As Ontario gets set to reopen, self-isolation continues for millions of citizens-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
Millions of Ontarians over the age of 70, as well as people with underlying health conditions, are bracing for a much longer period of self-isolation, even as the rest of the province begins its first phase of reopening this week."Public Health did say stay home and stay indoors, so we took that seriously," said Roger Johnson, a 69-year-old in Ottawa taking care of his 78-year-old partner Matt Hughes, who has early signs of dementia. "Our world is much smaller."Hughes hasn't left the home since March. The same is true of all the couple's friends in the same age group. They are among millions of seniors in Ontario over the age of 70 who have been cautioned that the risks associated with the coronavirus remain high."I call those people every day," said Johnson. "A lot of seniors, they don't have a balcony to go out on. They live in small apartments."Johnson says he'll continue to check in on his friends six months from now if necessary.Doug Ford, Ontario's premier, suggested in April some members of the population may have to self-isolate until a vaccine is found. But last week, Barbara Yaffe, the province's associate chief medical officer of health, offered better prospects. "I don't think it's realistic to think that they will have to stay home for all that time — I don't think people would want to do that." said Yaffe. "I do think people who have underlying health conditions — particularly immunocompromised people — will have to take special care."That "special care" includes maintaining physical distance, wearing a mask and keeping close tabs on their health, she said.'Trying to calibrate' riskOttawa's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vera Etches said the future depends on what happens as the province raises restrictions on the general population."We're just trying to calibrate, where we're trying to balance against the increased risk of growing levels of infection as we interact with people more," she said. "That's why we all need to do our part, so that people who are more at risk of a negative outcome will have the opportunity to get out and about again sooner rather than later."Public health and community agencies are now beginning to reach out to those asked to continue self-isolation to determine how well people are coping. Statistic Canada reports there are 1.7 million seniors over 70 in Ontario. Diabetes Canada estimates more than four million people in the province have, or run the risk of developing, type 1 or type 2 diabetes, one of several chronic health conditions that raise the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.Mental, Physical Health -Ottawa has created the Human Needs Task Force, which has been working with seniors, community groups, the Red Cross, and health agencies to undertake some 1,700 wellness checks, deliver food, and create opportunities for people to remain social. Coun. Jenna Sudds, the task force's chair, said it's a big concern that so many people in the community — most on limited incomes — could face more months of self-isolation."I think there are many challenges," she said, noting that many people are not getting access to regular exercise or face-to-face contact with their physicians, which is only part of their general well-being."I think we need to be concerned about people's mental health. Certainly isolation takes a toll."As a senior on a limited income, Johnson said he's also seen the cost of food jump, particularly when limited to food delivery or a single store within walking distance.He said the experience of having to go to multiple stores to find missing items is fraught with fear and frustration over repeated experiences being near others not wearing masks or not taking rules of physical distancing seriously enough.'Making sure they're protected'Assessing the needs of people like Johnson has been the focus of a survey by community groups like the Glebe Centre's Abbotsford Community Support in Ottawa."We want to make sure that they're protected," said Karen Anne Blakely, its community services director.The centre surveyed the people already accessing services before the pandemic, and found about a third requested help including wellness checks, and help with getting groceries. But they decided to cast the net broader this week."Those people who are living alone and may have thought that they could be just fine for a few weeks," she said. "Now that we're moving on to eight weeks, people are finding it a little more difficult."'We all help each other'The centre has tripled the number of people making wellness calls. Volunteers are helping to put together food hampers, making deliveries, helping to facilitate virtual classes, and making social calls using the old-fashioned phone.On a 10-person call arranged by the centre on Friday, CBC heard from participants who said the connection has been critical to remaining positive through self-isolation.They talked about missing hugs from their grandchildren or having lunch with friends at the community centre. "I think we all try to help each other," said one caller, Frances Eisert. "It's very very helpful." "Because being with other people is what I miss the most," added Brian Bodely.

