British Columbians brace for more extreme weather, possible flooding on north coast
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-weather-alerts-1.6257938
A "parade of storms" headed for southwest British Columbia could worsen flooding and mudslide conditions within the week, according to the meteorologist responsible for warning preparedness at Environment and Climate Change Canada. Armel Castellan said the first storm system, expected to arrive Thursday, won't bring rains as heavy as those that triggered widespread destruction last week.However, the precipitation will be significant enough to "exacerbate the vulnerabilities on the ground currently," he said.
Our fingers are crossed,' Abbotsford, B.C., mayor says in extending flood state of emergency
Local emergency state extended to Nov. 29 despite progress restoring dike and pump station He said the "monumental" effort to rebuild the dike has reached a point where water from the Sumas River is "no longer flowing" into what was once the Sumas Lake, the former waterway in the area that was drained for farmland a century ago.But the mayor warned the barrier must still be raised a further three metres and widened to be effective against more water flowing in. We need to get this all done before the next weather system," Braun said. "We're going to get 80 to 100 millimetres of water over the next four days. The station ensures the former Sumas Lake, which occupied the now-farmland area, does not reform as it did over the past week. Thousands of livestock are reported to have perished, according to authorities, as farmers and volunteers scrambled to rescue as many animals as possible.The city issued a boil-water advisory for the Sumas Prairie area last Thursday. It remains in effect, but authorities said the rest of the city's water supply is safe to drink.
Volunteers in Abbotsford help with cleanup as receding floodwaters leave behind trail of garbage, debris
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/abbotsford-clean-up-1.6257104
In the days following the catastrophic flooding in the southern part of B.C., including Abbotsford, receding water left behind a trail of garbage and debris in its path. Now, community volunteers are gathering to help with the cleanup.
Dike breach repaired in Abbotsford after B.C.’s record flooding
A major breach in Abbotsford’s Sumas dike was successfully repaired this weekend, stopping the flow of water from the Sumas River into the prairie lake bottom and alleviating some concerns about further destruction following last week’s record flooding in B.C. Combined with the level of the Fraser River falling enough to fully open the floodgates at the city’s Barrowtown water pump station, the eastern portion of the waterlogged Sumas Prairie region saw water levels drop by three inches in six hours on SundayFlood-affected B.C. residents who must go to U.S. for essentials exempt from COVID-19 testing, quarantine
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-floods-update-november-21-1.6257389
Residents in B.C. border communities who are in need of gas and other essential goods will be allowed to cross the border to the U.S. and return without requiring a COVID-19 test or quarantining, whether they are vaccinated or not, a federal update on the flooding in the province was told Sunday. Bill Blair -"This is something that I believe can be accommodated under the exemption regulations that currently exist," Blair said, a week after B.C. was first hit with flooding. "But to be very clear, those exemptions do not apply to non-essential travel. It does apply to people who are required to travel over into the United State in order to access essential goods and services, but it does not include family trips, vacations or other types of tourist activity." Carla Qualtrough, who was among those speaking at the afternoon news conference, said the federal government is waiving the requirement for applicants to show a record of employment, recognizing that it may be difficult for many to obtain the proper documentation under current circumstances."Obviously it could be very difficult in these times to get that piece of particular document,'' she said."We're looking at the reality of pandemic benefits and people having exhausted their EI has impacted their availability of ongoing EI supports.''Qualtrough said people should apply anyway, adding the federal government "will figure this out'' for them one way or another and Ottawa will be there to support British Columbians through this crisis.COVID
