After over a year of holding virtual events, Saturday marked the in-person return of the Kingston Humane Society&#8217;s (KHS) annual Big Paws fundraiser.
&#8220;Losing those events during the pandemic was really, really difficult,&#8221; says KHS Executive Director Gord Hunter. &#8220;This is like a big coming-out party for everybody to be back in person. We&#8217;re just happy to be able to do this and hopefully go forward with more in-person events, because we raise about $80,000 from in-person events.&#8221;
Those donations make a big difference for the organization, as 70 per cent of KHS funding comes from the public.

Hunter says that he&#8217;s seen an 85 per cent jump in the number of animals in their care. Last year at this time, KHS was caring for 133 animals, and as of this week, they have 233 animals in care.
&#8220;Right now we have more animals in care, more animals available for adoption than we&#8217;ve ever had at a single point in time,&#8221; says Hunter. &#8220;Our goal is to make sure we get those animals into forever homes and Kingston has been great and the community has been amazing, not just in supporting events, but in supporting us through adoptions as well.&#8221;
While waiting for adoption, many animals enter foster care.
For some Kingstonians, the pandemic has made fostering a more viable option.

&#8220;I think the pandemic helped in our decision because we were at home,&#8221; says Julia Hale. She and her family are currently fostering a dog with KHS.
&#8220;I&#8217;m a teacher so I was at home more, my husband started working from home, the kids were home. We were just around, so we knew that we could provide the care to a foster that maybe we wouldn&#8217;t have been able to otherwise,&#8221; Hale says.
Savannah Kilpatrick, who has dreams of becoming a veterinarian, started fostering dogs three months ago and is now fostering her second dog, Apollo.
&#8220;When they&#8217;re at home, you get to see them come out of their shell,&#8221; says the 17-year-old. &#8220;You see what they like, what they don&#8217;t like, how they like their routines. And you just really get to see who the dog really is.&#8221;
While donations continue to roll in, the Kingston Humane Society has already confirmed that at least $19,000 was raised at Saturday&#8217;s event. That&#8217;s at least 32 per cent more raised than the last in-person fundraiser in 2019.

Supporters gathered in Halifax on Saturday to raise awareness for what they say is a need for Nova Scotia and Canada to implement a <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/basic-income" target="_blank">basic income</a> program.
&#8220;A basic income is enough money to provide people with support for their basic needs,&#8221; said Mandy Kay-Raining Bird, chair of the Basic Income Group of Nova Scotia. &#8220;It&#8217;s a direct payment from the government to ensure that everyone has sufficient income to participate in society and live with dignity.&#8221;
The concept of a basic income isn&#8217;t new and other provinces in Canada have studied it and introduced basic income pilot projects, like in Manitoba and in Ontario.

				Climate rallies in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia demand action			</a>
		
	
Prince Edward Island has been studying it and in February the province requested co-operation from the federal government to establish a working group to help set up a basic income guarantee program there.
&#8220;What we advocate for is the provincial government and the federal government to work together to ensure the implementation of a basic income. It can&#8217;t be done by the provinces because they don&#8217;t have enough money,&#8221; said Kay-Raining Bird.
Christie Ragan was at the rally, advocating for a universal basic income program.
&#8220;The most vulnerable people are being left out in the cold, literally,&#8221; said Ragan, a single mother who is trying to finish her degree in acupuncture and traditional medicine.

Ragan says the pandemic has put her at least a year behind in her schooling and says it&#8217;s been hard to juggle her school commitments, parenting and a job which she&#8217;s currently out of.
&#8220;I have no savings left, I did have a spousal support settlement from when my marriage ended but it was supposed to last me until after I was finished school and until I could find work but it&#8217;s gone,&#8221; said Ragan.
A basic income would help Ragan pay rent, something she&#8217;s not sure she&#8217;ll be able to do at the end of the month.
&#8220;I can pay my bills and my rent at the end of the month, I can eat, but I can&#8217;t do both,&#8221; said Ragan. &#8220;A basic income would help me out and I could survive on that.&#8221;

Basic Income Nova Scotia says the pandemic has shown that the government has the capacity to act quickly and implement a basic income program and Kay-Raining Bird says it&#8217;s not as radical as some might suggest, pointing to the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) which quickly delivered cash to millions of Canadians who were left unemployed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
&#8220;The government identified $2,000 a month as a level that was necessary to meet people&#8217;s basic needs,&#8221; said Kay-Raining Bird. &#8220;But it&#8217;s not a basic income.&#8221;
The rally was attended by a dozen people on Saturday and organizers say they are interested in raising more awareness about the basic income program and want to work with the newly elected Progressive Conservative government to study how the program could work for Nova Scotians.