Former Snowbirds commander, team member confident in safety of plane-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
A former Snowbirds commander and team member say even though the planes the team flies — the Canadian-built CT-114 Tutors — are close to 60 years old, they have no concerns about their safety. "There isn't a better jet that exists today to be able to do the Snowbirds' mission and I really feel strongly about that," says Robert Mitchell, who led the team in 2007 and 2008.The former Snowbirds commander says the team's alumni are pulling together to support the current team after one member died and another was injured in a crash in Kamloops on Sunday. It is not yet known what caused the plane to fall from the sky.Mitchell, however, is well aware of the previous tragedies that have befallen the Snowbirds. 'Shared horror'In his first year as commander, just before the first performance of 2007, his second pilot, Capt. Shawn McCaughey of Quebec, died in a crash.McCaughey was practising for an air show at the Malmstrom Air Force Base in northern Montana.A military report later concluded that McCaughey's seatbelt came unfastened as he was steering his plane through a roll, causing him to fall out of his seat and lose control of the plane."I can't help but think about my teams in 2007 when there was a crash … that shared horror," he said on Sunday from his home in North Vancouver.Robert Mitchell said though that he has never doubted the utility of the Tutor jets and although it has yet to be determined what caused this latest crash, Mitchell believes the planes are safe and should continue to be flown."The age of plane is somewhat irrelevant because if the airplane and the components of the airplane are kept up to date then there really is no question," he said.Mitchell said the planes undergo a rigorous maintenance program."The airplane is almost entirely disassembled and rebuilt up and so I never had any question about the airplanes."That confidence has not been unequivocally shared though as reports from Ottawa show a desire for a plan to replace the planes, eventually.The 1960s-era jets were set to retire in 2010, but that date was extended 10 years, despite an internal 2003 report that warned of escalating technical, safety and financial risks and urged the fleet be replaced "immediately."A report from the fall of 2014 cleared the fleet as "technically airworthy," but noted "significant" concerns, including some caused by financial restraints.In 2016, the Department of National Defence studied the feasibility of keeping the Canadian-built CT-114 Tutors in operation until 2025 and 2030, despite some "significant concerns" about the aircraft.David McNair, a former member of the air force who also worked as an investigator for the Transportation Safety Board, says the plane is robust and that there are even older planes being flown in Canada successfully, but not like the Tutors."There are planes around that are older, but typically those planes aren't subjected to a lot of vertical forces," he said. "It's a difficult thing to maintain an airplane that's getting older."One of the major obstacles to replacing the planes outright is cost. A procurement tender from 2015 put the cost between $500 million and $1.5 billion.'We all know the risks'Mark Miller, who has worked with the team and made documentaries about the program, said the latest crash is another shock to the Snowbirds community. There have been seven pilots and one passenger killed, as well as several aircraft lost over the course of the Snowbirds' history.But like Mitchell, Miller also believes in the planes, how well they are maintained, and that pilots will continue to safely fly them."Aviation is a funny business … we all know the risks, we all know the dangers, yet we all still strap into airplanes and we all go flying knowing that. It brings about a tremendous amount of joy."Watch Mark Miller argue why age is not important when it comes to the Snowbirds' Tutor jets:
2 provinces, 2 approaches for 'travel corridor' to Magdalen Islands-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island appear to be taking different approaches to the complicated question of how people from Quebec can travel through the two provinces to reach the Magdalen Islands.New Brunswick is letting people passing through the province make stops for food, gas or washrooms, and Premier Blaine Higgs says he's open to the idea of a "travel corridor" for Quebecers heading to the Magdalens."I'm sure we can work something out there," he said Thursday in an interview with CBC Radio in Quebec City.But P.E.I. Premier Dennis King said Friday that, for now, he's sticking with his province's approach of not allowing people heading to the Magdalens to make stops.He said his staff told the office of Quebec Premier François Legault "that we wouldn't be in a position to want to do that just yet … other than what we do for essential travel right now."King said with tourism season approaching, "these are some of the issues we have to deal with … [but] we're comfortable right now with what we have in place and we would like to continue that for the time being." Higgs said at his Friday briefing that the three governments would continue to discuss the issue. "We want to be in a position where we have the same kind of rules."Other than by air, the only way Quebecers can reach the Magdalen Islands is by driving through New Brunswick to P.E.I. and catching a ferry in the town of Souris.2 sets of restrictions-That makes Quebec travellers subject to two other sets of provincial COVID-19 restrictions to reach another part of their own province.It's a travel conundrum that will soon become more acute during the summer tourism season, a staple of the Magdalen Islands' economy. "If we are to have a tourist season this summer, will that be allowed? That's the question I'm asking," said Joel Arseneau, the member of the Quebec legislature representing the islands.People from central regions of Quebec often face a 10-hour drive into New Brunswick, through the province, across the Confederation Bridge and then to Souris, he said. "The question is, can you get through New Brunswick without stopping? The answer is no. You need to gas up. You may need to get some food."He said many travellers heading to the islands for the summer also break up the long trip with an overnight hotel stay in Moncton, and allowing that could be part of the corridor concept he's proposing.Stops don't cover overnight stays-Higgs told CBC Radio's Quebec AM last week that some kind of special corridor "just makes sense ... and it goes in line with what we've been doing, to ensure other provinces aren't cut off for people who are passing through New Brunswick."In fact, the province's online guidelines say people can already transit the province if they "demonstrate they are travelling through to another jurisdiction and who agree to limit stops to food, fuel and personal needs and agree to follow the guidance of the Chief Medical Officer of Health."But while the phrase "personal needs" includes bathroom breaks, it does not cover overnight hotel stops, said Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shawn Berry.Higgs said the idea from the beginning, coordinated with Prince Edward Island, was to allow "a straight run" to the Magdalens without any overnight stops. In Prince Edward Island, at least one grocery store owner near the Souris ferry terminal is refusing to let out-of-province travellers into his store.Higgs did not answer a question at Friday's briefing about whether store owners in New Brunswick can or should be able to choose to refuse to serve non-New Brunswickers.An official with Couche-Tard, the company operating some Irving Big Stop and Circle K stations along the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick, said it is not restricting out-of-province travellers from entering their stations.But non-New Brunswick drivers are being asked to pay for their gas at the pumps rather than go inside. Berry said those policies are up to the store owners as long as they are following all Public Health rules, such as physical distancing requirements.Quebec's conundrum with the Magdalen Islands is also complicated by its own shifting COVID-19 precautions.When the pandemic began, the province restricted internal travel between regions within Quebec. Only residents of the Magdalen Islands and people transporting essential goods were allowed to travel there and they needed permission from the Quebec government.That permission was enough to let them transit through New Brunswick and PEI, Arseneau said.With those internal restrictions being lifted Monday, cottage owners will be added to the list of those allowed to travel to the island, but they'll now be subject to New Brunswick and P.E.I. border restrictions.Arseneau said his understanding is they'll apply to P.E.I. for permission and that permission will also be respected by New Brunswick. He said the situation could need to change yet again next month, when tourism season begins in earnest in the Magdalen Islands and more Quebecers will be looking to get there for vacations. At that point a much larger volume of people will need to know if they can stop in New Brunswick and P.E.I. while en route, he said. "That's what I think the two governments should get straight."Higgs said Friday allowing Quebecers to pass through en route to the Magdalen Islands may raise the issue of whether Quebecers with cottages in New Brunswick should be let in.But he said he doesn't foresee the New Brunswick-Quebec border opening to regular travel before the end of the summer.

