Canada's environment commissioner says the country is nowhere near to meeting its goal of planting two-billion trees by 2030.
The Liberals first made the massive tree-planting promise during the 2019 federal election campaign and followed through with a 10-year 3.2-billion-dollar budget for it in 2020.
However, an audit of the first two years of planting says it appears the government isn't on track to get even four per cent of the promised trees in the ground by the end of 2030.
The advantage of getting the shot this fall is that new Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are expected to be more tailor-made to fight Omicron variants. Almost 94 per cent of B.C. residents have had their first shot, 91.2 per cent have had a second, but just 59.5 have had their booster.
A 40-year-old woman who was inside the residence suffered non-life threatening injuries and is in stable condition recovering in hospital. The Surrey RCMP General Investigation Unit has taken conduct of the investigation. The investigation is in the early stages and police are still working to determine a possible motive for this shooting.
The 67-year-old Abe, who was Japan’s longest-serving leader when he resigned in 2020, collapsed bleeding and was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Nara, although he was not breathing and his heart had stopped. He was pronounced dead after receiving massive blood transfusions, officials said.
Craig James, who’s 71 years old, was found guilty of fraud and breach of trust over expenses of a new suit and shirts he claimed as work attire. Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes sentenced James to three months, imprisonment but to be served in his home.
A notice on the Toronto-based telecommunications company's website said the outage is impacting both its wireless and home service customers and is also affecting phone and chat support.
Coquitlam RCMP would like to remind the public that if you have lost a large amount of money, you could call police and make a report. "There is no reason to feel embarrassed", says Constable Deanna Law. Accidents happen and police would simply like to get the money back to the individual that lost it.