Supporters gathered in Halifax on Saturday to raise awareness and push the government in Nova Scotia to implement a basic income.

A traveling exhibit is aiming to drive conversation about air pollution.
“Lungs in the Air,&#8221; featuring a pair of 10-metre inflatable lungs, made a stop in Calgary’s East Village Saturday, coinciding with World Lung Day.

The massive lungs and interactive <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/ target="_blank" rel="noopener" target="_blank">website</a> allow people to see what&#8217;s in the air they&#8217;re breathing.
In a news release, the Canadian Lung Association said air pollution is identified as one of the biggest risk factors for premature death and disability, with more than 15,000 Canadian deaths attributed to air pollution-related causes annually.
Environmental factors such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, pollution and vehicle exhaust all contribute to poor air quality. Health risks from exposure include coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath, as well as lung cancer and cardiovascular disease.
The association added with the ongoing climate crisis, we&#8217;re seeing more frequent and extreme events like wildfires, which add to the air pollutants and volatile organic compounds in the air we breathe.

A 19-year-old woman was killed in a <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/collision" target="_blank">collision</a> in Southwest Nova Scotia Friday night.
In a release, RCMP said members with its Yarmouth detachment responded to a single-vehicle collision on Highway 1 in Darlings Lake around 10:24 p.m.
&#8220;At the scene, police learned a car heading south on the highway had struck a guard rail and crashed,&#8221; the release said.

<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/category/germany" target="_blank">Germany</a>&#8216;s closely fought election on Sunday will set the direction of the European Union&#8217;s most populous country after 16 years under Angela Merkel, whose party is scrambling to avoid defeat by its center-left rivals after a rollercoaster campaign. The environmentalist Greens also are eyeing at least a share of power.
About 60.4 million people in the nation of 83 million are eligible to elect the new parliament, which decides who will be the next head of government. Recent polls point to a neck-and-neck race between Merkel&#8217;s center-right Union bloc and the Social Democrats, with the latter marginally ahead.

				Pandemic elections: What other countries have voted during COVID-19?			</a>
		
	
The polls show the Greens, making their first bid for the chancellorship, in third place after a campaign in which all three have held the lead. The Social Democrats&#8217; candidate, current finance minister and Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz, has seen his personal ratings climb amid error-strewn campaigns by his rivals, the Union&#8217;s Armin Laschet and the Greens&#8217; Annalena Baerbock.
Merkel, who remains personally popular after steering Germany through a string of crises, announced in 2018 that she wouldn&#8217;t go for a fifth term. That set up the first election since West Germany&#8217;s initial vote in 1949 in which there is no incumbent chancellor seeking re-election.
Voters appear underwhelmed by the choices. Whoever finishes first is expected to get a historically low share of the vote, with polls showing no party expected to get 30% support. The lowest score so far for a winning party is the Union&#8217;s 31% in 1949, which also is the bloc&#8217;s worst showing to date.

Such an outcome would likely trigger lengthy haggling on a new governing coalition, with whichever party finishes first best-placed _ but not guaranteed _ to have its candidate succeed Merkel.
A first-place finish for the Social Democrats, who provided three of Germany&#8217;s eight post-World War II chancellors but have been Merkel&#8217;s junior governing partners for 12 of the past 16 years, would be remarkable after a long poll slump for the party. When the Union and the Greens chose their candidates this spring, the election was widely expected to be a race between the two.

The Union was prepared for a Laschet-Baerbock battle and &#8220;Laschet wanted practically to act as the incumbent, with all his leadership expertise&#8221; from his current job as governor of Germany&#8217;s most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, political science professor Andrea Roemmele of the Hertie School in Berlin said this week.
&#8220;But now the duel isn&#8217;t Laschet against Baerbock, it&#8217;s Laschet against Scholz, and in this combination Mr. Laschet has been forced into the role of challenger,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Scholz is deploying all the power of his vice chancellorship, of the finance minister, and is enjoying campaigning this way; he has simply managed to build up trust.&#8221;
Scholz also has had the smoothest campaign, although opponents sought to capitalize on a recent police search at his ministry. Baerbock suffered from early gaffes, notably having to correct details in a resume and facing allegations of plagiarism in a new book.
Laschet, the governor of North Rhine-Westphalia, was nominated after a divisive internal battle with a rival, then suffered from perceptions that he poorly handled deadly floods that hit his state in July. A scene in which he was seen laughing in the background as Germany&#8217;s president delivered solemn remarks about the disaster did not help his campaign image.