As life on Earth is upended, astronomers keep looking up-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
George Ennis has been spending his evenings of late hunched next to his personal computerized telescope in his Sechelt, B.C., backyard. He blocks out everything around him, ignores the phone in his pocket and focuses his mind and gaze on space, greater than the world around him.As with every spring, it's galaxy season."There are tens of thousands of things to see," said Ennis, 66. "If I hold up a grain of sand at arm's length, I'm covering 100,000 galaxies."Astronomers across B.C. have been holding star-hopping expeditions online since they've been unable to gather together at their regular observatory haunts. Glowing nebulas, spectacular galaxies, gravitationally-bound clusters of stars dancing together in space — they're all still there, untouchable from Earth and unfazed by its human pandemic.The Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club has been holding star-hopping meetings by Zoom, with themes like "the skies this month" and photography tips for beginners. "All you need is binoculars, or even just the naked eye. Go up, look at that sky and go explore. Find the different things that are out there and discover what's going on," said Ennis, who is second vice-president of the club.He said anyone can go online and find guides, even scavenger hunts, to navigate the sky. (If you find half of the 110 objects on his beginner's list, the club will send you a certificate.)Ennis, who has been using his personal Celestron NexStar 6SE computerized telescope, recommends starting with the bucket of the Big Dipper, which is "full of galaxies." The bent letter "W" in the middle of the Milky Way will lead you to the constellation Cassiopeia. The Orion nebula is there, too, a nursery packed with newborn stars."People will sometimes call us on this line and say, 'What nights of the year can I see things?' And I'm thinking, 'Is it a clear night?' I will run out of nights before I can show you everything," said Ennis, who got his first telescope when he was 10.Joanna Woo streamed a Starry Nights event live on YouTube from the Trottier Observatory at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., last week. She attached an astronomical imaging camera to the observatory's 70-mm CDK700 telescope, guiding hundreds of people through the dazzling night sky.They saw the M64 "Black Eye" galaxy, named for its reddish-blue blur, and the M82 "Cigar" galaxy, aptly named for its silvery wisps. Woo trained the telescope on a thin, glowing, crescent Venus setting in the west. The M57 Ring Nebula, the glowing remnants of an old planet, rose to say hello at the very end of the night.Usually, with the Starry Nights events held in person, Woo could spend up to an hour on a single object to give everybody in line a turn at the eyepiece. That delay is erased with a live-stream.Plus, the images are far more radiant. "Human eyes find it really hard to see any colours at all in the dark," she said. "A lot of things look really dim and they look like this tiny, nondescript fuzz in the eyepiece … But with a camera, the colours pop out and you get so much more detail."Woo and Ennis agree there's a humility to astronomy: it shows your place within something enormous."I love thinking about things that are beyond us, that are much bigger than us. It gives you a sense of awe," Woo said."Even as professional astronomers ... you can't run an experiment on a galaxy," Woo continued. "We call it observational astronomy because all we can do is observe."Ennis added, "I can see exactly the scale of things, how small I am — and how important it is to protect this fragile blue marble, here, where we live."
Tropical Storm Arthur unleashes heavy rains, strong winds on U.S. coast-[The Weather Network]-Digital Writers-MAY 18, 2020
Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named Atlantic storm in 2020, is battering parts of the North Carolina and Virginia coasts with heavy and strong winds, as further strengthening is forecast before it starts to weaken.In its latest update, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) says Arthur has maximum, sustained wind speeds near 75 km/h, with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Arthur is likely to lose its tropical characteristics on Tuesday.Arthur is currently moving toward the north-northeast near 24 km/h. A shift toward the northeast with an increase in speed is expected later Monday, followed by a turn toward the east on Tuesday.On the forecast track, the centre of Arthur will approach the coast of North Carolina by midday and then move near or just east of the coast of North Carolina. Arthur is then forecast to veer away from the East Coast of the United States Monday night and Tuesday.Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 kilometres, mainly east of the centre. A buoy located about 30 km south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., recently reported a wind gust of 69 km/h.Arthur is expected to bring 25-75 mm of rain to coastal North Carolina through Monday afternoon, with locally higher amounts up to 130 mm possible. A tropical storm warning continues for parts of the North Carolina coast including the Outer Banks as tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rain are expected.Swells generated by Arthur are affecting parts of the southeast U.S. coast and are expected to spread northward along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast during the next day or two. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and Arthur is its first tropical storm in 2020.Experts at Colorado State University are predicting an above-average Atlantic hurricane season and cite the likely absence of El Niño as a primary factor. Additionally, tropical and subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are currently warmer than normal and are consequently also considered a factor favouring an active Atlantic hurricane season this year.

