Safe..

 

Canada's Supreme Court has heard for the first time a Canada-US asylum pact case that will weigh whether the country can consider its southern neighbour "safe" for those seeking refugee status.

The outcome could determine whether Canada can trust that the US treats migrants properly, and could answer whether Canada holds any responsibility for migrants turned back at its border.

At the heart of the matter is the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) - a pact between the two countries in place since 2004 that requires refugee claimants to request protection in the first "safe" country they reach.

Campaigners in Canada have long argued that the STCA should be struck down on the grounds that migrants are at risk of mistreatment in the US and that the agreement violates their constitutional rights.

Emergency..

 

An NYPD cruiser plowed into a Bronx corner full of pedestrians while driving on the wrong side of the road during an emergency call, leaving ten people injured, including two children, police said.

As the other vehicle attempted to turn, the patrol car clipped it, swerved out of the way and then jumped the curb on the corner, striking numerous people, police said. 

The roads been cut in half for a bicycle lane and a bus lane. One bicycle runs every 20 minutes, and one bus every thirty minutes. They all end up running in half the road due to parked cars temporarily. No place for emergency vehicle to run any where.

The street needs to be reopened. Just a thought.

Disaster..

 

Pile..

 

American officials are intensifying efforts to build a giant stockpile of weapons in Taiwan after studying recent naval and air force exercises by the Chinese military around the island, according to current and former officials.

The exercises showed that China would probably blockade the island as a prelude to any attempted invasion, and Taiwan would have to hold out on its own until the United States or other nations intervened, if they decided to do that, the current and former officials say.

 The United States and its allies have prioritized sending weapons to Ukraine, which is reducing those countries' stockpiles, and arms makers are reluctant to open new production lines without a steady stream of long-term orders. And it is unclear how China might respond if the United States accelerates shipments of weapons to Taiwan, a democratic, self-governing island that Beijing claims is Chinese territory.

Bottom Up..

 

Biden “I Guarantee You We're Going To End Fossil Fuels” - 

President Biden's Administration didn't mention any thing about food shortage, Inflation, Retirement plans, Economy, Interest rate, and promise to encourage war everywhere, Defending Democracy as we exercised it in Afghanistan. 

Just a thought.

Up-Down..

 

The White House condemned the OPEC+ decision and said in a joint statement released  that Biden was "disappointed by the shortsighted decision by OPEC+ to cut oil production by 2 million barrel a day.

Biden “I Guarantee You We're Going To End Fossil Fuels” - 

Oil prices began an upward trend during Biden's first days in office, after he used executive orders to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and paused oil and gas leases on federal lands.

The problem here is the November election next month.

 The Biden's administration has been all over the map when it comes to oil. Want to end it, then want more of it. Want to save the Earth today, but wants the power of cheap gas. Wants more to sell to Europe, and wants less from the Russians, Wants to ride popularity contest with Climate Change, Green world, but eying the Election in November.  We want Power, not Policy.  Just a thought.
