aren’t really our competitors. So the fact they have a fake price on their carbon doesn’t really matter.Trudeau’s thinking on most issues is strained when it gets past Twitter’s limit of 140 characters. But it seems especially shallow on this matter.Why in heaven’s name would Trudeau the Younger want to add any burdens to Canada’s sluggish economy, especially a burden that would stutter the economy’s one strong sector – oil production?-Part of the answer is that Trudeau is a post-industrial urbanite. Like so many modern city dwellers, the former substitute drama teacher doesn’t have a clue about how jobs are created or money is made.Because no one in his social circle has to soil his or her hands to make a living – no one he knows has to mine the earth or harvest crops or cut timber – Trudeau imagines an economy where everyone is a computer programmer, retirement planner, social worker, barista, CBC journalist or advocate for the homeless.He is driven by unreal thinking about the environment and ignorance about economics.There is a regional element to Trudeau’s admission last week at the Calgary Stampede that he would tax carbon even if no other countries do. In a candid moment, Trudeau admitted he especially had problems with “certain industries,” which everyone assumed meant oilsands.But while carbon taxing – especially taxes that single out the oilsands – would punish Alberta and the west more than the rest of the country (an old Trudeau family habit), what Young Master Trudeau is proposing would hurt the whole country.A Canada-only tax on carbon would make it more expensive to do business in Canada. Jobs, investments and new plants would move elsewhere.The national effects would be similar to the outcome of Ontario’s push for green-energy alternatives since 2009.More than $10 billion in subsidies for wind, solar and bio fuel alternatives have led to no new electricity in Ontario, but have driven electricity prices up 40% or more and contributed to jobs leaving the province.Heaven help us if Trudeau gets to spread that destruction nationwide.lorne.gunter@sunmedia.ca
Son of late PM Pierre Trudeau becomes prime minister as Liberals defeat Harper's Conservatives-The Canadian PressBy Rob Gillies, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
TORONTO - Canadian voters reclaimed their country's liberal identity sending Justin Trudeau — the son of one of the country's most dynamic politicians — to the prime minister's office and ending nearly a decade of conservative leadership under Stephen Harper.The victory in Monday's election by Trudeau's Liberal Party was stunning. The Liberals were on a path to win at least 184 seats out of 338 - a parliamentary majority that will allow Trudeau to govern without relying on other parties. The Liberals received 39.5 per cent of the overall vote compared to 32 per cent for the Conservatives and 19.6 for the New Democrats.Harper, one of the longest-serving Western leaders, will step down as Conservative leader, the party announced as the scope of its loss became apparent.Trudeau's victory could result in improved ties with the United States, at least for the remainder of Barack Obama's presidency. Harper was frustrated by Obama's reluctance to approve the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas and clashed with the president on other issues, including the Iran nuclear deal. Although Trudeau supports the Keystone pipeline, he argues relations should not hinge on the project.Trudeau is the son of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, who swept to office in 1968 on a wave of support dubbed "Trudeaumania." He was prime minister until 1984 with a short interruption and remains one of the few Canadian politicians known in America, his charisma often drawing comparisons to John F. Kennedy.Trudeau channels the star power — if not quite the political heft — of his father. Tall and trim, he is a former school teacher and member of Parliament since 2008. At 43, he becomes the second youngest prime minister in Canadian history and has been likened to Obama."Tonight Canada is becoming the country it was before," Trudeau told a victory rally in Montreal.Trudeau has re-energized the Liberal Party since its worst electoral defeat four years ago when they won just 34 seats and finished third behind the traditionally weaker New Democrat Party. Trudeau promises to raise taxes on the rich and run deficits for three years to boost government spending. He said positive politics led to his victory."We beat fear with hope," Trudeau said. "We beat cynicism with hard work. We beat negative, divisive politics with a positive vision that brings Canadians together. Most of all we defeated the idea that Canadians should be satisfied with less."Canada shifted to the centre-right under Harper, who lowered sales and corporate taxes, avoided climate change legislation, and strongly supported the oil and gas extraction industry."The people are never wrong," Harper told supporters in Calgary. "The disappointment is my responsibility and mine alone." Harper said he had called Trudeau to congratulate him.Trudeau's opponents pilloried him as too inexperienced, but Trudeau embraced his boyish image on Election Day. Sporting jeans and a varsity letter jacket, he posed for a photo standing on the thighs of