EU says it won’t recognize unilateral Israeli annexation in West Bank-In statement congratulating new Israeli government, foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says bloc won’t accept any changes to 1967 borders unless agreed to in deal with Palestinians-By TOI staff-may 19,20-Today, 3:43 am
The European Union’s top diplomat on Monday warned Israel against annexing parts of the West Bank, saying the bloc would not recognize any changes to the 1967 borders that were not agreed in a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.In a statement congratulating Israel on the formation of a new government, Josep Borrell also said the EU was willing to help restart long dormant peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.“International law is a fundamental pillar of the international rules-based order. In this respect, the EU and its member states recall that they will not recognize any changes to the 1967 borders unless agreed by Israelis and Palestinians,” Borrell said, adding that “the two-state solution, with Jerusalem as the future capital for both states, is the only way to ensure sustainable peace and stability in the region.”Borrell said they viewed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s commitment to push forward with annexation with “grave concern.”“We strongly urge Israel to refrain from any unilateral decision that would lead to the annexation of any occupied Palestinian territory and would be, as such, contrary to international law.”Presenting his new government on Sunday, Netanyahu said Israel’s law should be extended over West Bank land.“These regions are the cradle of the Jewish people. It is time to extend Israel’s law over them. This step won’t bring us further away from peace, it will get us closer. The truth is, and everyone knows it, that the hundreds of thousands of settlers in Judea and Samaria will always stay put in any future deal,” he said.The statement comes several days after EU foreign ministers met to discuss possible responses if Israel annexes West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley.On Friday, Borrell said the EU will work to “discourage” any Israeli initiative toward the annexation of parts of the West Bank and devote diplomatic efforts for a solution.Speaking at a press conference in Brussels on Friday after a virtual meeting with EU foreign ministers, Borrell said the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “remains a priority and it is one of the strategic interests of the European Union.”Several European nations led by France, and including Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg, have reportedly expressed support for threats of punitive action in a bid to deter the new Israeli government from carrying out annexation with a green light from WashingtonA picture taken from the controversial E1 corridor in the West Bank shows the Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim in the background, Feb. 25, 2020. (Ahamd Gharabli/AFP)-The EU bloc is Israel’s largest trading partner, grants Israel favored trading status, and helps fund Israeli scientific research and development through its massive Horizon 2020 program.Proposed steps include announcing that Israel would be prevented from entering into trade agreements with the bloc, receiving EU grants or participating in other forms of cooperation with the union. It is not clear if the steps would apply to future agreements or freeze existing ones.Borrell said that European nations “must work to discourage any possible initiative towards annexation” and such a strategy will require that states reach out to Israel, the US, the Palestinians and Arab partners, “using all channels that the EU and the member states have.”Asked if the EU is prepared to take concrete steps to deter Israel from going ahead with its annexation plan, Borrell responded that for the time being, the EU’s efforts are “devoted to the diplomatic action in order to avoid any unilateral action.”“What everybody agreed is that we have to increase our efforts and our reach out to all relevant actors in the Middle East in order to avoid that something that we do not want to happen, could happen… And if this happens, then we will see,” said Borrell.The EU foreign policy chief said it was important for the EU “to have the best relationship with Israel.”As part of their coalition agreement, Netanyahu and Blue and White party chief Benny Gantz agreed that the government can begin moving forward with applying Israeli sovereignty to settlements and the Jordan Valley after July 1, a move expected to enjoy backing from a majority of lawmakers in the Knesset.Though Gantz is believed to oppose unilateral action, he acquiesced to Netanyahu’s demand to allow the matter to be brought to a vote in parliament.The annexation of settlements and the Jordan Valley has been a key campaign promise of Netanyahu and his Likud party in recent elections.Netanyahu’s plan to annex portions of the West Bank has been met with harsh criticism from nearly the entire international community, including Washington’s European allies and key Arab partners. US President Donald Trump’s Mideast peace plan allows for the possibility of US recognition of such annexations provided Israel agrees to negotiate under the framework of the proposal that was unveiled in January.According to the proposed plan, the US will recognize an Israeli application of sovereignty over parts of the West Bank following the completion of a survey conducted by a joint US-Israel mapping committee and Israel’s acceptance of both a four-year freeze of the areas earmarked for a future Palestinian state and a commitment to negotiate with the Palestinians based on the terms of Trump’s peace deal.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plants a tree during an event for the Jewish holiday of Tu Bishvat, in the West Bank settlement of Mevo’ot Yeriho, in the Jordan Valley, February 10, 2020. (Flash90)Alone among most governments, the Trump administration has said it will support the annexation of West Bank territory claimed by the Palestinians for an eventual state as long as Israel agrees to enter peace talks.US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said this month that Washington is ready to recognize Israeli sovereignty over parts of the West Bank should it be declared in the coming weeks.

