Proud Boys Canada's demise could stiffen resolve of members, expert warns


OTTAWA — Targeting the Canadian chapter of the Proud Boys with anti-terror legislation has led to the group's apparent demise, but a leading expert says it might have little effect on the broader far-right movement.

The development could simply harden the resolve of former members, prompt them to join other groups or spawn an increase in individual online activity, said Barbara Perry, director of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at Ontario Tech University.


Proud Boys Canada announced Sunday it was dissolving after the Liberal government listed it as a terrorist organization following the January assault on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Being on the list means the group's assets and property are effectively frozen and subject to seizure or forfeiture.

A statement posted to the Proud Boys channel on the app Telegram and attributed to the Canadian chapter of the white nationalist group said it thought about pursuing a legal case, "but we have no financial support."

In a separate statement, the group said those in its Canadian chapter have to consider their livelihoods and "fighting this in court will prove to be expensive and time consuming."

But it said the "fight for liberty" isn't over.

"They will continue to fight for western values ... but now ... as individuals."

Perry said while Ottawa's listing of the Proud Boys could deter some members, it might stiffen the resolve of others.

"It reinforces their victim mentality," she said in an interview Monday. "Now they can claim that they're the targeted ones, they're the ones that are being silenced."

It is possible that some local chapters of the Proud Boys would continue to operate in Canada, given their independence, Perry said. In addition, the "real diehards" will morph into a different group or take up with an existing one, she predicted.

"I think that that many of them will continue to engage in the movement in some way," said Perry, who pegs the number of far-right groups in Canada at about 250.

Some extremists in the movement will try to advance causes on their own in cyberspace, she added, noting "a lot of individuals who are threading their way in and out of different social-media platforms associated with the far right without necessarily affiliating with with a particular group."

Perry also flags the next general election as a rallying point "that is likely to bring folks out of the woodwork again" as members of the far right try to amplify their messages.

Mustafa Farooq, chief executive of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, cautiously welcomed the Proud Boys' announcement.

"Obviously, we do not take the words of this violent Islamophobic organization at face value," he tweeted. "However, this is an important step."

Farooq said there is still "a lot more work to do" to dismantle the many other white-supremacist groups in Canada.

"Let's make the flags of hate come down. Together."

Race-based, white supremacist violence is a tragic reality in Canada, said Mary-Liz Power, a spokeswoman for Public Safety Minister Bill Blair.

"We have taken significant action as a government to end such violence in our communities. We also know there is more to do, and we are committed to doing that work," she said.

"Intolerance and hate have no place in our society."

Montreal comic creators suing Marvel, say Iron Man suit looks 'strikingly' familiar


MONTREAL — When Montreal-based comic book company founders Ben and Raymond Lai watched the 2018 Marvel movie "Avengers: Infinity War," they said they knew they had to sue Marvel Entertainment — again.

The Lai brothers, founders of Horizon Comics Productions, claim the armour worn by Iron Man in the movie is too similar to the outfit sported by Maxwell, a character they developed for their Radix comic series in the early 2000s.

"After years of legal dispute and substantial sums of money, they continue to copy our characters," Raymond Lai said in a statement to The Canadian Press. “It causes us significant damage and has an impact on our ability to make a living as artists. Clearly, this repeated behaviour cannot be accepted.”

The brothers had sued Marvel Entertainment and its owner, The Walt Disney Company, in 2013. They claimed the outfit worn by Iron Man in a poster for Marvel's "Iron Man 3" looked too much like a suit for another Radix character, Caliban. The brothers, however, lost that legal case.

Ben and Raymond Lai say Marvel has copied their designs again. And their lawyers say they have a case because the brothers' claims involve new Marvel costumes in different Marvel movies.

On April 22, lawyers for the Montreal comic book company filed a motion in Quebec Superior Court against Marvel Entertainment and Disney for alleged copyright infringement. They say Marvel's Ant-Man, the Wasp and Iron Man characters have body armour strikingly similar to the clothing they created for their superheroes.