COVID-19 vaccine appointments for Ontario children aged 5-11 to open Tuesday
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/covid-19-ontario-nov-22-2021-youth-vaccines-pfizer-1.6257875
Appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations for children aged five to 11 in Ontario will open Tuesday About one million children across Ontario qualify “We should be able to start getting shots into little arms by about Thursday this week," Health Minister Christine Elliott said at a Monday morning news conference. Ontario is expected to receive 1,076,000 doses of the pediatric Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine from the federal government, which will then be immediately distributed to public health units, pharmacies and primary care settings across the province. As of Nov. 19, nearly 85 per cent of youth aged 12 to 17 have received a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and more than 80 per cent have received a second dose, the province says. In a brief email Monday, Ontario Provincial Police also confirmed officers are investigating reports of spam text messages being sent to people who have used the province's booking system for COVID-19 vaccine appointment bookings, or to access proof-of-vaccine certificates.As this investigation is ongoing, it would not be appropriate to comment further at this time," said Bill Dickson, acting manager of media relations with the OPP.At a news conference Monday morning, Solicitor General Sylvia Jones said the province is "thoroughly" investigating any "potential" breaches, and to the best of her knowledge, no one has been scammed out of any money."We have confidence in the booking system right now," she said. Meanwhile, Ontario is reporting 627 additional COVID-19 cases Monday, with 341 cases found in people who are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status, and 286 found in people who have both shots. The seven-day average, which smoothes out peaks and valleys in the data, now stands at 656, which is the highest it has been since Sept. 23. The number of hospitalizations in Ontario rose by 29 to 136 total, though the province cautions that not all hospitals report on weekends, so it is likely an undercounting of the real figure. The number of people in ICU, meanwhile, dropped by two to 133, with 78 people using a ventilator to breathe. Newly reported deaths: One, pushing the official toll to 9,968. (approx 0.07% of ont pop) Tests in the previous 24 hours: 19,552, with a 3.4 per cent positivity rate. (664 cases) Active cases: 5,597. Approx 0.04% of Ont Pop Vaccinations: 6,488 doses were administered by public health units on Sunday. About 85.9 per cent of eligible Ontarians have now had two shots.
A children's COVID-19 vaccine is now approved in Canada. What do we know about it?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-pfizer-vaccination-younger-kids-canada-1.6219545
Children between 5- and 11-years old will get smaller doses than older kids and adults Pfizer-BioNTech was the first company to seek Health Canada's approval for a pediatric COVID-19 vaccine and made its submission on Oct. 18. The pediatric version of the vaccine is for kids age five to 11. Those 12 and older get the already approved adult formulation. The pediatric formulation will be given in smaller doses — 10 mcg (micrograms) instead of the 30 mcg used for people 12 years of age and older. The vials for the pediatric version have orange caps so health-care workers can easily tell the difference between the adult and child versions (the adult vials have purple caps) At a media briefing in October, Dr. Supriya Sharma, Health Canada's chief medical adviser, said the children's version of the vaccine was "slightly different" that the adult one, but that it contained the same mRNA and works the same way. Like the adult version, kids will get two doses of the vaccine. Although the manufacturer's instructions say the two doses are to be given 21 days apart, the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) recommends a longer gap of at least eight weeks. NACI also recommended longer spacing between doses for the adult version of the vaccine. That's because there's evidence that a longer interval between doses generates a more robust immune response.The longer spacing might also help to further decrease the risk of one rare side-effect — myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle — that has appeared occasionally in adolescents and young adults, NACI said.
