Kennedy Jr. A council representing Montreal and the suburban municipalities on the island will vote Thursday evening on whether to stop the practice in the six West Island suburbs that treat their water with fluoride. The Montreal agglomeration council says it began to study the issue after receiving a petition in 2020 from resident Ray Coelho, who says he has spoken to Kennedy on a few occasions. Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic who has been tapped by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to be his health secretary, claims that fluoride is an “industrial waste” linked to a range of health problems, and has said the Trump administration will remove fluoride from the U.S. public water supply. Heidi Ektvedt, mayor of one of the affected communities, says the city only told her about its plan in September, four years after receiving the petition, and she says residents haven’t been consulted. The Montreal water department says its recommendation to stop putting fluoride in the water is based on technical and economic factors, though it notes that public health officials are in favour of fluoridation as an effective way to reduce tooth decay.
There Are Certain Words That Will Break ChatGPT. I Tried Them — Here's What Happened.UL wide receiver Jacob Bernard catches a 25-yard pass for a first down during the first half of the Cajuns' blowout loss to TCU in the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday. Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save ALBUQUERQUE The UL Ragin’ Cajuns enjoyed a really good regular season as Sun Belt West champions. The postseason couldn’t have gone any worse. After falling to Marshall by 28 points in the Sun Belt championship game, coach Michael Desormeaux’s club suffered another blowout loss with a 34-3 decision to the TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday in the New Mexico Bowl. It was the second straight game for UL without a touchdown. The Cajuns’ second ended at 10-4, while TCU improved to 9-4. UL quarterback Ben Wooldridge started the game, but wasn’t effective five weeks after suffering a broken collar bone. He was 7-of-20 passing for 61 yards with an interception. On the other side, TCU quarterback Josh Hoover was 20-of-31 passing for 252 yards with a season-high four touchdowns and one interception. The Cajuns’ offense had just 10 first downs and 148 total yards before its final drive and finished with 13 first downs and 209 total yards. TCU collected 19 first downs and 367 total yards. The nightmare game began from the game’s first drive and never really ended. The Frogs drove 75 yards on 11 plays in 4:49 to get the blowout started. A 3-yard TD pass to DJ Rogers did the trick for the 7-0 lead. TCU’s second scoring drive covered 63 yards on 10 plays, but UL’s defense actually stuffed TCU three times from the 3 and had Hoover on the run on fourth down. But the quarterback somehow found Eric McAlister in the back of the end zone for a nifty 1-yard TD toss and 14-0 lead with 2:23 left in the first quarter. An Antoine Baylis sack forced TCU to settle for a 45-yard field goal from Kyle Lemmerman and 17-0 cushion with 11:06 remaining in second quarter. And during this scoring onslaught by TCU, UL’s offense continued to struggle. After TCU’s first field goal, the Frogs had run 30 offensive plays to just nine for the Cajuns. Early on, the Cajuns’ offense stopped itself with a drop and squandering a third-and-2 situation at the TCU 37. After that, it was too many penalties and just zero execution in the passing game. By the end of the half, TCU had 14 first downs to three and 262 total yards to 68. After a 22-yard field goal, JP Richardson scored on a 20-yard TD catch with 14 seconds left for a 27-0 halftime lead. .HALIFAX — An influential United States Republican senator delivered some blunt criticism of Canada's military spending on Friday, telling a major security conference in Halifax the federal government has to do better to please president-elect Donald Trump. In a panel discussion on the first day of the Halifax International Security Forum, Republican Sen. James Risch — who may become the next chair of the U.S. Senate's foreign relations committee — said he wasn't speaking for the incoming president. But he reminded delegates that Canada is failing to reach military spending levels equivalent to two per cent of its GDP — a commitment of the 32 NATO countries — leaving Canada one of a minority of alliance members no longer meeting the target. "My good friends in Canada say, 'We're working on this.' And we say, 'What does that mean?' And they say, 'We're kind of looking at (meeting the spending goal) by 2032,'" the Idaho senator said. "I don't speak for the president-elect of the United States, but if he were in this room, you would get a very large guffaw from him ... talking about 2032. It's got to be better than that. It really, truly has to be better than that." About 300 policy analysts, politicians and defence officials from 60 countries are participating in the 16th annual forum, which runs until Sunday. The gathering comes just under three weeks after the U.S. election that returned Trump to power with Republican majorities in the U.S. Senate and Congress. Earlier in the day at the conference, Defence Minister Bill Blair said his government knows it needs to increase defence spending, both to help Ukraine in its war with Russia, and to protect Canadian territory. But, Blair said, he has to ensure Canada gets "good value" for its investments. “When our allies say they want us to meet the commitment, I've told them the answer is ‘Yes,’ and I’ve told them you’re pushing on an open door," he said. "We are going to make those investments." Some of the American criticism is unfair, Blair said, as the Liberal government committed during a July NATO summit to "a credible and realistic