The plaintiffs are suing for compensatory damages yet to be disclosed, and they are asking the court to issue a permanent injunction against Marvel and Disney to “put an end to this deliberate and persistent infringement,” according to the lawsuit.

Several interview requests to Marvel and Disney were not returned. All the allegations by the Lai brothers have not been proven in court.

Julie Desrosiers with Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, one of the brothers' lawyers, says the alleged similarities between her client's work and Marvel characters are causing a lot of headaches. She said when Ben and Raymond Lai present their work to the public, people often think they copied Marvel.

“It’s the other way around," she said in a recent interview.

The brothers created their comic book company in 1995. In 2001 and 2002, they published a three-volume comic book series called Radix.

“It was with Radix that we became known and that our work was recognized in the American comic book industry,” Raymond said in the statement. “We made a name for ourselves.”

Around March 2002, Marvel’s editor-in-chief, Chester Bror Cebulski, approached the Lai brothers for their unique, highly futuristic designs — but they turned down the offer, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit said that around the same time, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology copied illustrations from the Radix series for a $50-million research grant to create what is now the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies.

MIT issued a public apology to the Lai brothers, however, acknowledging the unauthorized use of images, the lawsuit said.

“We decided not to take legal action against MIT because they publicly apologized and admitted their mistake,” Raymond wrote. “But with Marvel, it's repeated infringement.”

The brothers' company gained notoriety with the MIT controversy and were once again approached by Marvel. In September 2002, the brothers agreed to be part of a new creative team and worked for Marvel's Thor and X-Men comics, the lawsuit said.

In the brothers' failed 2013 case against Marvel, Justice Paul Oetken of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York concluded there was no infringement because of the "distinctive features between the characters."

But according to the new lawsuit, the distinctive features previously identified to justify the dismissal of the brothers' claims no longer exist in the new superhero outfits created by Marvel. The suit alleges “several striking similarities exist between the new Iron Man suit depicted in Infinity War and the suit worn by the Radix character Maxwell.”

"In sum, not only are the distinctive features raised by Justice Oetken in the American proceeding no longer present in the Infinity War suit, but several additional strikingly similar features to the Radix suit were added."

The brothers say Marvel and Disney are "deliberately" creating costumes that look similar to their Radix character "knowing that Horizon’s means to defend its copyrights were scarce."

"This behaviour is oppressive, malicious and highly reprehensible," the lawsuit said. "It offends the public’s sense of decency."

Tilray-Aphria deal closes, company to control biggest share of Cdn pot market


NANAIMO, B.C. — Tilray Inc. and Aphria Inc. say their merger deal has now closed after receiving approval from shareholders of both companies.

Provided by The Canadian Press

Tilray shareholders voted Friday in favour of issuing stock to Aphria's shareholders, but the Nanaimo, B.C.-based company has yet to reveal how many supported the proposal.


About 99 per cent of Aphria shareholders voted in favour of the deal in April.

The two cannabis companies announced in December that they will merge under the Tilray name with Aphria CEO Irwin Simon at the helm and Tilray CEO Brendan Kennedy joining the board.

The new company is expected to have a pro forma revenue of $874 million and will control more than 17 per cent of the retail cannabis market — the largest share held by any Canadian licensed producer.

While Tilray shareholders at Friday's meeting supported the Aphria deal, they voted against increasing the company's authorized capital stock from more than 743 million shares to 900 million shares.

After criticism over Bill C-10, Liberals vow to make it clear CRTC won't regulate social media posts

Anja Karadeglija
POSTMEDIA

3/5/2021

The Liberal government is promising to change broadcasting Bill C-10 following a week of controversy that an amendment to the legislation infringes Canadians’ rights to free expression.

© Provided by National Post Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault speaks via videoconference during question period in the House of Commons Monday, May 3, 2021.