Doctors say the kids' COVID-19 vaccine is a booster for mental health
https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-19-kids-vaccine-mental-health-1.6256089
Am I going to get sick? Am I going to transmit this to my family members?' are among kids' worries Diana Grimaldos keeps getting the same questions from her kids. "Is the virus gone? Has the virus gone away?"Her seven-year-old daughter, Katalina, has always been an anxious child — but it got much worse during the pandemic. "She worries," said Grimaldos, who lives in Toronto.Katalina's anxiety was especially high during lockdown. Although seeing her parents get their COVID-19 vaccines helped, along with going back to school in person, "she's still very fearful," said her mother. The meteoric rise in mental health issues among children throughout the pandemic is all too familiar for many parents — backed up by study after study and reflected in the practices of health-care providers across Canada. The best medicine for many children, pediatric experts say, is to restore normalcy in their lives, while staying safe from COVID-19 infection. The pandemic's effect on kids extends beyond the threat of COVID-19 making them sick, said Dr. Eddsel Martinez, a pediatrician in Winnipeg and member of the Canadian Paediatric Society's public advisory committee. The public health measures that had to be taken to save lives have led to isolation, economic insecurity and parental stress, which are all "terrible for mental health," he said."We've seen an increase in all sorts of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use and abuse."Children, in general, are resilient, Martinez said. For many, a return to regular activities, including school, birthday parties, sleepovers and visits with grandparents will do wonders. "All those things are extremely important for mental health," he said. "The vaccine is the way that we can get there." When Health Canada and the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) decide whether or not to approve a vaccine, the key questions they must answer are whether the vaccine is safe and effective and whether the benefits outweigh any risks. In the case of COVID-19, mental health has to be part of that discussion, said Dr. Caroline Quach-Thanh, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist and medical microbiologist at Chu Ste. Justine in Montreal. "What you have to look at is the burden of illness. And the burden of illness includes not only the medical complications but also all the cross-collateral damages that occur," said Quach-Thanh, who is also a former chair of NACI. The recommendations released by NACI on Friday concluded that Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine was not only safe and effective in protecting children from illness, but also said that children are "at risk of collateral harms of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged schooling disruptions, social isolation, and reduced access to academic and extra-curricular resources have had profound impact on the mental and physical well-being of children and their families."
Parliament returns today with a familiar seat map but a new set of challenges
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/parliament-returns-today-new-challenges-1.6255878
opposition parties are squabbling over vaccine mandates, hybrid model for the House of Commons The House of Commons will reconvene today after a hiatus of nearly five months — a period punctuated by an election campaign that returned a seat map that looks very much like the one from the last session of Parliament. The first order of business today is electing a Speaker to preside over the chamber's proceedings. Government House Leader Mark Holland told CBC News that after that vote, the next priorities are reconstituting the hybrid model that allows MPs to dial in from outside Ottawa and enforcing a new vaccine mandate for parliamentarians. The vaccine mandate is contentious already. After weeks of non-answers and threats of a challenge to the new vaccination rules, Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole confirmed to Radio-Canada over the weekend that all Conservative MPs are now either vaccinated or have secured a medical exemption to the requirement.O'Toole refused to say just how many of his caucus colleagues have been able to bypass the vaccine mandate by claiming an exemption. According to the Board of Internal Economy (BOIE), the committee of MPs that essentially governs the House, an MP can be exempted if they have proof of "a medical contraindication to full vaccination.""All of our MPs will be there," O'Toole said in French. "For me, it is not appropriate to speak about the specific health issues of another MP." Holland is also insisting on a hybrid Parliament where some MPs are physically present in the Commons while others speak and vote remotely. When the House was dissolved before the September election, the last hybrid agreement ended. Holland wants the dual format to continue until at least June 2022."It's absolutely imperative we continue with this and the flexibility it provides," he said. "I don't want to be coming back in March re-litigating all of this, wasting precious House time." He said it would be unconscionable for the Conservatives to endorse a plan that allows all MPs to fly in and congregate in a relatively confined space, sometimes for hours on end."It's fine for a local restaurant. But imagine a restaurant where you have patrons coming from every corner of the country," he said. "It's a very different circumstance and it's just logical that we follow the good advice of public health."O'Toole has balked at restoring the hybrid model, calling it a cynical attempt by the government to duck accountability and undermine the work of the opposition parties.

