Myanmar protesters continue to defy military junta amid increased internet curbs – National | Globalnews.ca

Demonstrators in Myanmar held protests demanding the restoration of Aung San Suu Kyi government on Monday and called for more coordinated nationwide dissent, defying the military’s moves to suppress attempts to rally opposition to its two-month rule. Six people were killed at the weekend, according to activists, as police and soldiers used force to break up demonstrations that some protesters are calling a “spring revolution.”

Coronavirus live updates: India breaks 100,000 cases a day milestone as infections surge – The Washington Post

India on Sunday reported more than 100,000 new cases of the coronavirus, a grim measure only achieved by one other country in the world, the United States, and a sign that the infections in this country of 1.3 billion could be spinning out of control. The country, which also has one of the world’s largest vaccine manufacturing capacities, is immunizing citizens at a rate of 2 million a day, but so far has not made significant headway with just 5 percent of the population having received a first dose. India is also slowing down its vaccine exports in the face of domestic demand with potentially dire consequences for other countries around the world.

Health Canada Issues Warning About Graphene Masks

All Around BC

Graphene masks are growing in popularity recently and Canadian authorities have recently issued some warnings about potential health hazards that might be linked with using these masks.

Recall for graphene masks in Canada

There has been a recall issued for some disposable masks that have been made with graphene. They warn that those who might have a graphene mask should be cautious because you could inhale graphene particles from the masks and that could pose a serious health risk to the wearers they warn.

The potential isn’t known though about for those masks and it isn’t clear the risk but preliminary assessment, Canadian authorities warn, has found that some of those graphene particles might cause issues in the lungs and be very toxic, causing serious health concern if inhaled for example. They are looking into manufacturer data to further assess these masks.

Already they have directed those behind the masks…

Second “Blitz” vaccinates over 1,000 Jamaican elders

Petchary's Blog

The Ministry of Health and Wellness really seem to love the word “blitz.” It sounds somewhat warlike to me, but I guess the idea is to really reach some numbers in terms of vaccination.

There have been two “blitzes” so far at the National Arena in Kingston. Reports from the vaccinees (I am not sure if that is actually a word, though) showed they were happy with the way things went – smooth, professionally done and well organized. Congratulations to the hard-working Ministry staff. As someone said: “Give them a raise in pay!” I would add, “Immediately, please!”

So, next week blitzes will cover the island. No parish will be spared. Tune in to the media and the Ministry for further updates. If you are 75 years or older – or have a friend or relative in that age group – do go and get vaccinated! The first dose alone…

Why climate justice is impossible without racial justice – Greenpeace International

The climate crisis is fueling inequality around the world and in particular racial injustice. For generations, inequality has exacerbated the impacts of the climate emergency for racial communities, and here is why: Colonialism “The excessive exploitation of natural resources would not have been possible without slavery, which allowed Western countries to accumulate significant wealth … This grabbing of wealth continued with colonisation, in Africa, South America, and Asia. “The struggle for the environment and for peace requires racial, environmental, and climate justice, and a fundamental change in our relationship with others and with nature. Environmental destruction cannot be fought without fighting racism and the violence associated with it: they are two sides of the same coin.” — Greenpeace France Colonisation involved the removal of people from their land, the destruction of this land and exploiting the local communities through unpaid labour. But colonialism isn’t just something steeped in history, its systems of oppression are very much alive and well today. We see this with extractive industries, such as fossil fuels that are still causing destruction around the worl