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault said a new amendment would make it “crystal clear” that social media posts by Canadians would not be subject to regulation by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

Guilbeault said the government wants “to make sure that the content that people upload on social media won’t be considered as programming under the [Broadcasting Act] and that it won’t be regulated by the CRTC.”

Critics who had sounded the alarm over the bill expressed caution over Guilbeault’s move.

University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist said Guilbeault’s announcement Monday came after the minister had been arguing the amended bill did not affect user-generated content.

He said Guilbeault was now acknowledging “what was obvious, namely that government changes resulted in regulating the content of millions of Canadians. Many will be waiting to see what is proposed this time as the government tries to patch up a deeply flawed bill.”

On April 23, the Heritage committee removed an exemption for user-generated content from C-10, the bill that updates the Broadcasting Act and sets up the CRTC to begin regulating online companies like Netflix.

'Full-blown assault' on free expression: Inside the comprehensive Liberal bill to regulate the internet

Experts feared the exemption would bring online posts by Canadians, including video posts on social media like YouTube and TikTok, under the CRTC’s authority.

Earlier Monday, Liberal MPs on the Heritage committee agreed to send Bill C-10 back to the justice minister for a second review of the bill’s compliance with charter rights, despite shutting down debate on that motion Friday.

Parliamentary secretary Julie Dabrusin told reporters Monday the government still believed the bill didn’t infringe free expression rights. “There’s no change on the view that we’re not concerned about the freedom of expression aspect. It’s just if it provides greater comfort to get the charter review, then so be it, get the charter review,” Dabrusin said.

On Friday, a Conservative motion in the Heritage committee asked to send the bill back to the justice minister to issue an updated “charter statement.” Charter statements are issued by the justice minister and review the impact government bills could have under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The initial charter statement for C-10 specifically cited the exemption for user-generated content that was removed.

Conservative MP Rachael Harder called for the committee’s clause-by-clause consideration of the bill to be suspended until after it had received an updated charter statement and until the heritage and justice ministers appeared at committee to answer questions about the amended bill.

The Liberals on the committee, backed by the NDP, voted Friday to shut down that debate. Over the weekend, NDP MP Heather McPherson defended the amendment in a TV appearance, saying C-10 had other safeguards protecting Canadians.

But then at Monday’s Heritage committee meeting, McPherson proposed an amendment to the Conservative motion, calling for the charter review and minister’s committee appearances to happen within 10 days.

Dabrusin proposed the committee wait until the committee had finalized amendments to the bill — more than 100 have been proposed by the various parties — before it sent it to the minister. “A charter review halfway through is not a proper charter review,” she said.

The committee didn’t vote on the motion or the Dabrusin’s amendment Monday. That vote is set to happen when it meets again on Friday afternoon, though Dabrusin indicated the government wanted to agree on a compromise before then. “I would suggest that we actually take some time, we have until Friday, to talk among the parties and see if we can arrange for resolution,” she said.

Critics of the legislation were not convinced the latest moves would fully address their concerns.

“At this point anything that provides for a pause and sober reflection is welcome,” former CRTC commissioner Peter Menzies said in an email. “But if all that comes out of it is deflection and further name-calling, it won’t help. The problems with C-10 are fundamental.”

Geist, who has said the best course of action would be to scrap the bill and start over, said the committee should have moved to the charter statement immediately.

“The solution lies in stopping [clause-by-clause] review until an updated assessment can be conducted and the responsible ministers can respond to questions about the changes,” Geist wrote in an email.

He added “it’s hard to understand why the Liberals instead chose to delay moving rapidly to a charter review.”

Youth protection report calls on Quebec to create charter of children's rights


MONTREAL — A commission investigating Quebec's youth protection system released its final report Monday, calling on the government to create a charter of children's rights.

The commission's 552-page report included numerous other recommendations, following a two-year investigation that was prompted by the death of a seven-year-old girl in Granby, Que., in April 2019. Quebec's human rights commission concluded the child had been failed by the province's youth protection system.