Those woes have often distracted from policy issues.
The leading parties have significant differences in their proposals for tackling climate change. Laschet&#8217;s Union is pinning its hopes on technological solutions and a market-driven approach, while the Greens want to ramp up carbon prices and end the use of coal earlier than planned. Scholz has emphasized the need to protect jobs as Europe&#8217;s biggest economy transitions to greener energy.
Laschet insists there should be no tax increases as Germany pulls out of the coronavirus pandemic, which the country weathered well economically thanks to large rescue packages that have incurred new debt. Scholz and Baerbock favor tax hikes for the richest Germans, and also back an increase in the country&#8217;s minimum wage.

Foreign policy hasn&#8217;t played much of a role in the campaign, though the Greens favor a tougher stance toward China and Russia.
As their poll ratings have sagged, Laschet and other Union leaders have issued constant warnings that Scholz and the Greens would form a coalition with the opposition Left Party, which opposes NATO and German military deployments abroad. Whether such a partnership is realistic is questionable, given foreign policy and other differences.
Scholz&#8217;s first choice would likely be an alliance with the Greens and the pro-business Free Democrats _ and a coalition with those two parties is also Laschet&#8217;s likeliest route to power. The Greens favor an alliance with the Social Democrats, and the Free Democrats prefer one with the Union.
The election&#8217;s result may also allow for a repeat of the outgoing &#8220;grand coalition&#8221; of the traditional big parties, under either Scholz or Laschet, though there&#8217;s unlikely to be much appetite for that on either side. But no party wants to bring the far-right Alternative for Germany into government.

Germany’s closely fought election on Sunday will set the direction of the European Union’s most populous country after 16 years under Angela Merkel.

Loosened capacity limits are now in effect at certain <a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/tag/ontario" target="_blank">Ontario</a> venues where proof of vaccination is required including arenas, stadiums, concert halls and theatres.
Dr. Kieran Moore, chief medical officer of health, says the change is due to key public health measures stabilizing in recent days.
The province says capacity limits at outdoor events where people stand will increase to up to 75 per cent capacity or 15,000 people, whichever is less.

Indoor cinemas, concert venues, sporting events, banquet halls, convention centres, racing venues, and film studios will have capacity limits of up to 50 per cent or 10,000 people, whichever is less.
That means more fans at Toronto Blue Jays games when they take on the New York Yankees in a crucial three-game set next week as they chase a playoff berth.
More fans will also be allowed at Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs games as the N-H-L&#8217;s pre-season begins soon.

<a href="https://www.flyingeze.com/news/meng-wanzhou-huawei-china-trudeau" target="_blank">Trudeau announced on Friday night</a> that the two men had been released and were on their back having boarded a plane with Canada’s ambassador to China Dominic Barton.
Trudeau made the announcement hours after Huawei CFO <a href="http://globalnews.ca/tag/Meng-Wanzhou" target="_blank">Meng Wanzhou</a> was released from house arrest in Vancouver and allowed to return home to China after securing a deal to drop U.S. charges against her.
As part of the new deferred prosecution agreement, Meng plead not guilty to charges that she committed fraud by misleading the HSBC bank about the company’s business dealings in Iran.

Kovrig, a former diplomat, and businessman Spavor were detained in China days after Meng was arrested at Vancouver’s airport in December 2018 on behalf of the United States.
The two men were convicted on espionage charges in separate trials earlier this year. Spavor was later sentenced to 11 years in prison, while a sentence had yet to be issued for Kovrig.
Canada has repeatedly demanded China release the pair, saying they were arbitrarily detained on bogus charges.

The results of the <a href="https://globalnews.ca/tag/canada-election/">federal election</a> have shown a deepened divide between Canadians living in urban areas who mostly chose Liberal candidates and those living in rural areas who voted for the Conservative party, experts say.
Allan Thompson, the head of Carleton University&#8217;s journalism program, said the results of Monday&#8217;s election have revealed increasing polarization between rural and urban Canadians.

				Thousands of mail ballots still to be counted, including in one tight race in B.C.			</a>
		
	
The division was very clear in Ontario where the Liberals picked up almost all the seats in the urban ridings and the Conservatives flipped some rural ridings and increased their lead in ridings they&#8217;d held before.
&#8220;What worries me is just the polarization, that it seems to be more and more split, more of a division where it&#8217;s virtually automatic what the outcome is going to be,&#8221; Thompson said.
&#8220;I think parties do start to make that part of their strategy. I&#8217;m concerned that they&#8217;re not really even making a serious effort to appeal to voters in the ridings that they have decided are unwinnable, and that&#8217;s just a self-fulfilling prophecy.&#8221;

Before returning to his non-partisan position as a university professor, Thompson led a task force for the Liberals to propose ways to better connect with rural voters. He also ran as a Liberal candidate in Ontario&#8217;s rural riding of Huron-Bruce twice, losing to Conservative MP Ben Lobb by about 3,000 votes in 2015 and by about 9,000 votes in 2019.
On Monday, Lobb was re-elected over the Liberal candidate by a margin of more than 15,000 votes.
Conservative Michelle Ferreri defeated incumbent Liberal gender equality minister Maryam Monsef in the largely rural riding of Peterborough-Kawartha and Conservatives Anna Roberts also defeated Liberal seniors minister Deb Schulte in King_Vaughan on the outskirts of Toronto.

