Avec près de 5,3 millions de spectateurs en deux semaines d’exploitation et une hausse de sa fréquentation de 45%, “Intouchables” confirme son incroyable popularité. Sera-t-il le plus gros succès de l’année au box-office 2011 ?

Intouchables est bel et bien un phénomène. Après avoir attiré plus de 2,1 millions de spectateurs en première semaine, le film emmené par François Cluzet et Omar Sy en attire plus de 3 millions en deuxième semaine, soit une hausse de 45% de sa fréquentation. La chose est suffisamment rare pour être soulignée, et même si le week-end prolongé du 11 novembre a facilité les choses, cette augmentation conséquente de la fréquentation est en premier lieu la preuve d’un bouche-à-oreille incroyablement performant. Bonne nouvelle pour le film : selon un sondage Ifop pour la radio Alouette, 68% des spectateurs comptent le revoir. Au total, Intouchables est désormais près des 5,3 millions d’entrées en deux semaines d’exploitation et, au rythme où il va, peut clairement envisager d’être le plus gros succès de l’année 2011 : Harry Potter et les reliques de la mort – partie 2 a attiré 6,5 millions de spectateurs alors que le numéro un actuel, Rien à déclarer, culmine à 8,1 millions d’entrées.

OTTAWA — Elizabeth May says “oil is dead” and the COVID-19 pandemic has given Canadian leaders an opportunity to “stop and think” about ways to adjust the economy to a new reality.

The Green Party parliamentary leader told reporters Wednesday, ahead of the House of Commons’ in-person meeting of the special committee on the COVID-19 pandemic, that the crisis has pummelled oil prices and there’s no coming back. 

“Just as much as Blockbuster Video thought it had a solid business proposition — til Netflix came along — that’s the kind of disruption we’re seeing in the energy sector,” May said. “And betting on Blockbuster Video right now would not be a good way to spend our money.”

The country’s energy sector contributed to more than 10 per cent to the nominal Gross Domestic Product in 2018, according to Natural Resources Canada. Since then, the industry has been plunged into a crisis with dropping demand and a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia that forced prices to hit historic lows. 

Watch: What does $0 oil mean for Canada, and the oil provinces? Story continues below video.

 

May said it’s “enormously important” to diversify Alberta’s economy, of which more than 27 per cent was attributable to mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction in 2018, to help workers train and transition to jobs in the renewable energy sector. 

Speaking about oil, May said, “the idea that we have a product that the world wants — that idea is delusional.” 

Bloc Québécois Yves-François Blanchet shared much of the same sentiments, describing the fate of the oilsands as “condemned.” 

The Bloc leader suggested the $12.6 billion the federal government earmarked for the Trans Mountain pipeline would be better spent helping Alberta make a “necessary transition” to renewable and green energy.

RBC Economic issued a forecast in March projecting Alberta’s economic decline will be the “most severe” the province has ever experienced in a single year, and “the largest in Canada,” due to the continued contraction of the oil industry, coalesced with the COVID-19 pandemic.

These economic conditions mean workers will need a “helping hand” to get through these “huge challenges,” New Democratic Party Leader Jagmeet Singh said in an Ottawa press conference.

Singh told reporters the future is “clearly one of renewable energy, green energy.” Oilsands production is no longer sustainable for the long run, he said. 

“There are no longer any long-term jobs available in that sector and Canadians across the country deserve much better than what we’ve seen in the past,” Singh said in French.

Thriving energy sector helped Canada in 2008, says Tory MP

Earlier this year, Teck Resources pulled its application for its $20.6-billion Frontier Oilsands Mine Project citing “no constructive path forward for the project.” Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer blamed “political unrest” at the time for killing 7,000 jobs that would have been linked to the project if it were approved.

Lakeland MP Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative party’s natural resources critic, told HuffPost Canada that cheap global prices “for the foreseeable future” and increased government debts around the world will mean fewer subsidies for renewable energy.

These conditions, she explained, will foster increased international demand for oil and gas again.

“Consumption is currently down in the midst of the global pandemic, but when the world recovers, demand will resume and then increase going into the future,” Stubbs said Wednesday, referencing growing major economies, such as India and China, as potential buyers.

“A thriving energy sector helped Canada weather the financial crisis of 2008-09, and it will be no less important to helping us recover from the hard times ahead,” she said.

New measures expected in ‘coming days or week’

The issue was also raised in the House by Conservative MP Dane Lloyd. Now that Irving Oil Ltd. refineries on the east coast are turning to Alberta to secure crude supplies, the Sturgeon River–Parkland MP asked if the government would support an east-west pipeline. 

