Month: August 2020

OTTAWA — Canada is the only member of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network that has not formally blocked Huaweifrom 5G networks, but it has effectively done just that, delaying a decision long enough to force telecom companies to exclude the Chinese gear maker.

The strategy allows Canada to keep on the right side of both China and the United States as they tussle over Huawei Technologies, say six well-placed sources with direct knowledge of the matter.

Canada and its Five Eyes allies ― the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia ― are under pressure from fellow member the United States to squeeze out Huawei on security grounds.

5G networks offer data speeds up to 50 or 100 times faster than 4G networks and are expected to power everything from telemedicine and remote surgery to self-driving cars.

Canada has been mulling whether to disbar the firm’s next-generation equipment for the better part of two years, brushing off increasing signs of industry impatience.

In June, Bell Canada and rival Telus ― two of the biggest wireless providers ― teamed with Sweden’s Ericsson and Finland’s Nokia Oyj to build fifth-generation (5G) telecoms networks, ditching Huawei for the project despite using Huawei 4G gear.

“The absence of a solution will eventually settle all problems,” said a source directly familiar with the approach taken by the Liberal government of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Rogers Communications, Canada’s other large wireless operator, announced in 2018 it was using Ericsson 5G equipment.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration said it would further tighten U.S. restrictions on Huawei, aimed at cracking down on its access to commercially available chips.

Operators in Canada feel the U.S. curbs mean they have no choice but to sideline Huawei in 5G networks, at least for now, say the sources, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation.

“They’ve done the political calculus and said, ‘The best thing for us is to do nothing and if we do nothing we don’t upset the Chinese, we don’t upset the Americans,’” said a source familiar with what government officials are saying.

Staying on the right side of China has become an important consideration. Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou is fighting extradition to the United States since police in Vancouver detained her in December 2018.

In response, Beijing arrested Canadian citizens Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, charging them with espionage. Canada says gaining their freedom is a top priority.

“If it weren’t for the two Michaels, Canada would have already said it would not be using Huawei 5G technology,” a diplomatic source said. Government officials deny the fate of the two men is linked to 5G.

In 2018, both Australia and New Zealand blocked service providers from using Huawei 5G equipment.

To be sure, Canada will one day make a decision. Two other people who have consulted with Canadian officials say they think it is only a matter of time before Ottawa unveils a ban.

Lessons learned from Britain

However, a source directly familiar with government thinking stressed that Ottawa had not yet come to a firm conclusion and would not be rushed, adding that officials were taking their time to avoid Britain’s predicament. 

The British government said last month it would ban Huawei from 5G networks by ordering companies to remove the equipment by 2027. In January, it had initially said Huawei could have a limited 5G role.

“That underscores why you need to get this right and why you only get one chance … we don’t want to find ourselves in a situation like the Brits where we’re having to go back and put the toothpaste back in the tube,” said the source.

The office of Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains ― who is formally charged with making a decision on Huawei and 5G ― said in a statement that it could not comment on a particular company. It did not say when an announcement would be made.

A Bell spokesman noted that in May, chief executive officer Mirko Bibic said he had no insights into government thinking on Huawei and 5G. Telus did not respond to a request for comment.

Huawei said in a statement that it believed Ottawa “when it says it is taking the time to make a considered decision.”

No other candidate received more than 3 percent support, and 10 percent of polled voters chose “someone else” in the Emerson survey. 

New Mexico’s June 2 primary is among the nation’s last voting contests. It falls just a little more than a month before the Democratic convention, and the makeup of the primary field is likely to be smaller than it will be in next month’s early nominating contests. 

The Emerson poll also found President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE trailing Sanders, Buttigieg, Biden and Warren in a hypothetical matchup in New Mexico. Sanders had the biggest lead over Trump in New Mexico: 18 points. Buttigieg led the president by 10 points and Warren and Biden each led by 8 points. 

The poll did not list other candidates against Trump. The Hill reached out to pollsters for polling on other candidates or to receive the methodology behind choosing which candidates were polled against Trump in a head-to-head matchup.

The poll was conducted between Jan. 3 and 6. Pollsters surveyed 447 Democratic primary voters for the poll on the primary race, and surveyed 967 registered voters for the head-to-head general election poll. Those primary race results have a margin of error of 4.6 percentage points.  The margin of error for the head-to-head matchups is 3.1 percentage points.