The Conservatives also flipped the riding of Bay of Quinte in Ontario, Miramichi_Grand Lake in New Brunswick, Cumberland_Colchester and South Shore_St. Margarets in Nova Scotia and Coast of Bays-Central-Notre Dame in Newfoundland and Labrador, while maintaining or extending their leads in most of Canada&#8217;s rural ridings.
Meanwhile, the Liberals held onto their strongholds in Canada&#8217;s largest cities, wining 22 out of 24 ridings in the Montreal area and all of Toronto&#8217;s 25 ridings, including Spadina_Fort York where Kevin Vuong emerged victorious even after being disavowed by the Liberal party.
The party dropped Vuong as a candidate two days before election day over the revelation that he&#8217;d been charged in 2019 with sexual assault, a charge that was later withdrawn. His name remained on the ballot, however, and the party now says he&#8217;ll have to sit as an Independent MP.

The Liberals also won nine out of 10 seats in the Ottawa-Gatineau area and flipped three ridings in the Vancouver area. They also won all the ridings in the Halifax area and picked up a riding in each of Calgary and Edmonton.
Thompson said the Liberals and Conservatives have become so entrenched in their respective strongholds that &#8220;you start to wonder are they satisfied with devoting their resources and campaign strategy to those communities where they feel they have the best chance of winning?&#8221;

Carleton University political science professor Jonathan Malloy said the pattern of Liberals winning in urban areas and Conservatives winning in rural areas is not new. It emerged about three decades ago when the Conservative party splintered with the creation of the Reform Party, which later morphed into the Canadian Alliance before reuniting under the Conservative banner.
That drew the Conservatives more towards rural areas while the Liberals became more entrenched in the cities, Malloy said.
&#8220;Toronto used to be quite a Tory center of voting, that&#8217;s like 50, 60 years ago,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;The trends we have today have been growing, accelerating, particularly in Ontario, I would say, for the last 20 or 30 years.&#8221;
Malloy said it&#8217;s hard to determine when this trend started exactly, partly because some communities have grown so much in last few decades.
&#8220;Brampton, (Ont.) used to be a fairly small town, maybe 50 years ago you would maybe call it mainly rural and a small town. Now of course Brampton is the city of about 600,000 people,&#8221; he said.

Malloy said the polices each of the two parties propose during their campaigns play a role in increasing the divide.
For instance, the Liberals&#8217; promise of $10-a-day childcare was more appealing to people living in the cities where the cost of child care is more of a concern than the availability of the service.

				Voters who made up their minds at last minute say they&#8217;re disappointed but hopeful			</a>
		
	
&#8220;It really plays out differently in different areas and for a lot of rural and suburban areas, &#8230; and remote areas, it&#8217;s just about the capacity of supply of government services not the cost,&#8221; Malloy said.
There was also a very clear distinction between the Liberals and the Conservatives on the issue of guns that played out differently between urban and rural populations, he added.
&#8220;No one has a need for a gun in a Canadian city. And so, the Liberals tend to be fairly restrictive on firearms, because most urban people don&#8217;t own firearms, they have no need for firearms and so they&#8217;re happy to support strong restrictions on them.
&#8220;In rural areas, firearms are more practical, whether for hunting or for protecting your farm animals. There&#8217;s practical reasons to have guns in rural areas.&#8221;

Malloy said both the Liberals and Conservatives are aware of these differences and they tend to build their policies to appeal to their bases.
Whether voters view the party leader as a city or a rural person also plays a role in their choice, he believes.
&#8220;Urban voters view Mr. (Andrew) Scheer and Mr. (Erin) O&#8217;Toole as relatively rural even though they are properly kind of urban or suburban,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Mr. (Justin) Trudeau, fair to say, is identified with urban. I don&#8217;t think anyone would disagree with that.&#8221;
While both parties try to attract voters from one another&#8217;s bases, Malloy said they do so only after making a strategic calculation on whether attracting new voters might potentially cost them some of their existing support.
Thompson said the pattern of division between rural and urban Canadians is jeopardizing the effectiveness of democracy in Canada and parties should put more effort into bridging the gap.
&#8220;It&#8217;s as if you live in a particular riding you don&#8217;t get a chance to consider the other point of view, and that&#8217;s not healthy,&#8221; he said.

The division was very clear in Ontario where the Liberals picked up almost all the seats in the urban ridings and the Conservatives flipped some rural ridings.
