We've talked about the UAW President Shawn Fain - when he goes from being very against Trump and now is FOR tariffs - do you see his POV? He wants American cars made in America. Don't we want Canadian things made in Canada also? 3. Mark Carney - a lot of people noted he avoided media during the Leadership run….he still is. Does this change? I think this is rather unique - and isn't just about a frontrunner campaign. What do you say? 4.

President Joe Biden strode into the White House four years ago with a foreign policy agenda that put repairing alliances strained by four years of Republican Donald Trump's “America First” worldview front and center. The one-term Democrat took office in the throes of the worst global pandemic in a century and his plans were quickly stress-tested by a series of complicated international crises: the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and Hamas' brutal 2023 attack on Israel that triggered the ongoing war in the Middle East. HAITI  Turning to Haiti. Yesterday – January 12th – marked 15 years since the devastating earthquake claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.  The Secretary-General remembers the victims of the earthquake and continues to honour their legacy through the United Nations' work in the country. He also paid tribute to the 102 colleagues, our own colleagues, who died on that day, including the head of the Mission at the time, Mr. Hédi Annabi, and one of our dear colleagues who used to work on the documents counter, Alexandra Duguay, who is remembered by her bright smile and efficient work. An estimated three million people as you know, were impacted by the earthquake, which led to severe humanitarian, protection, health, displacement, and infrastructural challenges for Haiti, some of which are still present today.  Yesterday, in Haiti, the United Nations held a ceremony in Port-au-Prince to honour the victims of the earthquake and our colleagues. In a statement, the head of the UN political office in Haiti, Maria Isabel Salvador, expressed her solidarity with all those whose lives continue to be impacted by this tragedy. She also saluted the determination and resilience of the Haitian people, who responded with courage in the aftermath of the earthquake, and she also, of course, reaffirmed the UN's commitment to continue working alongside the Haitian authorities and people to build a better future for the country. UKRAINE  The Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Tom Fletcher, is in Ukraine this week to meet with people impacted by the hostilities, to discuss how we can further cooperate with Ukrainian authorities, and engage with our humanitarian partners on the ground.  Yesterday, in Zaporizhzhia, Mr. Fletcher held talks with authorities. He visited the site where last month a missile hit a medical clinic, totally destroying the facility and causing civilian casualties. He also visited an underground school, built in just 6 months, which will educate 1,000 children every day.   Also yesterday, Mr. Fletcher was in Dnipro, where he visited a collective site for displaced people. Today, he travelled to the frontline area of the Donetsk region, where he commended the work of local first responders and NGOs. Mr. Fletcher saw how communities remaining in the area are supported by aid organizations and how evacuees receive assistance at a transit centre in the city of Pavlohrad, which is in Dnipro.   Tomorrow, Mr. Fletcher will visit Kharkiv, and on Thursday, he and the head of UNHCR, Filippo Grandi, will launch this year's humanitarian and refugee response plans for Ukraine and the region. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Grandi will jointly speak to the press from Kyiv just before the plan is launched. In Ottawa, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health Yasir Naqvi announces an investment of $1.3 million to Operation Come Home for a program that supports homeless youth who are at risk of harms from substance use. He is joined by John Heckbert (executive director) and Katie Price (coordinator) of Operation Come Home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

 Good day ladies and gentlemen, this is IRC news, I am Joy Stephen, a certified Canadian Immigration practitioner, and I bring to you this Provincial News Bulletin from the province of Alberta. This recording originates from the Polinsys studios in Cambridge, Ontario.  Alberta's government is working to improve health outcomes for Albertans to ensure everyone can access the health care they need, when and where they need it. This is being done by refocusing the entire health system. Work has been underway since fall 2023.From the beginning of the process, consultation with Alberta's health care workers has been vital. Alberta's government has been clear that throughout the refocusing process, and as the system changes, health care workers must be empowered in their roles. To help with this work, the Premier has named Chelsae Petrovic, who has more than 13 years' experience as a licensed practical nurse and is the MLA for Livingstone-Macleod, as the Parliamentary Secretary for Health Workforce Engagement.Alberta's health care workers perform critical, life-saving work every day and are the heart of the province's health care system. As professionals on the front lines, they have insights and expertise that are critical to government's health refocusing work. Significant engagement across the province has been held over the past three months and is scheduled to continue, making the new parliamentary secretary role critically important."I look forward to collaborating with Chelsae in the weeks and months to come. With her health care background, she will bring a very important perspective to our refocusing work. The voice of every health care worker is critical to understanding what is actually happening on the front lines and what needs improving. Chelsae will help us incorporate those voices to strengthen the health system for all Albertans." Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Health, AlbertaThis development holds particular relevance for healthcare professionals contemplating immigration to Alberta, as it offers valuable insight into the prevailing opportunities within the their sector. Armed with this information, healthcare professionals can better tailor their immigration strategies to align with the demands and requirements of the Alberta Provincial landscape.   You can always access past news from the Province of Alberta by visiting this link: https://myar.me/tag/ab/.Furthermore, if you are interested in gaining comprehensive insights into the Provincial Express Entry Federal pool Canadian Permanent Residence Program or other Canadian Federal or Provincial Immigration programs, or if you require guidance after your selection, we cordially invite you to connect with us through https://myar.me/c.We highly recommend participating in our complimentary Zoom resource meetings, which take place every Thursday.
