Province: Sipekne’katik First Nation should blame itself for lack of consultation over Alton Gas project
A lawyer for the Province of Nova Scotia says the Sipekne’katik First Nation has no one but itself to blame when it argues there was “inadequate consultation” with the government over the Alton Gas decision. The First Nation opposes the development of natural gas storage caverns at Alton, a $130 million project that was approved […]

Why It Makes Sense To Refer To Comcast-TV As MSDNC
Bernie wants MSNBC to treat his campaign more fairly. And he's asked the station's top brass to do just that. But maybe that's a mistake. The more unfairly the #NeverTrump Republicans who dominate the MSNBC talking heads team treat Bernie, the higher his polling goes and the more contributions come rolling in. After the New Hampshire primary, Ari Melber-- one of the few MSNBC hosts who is neither a #NeverTrump Republican nor a biased anti-working class bigot-- asked a Democratic voter why she had voted for Bernie and she responded that it was in response to MSNBC's anti-Bernie cov... more »
Why Beauty Matters? Roger Scruton
I just finished reading Roger Scruton’s book *Beauty: A Very Short Introduction*. What I find noteworthy in this book is the idea that the sense of beauty is something that we acquire through our traditions and culture and then pass on. A judgement about beauty is, in essence, a quest for consensus in a community. Scruton’s conservatism is not devoted solely to politics; it has implications for beauty, art, and truth. He has also presented a hour long video titled *Why Beauty Matters*. However, I found the book to be better than his video:

*Kentucky Poised to Advance School Choice* At his State of the Union address last week, President Trump highlighted the need for school choice across America, and rightly so. There is nobody who knows better what education is most suitable for their children than parents and the student themselves. Certainly, the government does not know best and we should do all we can to put this decision in the hands of those closest to the students in our communities. One such state that is looking to expand school choice is the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Currently, there are two companion bills... more »
Politics and censorship: as always, follow the money
Two incidents - one local, one international - have confirmed yet again the ancient and time-honored truth: *if you want to know who or what is behind something, follow the money.* Even if it isn't immediately visible, the financial story tells the real story, if you can only uncover it. The first incident involves Attorney-General Barr. You may recall that last weekend, over a thousand former Justice Department prosecutors and employees signed an open letter calling on him to resign because of his various and sundry misdeeds. The Federalist, doing its usual good job of digging... more »

Holocaust denial
When I heard that David Baddiel was making this film for the BBC, I did wonder if a notoriously pro-Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation and a comedian could really make a credible job of such a delicate subject. After all, does Baddiel look much like an historian? (Does he even look much like a comedian?) And is the BBC an honest broker all of a sudden? Alarm bells went off when I heard Baddiel was off to see a Professor from the SOAS. Whose idea was that? The SOAS’s reputation (as a wing of Islamophillic academia) didn’t auger well for the programme's prospects. Achcar’s contrib... more »

If a Parent Doesn’t Get Treatment for a Depressed Teenager Is That Abuse?
*Michael Shapiro* *Health, * Teenage depression is a serious and lonely illness, sometimes leading to suicide. Hospital visits for kids in the U.S. who have contemplated or thought about suicide have risen sharply. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I am not surprised. For years, I ran a child psychiatric hospital, where we treat kids after they attempt suicide. Usually, by the time I diagnose a teenager with depression, it is almost too late. Almost. It’s estimated that one in five teens will have depression, but two-thirds of them will go undiagnosed. Lack of screening f... more »

How African Bats Could Be Crucial to Understanding Coronavirus
*Wanda Markotter* *Public Health, Africa* [image: Reuters] Why bats could help us understand coronavirus better. The current outbreak of a new coronavirus disease, named COVID-19, raises the question of where diseases like this come from and where the risks lie. By the middle of February almost 2000 people had died in this outbreak, which has also had a global economic impact. It is clear that the virus may have an animal reservoir. In other words, it may be permanently found in a host species of animal, where it does not normally cause disease. Viruses can spill over from the h... more »
Could Your iPhone Be Cause Global Warming? New Research Say Yes.
*Lotfi Belkhir* *Technology, World* Let's take a closer look. When we think about climate change, the main sources of carbon emissions that come to mind for most of us are heavy industries like petroleum, mining and transportation. Rarely do we point the finger at computer technologies. In fact, many experts view the cyber-world of information and computer technologies (ICT) as our potential saviour, replacing many of our physical activities with a lower-carbon virtual alternative. That is not what our study, recently published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, suggests. H... more »

It was the Japanese admiral who planned the Pearl Harbor operation. But the motive was the same: payback for a sneak attack on the United States. In early 1943, Adm.