According to the Financial Post, the route recently approved by the federal government includes Alberta crude travelling south from British Columbia via tankers, through the Panama Canal and up the east coast to New Brunswick.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said it’s “good news” east coast refineries are taking Alberta crude. Referencing the purchase of the Trans Mountain pipeline nearly two years ago, Freeland said the government believes in pipelines, “that’s why we bought one.”

Last month, the government pledged $1.7 billion to help clean up orphan and inactive oil and gas wells in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia, adding the initiative will maintain approximately 5,200 jobs.

More measures are expected to be announced for the oil and energy sectors.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters during a press conference Monday outside his Ottawa that the federal government will be looking at “sectoral supports.” He said energy sector-related announcements will be made “in the coming days or week.”

WASHINGTON — The United States is keeping Canada and its plans to overhaul its drug-pricing system on a “watch list” of countries deemed a peril to American intellectual property rights — just as a world racked by COVID-19 takes an interest access to in a California company’s experimental new drug treatment.

In its annual report on foreign threats to U.S. copyright holders, the office of the U.S. Trade Representative is raising concerns about Canada’s plan to change how it calculates the fair price of prescription drugs, though stopping short of Big Pharma’s demand that it be deemed a “priority” trouble spot.

Canada’s plan has drawn “significant concern from stakeholders” because it would “dramatically reshape” how the arm’s-length Patented Medicine Prices Review Board evaluates drugs, says the report. The board plans to stop using the U.S. and Switzerland, home to the world’s highest drug prices, to help it determine what Canadian patients should pay.

“If implemented, the changes may significantly undermine the marketplace for innovative pharmaceutical products, delay or prevent the introduction of new medicines in Canada and reduce investments in Canada’s life sciences sector,” the U.S. report says.

The report acknowledges that Canada has agreed to intellectual-property reforms in the forthcoming U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which the USTR announced last week would become the law of the land on July 1.

That agreement may be Canada’s best defence against the escalating dangers of pandemic-fuelled protectionism in the United States, experts say — especially as the challenge of procuring weapons against COVID-19 moves from face masks to therapeutic drugs.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, for instance, has pointed out that finding treatments for COVID-19 might take less time than finding a vaccine to prevent it.

The existence of the USMCA, along with Canada’s recently proven track record in negotiating with its stateside neighbours, could bode well for “Buy American” becoming “Buy North American,” said Scott Paul, president of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.

“It would not at all be unusual to have some regional exception or inclusion with respect to domestic preferences,” Paul told a panel discussion hosted earlier this week by the Washington International Trade Association.

“The fact that we do have a USMCA entering into force soon … provides a pretty good framework for that.”

That’s likely to be even more important in the coming months as cross-border procurement concerns start to focus on issues like drug therapies and vaccine supplies. Already, remdesivir — an experimental drug made by California-based Gilead Sciences — is causing a buzz after a recent clinical trial suggested it could prove effective in mitigating the symptoms of COVID-19.

The antiviral drug has been on the World Health Organization’s list of promising treatments getting special attention since March.

Just days after U.S. infectious-disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci expressed cautious optimism about the drug from the Oval Office, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorized the emergency use of remdesivir on patients infected with the novel coronavirus, buoyed by evidence that it shortens recovery times.

If it pans out, global demand will be enormous and countries with strong trade relationships with the United States may benefit.

Not everyone excited for new deal

Not everyone is happy to see the USMCA, known variously in government circles as CUSMA, ACEUM in Quebec and “the new NAFTA” elsewhere in Canada, taking effect sooner than anticipated.  

Conservative Sen. Don Plett, the Opposition leader in the upper chamber, doubled down Friday on his charge that the Liberal government had promised both Canada’s dairy processors and Conservative senators that the agreement would not kick in until Aug. 1.

And in an interview with The Canadian Press, Plett said he believes the government amended its schedule to help expedite the delivery of U.S.-made N95 face masks — the subject of an export ban imposed last month by President Donald Trump — and to beat back the idea of stationing American soldiers near the Canadian border.

 “We were told directly that Trump had threatened to withhold N95 masks,” he said.

“The second argument, troops at the border … he wasn’t going there to declare an act of war, he was going to prevent illegal immigrants from crossing the border. And so to sell out our dairy industry, in order to make their negotiations with Trump easier, I don’t accept.”

The government has denied that it swapped an earlier implementation date for an exemption to the Trump administration’s export ban on protective medical gear or an end to the short-lived idea of sending U.S. troops to the border.

