And then, a flash of fire, passing us, hooking us in its trail, pulling us along with it, a tiny meteorite plunging down into earth’s atmosphere... WE FOLLOW IT Down burning through night sky, clouds, then out over the ocean, plunging into the water with a burst of steam. After a moment, there’s another plop, another burst of steam. And then, like raindrops, hundreds of tiny fragments begin striking the ocean, when suddenly- A HUGE fireball, CRASHING INTO THE OCEAN- dragging us under- Revealing a title, coming up slowly, from the murky depths... POWER RANGERS SLAM TO: A dead fish. Out on the beach. Dozens...no, hundreds; it’s a mass wash-up, disgusting, covering the beach of idyllic ANGEL GROVE, California, as far as the eye can see. School buses are parked next to the beach; it’s a big volunteer clean-up, people everywhere. We’re near a carnival pier, the centerpiece of which is a huge, colorful, old-fasioned ferris wheel. A sign reads “WELCOME TO ANGEL GROVE, HOME TO AMERICA’S 4TH 5TH LARGEST FERRIS WHEEL!” The pier is clearly currently closed. JASON Scott, 17, kneels next to a shark. Jason’s alpha male good-looks and natural athleticism are dampened by an immediate aloofness; he’s rough around the edges, anxious. JASON Look at the teeth on this guy.

Speaking to graduating students in nursing and law programs, she offered some mental health advice: As you begin your careers, I invite you to remember three simple things. First, go out into the community to find out what mental health resources exist…before you need them. Second, socialize the issue of mental health among your peers. They may need your support. The unique stresses on lawyers and nurses are as great or greater than any other profession. Fatigue, burnout, family stress, and coping behaviours including alcohol and drugs are quite prevalent in highly trained professionals. Be open and listen to each other. Third, be honest with yourself. You are entering a profession with notoriously high demands and are a precious Canadian Photo credit: Sgt Ronald Duchesne, Rideau Hall resource that we cannot afford to see damaged. It is right and © OSGG-BSGG (2014) honourable to ask for help if you need it. Set a leading example by summoning the courage to seek assistance early. Then learn from that experience in ways you can share. So there it is. Just three bits of advice, really. Where mental health is concerned, be informed, support your peers, and be kind to yourself. You can’t go wrong.

According to an article in the National Post, tickets for the event cost $1,500. You can see that article at: http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/justin-trudeau-fundraiser- picketed-by-jewish-group-over-liberals-support-for-iran-nuclear-deal. At the time of the event, Apotex was registered to lobby the House of Commons (which means it confirmed that it was lobbying at least some MPs, possibly including Mr. Trudeau) and Mr. Sherman was included as a registered lobbyist in that registration. Currently, Apotex (including Mr. Sherman), along with several consultant lobbyists it has hired since March 1, 2016, are all registered to lobby the Prime Minister’s Office. The consultant lobbyists registered to lobby the Prime Minister’s Office on behalf of Apotex are Aaron Dobbin, John Duffy, Andrew Steele, Brian Teefy and Danya Vered (all five work at StrategyCorp Inc.), as well as Lester Scheininger.