As Ontario gets set to reopen, self-isolation continues for millions of citizens-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
Millions of Ontarians over the age of 70, as well as people with underlying health conditions, are bracing for a much longer period of self-isolation, even as the rest of the province begins its first phase of reopening this week."Public Health did say stay home and stay indoors, so we took that seriously," said Roger Johnson, a 69-year-old in Ottawa taking care of his 78-year-old partner Matt Hughes, who has early signs of dementia. "Our world is much smaller."Hughes hasn't left the home since March. The same is true of all the couple's friends in the same age group. They are among millions of seniors in Ontario over the age of 70 who have been cautioned that the risks associated with the coronavirus remain high."I call those people every day," said Johnson. "A lot of seniors, they don't have a balcony to go out on. They live in small apartments."Johnson says he'll continue to check in on his friends six months from now if necessary.Doug Ford, Ontario's premier, suggested in April some members of the population may have to self-isolate until a vaccine is found. But last week, Barbara Yaffe, the province's associate chief medical officer of health, offered better prospects. "I don't think it's realistic to think that they will have to stay home for all that time — I don't think people would want to do that." said Yaffe. "I do think people who have underlying health conditions — particularly immunocompromised people — will have to take special care."That "special care" includes maintaining physical distance, wearing a mask and keeping close tabs on their health, she said.'Trying to calibrate' riskOttawa's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Vera Etches said the future depends on what happens as the province raises restrictions on the general population."We're just trying to calibrate, where we're trying to balance against the increased risk of growing levels of infection as we interact with people more," she said. "That's why we all need to do our part, so that people who are more at risk of a negative outcome will have the opportunity to get out and about again sooner rather than later."Public health and community agencies are now beginning to reach out to those asked to continue self-isolation to determine how well people are coping. Statistic Canada reports there are 1.7 million seniors over 70 in Ontario. Diabetes Canada estimates more than four million people in the province have, or run the risk of developing, type 1 or type 2 diabetes, one of several chronic health conditions that raise the risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.Mental, Physical Health -Ottawa has created the Human Needs Task Force, which has been working with seniors, community groups, the Red Cross, and health agencies to undertake some 1,700 wellness checks, deliver food, and create opportunities for people to remain social. Coun. Jenna Sudds, the task force's chair, said it's a big concern that so many people in the community — most on limited incomes — could face more months of self-isolation."I think there are many challenges," she said, noting that many people are not getting access to regular exercise or face-to-face contact with their physicians, which is only part of their general well-being."I think we need to be concerned about people's mental health. Certainly isolation takes a toll."As a senior on a limited income, Johnson said he's also seen the cost of food jump, particularly when limited to food delivery or a single store within walking distance.He said the experience of having to go to multiple stores to find missing items is fraught with fear and frustration over repeated experiences being near others not wearing masks or not taking rules of physical distancing seriously enough.'Making sure they're protected'Assessing the needs of people like Johnson has been the focus of a survey by community groups like the Glebe Centre's Abbotsford Community Support in Ottawa."We want to make sure that they're protected," said Karen Anne Blakely, its community services director.The centre surveyed the people already accessing services before the pandemic, and found about a third requested help including wellness checks, and help with getting groceries. But they decided to cast the net broader this week."Those people who are living alone and may have thought that they could be just fine for a few weeks," she said. "Now that we're moving on to eight weeks, people are finding it a little more difficult."'We all help each other'The centre has tripled the number of people making wellness calls. Volunteers are helping to put together food hampers, making deliveries, helping to facilitate virtual classes, and making social calls using the old-fashioned phone.On a 10-person call arranged by the centre on Friday, CBC heard from participants who said the connection has been critical to remaining positive through self-isolation.They talked about missing hugs from their grandchildren or having lunch with friends at the community centre. "I think we all try to help each other," said one caller, Frances Eisert. "It's very very helpful." "Because being with other people is what I miss the most," added Brian Bodely.

Former Snowbirds commander, team member confident in safety of plane-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
A former Snowbirds commander and team member say even though the planes the team flies — the Canadian-built CT-114 Tutors — are close to 60 years old, they have no concerns about their safety. "There isn't a better jet that exists today to be able to do the Snowbirds' mission and I really feel strongly about that," says Robert Mitchell, who led the team in 2007 and 2008.The former Snowbirds commander says the team's alumni are pulling together to support the current team after one member died and another was injured in a crash in Kamloops on Sunday. It is not yet known what caused the plane to fall from the sky.Mitchell, however, is well aware of the previous tragedies that have befallen the Snowbirds. 'Shared horror'In his first year as commander, just before the first performance of 2007, his second pilot, Capt. Shawn McCaughey of Quebec, died in a crash.McCaughey was practising for an air show at the Malmstrom Air Force Base in northern Montana.A military report later concluded that McCaughey's seatbelt came unfastened as he was steering his plane through a roll, causing him to fall out of his seat and lose control of the plane."I can't help but think about my teams in 2007 when there was a crash … that shared horror," he said on Sunday from his home in North Vancouver.Robert Mitchell said though that he has never doubted the utility of the Tutor jets and although it has yet to be determined what caused this latest crash, Mitchell believes the planes are safe and should continue to be flown."The age of plane is somewhat irrelevant because if the airplane and the components of the airplane are kept up to date then there really is no question," he said.Mitchell said the planes undergo a rigorous maintenance program."The airplane is almost entirely disassembled and rebuilt up and so I never had any question about the airplanes."That confidence has not been unequivocally shared though as reports from Ottawa show a desire for a plan to replace the planes, eventually.The 1960s-era jets were set to retire in 