The July 1 date is expected to cost the processing industry an additional $100 million because the dairy sector’s “quota year” for a number of key products begins in August, and many of the terms of the agreement are tied directly to the production calendar.

“Your government threw Canada’s dairy farmers under the bus,” Plett fumed at Sen. Marc Gold, the government’s representative in the Senate.

The government has denied that it ever promised an Aug. 1 come-into-effect date. Gold did not; instead, he refused to discuss “private discussions” with other leaders.

But he did made it clear that Canada’s fraught relationship with the unpredictable Trump administration was top of mind when the COVID-19 crisis began to intensify in mid-March, when the government fast-tracked the USMCA implementation bill through both the House of Commons and the Senate and began negotiating a mutual ban on non-essential cross-border travel.  

“In the context of this new reality, I don’t have to remind senators that maintaining a good close collaborative and stable relationship with the United States, our most important trading partner and our neighbour, has become even more important than it already was,” Gold said.

“Ensuring that the deal passed when it did, and that protectionism didn’t take greater hold on this continent, if not beyond, was a major accomplishment of this government for which I believe Canadians, including the dairy sector, should be grateful.” 

Gold did promise that the dairy sector would be compensated for the impact of the deal, although he provided no specifics.

MONTREAL — The major crimes unit of Quebec’s provincial police is investigating after four cellphone towers north of Montreal were set on fire within the span of a few days.

Provincial police spokesman Marc Tessier says the latest fire occurred at a Rogers-owned tower in Laval on Tuesday morning. It’s the second fire since Friday to hit one of the company’s towers in that city.

Two other towers about 70 kilometres north of Montreal — one operated by Rogers and the other by Bell — were hit early Monday morning.

Tessier says the major crimes unit will investigate possible links between the four fires, including whether they can be traced back to people espousing conspiracy theories about 5G technology.

False narratives around COVID-19 and 5G — the fifth-generation technology standard for cellphone companies — have been shared hundreds of thousands of times on social media, leading to attacks on towers across Europe.

None of the Quebec towers targeted by suspected arson have 5G capabilities.

Mariepier Des Lauriers, spokeswoman for the town of Prevost, where a Rogers-operated tower was hit Monday morning, said that in recent weeks many residents brought up unfounded conspiracy theories linking 5G technology to COVID-19.

On Sunday, the small town wrote a message on its Facebook page specifying that its cellphone tower did not have 5G capability in response to numerous questions from concerned citizens.

 

A spokesperson for Rogers said the company is “thankful no one was hurt,” but cited concern that “critical infrastructure appears to have been deliberately targeted.”

The company said it was able to “optimize tower equipment in the area” to ensure service could continue.

Federal Industry Minister Navdeep Bains said on Twitter that he was “troubled by the reports of vandalism of Canadian cell towers.” 

As many of us are staying home, we’re relying on wireless and internet services to connect to our work, school, and loved ones. These criminal acts are completely unacceptable and threaten emergency services,” Bains wrote.

Some 50 fires targeting cell towers and other equipment have been recently reported in Britain, leading to three arrests. About 16 have been torched in the Netherlands, with attacks also reported in Ireland, Cyprus, and Belgium.

HORTONVILLE, WI — Money is such an impersonal gift at Christmas, the owners of a Wisconsin novelty glass manufacturer decided, so they gave employees an early gift that, ahem, packs a little more bang: a gift certificate redeemable for a gun of the employee’s choice.

The 16 full-time employees of BenShot LLC weren’t offended. They deal with bullets every day, inserting them in the shot and beer glasses created at the Hortonville factory.

Giving employees a gift certificate rather than the actual guns put the responsibility for background checks on gun sellers, said Ben Woflgram, who founded the company with his son in 2015 in a small garage workshop in Hortonville, which is located about 100 miles northwest of Milwaukee.

“We are a small, close-knit team at BenShot,” Wolfram told television station WISN. “I want to make sure all of employees are safe and happy – a handgun was the perfect gift.”

Wolfgram told the Appleton Post-Crescent the gift of a gun promotes personal safety and team building.

Most employees appreciated the gift, though a couple initially declined it, Wolfgram told the Appleton newspaper. He said they are reconsidering after taking a gun-safety class offered.

“For him to stand for something and for the company to stand for keeping us safe is really awesome for them to do that,” Chelsea Priest, who handles media relations for the small company, told WISN.

The gift comes amid a national debate over guns, renewed by the Nov. 7 Thousand Oaks, California, mass shooting at a bar, the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting and a shooting at a software company in Middleton, Wisconsin, two months ago.

