BREAKING: Liberals reach deal with NDP to stay in power until 2025
tgam.ca/3uAyDRF

The deal, which is tentative and still requires the approval of the NDP caucus, does not give the New Democrats any cabinet seats, according to sources.

The government is also expected to forge ahead with NDP-supported plans to impose a special tax on Canadian banks and financial institutions.

A notorious spy case that resulted in the death of a former ambassador to Russia after weeks of intense questioning by two RCMP members has a new and unexpected main character: Lester Pearson.

The ambassador was John Watkins, whose posting to Moscow in the 1950s included unusually close relations with the Kremlin. The Mounties had reason to suspect he had been in the pocket of the KGB, the Soviet Union’s spy agency.

When Watkins died of a heart attack during interrogation in 1964, the incident was covered up, the details hidden from public view for years. But now an untapped trove of intelligence material exposes an even deeper secret.

Calgary Imam Syed Soharwardy has long considered the police response to hate crimes a “black hole.” He and his congregation still report when they are threatened, but they have given up much hope for justice.
tgam.ca/3udr6YM
Soharwardy himself reported a hate crime in 2014 after a woman in a sedan screamed at him to “Get out of my country,” and then accelerated toward him. He jumped onto the curb to avoid getting hit by her car.
tgam.ca/3udr6YM
Soharwardy called the police but didn't learn much more about the suspect until two months later. They told him the woman was using drugs and battling mental health problems. They couldn’t do anything more than warn her against making similar attacks

Last week, the ICJ, the world's highest court, ordered Russia to immediately stop its war in Ukraine. Despite this ruling, Putin is still waging war.

So what does this decision actually mean? Will it change anything?

pod.link/thedecibel/epi…
Today on #TheDecibel: Harold Hongju Koh, one of the lawyers representing Ukraine in the case against Russia, explains the the arguments they brought forward, Russia’s response (or lack thereof), and makes the case for international law.
pod.link/thedecibel/epi…
Last week, the International Court of Justice ordered Russia to end the war. Were you surprised by that decision?

🔊 Koh: “We got a 13-2 ruling on key provisions; and 15-0 on an order not to aggravate the dispute. That's what we were hoping for.”

In Fiona Medley’s classroom, the students aren’t just reading a poem, they also create body percussion in the form of a stomp, a clap or a snap as they play with the words.

They act out scenes in a story. And it’s not unusual to hear chants or music coming from her corner of the school.

Ms. Medley, an elementary school teacher, guides her students in what she believes will help improve learning and socialization after two years of COVID-19 disruptions.

She lets her students play.

At the start of 2022, Ukrainian car-sharing service Getmancar was only available in Kyiv. But once the Russian invasion began, owner Taras Getmansky allowed his fleet to go across the country, giving people the opportunity to get to the border. tgam.ca/3N8Aohf
Getmansky also slashed the price of daily rentals, from $40 to $120 to a nominal one hryvna – roughly 4.5 cents. As Russian troops occupy the main road out, access to a car to go on alternative routes has been crucially helpful for people in the capital.

With face masks coming off in more public places like schools in Canada, people are encountering the next stage of COVID-19: what to do when the rules are taken away. Some small businesses are choosing to keep them in place for the time being.
tgam.ca/3wjyB2W
In most places in Canada, mask mandates (as well as vaccine passport requirements) have been lifted. Here’s a glance at the country:
tgam.ca/3u8aaCE
But it’s one thing for the authorities to say it, and another to get used to it after two years. “The only thing more anxiety-making than learning to wear a mask in public is learning when to take one off,” writes @lizrenzetti. tgam.ca/3uiRG2m