two his colleagues to make a cheerleading pyramid, his campaign plane in the backdrop with "Trudeau 2015" painted in large red letters."A sea of change here. We are used to high tides in Atlantic Canada. This is not what we hoped for," said Peter MacKay, a former senior Conservative cabinet minister, shortly after polls closed in Atlantic Canada.Harper, 56, visited districts he won in the 2011 election in an attempt to hang onto them. On Saturday, he posed with Toronto's former crack-smoking mayor, Rob Ford, in a conservative suburb.Former colleagues of Harper said he would be personally devastated to lose to a Trudeau, the liberal legacy he entered politics to destroy. Harper's long-term goal was to kill the widely entrenched notion that the Liberals — the party of Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien — are the natural party of government in Canada, and to redefine what it means to be Canadian.Hurt when Canada entered a mild recession earlier this year, Harper made a controversy over the Islamic face veil a focus of his campaign, a decision his opponents seized on to depict him as a divisive leader."Canadians rejected the politics of fear and division," New Democrat leader Tom Mulcair said of Harper's Conservatives.Nelson Wiseman, a political science professor at the University of Toronto, said Canadians rallied around the Liberals as the anti-Harper vote."It became not only a referendum on Mr. Harper but really a sweep for Mr. Trudeau as well," said Antonia Maioni, a political science professor at McGill University."A clash of values pushed Canadians to really think about what they wanted from a government and what kind of image they wanted reflected back from that government and I think that's where Mr. Trudeau's optimism and hope and idea of change captured people's imagination."The New Democrats suffered a crushing defeat, falling to third place with 43 seats after winning official opposition status in the last election."I congratulated Mr. Trudeau on his exceptional achievement," Mulcair said at a rally in Montreal.Paula Mcelhinney, 52, from Toronto, voted Liberal to get rid of Harper."I want to get him out, it's about time we have a new leader. It's time for a change," she said.___Associated Press writer Charmaine Noronha contributed to this report.
New Liberal government: Where does it get started?-CBC – OCT 20,15-YAHOONEWS
Justin Trudeau's Liberals will return to the House of Commons with a majority government and a laundry list of campaign promises — along with some clear priorities that will likely be tackled before other tasks. Trudeau will be Canada's next prime minister after leading his to a stunning majority government win over Stephen Harper's Conservatives and Tom Mulcair's NDP.During the campaign, the Liberals released an 88-page plan to boost support for post-secondary students, clean up the environment and lower the tax burden for middle-class families. He also pledged to run three years of deficits to invest in infrastructure and bolster the economy. Here are some areas a Trudeau government will likely take on first. 1. Tax cuts, tax hikes-Trudeau says the first bill of a Liberal government would include changes to income tax rates and tax credits for families.The middle-class tax cut will reduce the tax rate from 22.5 per cent to 20 per cent for individuals earning between $44,700 and $89,401 a year. There was also to be a new tax bracket for people earning more than $200,000 a year; they will pay 33 per cent tax on their income.The Canada child benefit will replace the universal child care benefit that was central to the Conservative budget and election campaign. That means the end of $1,600 taxable cheques for each child in every family. The Liberals will dole out a non-taxable benefit on sliding scale based on income, with low-income families receiving $5,000 a year. That goes down as you earn more and stops for families earning more than $300,000. The Liberals are also cancelling income splitting for families, keeping the tax-free savings account limit at $5,500 and will reduce employment insurance premiums to $1.65 from $1.88 per $100 in insurable earnings — which is less of a reduction than the Conservatives had planned.2. New climate with premiers-In an interview with CBC News's Peter Mansbridge, Trudeau said the first thing he would do for the economy is meet with the premiers to prepare for the Paris climate change conference, which runs from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11, 2015. Trudeau has not specified a target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but said he would create a federal framework to address climate change and take that to Paris.Trudeau has also said he wants to talk to the premiers about EI reform, a new health accord, a national child-care framework, training programs, a Canadian energy strategy and support for Prairie farmers. 