The World Economic Forum published a report on high temperatures and mental health on July 14, citing more than 10 studies from countries around the world. The report highlighted how extreme heat and humidity are linked to heightened symptoms in people with depression, generalized anxiety disorder and bipolar disorder, according to a 2020 study out of the United Kingdom.
ISTANBUL (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan were due on Friday to oversee the signing of a key agreement that would allow Ukraine to resume its shipment of grain from the Black Sea to world markets and Russia to export grain and fertilizers — ending a standoff that has threatened world food security.
Last week, the sides reached a tentative agreement on a U.N. plan that would enable Ukraine to export 22 million tons of desperately needed grain and other agricultural products that have been stuck in Ukraine’s Black Sea ports due to the war. The unblocking of the grain stockpiles will help ease a food crisis that has sent prices of vital commodities like wheat and barley soaring.
Ottawa residents should consider limiting in-person contact and businesses should consider requiring customers to wear masks indoors to protect the most vulnerable during what’s become a concerning seventh wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, the city’s medical officer of health urged Thursday.
“But the issue isn’t the fact that our schools aren’t safe, the issue is the fact that it’s guns and the problem is we should not have semi-automatic weapons in anything other than warfare,” Axne said during the tele-town hall on July 6.
“So here is the deal, they need to go away, and I will continue to push for that and to continue to push for the bills that we tried to get into our Protecting Our Kids Act which was the one we had out of our House side that didn’t make it through in the Senate,” Axne added.
As most adults recognize, human relationships can take on many forms. A similar principle can be applied to relations between government and its citizens. Some are healthy and productive, while others are steeped in toxicity.
In an authentic democracy, government are mandated to maximize benefits to the general public. Their purpose is one of management– to optimize well being in key categories– socially, economically, culturally. Stability is based on relative affinity between government and the people.
Authoritarian states are founded on different principles. The goal of government is one of social conformity. To control not only behaviour, but human thought, is an ideal within totalitarian societies.
Facial recognition technology could be used to make these “contactless corridors” possible, British newspaper The Times reports. It would require international travellers to submit biographic and biometric details, like photos of their faces through the new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme before they fly.

Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) trustee Karen Meissner is promoting a “binding” workshop for this Saturday at the Kitchener public library.
Human rights campaigner Lord Alton of Liverpool told the House of Lords how the Russian military is stealing Ukrainian grain, destroying the country’s agricultural infrastructure and blockading its ports on the Black Sea, preventing exportation via that route.
Meanwhile, 400 million people are said to be dependent on grain imported from Ukraine, sometimes referred to as “the breadbasket of Europe”.

West Lincoln Councillor and truck driver Harold Jonker has been reprimanded by his town council for participating in the Freedom Convoy protests earlier this year.
The law firm Aird & Berlis LLP published a Jul. 12 report on Jonker’s actions finding him to break the code of conduct on two counts.
Jonker was cited for requiring a duty of loyalty to residents and accepting gifts or benefits. The investigation focused on Jonker’s involvement in leading the Niagara convoy.
The Charest campaign has been a masterclass in gaslighting.
On one hand, the campaign talks endlessly about “unity” and overcoming “divisiveness.”
On the other hand, it relentlessly attacks the views and perspectives held by the majority of Canadian Conservatives.
Charest’s argument has basically been that unity means he wins and Conservatives submit to his worldview, and anything other than that is ‘divisive.’
This argument is – at the core – deeply illogical.
Haldimand-Norfolk MP and Conservative Party leadership candidate Dr. Leslyn Lewis released a statement yesterday going after both the Liberal Party and legacy media’s “racist narratives” about minority Canadians. Dr. Lewis when she calls what these groups do “racist” is referring to the way they view minority voters as a block that all vote the same.

A soon-to-be-built Virginia elementary school will have one of the state’s first sets of genderless bathrooms, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The plans for the construction of John M. Gandy Elementary School in Ashland, Virginia, feature bathrooms to be shared by both girls and boys, with stall partitions reaching from the ground to the ceiling, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. The school is set to open in 2024 with the genderless bathrooms for second through fifth graders.
As I wrap up the final chapters for the upcoming book “Lies My Gov’t Told Me: And the Better Future Coming”, I am having to grapple with many of the most difficult issues. And of those, the corruption and lies told concerning the documents submitted by Pfizer and Moderna as well as the subsequent responses by the FDA weigh most heavily on my heart and soul. Just to recap, on May 30, 2021 I had published a piece on Trial Site News concerning the Bioethics issues, titled “Bioethics of Experimental COVID Vaccine Deployment under EUA: It’s time we stop and look at what’s going down.” I also composed another article that was published on May. 28, 2021, entitled “Did Pfizer Fail to Perform industry Standard Animal Testing Prior to Initiation of mRNA Clinical Trials?” Of course, both Trial Site News and myself were slandered, defamed and gaslighted by “factcheckers” at the time, but we have all come to learn that these “factcheckers” are really just paid narrative reinforcers.
Violent Antifa extremist Alissa Azar revealed on Wednesday that Facebook is reportedly cooperating with the FBI to provide them with personal messages and emails from Antifascist activists that are currently under investigation by law enforcement.

Chinese mega-projects, both at home and abroad, are not only a vehicle for corruption. They are a deadly public hazard.
Over the past few weeks, several regions in southern, eastern, and central China have experienced torrential rains and large-scale flooding. Affected regions include Hubei province, where Wuhan (the epicenter of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic) is located. So far, more than 140 people have died and over 200,000 people have been displaced from towns, where the floods have damaged houses and other infrastructure. Overall, an estimated 37 million people have been affected by these floods. Economic losses arising from this are estimated to be around $3 billion and might rise further if the situation continues deteriorating.
Central Intelligence Agency director William Burns criticized the Russian government on Wednesday for attempting to purchase drones from Iran, suggesting that the move was an indication of the poor state of Russia’s armed forces.
“It’s true that the Russians are reaching out to the Iranians to try to acquire armed drones,” the CIA director and longtime U.S. diplomat said during his remarks at the Aspen Security Forum in Aspen, Colorado—confirming earlier reports that Russia had attempted to purchase drones from Tehran. Some Western experts had treated these claims with skepticism, noting Russia’s traditional role as an arms exporter to Iran rather than the opposite.
Progress has given way to bubbling madness
The countryside is on fire, The Guardian has published another article about replacing meat with mould grown in vats, and the World Economic Forum wants to block out the sun with a Brazil-sized raft of space bubbles. This isn’t the Great Reset; it’s a mood. A vibe.
Walking the dog at dusk on Tuesday through local woodland, I noticed wilting hazel saplings, poplars shedding foliage, dry yellow leaves crunching underfoot like it’s September. The ground is bone-dry. The wheat in neighbouring fields has ripened a month early.
At Wesley Yang’s Year Zero substack site, a left-leaning public teacher in a leftist school district published an article describing just how crazy things really are in such schools. While your children may be behind in reading, writing, and arithmetic, it’s clear they’re getting an extra-large dose of hard-left racism (and probably gender theory and America-hatred, although the essay doesn’t touch on those things). If you have children or grandchildren in public schools, or you simply care about America’s future, you should read that essay and then pay close attention to your next school board election.
The essay, entitled “Yes, Things Are Really as Bad as You’ve Heard,” sounds like one of the more outlandish Babylon Bee parodies.