Led by Régine Laurent, the commission recommended Quebec create a charter that would enshrine the right of a child to develop in a caring family environment. It also called for changes to the Youth Protection Act to ensure the continuity of care.

"It’s clear the biological family must be accompanied and supported to provide this stability,” Laurent told reporters Monday after releasing the report. “But if the biological family cannot respond to the needs of the child, and knowing time is of the essence, the child must be able to take root quickly in a family that will take care of them for life.”

Laurent's commission also recommended the government shift toward a prevention approach to reach families before they end up in the system. That kind of culture shift, the commission said, should include better services in schools, for example.

“We want to be clear: counting only on youth protection to stop the suffering and distress of children constitutes an error and leads up to an impasse — history teaches us this,” Laurent said.

The 2019 death of the seven-year-old girl in Granby sparked outrage in the community east of Montreal and raised questions about the province's ability to protect vulnerable young people. The girl was found in critical condition in her family home and died in hospital.

Laurent said the girl's death was a collective failure of Quebec society.

"We must move from indignation to dignity," she said. "We must turn our anger into action. We must move from a Quebec that is 'crazy about children' to one that is 'worthy of its children.'"

The report recommended the appointment of an independent commissioner to oversee the welfare and rights of children, something that already exists in other provinces. It also called for an assistant commissioner specifically for Indigenous and Inuit children.

The report recommended better support for social workers and a review of their workloads to free them from administrative tasks so they can focus on children and their families. It called for better funding for different community groups that specialize in domains such as domestic violence, food security and the transition of youth into adulthood.

In a preliminary report in November, Laurent had recommended the province hire a youth protection director to oversee the system. The Quebec government has already implemented that recommendation and filled the job in March.

Premier François Legault says junior health minister Lionel Carmant has been leading a review of the youth protection system and will oversee the implementation of the commission's recommendations.

“We vowed to put the kids first and that's what we're going to do,” Legault tweeted on Monday, thanking the commission members for their work.

Carmant and Families Minister Mathieu Lacombe will respond to the report on Tuesday in Quebec City.

‘Your mouth becomes a minefield’: the Americans who can’t afford the dentist

Michael Sainato 

THE GUARDIAN

MAY 4,2021


Maureen Haley, 66, lost her home in Florida in the wake of the 2008 recession. She now lives in a camper near Greensboro, North Carolina, relying on social security and Medicare to make ends meet and pay for healthcare.

But Haley has problems with her teeth, and cannot afford to see a dentist to have them fixed.

“My teeth problems are the biggest problem I have each day,” said Haley. “I need root canals and implants. I have a tooth impaction. I have to massage the heck out of it to get the air out of my gums and cheek after chewing a meal. Painful is an understatement, and the worry of how this may affect my heart compounds it.”

She worries about remaining independent, and not ending up in a nursing home. On a limited income, her decisions revolve around what is most pressing, such as fixing her vehicle and drug prescriptions. The last time she was able to visit a dentist was three years ago, and she was given an estimate of over $8,500 for the work she needs.

Haley is one of millions of Americans who have no dental insurance coverage and cannot afford to pay out of pocket for extensive dental care needs, including nearly two-thirds of Medicare beneficiaries – about 37 million people. An estimated 74 million Americans have no dental insurance coverage. A survey by CareQuest Institute for Oral Health released in April found an estimated 6 million Americans lost their dental insurance during the pandemic.

The disparities in oral health in the US are prevalent among racial and economic lines, with Black, Hispanic and lower-income Americans experiencing higher rates of tooth decay, gum disease and oral cancer, as more than half of Americans avoid or delay healthcare, including dental care, because of high costs.

The importance of oral health is directly linked to overall health. Dental problems are linked, or suspected to be linked, to cardiovascular and other serious health problems such as diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

Loxi Hopkins, 68, of Davenport, Iowa, and her husband have severe dental issues – but their Medicare package won’t cover any of it.

