Blinken met with Jaishankar at the State Department on Thursday afternoon. A State Department spokesperson said that in the meeting Blinken had urged India to cooperate "fully" with the ongoing Canadian investigation. Ties between Indian and Canada have become seriously strained after Trudeau told parliament this month that Canada suspected Indian government agents were linked to the murder. Jaishankar said on Tuesday New Delhi had told Canada it was open to looking into any "specific" or "relevant" information it provides on the killing. The U.S. ambassador to Canada told Canadian television that some information on the case had been gathered by the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which groups the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and India's External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar say a few words to the media as they meet at the State Department in Washington, U.S., September 28, 2023. REUTERS/Leah Millis Acquire Licensing RightsNEW DELHI, Sept 29 (Reuters) - India's foreign minister on Friday said he spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan about Canadian allegations on New Delhi's possible involvement in the June killing of a Sikh separatist leader in Canada. Ties between the two countries have been strained after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told parliament earlier this month that Canada suspected Indian government agents were linked to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India has dismissed Canada's allegations as absurd and both countries have expelled a diplomat in a tit-for-tat move. A U.S. official confirmed that Blinken spoke to India's Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Thursday and urged India to cooperate with the Canadian investigation, but a U.S. State Department statement made no mention of the issue.

"It would be important that India work with the Canadians on this investigation.

NEW YORK, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday called on India to cooperate with an investigation into the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia and said Canada would not release its evidence. Trudeau said on Monday that Ottawa had credible allegations linking Indian government agents to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June, prompting an angry reaction from New Delhi. Analysts says this is partly because the United States and other major players see India as a counterweight to the growing influence of China. The Indian foreign ministry said Canada had not shared any specific information about the murder. India on Thursday suspended new visas for Canadians and asked Ottawa to reduce its diplomatic presence in the country.

The two autocratic leaders said their partnership would help bring about a new world order led by China and Russia. Biden and Trudeau are seeking to show the strength of their bond and those of democratic nations.

☆ Analysis: Trump lesson on U.S. protectionism guides Canadian foreign policy

OTTAWA, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government learned a lesson when former U.S. President Donald Trump forced the renegotiation of the North American trade pact five years ago: never underestimate U.S. protectionism. The next U.S. presidential election is less than two years away and Trump last week said he would run again, suggesting the "America first" trade policy could again be on the ballot. Even without Trump, the United States has shown signs of becoming increasingly leery of free trade in recent years. When America goes America first, they forget Canada's right next door," said a senior source familiar with the Canadian government's thinking on foreign policy. "I don't want to undermine the Indo-Pacific strategy by saying it's entirely about the United States, because it's not, but having a strong Indo-Pacific strategy is also important in our bilateral relationship with the United States," the senior source said.

Abd El-Fattah was found guilty of spreading false information for sharing a Facebook post, a charge frequently used against activists and those of suspected of dissent. Abd El-Fattah has been on a hunger strike for more than 200 days and on Sunday stopped drinking water. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Wednesday said that he had raised the case of Abd El-Fattah while attending COP27. In January, Egyptian-Palestinian activist Ramy Shaath was freed following more than 900 days in detention after he renounced his Egyptian nationality. The only explanation his supporters have, Bahgat said, is that Abd El-Fattah was “one of the most prominent and influential voices” of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings.

Many are now investing in green bonds and other financial instruments to drive change. Green bonds are one way companies are using new financial offerings to drive change. Also called sustainability bonds, they work like regular bonds in many ways and allow companies to raise money for capital projects. Each project it selects aims to support "low-carbon design and engineering, renewable energy, energy efficiency, carbon mitigation, and sequestration," the company said. "People are going to have to start demonstrating what they're doing inside these green bonds," Grainger said.

Soţia lui, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, a contractat COVID-19 în martie 2020, obligându-l pe premierul canadian să intre în carantină la reşedinţa sa din Ottawa. Dar vineri după-amiază, comitetul ştiinţific care consiliază Ministerul canadian al Sănătăţii i-a recomandat acestuia din urmă să reducă acest prag de vârstă la peste 30 de ani.

Mult timp cercetătorii s-au întrebat cum a fost posibil una ca asta? Lupii au mâncat carne proaspătăStudiul s-a bazat pe oasele și dinții a 48 de lupi. În cazul prădătorilor, precum lupii, izotopii se obțin atunci când prădătorul mănâncă erbivorul care a mâncat plante. Analiza a arătat că aproximativ 50 la sută din dieta lor a fost constituită dintr-o specie dispărută de cal pleistocen (Equus sp.).

„Sistemul nostru de îngrijire a sănătăţii este un simbol al identităţii noastre naţionale şi intenţionăm să îl protejăm”, a declarat Patty Hajdu, ministrul Sănătăţii din Canada, care a anunţat adoptarea vineri a unui decret în acest sens. Canada este o piaţă mică, ce reprezintă 2% din vânzările mondiale de medicamente, comparativ cu 44% cât reprezintă SUA. Din 2017, pentru aproape jumătate (44%) din medicamentele vândute în Canada s-a înregistrat o penurie "cel puţin o dată", a indicat Santé Canada. Pandemia de COVID-19 a crescut cererea pentru unele medicamente în Canada, făcând în continuare mai dificilă aprovizionarea cu medicamente conform necesităţilor. Cu toate acestea, preţurile din Canada sunt mai mari decât în marea majoritate a celorlalte ţări industrializate.

Această măsură „a primit un sprijin semnificativ din partea SUA, iar orice adoptare de către industrie ar exacerba problema actuală a penuriei de medicamente în Canada", se menţionează în comunicat. „Sistemul nostru de îngrijire a sănătăţii este un simbol al identităţii noastre naţionale şi intenţionăm să îl protejăm", a declarat Patty Hajdu, ministrul sănătăţii din Canada, care a anunţat adoptarea vineri a unui decret în acest sens.
