Mr. Abramovich is the No. 1 target for sanctions recommended by jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The PM said Mr. Abramovich and four others, who enabled Mr. Navalny’s detention and work to prop up Vladimir Putin’s regime, were hit with an assets freeze and banned from doing business in Canada.

They started wondering how hockey players could help fight climate change. The result emerged in 2015, when they held the first Save Pond Hockey tournament in Helsinki, aiming to make some noise about climate issues.

Jacqueline Suchite Rivas thought she knew what abuse looked like. When her ex-husband hit her, that was abuse. When he pointed a gun at her and threatened her life, that was abuse.

But the name-calling, the jealousy, the isolation? That was just life.

While they were dating, he isolated her from her friends, telling her she only needed him. After they married, he ran up their credit without telling her. When she complained about his cruelty, he would tell her to lighten up.

Coercive control is the term for this form of abuse, and it can be an early indicator of relationships that will escalate into physical violence, and even homicide, according to a growing body of research. But many people don’t recognize it as abuse.

Eighteen months into the pandemic, Patricia Nogueira decided she’d had enough of working at a daycare centre. 🧵

tgam.ca/3i0Cmlo Image
🟣 She was tired of straining to communicate with children through a mask and face shield, worried about the germs her unvaccinated charges might be bringing in, and too exhausted to muster the positive, everything-is-going-to-be-okay attitude she knew parents expected of her.
🟣 While primary and secondary school teachers were being prioritized for vaccinations, daycare employees like her were being ignored. “It felt like I was worth nothing,” she says. Image

Ukraine’s defence minister has accused Russian forces of killing more civilians than soldiers, as new attacks struck a psychiatric facility and western airfields early Friday morning.

tgam.ca/3HZOM7D
Among the targets was a psychiatric residential facility about 80 kilometres from Kharkiv region, leaving the Oskil psychoneurological residential institution “uninhabitable.”

tgam.ca/3HZOM7D
At the time of the attack, 330 people were in the facility.

No injuries were immediately reported, because staff had brought patients into a shelter after an air alert sounded a warning prior to the attack.