She is currently in need of thousands of dollars in dental repair.

“I have lost most of my teeth. We put it off as long as possible and then only do the basic treatment,” said Hopkins. “It is a bummer to work all our lives and in what is referred to as our golden years we live with stress and often pain.”

She recently had a tooth pulled after a crown came loose and her gums became too sore to eat, and during that time she was trying to figure out how to avoid seeing a dentist because of the costs. She had the tooth removed for $235, then had to spend another $200 for an oral surgeon consultation to have the root removed – only to not be able to afford the recommended treatment for another several hundred dollars.

“I cried on the way home. I gave thought to not having the root removed because of the money. I tried and the remaining tooth was so sharp my tongue bled,” added Hopkins. “I will need to get another tooth out on my partial implant because this tooth is what I bite with and now I have to tear little bites of sandwiches and put it in my mouth because I can’t bite. I may have to live like that if I can’t save up the money to add the tooth to the partial.”

Advocates for expanding dental healthcare coverage are pushing Joe Biden and members of Congress to include expansion plans in upcoming coronavirus or healthcare relief bills. The calls to action come as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic has worsened the racial and economic inequities among those who are able to access dental healthcare. Millions of Americans have lost dental insurance or faced economic impacts related to the pandemic, causing greater delays or avoidance of care owing to high costs.

“Dental care is the No 1 medical service that Americans skip because of cost,” said Melissa Burroughs, the associate director for the Oral Health Campaign at the non-profit consumer health advocacy organization Families USA.

Everything has to be made into small pieces that need not be chewed, or pureed 

Elizabeth

“Oral health is not just a health issue, it’s a social justice and equity issue.”

For Americans like Elizabeth, a 69-year-old near Tampa, Florida, that expanded dental coverage can’t come soon enough. She and her husband struggle with dental issues they can’t afford to fix, while relying on Medicare and medicaid for prescriptions and other medical services that are covered.

Her husband’s teeth are mostly gone, Elizabeth said, while she suffers from periodontitis, a severe infection of the gums.

“I have loose, painful teeth that disallow anything substantial to be chewed without pain, and perpetual infection that cannot be treated through Medicare,” she said. “Between the cost of office visits, treatment for the infections, extraction of the rest of my teeth and new dentures, for us, it’s impossible. What little nest egg we’ve saved would be gone and we would be left without any money to cover an emergency.”

The couple already lives on income below the poverty line, and they depend on social security and Snap assistance, while worrying about major repairs they need for their home such as a leaking roof and a termite infestation, but can’t afford to have fixed, or hoping their old car doesn’t need any repairs or it would leave them stranded.

“We’re grateful for the help we get, especially the food allowance, but our ability to fully take advantage of foods that would contribute to better health are either impossible to eat or are a battle to eat. It hurts,” Elizabeth said.

“Everything has to be made into small pieces that need not be chewed, or pureed into extremely small pieces. Otherwise, you suck up the pain and eat while your mouth becomes a minefield.”

Put idle capacity to work now making vaccines, says WTO head

GENEVA (Reuters) - The world cannot act soon enough to put idle manufacturing capacity to work making COVID-19 vaccines to help redress a massive imbalance in global supply, the head of the World Trade Organization said on Wednesday.

WTO director-general Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said equitable access to vaccines, diagnostics and treatments was "both the moral and economic issue of our time". The World Health Organization said in April that of 700 million vaccines globally administered, only 0.2% had been in low-income countries.


Okonjo-Iweala told a meeting of the 164-member WTO that those who had ordered more vaccines than they needed must share with others. Members should also address export restrictions and bureaucracy disrupting vital medical supply chains.

She urged governments to work with manufacturers to use production capacity available in countries such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, South Africa, Indonesia and Senegal that could be turned around in a matter of months.

Production needed to rise from the 5 billion doses produced today to the 10.8 billion being forecast for this year to 15 billion, in particular if booster doses would be needed.