2010, but that date was extended 10 years, despite an internal 2003 report that warned of escalating technical, safety and financial risks and urged the fleet be replaced "immediately."A report from the fall of 2014 cleared the fleet as "technically airworthy," but noted "significant" concerns, including some caused by financial restraints.In 2016, the Department of National Defence studied the feasibility of keeping the Canadian-built CT-114 Tutors in operation until 2025 and 2030, despite some "significant concerns" about the aircraft.David McNair, a former member of the air force who also worked as an investigator for the Transportation Safety Board, says the plane is robust and that there are even older planes being flown in Canada successfully, but not like the Tutors."There are planes around that are older, but typically those planes aren't subjected to a lot of vertical forces," he said. "It's a difficult thing to maintain an airplane that's getting older."One of the major obstacles to replacing the planes outright is cost. A procurement tender from 2015 put the cost between $500 million and $1.5 billion.'We all know the risks'Mark Miller, who has worked with the team and made documentaries about the program, said the latest crash is another shock to the Snowbirds community. There have been seven pilots and one passenger killed, as well as several aircraft lost over the course of the Snowbirds' history.But like Mitchell, Miller also believes in the planes, how well they are maintained, and that pilots will continue to safely fly them."Aviation is a funny business … we all know the risks, we all know the dangers, yet we all still strap into airplanes and we all go flying knowing that. It brings about a tremendous amount of joy."Watch Mark Miller argue why age is not important when it comes to the Snowbirds' Tutor jets:
2 provinces, 2 approaches for 'travel corridor' to Magdalen Islands-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island appear to be taking different approaches to the complicated question of how people from Quebec can travel through the two provinces to reach the Magdalen Islands.New Brunswick is letting people passing through the province make stops for food, gas or washrooms, and Premier Blaine Higgs says he's open to the idea of a "travel corridor" for Quebecers heading to the Magdalens."I'm sure we can work something out there," he said Thursday in an interview with CBC Radio in Quebec City.But P.E.I. Premier Dennis King said Friday that, for now, he's sticking with his province's approach of not allowing people heading to the Magdalens to make stops.He said his staff told the office of Quebec Premier François Legault "that we wouldn't be in a position to want to do that just yet … other than what we do for essential travel right now."King said with tourism season approaching, "these are some of the issues we have to deal with … [but] we're comfortable right now with what we have in place and we would like to continue that for the time being." Higgs said at his Friday briefing that the three governments would continue to discuss the issue. "We want to be in a position where we have the same kind of rules."Other than by air, the only way Quebecers can reach the Magdalen Islands is by driving through New Brunswick to P.E.I. and catching a ferry in the town of Souris.2 sets of restrictions-That makes Quebec travellers subject to two other sets of provincial COVID-19 restrictions to reach another part of their own province.It's a travel conundrum that will soon become more acute during the summer tourism season, a staple of the Magdalen Islands' economy. "If we are to have a tourist season this summer, will that be allowed? That's the question I'm asking," said Joel Arseneau, the member of the Quebec legislature representing the islands.People from central regions of Quebec often face a 10-hour drive into New Brunswick, through the province, across the Confederation Bridge and then to Souris, he said. "The question is, can you get through New Brunswick without stopping? The answer is no. You need to gas up. You may need to get some food."He said many travellers heading to the islands for the summer also break up the long trip with an overnight hotel stay in Moncton, and allowing that could be part of the corridor concept he's proposing.Stops don't cover overnight stays-Higgs told CBC Radio's Quebec AM last week that some kind of special corridor "just makes sense ... and it goes in line with what we've been doing, to ensure other provinces aren't cut off for people who are passing through New Brunswick."In fact, the province's online guidelines say people can already transit the province if they "demonstrate they are travelling through to another jurisdiction and who agree to limit stops to food, fuel and personal needs and agree to follow the guidance of the Chief Medical Officer of Health."But while the phrase "personal needs" includes bathroom breaks, it does not cover overnight hotel stops, said Department of Public Safety spokesperson Shawn Berry.Higgs said the idea from the beginning, coordinated with Prince Edward Island, was to allow "a straight run" to the Magdalens without any overnight stops. In Prince Edward Island, at least one grocery store owner near the Souris ferry terminal is refusing to let out-of-province travellers into his store.Higgs did not answer a question at Friday's briefing about whether store owners in New Brunswick can or should be able to choose to refuse to serve non-New Brunswickers.An official with Couche-Tard, the company operating some Irving Big Stop and Circle K stations along the Trans-Canada Highway in New Brunswick, said it is not restricting out-of-province travellers from entering their stations.But non-New Brunswick drivers are being asked to pay for their gas at the pumps rather than go inside. Berry said those policies are up to the store owners as long as they are following all Public Health rules, such as physical distancing requirements.Quebec's conundrum with the Magdalen Islands is also complicated by its own shifting COVID-19 precautions.When the pandemic began, the province restricted internal travel between regions within Quebec. Only residents of the Magdalen Islands and people transporting essential goods were allowed to travel there and they needed permission from the Quebec government.That permission was enough to let them transit through New Brunswick and PEI, Arseneau said.With those internal restrictions being lifted Monday, cottage owners will be added to the list of those allowed to travel to the island, but they'll now be subject to New Brunswick and P.E.I. border restrictions.Arseneau said his understanding is they'll apply to P.E.I. for permission and that permission will also be respected by New Brunswick. He said the situation could need to change yet again next month, when tourism season begins in earnest in the Magdalen Islands and more Quebecers will be looking to get there for vacations. At that point a much larger volume of people will need to know if they can stop in New Brunswick and P.E.I. while en route, he said. "That's what I think the two governments should get straight."Higgs said Friday allowing Quebecers to pass through en route to the Magdalen Islands may raise the issue of whether Quebecers with cottages in New Brunswick should be let in.But he said he doesn't foresee the New Brunswick-Quebec border opening to regular travel before the end of the summer.