plan" of spending two per cent of GDP on its military by 2032, as it buys a fleet of up to 12 new submarines. He said there are examples in which Canada can "accelerate" its spending by making purchases that mesh with its allies, citing Ottawa's announcement it would replace CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft with the Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The defence minister also announced that a surface-to-air defence system Canada bought two years ago has arrived in Ukraine to help protect the country against Russian missiles, though he would have liked the aid to have reached the war theatre sooner. “There's a lot in some of our procurement processes that have really slowed us down," he said. NATO's 32-member nations agreed to each spend the equivalent of at least two per cent of their GDP on defence, but Canada is among the nine members that aren't going to do that this year. The alliance's figures project that Canada will spend the equivalent of 1.37 per cent of its GDP on defence, placing it at the back of the pack. The Defence Department projects the figure to tick upward over the coming years, rising to 1.76 per cent by 2030. However, the Liberal government is also facing domestic criticism for not being clear on how it will make military spending one of its top priorities. Retired Lt.-Gen. Andrew Leslie — a former Liberal MP — told the House of Commons defence committee two days after the U.S. election that he detects "no sense of urgency" from the government to meet those commitments. Nicolas Todd, who is attending the security forum as vice-president of government relations with the Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries, said in an interview Friday that if the Liberal government wants to advance more rapidly on military spending, it needs to clearly signal its spending plans. "What we've seen so far is an expectation to hit two per cent. That's not a plan. We need a detailed, year-over-year money plan on what it will take," he said. He contrasted the government's announcement Thursday — a pause of the federal sales tax on a long list of items, at a cost of $6.3 billion — with a slow growth in military spending. Peter Van Praagh, president of the forum, said during the opening news conference that a path to world peace still depends on Ukraine defeating Russia, which will require continued support from the United States and its allies. “If Russia gets away with this naked aggression, we are entering a world where might makes right. That’s a world that is not safe for anybody,” he said. While military spending will be key to assisting Ukraine, Admiral Rob Bauer, chair of the military committee of NATO, told the conference in a separate panel that procurement remains a major issue. The Dutch military officer said, "there isn't yet enough focus when it comes to defence production," as Russia has put its economy on a war footing. Bauer said that more than 1,000 days into the war in Ukraine, he's hearing from military chiefs of staff in the NATO alliance they have funds available to buy ammunition and armaments, but the defence industry can't deliver the munitions in a timely way. "We cannot support Ukraine at the pace that is necessary," he said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 22, 2024. — With files from The Associated Press.

(AP) — Mariah Keopple and Alexandra Labelle scored their first goals of the season and the Montreal Victoire edged the Minnesota Frost 3-2 on Saturday. Marie-Philip Poulin’s goal almost six minutes into the second period was the difference as she converted a 2-on-1 from Laura Stacey and Jennifer Gardiner and Montreal (2-2-0-1), which went 0 for 3 on the power play, won its third straight while handing Minnesota (3-1-1-1) its first regulation loss of the season. Despite having the better control of the action from the start Montreal fell behind 1-0 near the middle of the first period when Claire Thompson and Taylor Heise set up Britta Curl-Salemme for her third goal of the season. But in the last five minutes of the period Keopple scored on a pass from Claire Dalton, and Labelle banged in a rebound of her initial shot. Minnesota pulled into a tie at just 3:17 into the second period when Brooke McQuigge picked up her first goal during a scramble in front of the Montreal goal. Barely 2 1/2 minutes later the Victoire were back on top on Poulin’s second goal of the season and Ann-Renee Desbiens, who made 22 saves, made that stand up. Maddie Rooney made 22 saves for Minnesota, which went 0-1 on the power play. Boston plays at Montreal on Monday. The Frost are home against Boston on Thursday. ___ AP women’s hockey: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-hockey Advertisement

A newly released Senate intelligence report has criticized the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for its handling of cases related to the mysterious health condition known as Havana Syndrome. The declassified report, released on Friday, alleges that the agency's approach has "greatly complicated" the treatment and understanding of the condition, which has affected U.S. personnel and their families around the globe. Newsweek contacted the CIA on Friday via its online form for comment. Why It Matters As reported by Newsweek , the U.S. government has previously faced criticism for not taking the issue of Havana Syndrome seriously enough and the report would appear to confirm this. According to the 18-page report, titled "Review of CIA's Efforts to Provide Facilitated Medical Care and Benefits for Individuals Affected by Anomalous Health Incidents [AHIs]," the CIA's response has been marred by inadequate communication and "messaging challenges," inconsistent medical support, delayed compensation and a dismissive attitude toward affected individuals. These failures have hindered efforts to provide