Wet'suwet'en camp leader, journalists arrested as RCMP enforce pipeline injunction in northern B.C.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/15-arrests-journalists-wetsuweten-cgl-1.6256696
29 totall have been arrested over 2 days of police action Fifteen people, including a key leader in the fight against the Coastal GasLink pipeline as well as two journalists, were arrested Friday as police action continued against opponents of the project being built west of Prince George, B.C. RCMP broke down the door at a resistance camp, known as Coyote camp, that has occupied a key work site for Coastal GasLink since Sept. 25, and arrested multiple occupants — including two who police say identified themselves as journalists. Police said upon arrival at the camp Friday, they read a copy of a B.C. Supreme Court injunction notice allowing pipeline construction to move forward and warned those inside to leave multiple times, before forcibly entering and making arrests. The Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) said those arrested Friday also included photojournalist Amber Bracken, who was on assignment for news outlet The Narwhal, and documentary filmmaker Michael Toledano. On Nov. 18, 14 people were arrested as RCMP dismantled blockades along the Morice River Forest Service Road that lead to two work camps.The blockades stranded about 500 Coastal GasLink employees, causing water rations and fears over food shortages, after the company declined to comply with an eviction notice issued by the Gidimt'en Checkpoint, which controls access to part of the Wet'suwet'en territory. Coastal GasLink has signed deals with 20 First Nation elected band councils along the pipeline route, including from Wet'suwet'en territory, but has not won approval of the majority of hereditary chiefs. The elected council of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation issued a statement Wednesday condemning the ongoing pipeline resistance.a day later, the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs released a statement in solidarity with the Gidimt'en members of the Wet'suwet'en Nation. In an online statement issued by the Office of the Wet'suwet'en on Friday, the hereditary chiefs of the clans of the Wet'suwet'en condemned the police raids. "We have not nor will ever support the CGL pipeline... we declare that RCMP are not welcome on out territories," the statement signed by 12 hereditary chiefs representing five Wet'suwet'en clans read.
Quebec's Roxham Road reopens to asylum seekers after pandemic ban
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/roxham-road-reopen-1.6257868
Crossings were banned in March 2020, citing pandemic concerns The federal government lifted its ban on unauthorized border crossings Sunday, citing the improving public health situation and the reopening of the land border with the United States. (Charles Krupa/The Associated Press) Now, those crossing at unofficial crossings will once again be allowed to enter the country to claim asylum and remain in Canada. he said she didn't expect large numbers of asylum seekers to cross using Roxham Road, in part because they don't necessarily need to do so at the land border. [Crossing] through Roxham Road is for the asylum seekers who are waiting in the United States and would like to come here," she said. "Otherwise, they arrive by plane."Those who arrive by air can also make an asylum claim once they arrive on Canadian soil. "There were people who had been in the U.S. for some time who didn't feel safe anymore," she said. "Of course, the political context is quite different now, which means that we don't expect near the same numbers." Both Villefranche and Dench say the government should still repeal the Safe Third Country Agreement, saying it forces asylum seekers to use irregular crossings like Roxham Road.Under that treaty, a refugee claimant must make a claim in the first "safe country" they arrive in. That means asylum seekers who come into Canada from the U.S. are turned away at official ports of entry.Dench said that if Canada withdrew from the Safe Third Country Agreement, then claimants wouldn't need to use illegal crossings like Roxham Road.
30 Ontario inspectors laid off despite Doug Ford promise no one will lose jobs
Ministry of Labour taking over College of Trades enforcement duties, but not hiring existing staff More than 30 inspectors who enforce credentials in the skilled trades have received layoff notices as a result of a decision by Premier Doug Ford's government The layoff notices went out last week to inspectors in the compliance and enforcement section of the Ontario College of Trades (OCOT), the agency that licenses tradespeople such as electricians, plumbers, auto mechanics and hairstylists. The Ford government is dissolving the agency, but all its duties continue. Its inspection role is being shifted to the Ministry of Labour and its work related to apprenticeships goes to a new body called Skilled Trades Ontario. Despite the continuation of their duties — and even though most OCOT managers and staff get to stay on the provincial payroll with Skilled Trades Ontario — the 30-plus inspectors face being out of work come February."Doug Ford said no one would lose their jobs," said Terry Dorgan, an inspector who has been in the job since 2013.
