WINNIPEG, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday said a clear plan of action was needed before any mission to help Haiti goes forward, a day after his government sent a delegation to assess the humanitarian and security crisis in the Caribbean nation. "I'm so pleased that there is such an interest by the Caribbean countries to be part of any solution," Trudeau told reporters in Winnipeg. "But, of course, before we establish any sort of mission, we need to see a clear plan of action." When asked, neither Trudeau nor his defense minister, who was also at the news conference, responded as to whether Canada would be willing to deploy its armed forces as security in a Haiti mission.

Some, like fossil fuel-burning Saskatchewan and Alberta, say the federal government's plan for a 2035 net-zero grid is unrealistic. The challenges Canada faces underline how difficult meeting net-zero electrification goals will be globally. Reuters GraphicsUnlike Canada, the United States has a federal electricity regulator and mostly delivers power through regionally integrated systems, which may make it more nimble to transform the grid. Provinces regulate Canada's electricity utilities, but the federal government has some jurisdiction over the environment. The Alberta Electric System Operator in June estimated it would cost an additional C$44 billion to C$52 billion ($38.18 billion) to meet Ottawa's 2035 net-zero mandate.

OTTAWA, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Canada's Liberal-led government will keep its powder dry when it unveils a fiscal update next month, and though it could contain additional targeted spending, it will not make the central bank's job harder, two senior government sources told Reuters this week. "The FES will not make the Bank of Canada's job of fighting inflation harder," said one source. "It behooves the federal government to continue to demonstrate some responsible fiscal stewardship right now," said a first source familiar with the draft document. Neither source would elaborate on where any "targeted" spending might go. The government's limited spending plans will be a relief to investors, as it would further aid the Bank of Canada's efforts to fight inflation.

A farmer spreads nitrogen fertilizer in his wheat field in Blecourt, France, May 27, 2021. Russia, under financial sanctions, is a major producer of fertilizer and natural gas, key in making nitrogen products to boost yields of corn and other crops. Since Russia's February invasion of Ukraine, Europe started weaning itself off Russian natural gas and a pipeline transporting ammonia from Russia to a Ukraine port shut down. European countries typically buy most of their imported urea, a form of nitrogen fertilizer, from North Africa, but are now purchasing it further afield, Wallace said. EU nitrogen prices eased in mid-October as some European plants resumed production due to softening natural gas prices, he said.

A tanker truck used to haul oil products operates at an oil facility near Brooks, Alberta, Canada April 18, 2018. Oil and gas is Canada's highest-polluting sector, but also contributes around 7.5% annually to national GDP and is a major employer in Alberta. The province has already "invested or committed" C$1.8 billion ($1.3 billion) to develop CCS, Puddifant said. Over the last decade, the Alberta government has invested in infrastructure including the Quest carbon capture project, operated by Shell (SHEL.L) and the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line. In March, Alberta picked six proposals to move forward on developing a carbon storage hub near Edmonton.

Statuile reginelor Victoria și Elisabeta a II-a au fost răsturnate, profanate și deteriorate de o mulțime violentă în timpul protestelor din Canada, chiar de ziua națională a ţării. Furia manifestanţilor a fost declanșată de descoperirea a 1000 de morminte nemarcate ale unor copii indigeni în ultimele săptămâni. Atât regina Victoria, cât şi regina Elisabeta a II-a, sunt văzute drept figuri reprezentative în istoria colonială a ţării. Copiilor nu li s-a permis să vorbească limba lor sau să își practice cultura și mulți au fost maltratați și abuzați. Se estimează că au murit până la 6000 de copii, iar rămășițele a 1000 dintre victime au fost găsite recent în gropi comune.

Un grup de persoane a scandat "nicio mândrie în genocid" înainte de a dărâma statuile suveranelor. Acţiunea a avut loc joi, de Ziua Canadei, în mod tradiţional o zi de sărbătoare în toată ţara. Premierul canadian Justin Trudeau a declarat că această zi ar trebui să fie "un moment de reflecţie". Aproape 1.000 de morminte nemarcate au fost descoperite lângă foste şcoli rezidenţiale pentru copii indigeni din Columbia Britanică şi Saskatchewan, care au fost conduse în principal de Biserica Catolică şi finanţate de guvern.

Misterioasa structură metalică a fost deja observată şi apoi a dispărut în alte regiuni canadiene în cursul lunii decembrie, în oraşele Vancouver şi Winnipeg. La Toronto, mai multe persoane s-au grăbit să fotografieze straniul obiect şi au distribuit pozele pe reţelele de socializare. Într-una dintre aceste fotografii monolitul apare vandalizat cu graffitiuri făcute cu vopsea roşie. Primul obiect de acest fel a fost observat în luna noiembrie în deşertul Utah de către echipajul unui elicopter. Speculaţiile din domeniul SF au fost infirmate mai târziu după ce s-a aflat că structura a fost demontată de patru bărbaţi care au dus-o apoi spre o destinaţie necunoscută.