proper treatment and left many victims struggling to access benefits. "CIA has provided benefits and compensation to many AHI reporters, but ease of access to these programs has been inconsistent and affected by CIA's organizational position on AHIs," the report states. What To Know Havana Syndrome, first reported in 2016 by U.S. diplomats in Cuba , is characterized by symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive difficulties and even possible brain injuries. While the exact cause remains elusive, theories have ranged from targeted microwave attacks by Russia to environmental factors. The syndrome has since been reported in other locations, leading to further concerns about its scope and origins. As reported by Newsweek , more than 1,000 people in the U.S. and elsewhere are now thought to have been affected by Havana Syndrome. A study published by the National Institutes of Health in March 2024 offered no further insight into the causes of the condition. However, a joint investigation published earlier this year alleged that a Russian military intelligence unit known had experimented with "exactly the kind of weaponized technology experts suggest is a plausible cause for the mysterious medical condition," and raised further questions over the U.S. intelligence community's confidence in dismissing foreign intelligence influence. In response to the issue, the Helping American Victims Afflicted by Neurological Attacks (HAVANA) Act of 2021 was signed by President Joe Biden in October 2021. The Senate Intelligence Committee report released Friday stated in its findings that: "In sum, the absence of a clear case definition for AHIs, uncertainty surrounding the origin of AHIs, and CIA's evolving organizational position have greatly complicated CIA's ability to consistently and transparently facilitate medical care, provide compensation and other benefits, and communicate clearly about AHIs to the workforce." The report revealed that despite a growing number of cases, the agency was slow to standardize protocols for identifying and treating victims. The report stated that the CIA facilitated AHI-related medical care for nearly 100 CIA-affiliated incidents, but many individuals faced obstacles to timely and sufficient care In addition, the Senate committee highlighted discrepancies in how different agencies, including the Department of Defense , handled Havana Syndrome cases. This lack of coordination further complicated efforts to provide a unified response. "AHI clinical research studies have identified unexplained clusters of symptoms, but CIA has stopped collecting clinical data on AHls while DOD research efforts continue," the report said. Overall, the report found that the CIA's response to AHIs negatively affected AHI reporters and led to a trust deficit with portions of its workforce. "The Committee assesses that, since CIA's analytic position is that it is "very unlikely--that a foreign adversary is responsible for reported AHIs, then counterintelligence analysts' involvement in such determinations has made it difficult at times for AHI reporters' claims to be adjudicated on their individual merits," the report said. "Additionally, many AHI reporters experienced a significant moral injury as a result of how they perceived CIA's treatment of them." Previous investigations concluded that it was unlikely that Russia or another foreign adversary had used microwaves or other forms of directed energy to attack American officials. As reported by Newsweek and The Associated Press (AP), the agency has faced criticism from those who have reported cases and from advocates who accuse the government of long dismissing the array of ailments. What People Are Saying CIA Director William Burns previously defended the agency's efforts to address Havana Syndrome and emphasized the CIA's commitment to supporting affected personnel vowing to prioritize their care and recovery. Burns said: "I want to be absolutely clear: these findings do not call into question the experiences and real health issues that U.S. government personnel and their family members — including CIA's own officers — have reported while serving our country," said Burns in a statement, as reported by AP. "We will continue to remain alert to any risks to the health and wellbeing of Agency officers, to ensure access to care, and to provide officers the compassion and respect they deserve." While the Senate report has brought renewed attention to Havana Syndrome, many questions remain unanswered. The IC committee said: "The Committee wants to emphasize that CIA's facilitated medical care and benefit programs need not be locked in stone. As the U.S. government learns more about AHls, CIA can and should modify both the programs and benefits offered as well as the eligibility criteria and application processes for those programs. "In the meantime, as research continues, the IC must err on the side of providing more facilitated medical care and support to it employees and other affiliated personnel rather than less. This should be the default position for all of CIA's AHI-related efforts. " What Happens Next The Senate report concludes with recommendations for the CIA going forward: "CIA should develop written policies for medical care and benefit programs associated with AHIs and other counterintelligence-related health incidents that include clear eligibility criteria and adjudication processes for determining how access to such programs will be provided to individuals who seek these benefits." "These policies should be made available to CIA employees and the congressional intelligence committees. As research into AHIs progresses, CIA should periodically review these policies to ensure that these benefit programs and the criteria used to determine eligibility reflect the U.S. government's latest understanding of AHIs," the report states.