One of the ads, “Classroom,” features Denison, Iowa, teacher Jane Lyons, who talks about how she prepares her fourth-grade students for the possibility of a mass shooting.

“This is not something an educator should have to be talking about,” Lyons says in the long version of the ad. “I shouldn’t have to do this. When I found out that Joe Biden was going to run for president, I was excited, because I trust Joe Biden with gun issues.”

The other ad in the series, “Troubled Soul,” highlights a clip of speech Biden gave in which he criticizes the fact that children in America have to be taught how to “duck and cover” at school.

Biden’s campaign told The Hill that the advertisements are part of an ongoing $4 million ad buy in the Hawkeye State. The spokesperson from the campaign also said the ads target potential caucusgoers that could have a vested interest in gun control. Hulu, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram will feature the two ads.

The former Delaware senator’s gun control plan released last year includes a renewed ban on assault weapons and enhanced background checks.

Biden has long been an advocate for stricter gun control. While he was vice president, he led a task force that recommended nearly two dozen executive orders to former President Obama following the 2011 Sandy Hook massacre.

The poll shows Biden with the support of 25 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents from across the nation who were surveyed. Sanders takes the No. 2 spot, with the support of 19 percent.

While Biden still holds the lead, his support dropped by 5 points since Quinnipiac’s last national poll was released in December. Sanders, meanwhile, gained 3 points since the last survey.

Still, there’s evidence that the Democratic field remains fluid. Only 35 percent of Democratic and Democratic-leaning respondents said they had made up their mind on who they will support in the primary contest. Another 63 percent said they could still change their minds.

Warren and Sanders are the most frequently named second-choice candidates. Nineteen percent of respondents said they would vote for Warren if they could not for their first choice, while 18 percent said Sanders was their No. 2 pick. Biden was the second choice of about 13 percent of those surveyed.

The Quinnipiac national poll came days after a Des Moines Register-CNN survey of likely Democratic caucusgoers in Iowa showed Sanders leading the pack in the Hawkeye State. A Monmouth University Poll survey of Iowa Democrats released on Monday showed Biden leading in the state, followed by Sanders, Buttigieg and Warren.

How the Iowa caucuses shake out — as well as the other early nominating contests in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — could reshape the Democratic primary field at the national level, especially if voters start lining up behind those candidates who see success in the early states.

The Quinnipiac poll surveyed 651 Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent voters from Jan. 8-12. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

During a conversation, published Thursday, about his work for the firm, Times opinion writer Binyamin Appelbaum asserted that the former mayor had “direct experience” with the issues over which many younger Americans feel resentment toward older generations, pointing both to his service in the military and his time at McKinsey.

“If I can put this question in a slightly different way, you’ve been on the front lines of corporate downsizing. You’ve been on the front lines of corporate price fixing,” Appelbaum told Buttigieg.

“You’ve been on the front of our misadventures in foreign policy. You’ve had direct experience in many of the things that make a lot of young people very angry about the way that this country is operating right now. You don’t seem to embody that anger,” Appelbaum continued after Buttigieg interrupted.

“So the proposition that I’ve been on front lines of corporate price fixing is bullshit. Just to get that out of the way,” Buttigieg responded.

“You worked for a company that was fixing bread prices,” Appelbaum countered.

“No, I worked for a consulting company that had a client that may have been involved in fixing or was apparently in a scandal. I was not aware of the Canadian bread pricing scandal until last night,” Buttigieg said.

Buttigieg revealed last year that he was involved in efforts to help Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws set in-store prices for various items during his time at McKinsey, an admission that drew scrutiny over Loblaws’s involvement in a price-fixing scandal involving the price of bread at its various store locations.

His campaign denied at the time that the 2020 hopeful was involved in the scandal.

“He was part of a team that ran analytics and put together a model to help this supermarket chain determine how much — and in what stores— they could make certain items more affordable in order to gain new customers,” said spokesman Sean Savitt in December.

“We retained McKinsey in 2008 to better understand how we could lower prices for customers across a number of categories,” added Loblaws in a statement. “That was the extent of their work with us during that time.”

When asked specifically if Buttigieg had been involved in the bread price fixing, a spokesman for the company denied that the mayor was involved.

The two 2020 Democratic presidential candidates criticized the president’s response as the threat from the virus expands in the U.S., with the first recorded death from the disease confirmed in Washington state on Saturday.