3. Infrastructure money-Trudeau said he'll discuss where federal infrastructure money is going in his first meeting with the provinces. The Liberal fiscal framework says the government will spend an additional $5 billion on new infrastructure projects in its first year — split equally between public transit, green projects and "social infrastructure."This would contribute to the first of three deficits the Liberals say they will run to stimulate the economy.4. Call Obama-Trudeau said the first world leader he will call is U.S. President Barack Obama. "I look forward to speaking with President Obama," Trudeau said, "to talk about the kinds of challenges we're facing on our continent, whether it be around the environment and energy, whether it be on a border that is essential to move smoothly through for goods and services to both sides, to a relationship between friends and allies that has been tarnished over the past years."Aside from bilateral economic issues, Trudeau will probably have to explain that Canada is withdrawing from the American-led airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq. Trudeau said Canada will contribute humanitarian aid and military resources to training local security forces in Iraq.5. Syrian refugees-Since January, the Liberals have promised to bring in 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015. During the election, the party said that goal could still be reached if it won the election, and that it would cost $100 million.The Liberals would also spend $100 million to provide humanitarian assistance to Syrian refugees who are still in the region.But they will need to get moving quickly, because they haven't provided much detail beyond the projected cost and saying they have the "political will" to get it done.-'Immediately'-The Liberal platform also includes some steps the party will take "immediately" upon forming government:- Call an inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women.- Lift the two per cent cap on increases to First Nations education funding and establish a new financial relationship with First Nations.- Launch a new competition to replace the CF-18 fighter jet and scrap the F-35 fighter program.- Review defence capabilities with the aim of creating a more efficient military.- Hire additional mental health professionals to support veterans.- Reinstate the long-form census.- Implement imported gun-marking legislation.- Begin a review of environmental assessment processes.- Double the number of immigration applications allowed for parents and grand-parents.- Lift the visa requirement for Mexican travel to Canada.
Scientists at Large Hadron Collider hope to make contact with PARALLEL UNIVERSE in days-SCIENTISTS conducting a mindbending experiment at the Large Hadron Collider next week hope to connect with a PARALLEL UNIVERSE outside of our own.By Paul Baldwin-UPDATED: 13:26, Sat, Oct 17, 2015-express
Collision course: Large Hadron Collider could discover parallel universe-The staggeringly complex LHC ‘atom smasher’ at the CERN centre in Geneva, Switzerland, will be fired up to its highest energy levels ever in a bid to detect - or even create - miniature black holes.If successful a completely new universe will be revealed – rewriting not only the physics books but the philosophy books too.It is even possible that gravity from our own universe may ‘leak’ into this parallel universe, scientists at the LHC say.The experiment is sure to inflame alarmist critics of the LHC, many of whom initially warned the high energy particle collider would spell the end of our universe with the creation a black hole of its own.But so far Geneva remains intact and comfortably outside the event horizon.Indeed the LHC has been spectacularly successful. First scientists proved the existence of the elusive Higgs boson ‘God particle’ - a key building block of the universe - and it is seemingly well on the way to nailing ‘dark matter’ - a previously undetectable theoretical possibility that is now thought to make up the majority of matter in the universe.But next week’s experiment is considered to be a game changer.Mir Faizal, one of the three-strong team of physicists behind the experiment, said: “Just as many parallel sheets of paper, which are two dimensional objects [breadth and length] can exist in a third dimension [height], parallel universes can also exist in higher dimensions.“We predict that gravity can leak into extra dimensions, and if it does, then miniature black holes can be produced at the LHC."Normally, when people think of the multiverse, they think of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, where every possibility is actualised."This cannot be tested and so it is philosophy and not science.“This is not what we mean by parallel universes. What we mean is real universes in extra dimensions.Atom art: An image of two protons smashed together at the LHC-“As gravity can flow out of our universe into the extra dimensions, such a model can be tested by the detection of mini black holes at the LHC.“We have calculated the energy at which we expect to detect these mini black holes in ‘gravity's rainbow’ [a new scientific theory].“If we do detect mini black holes at this energy, then we will know that both gravity's rainbow and extra dimensions are correct."When the LHC is fired up the energy is measured in Tera electron volts – a TeV is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, electron Volts-So far, the LHC has searched for mini black holes at energy levels below 5.3 TeV.But the latest study says this is too low.Instead, the model predicts that black holes may form at energy levels of at least 9.5 TeV in six dimensions and 11.9 TeV in 10 dimensions.