Wolfman isn’t particularly worried about workplace violence among his employees. Everyone knows one another well, he told the Appleton newspaper.

“For us, now, we have an entire armed staff,” he said. “I think that’s pretty good.”

The company’s gift got a lot of love on social media.

BUTTE COUNTY, CA – The death toll has climbed as the number of missing and unaccounted for has soared in the Camp Fire in Northern California, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history.

Authorities said they discovered the remains of eight more people Friday, bringing the death toll to 71. The rising death toll comes as President Donald Trump is expected to visit Paradise.

Butte County Sheriff-Coroner Kory L. Honea said the number of people missing or unaccounted for has spiked to more than 1,000 after authorities vetted previous and incoming reports. He added that many of the unaccounted for may simply be displaced in shelters throughout the region and urged people to look at the list of those missing to let authorities know if they are safe. (Click here to see the Camp Fire Missing Persons List.)

The 148,000-acre Camp Fire forced 52,000 people to evacuate, with 1,385 currently in shelters, officials said. Evacuations remain in place for residents in Paradise, Magalia, Concow, Butte Creek Canyon and Butte Valley. (See the full list of evacuation orders and warnings below. Click here for an online, interactive map of the evacuation zone.)

By Saturday morning, the fire was 55 percent contained.

The fire has destroyed 9,700 single-family homes, 144 multi-family homes, 336 businesses and 2,076 minor structures. Another 283 structures were damaged and an additional 15,500 structures remain threatened, according to Cal Fire. (Click here to see the Camp Fire Structure Status map.)

The blaze broke out around 6:30 a.m. Nov. 8, off Camp Creek and Pulga roads near Highway 70 in the Feather River Canyon, according to Cal Fire. By that evening, the fire had exploded to 20,000 acres. Overnight, the flames grew out-of-control to 70,000 acres and have continued to spread daily.

Thousands of firefighters from across California and other states have helped attack the flames from the ground and by air. A total of 5,596 firefighters were assigned to battle the blaze Thursday, including 622 engines, 103 dozers, 101 hand crews, 75 water tenders and 24 helicopters, according to Cal Fire.

Three firefighters have suffered injuries in the fire.

The sheriff’s office has established a Missing Persons Call Center so people can report loved ones who are missing. Call 530-538-6570, 530-538-7544 or 530-538-7671.

Residents and business owners impacted by the fire can apply for assistance by registering online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). (Click here to see the Camp Fire Structure Status map.)

BOULDER, CO — From the window of a passenger jet, we can observe the Earth at a height of roughly 6 miles. On Monday, a NASA spacecraft made that distance look downright standoffish as it brushed within a historic 4.5 miles of the distant Bennu asteroid —and multiple scientists with University of Colorado-Boulder connections were there to help man the controls.

By 2020, the team behind the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer spacecraft, known to its fans as OSIRIS-REx, hope to reach out and touch the astral rock.

“After two years of travel — and more than a decade of planning and work by my team — I’m here,” announced the rather-chatty OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to its 63,000 Twitter followers Monday morning. “But Arrival is just the beginning…”

— NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (@OSIRISREx) December 3, 2018

Dan Scheeres is a distinguished professor of aerospace engineering at CU-Boulder, and he will be critical in helping OSIRIS-REx to accomplish its next milestone: using the spacecraft’s retractable arm to scoop up a sample of dirt, called a regolith, from Bennu’s surface and return with it to Earth. If successful, this will be the first time NASA has accomplished such a feat.

Scheeres and his team are working to calculate Bennu’s mass. According to CU Boulder Today, that will help scientists estimate how it moves and rotates, what it is made of — oh, and how likely it is that the asteroid will crash into Earth sometime between 2175 and 2199.

“Once we get the first flyby and we nail the first mass, that’s going to be hugely important,” Scheeres told CU Boulder Today. “Right now, there’s a lot of uncertainty. Soon, those uncertainties are going to collapse down to show us what this body is like.”

Scheeres is far from the only CU connection to the OSIRIS-REx mission. Twenty-eight members of the team of scientists who run the mission’s operations out of the Lockheed Martin are CU-Boulder graduates, more than half of the total group.

Go team!

According to CU doctoral alum Jason Leonard, at 500 meters across — just a bit taller than the Empire State Building — Bennu is the smallest body that has ever been orbited in space. Its diminutive size means that it has weak gravitational forces, which makes Leonard and his team’s mission more challenging.

Their success thus far is both impressive and critical. The information the OSIRIS-REx team gathers about Bennu will help them to understand how the asteroid’s orbit might evolve over time, and just how close to earth the space rock might someday come.