The debate on vaccine inequity at the WTO has centred a proposal by India and South Africa to waive intellectual property rights, at least for the duration of the pandemic.

Ten meetings of WTO members have failed to achieve a breakthrough and Wednesday's online gathering was no different as 42 countries gave their views. However, members also heard that India and South Africa intend to refine their proposal before another discussion later in May.

Okonjo-Iweala said she was happy to hear of the revised text.

"I am firmly convinced that once we can sit down with an actual text in front of us, we shall find a pragmatic way forward," she said, referring to a balance between developing country demands while protecting research and innovation.

Montreal archdiocese names independent ombudswoman to investigate abuse complaints


MONTREAL — The Montreal archdiocese has named its first independent ombudswoman to handle complaints regarding abuse and other inappropriate behaviour connected to the church.

© Provided by The Canadian Press

Montreal lawyer Marie Christine Kirouack has been named to the newly created post, which is one of the key recommendations in a report tabled last November on improving accountability in the diocese.

Kirouack, who is not affiliated with the church, is mandated to receive all allegations of abuse and other inappropriate behaviour and to ensure those complaints are followed up.

Complaints will be referred to a new advisory committee composed of five lay members — four experts in various fields and one survivor of abuse — who will determine next steps.

Last November, former Superior Court justice Pepita G. Capriolo issued a report harshly criticizing how the archdiocese handled the case of ex-priest Brian Boucher, sentenced to eight years in prison in 2019 for sexually assaulting two minors.

Archbishop Christian Lépine told reporters today more than half of the report's 31 recommendations have been implemented, adding that the rest are expected to be put into force by the end of 2021.

NWMO responds to local group's concerns, expands well testing

TEESWATER – The Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) says they are listening to the concerns of a local group.

Protect Our Waterways-No Nuclear Waste (POW-NNW) is claiming vandals are targeting them due to comments made by an official at the organization.

Retiring Vice-President of Site Selection, Ben Belfadhel, wrote a scathing letter to the editor in response to a flyer that the POW-NNW sent out to local homes in September 2020.

The flyer drew attention to the NWMO's proposed deep geological repository (DGR) for high-level used nuclear fuel in the Teeswater farmland.

In the letter, Belfadhel called the group “not willing to listen,” a comment that POW-NNW believes escalated the ongoing dispute between “pro-DGR,” people who formed their own organized group called “Willing To Listen,” and “anti-DGR” people.

“We want to be clear that Protect Our Waterways is a very important part of the community of South Bruce and we are committed to continuing to engage with them,” the NWMO’s new Vice-President of Site Selection, Lise Morton, said in a press release.

“Right from day one we have welcomed public discourse about Canada’s plan,” she said. “Not only did we consult Canadians through a comprehensive study, but we have been in active dialogue with community members in both siting areas and with First Nations and Métis communities nearby.”

POW-NNW responded with their own media release, demanding an apology.

"Until the NWMO publicly apologizes for labeling Protecting Our Waterways – No Nuclear Waste as the 'unwilling to listen group,’ they remain responsible for all vandalism against the property of the people who don't support their plan,” states the POW-NNW release.

“Any statements that NWMO makes to the contrary sugar-coat their so-called process, that the community is supposed to sit and listen to whatever they say and not ask any questions. The NWMO does not tolerate public debate.”

In other NWMO news, water well testing is expanding to include more wells in South Bruce, near the proposed DGR site.

“The program, which involves participating local landowners having water from their wells collected and analyzed by Tulloch Environmental, a third-party organization under NWMO contract, was recently expanded to include more wells and sample parameters based on community input from South Bruce,” a press release said.

“Water does not just support local industries like agriculture; it supports life itself,” said Joanne Jacyk, section manager of environmental assessment, NWMO. “We understand how important it is to the residents and rights holders. That is why we are working to protect it – and the environment – for the very long term.”

Interested landowners in the vicinity of the proposed site are encouraged to reach out to the NWMO for more information.