As life on Earth is upended, astronomers keep looking up-[CBC]-May 18, 2020
George Ennis has been spending his evenings of late hunched next to his personal computerized telescope in his Sechelt, B.C., backyard. He blocks out everything around him, ignores the phone in his pocket and focuses his mind and gaze on space, greater than the world around him.As with every spring, it's galaxy season."There are tens of thousands of things to see," said Ennis, 66. "If I hold up a grain of sand at arm's length, I'm covering 100,000 galaxies."Astronomers across B.C. have been holding star-hopping expeditions online since they've been unable to gather together at their regular observatory haunts. Glowing nebulas, spectacular galaxies, gravitationally-bound clusters of stars dancing together in space — they're all still there, untouchable from Earth and unfazed by its human pandemic.The Sunshine Coast Astronomy Club has been holding star-hopping meetings by Zoom, with themes like "the skies this month" and photography tips for beginners. "All you need is binoculars, or even just the naked eye. Go up, look at that sky and go explore. Find the different things that are out there and discover what's going on," said Ennis, who is second vice-president of the club.He said anyone can go online and find guides, even scavenger hunts, to navigate the sky. (If you find half of the 110 objects on his beginner's list, the club will send you a certificate.)Ennis, who has been using his personal Celestron NexStar 6SE computerized telescope, recommends starting with the bucket of the Big Dipper, which is "full of galaxies." The bent letter "W" in the middle of the Milky Way will lead you to the constellation Cassiopeia. The Orion nebula is there, too, a nursery packed with newborn stars."People will sometimes call us on this line and say, 'What nights of the year can I see things?' And I'm thinking, 'Is it a clear night?' I will run out of nights before I can show you everything," said Ennis, who got his first telescope when he was 10.Joanna Woo streamed a Starry Nights event live on YouTube from the Trottier Observatory at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., last week. She attached an astronomical imaging camera to the observatory's 70-mm CDK700 telescope, guiding hundreds of people through the dazzling night sky.They saw the M64 "Black Eye" galaxy, named for its reddish-blue blur, and the M82 "Cigar" galaxy, aptly named for its silvery wisps. Woo trained the telescope on a thin, glowing, crescent Venus setting in the west. The M57 Ring Nebula, the glowing remnants of an old planet, rose to say hello at the very end of the night.Usually, with the Starry Nights events held in person, Woo could spend up to an hour on a single object to give everybody in line a turn at the eyepiece. That delay is erased with a live-stream.Plus, the images are far more radiant. "Human eyes find it really hard to see any colours at all in the dark," she said. "A lot of things look really dim and they look like this tiny, nondescript fuzz in the eyepiece … But with a camera, the colours pop out and you get so much more detail."Woo and Ennis agree there's a humility to astronomy: it shows your place within something enormous."I love thinking about things that are beyond us, that are much bigger than us. It gives you a sense of awe," Woo said."Even as professional astronomers ... you can't run an experiment on a galaxy," Woo continued. "We call it observational astronomy because all we can do is observe."Ennis added, "I can see exactly the scale of things, how small I am — and how important it is to protect this fragile blue marble, here, where we live."
Tropical Storm Arthur unleashes heavy rains, strong winds on U.S. coast-[The Weather Network]-Digital Writers-MAY 18, 2020
Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named Atlantic storm in 2020, is battering parts of the North Carolina and Virginia coasts with heavy and strong winds, as further strengthening is forecast before it starts to weaken.In its latest update, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) says Arthur has maximum, sustained wind speeds near 75 km/h, with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Arthur is likely to lose its tropical characteristics on Tuesday.Arthur is currently moving toward the north-northeast near 24 km/h. A shift toward the northeast with an increase in speed is expected later Monday, followed by a turn toward the east on Tuesday.On the forecast track, the centre of Arthur will approach the coast of North Carolina by midday and then move near or just east of the coast of North Carolina. Arthur is then forecast to veer away from the East Coast of the United States Monday night and Tuesday.Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 kilometres, mainly east of the centre. A buoy located about 30 km south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., recently reported a wind gust of 69 km/h.Arthur is expected to bring 25-75 mm of rain to coastal North Carolina through Monday afternoon, with locally higher amounts up to 130 mm possible. A tropical storm warning continues for parts of the North Carolina coast including the Outer Banks as tropical-storm-force winds and heavy rain are expected.Swells generated by Arthur are affecting parts of the southeast U.S. coast and are expected to spread northward along the U.S. mid-Atlantic coast during the next day or two. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and Arthur is its first tropical storm in 2020.Experts at Colorado State University are predicting an above-average Atlantic hurricane season and cite the likely absence of El Niño as a primary factor. Additionally, tropical and subtropical Atlantic sea surface temperatures are currently warmer than normal and are consequently also considered a factor favouring an active Atlantic hurricane season this year.