Biden said on ABC’s “This Week” that his response as president would have been “fundamentally different,” denouncing the administration for previously cutting funding to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention and appointing Vice President Mike PenceMichael (Mike) Richard PencePence posts, deletes photo of Trump campaign staff without face masks, not social distancing Pence threatens to deploy military if Pennsylvania governor doesn’t quell looting Pence on Floyd: ‘No tolerance for racism’ in US MORE to lead the fight against the disease, among other concerns. 

“This has been outrageous the way they proceeded,” he said. “They should let the scientists speak.”

The former vice president also slammed Trump for comments during a rally in South Carolina where the president called the Democrats’ criticism of the coronavirus response “a hoax” and compared it to the impeachment.

“This is not a Democratic hoax,” Biden said. “This is incompetence on the part of the president of the United States at the expense of the country and the world.”

“I see no preparedness other than political talking points, putting someone in charge who is not a scientist and muzzling the scientists,” Joe Biden says on Trump’s response to the coronavirus.

Sanders on the same show also knocked the administration’s reaction to the outbreak, saying that as governments globally are trying to combat the virus, Trump took to South Carolina to “undermine” the Democratic primary, which “blows me away.” 

“How pathetic is it that in the midst of an international health care crisis, you’ve got a president running into South Carolina trying to steal some media attention away from Democrats,” the senator said.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar also appeared on “This Week” Sunday and cautioned against the “partisan sniping that we’re seeing.”

“We don’t need to have this made a political issue,” he said. “We’re in a public health crisis here. We need to all be banding together.”

The coronavirus has infected 72 people in the U.S., among more than 87,000 worldwide. Almost 3,000 have been killed from the virus, with one in the U.S. thus far, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

Les convictions spécistes sont plus marquées chez les auteurs d’actes de cruauté envers les animaux, selon une étude dont les résultats seront publiés prochainement dans une revue américaine de criminologie.

Un spécisme marqué chez les auteurs de violences sur animaux (étude)<br />

Cette étude de grande ampleur, la première du genre en France, a été réalisée par le professeur de psychologie sociale Laurent Bègue (université de Grenoble-Alpes) auprès de 12.344 adolescents âgés de 13 à 18 ans, dont une courte minorité de filles (49,6%).Scolarisés en Isère, ils ont été contactés via leurs établissements et ont rempli des questionnaires anonymement avec l’autorisation de leurs parents.Parmi eux, 7,3% d’entre eux, dont une large majorité de garçons (67,7%), ont admis avoir déjà volontairement fait du mal à un animal; cela s’est produit une seule fois dans 44% des cas (14,7% à deux reprises et 41,3% trois fois ou plus).Ces violences ont concerné surtout des chats (22,5% des réponses) et des chiens (13,9%), ainsi que des poissons (6,4%), des rongeurs (8,2%) et d’autres animaux (37,3%). Dans 54,9% des cas, l’auteur était seul; dans 25% des cas, une autre personne était impliquée et dans 20,1% des cas ils étaient trois ou plus.Cette étude confirme ce que d’autres (anglo-saxonnes) avaient déjà montré: à savoir, qu’un certain nombre de fragilités psychologiques sont constatées chez les auteurs d’actes de cruauté.”Ils sont en moyenne plus touchés par des tendances anxieuses et dépressives, sont moins socialisés et attachés à leur parents, à leurs amis, au monde scolaire, et se montrent également enclins à d’autres déviances (harcèlement, ébriété)“, résume Laurent Bègue.Pour la première fois en revanche, souligne le chercheur, son travail établit un lien avec le spécisme, vision du monde postulant la supériorité de l’homme sur les autres espèces.À la question “la vie d’un être humain a-t-elle plus de valeur que celle d’un animal ?“, les réponses des adolescents font ressortir un niveau d’adhésion plus important chez les auteurs d’actes de cruauté.De même, ceux-ci justifient davantage le recours aux animaux dans la recherche biomédicale, même quand il est synonyme de souffrance, et acceptent plus facilement le “sacrifice” des rats et souris de laboratoire.”La représentation de la valeur des animaux par rapport aux humains est prédictive des actes commis, ce qui est une observation vraiment nouvelle. L’on se tromperait en concevant uniquement la cruauté envers les animaux comme une pathologie individuelle: des représentations collectives sont également  impliquées“, conclut le scientifique. Son étude, “Expliquer les violences animalières chez les adolescents: le rôle du spécisme”, sera publiée prochainement aux États-Unis dans le Journal of Interpersonal Violence.Click Here: cd universidad catolica