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king (EU DICTATOR) of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences,(FROM THE OCCULT) shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:(SATANS POWER) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;(JESUS) but he shall be broken without hand.
DANIEL 11:36-40
36 And the king shall do according to his will;(EU PRESIDENT) and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(HES A MILITARY GINIUS) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And athe time of the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
ISAIAH 26:21
21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.(WW3,1/2 earths population die).
ISAIAH 13:6-13 KJV
6 Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt:(FROM FRIGHT)
8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
EU says it won’t recognize unilateral Israeli annexation in West Bank-In statement congratulating new Israeli government, foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says bloc won’t accept any changes to 1967 borders unless agreed to in deal with Palestinians-By TOI staff-may 19,20-Today, 3:43 am
The European Union’s top diplomat on Monday warned Israel against annexing parts of the West Bank, saying the bloc would not recognize any changes to the 1967 borders that were not agreed in a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.In a statement congratulating Israel on the formation of a new government, Josep Borrell also said the EU was willing to help restart long dormant peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.“International law is a fundamental pillar of the international rules-based order. In this respect, the EU and its member states recall that they will not recognize any changes to the 1967 borders unless agreed by Israelis and Palestinians,” Borrell said, adding that “the two-state solution, with Jerusalem as the future capital for both states, is the only way to ensure sustainable peace and stability in the region.”Borrell said they viewed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s commitment to push forward with annexation with “grave concern.”“We strongly urge Israel to refrain from any unilateral decision that would lead to the annexation of any occupied Palestinian territory and would be, as such, contrary to international law.”Presenting his new government on Sunday, Netanyahu said Israel’s law should be extended over West Bank land.“These regions are the cradle of the Jewish people. It is time to extend Israel’s law over them. This step won’t bring us further away from peace, it will get us closer. The truth is, and everyone knows it, that the hundreds of thousands of settlers in Judea and Samaria will always stay put in any future deal,” he said.The statement comes several days after EU foreign ministers met to discuss possible responses if Israel annexes West Bank settlements and the Jordan Valley.On Friday, Borrell said the EU will work to “discourage” any Israeli initiative toward the annexation of parts of the West Bank and devote diplomatic efforts for a solution.Speaking at a press conference in Brussels on Friday after a virtual meeting with EU foreign ministers, Borrell said the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “remains a priority and it is one of the strategic interests of the European Union.”Several European nations led by France, and including Ireland, Sweden, Belgium, Spain and Luxembourg, have reportedly expressed support for threats of punitive action in a bid to deter the new Israeli government from carrying out annexation with a green light from WashingtonA picture taken from the controversial E1 corridor in the West Bank shows the Israeli settlement of Ma’ale Adumim in the background, Feb. 25, 2020. (Ahamd Gharabli/AFP)-The EU bloc is Israel’s largest trading partner, grants Israel favored trading status, and helps fund Israeli scientific research and development through its massive Horizon 2020 program.Proposed steps include announcing that Israel would be prevented from entering into trade agreements with the bloc, receiving EU grants or participating in other forms of cooperation with the union. It is not clear if the steps would apply to future agreements or freeze existing ones.Borrell said that European nations “must work to discourage any possible initiative towards annexation” and such a strategy will require that states reach out to Israel, the US, the Palestinians and Arab partners, “using all channels that the EU and the member states have.”Asked if the EU is prepared to take concrete steps to deter Israel from going ahead with its annexation plan, Borrell responded that for the time being, the EU’s efforts are “devoted to the diplomatic action in order to avoid any unilateral action.”“What everybody agreed is that we have to increase our efforts and our reach out to all relevant actors in the Middle East in order to avoid that something that we do not want to happen, could happen… And if this happens, then we will see,” said Borrell.The EU foreign policy chief said it was important for the EU “to have the best relationship with Israel.”As part of their coalition agreement, Netanyahu and Blue and White party chief Benny Gantz agreed that the government can begin moving forward with applying Israeli sovereignty to settlements and the Jordan Valley after July 1, a move expected to enjoy backing from a majority of lawmakers in the Knesset.Though Gantz is believed to oppose unilateral action, he acquiesced to Netanyahu’s demand to allow the matter to be brought to a vote in parliament.The annexation of settlements and the Jordan Valley has been a key campaign promise of Netanyahu and his Likud party in recent elections.Netanyahu’s plan to annex portions of the West Bank has been met with harsh criticism from nearly the entire international community, including Washington’s European allies and key Arab partners. US President Donald Trump’s Mideast peace plan allows for the possibility of US recognition of such annexations provided Israel agrees to negotiate under the framework of the proposal that was unveiled in January.According to the proposed plan, the US will recognize an Israeli application of sovereignty over parts of the West Bank following the completion of a survey conducted by a joint US-Israel mapping committee and Israel’s acceptance of both a four-year freeze of the areas earmarked for a future Palestinian state and a commitment to negotiate with the Palestinians based on the terms of Trump’s peace deal.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plants a tree during an event for the Jewish holiday of Tu Bishvat, in the West Bank settlement of Mevo’ot Yeriho, in the Jordan Valley, February 10, 2020. (Flash90)Alone among most governments, the Trump administration has said it will support the annexation of West Bank territory claimed by the Palestinians for an eventual state as long as Israel agrees to enter peace talks.US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said this month that Washington is ready to recognize Israeli sovereignty over parts of the West Bank should it be declared in the coming weeks.
