As this was a new experience for our club, the executive members held a test Zoom meeting to ensure things would run smoothly. Everyone was glad to see each other on video, and the test meeting went well with minimal interruptions. Unfortunately, there were many of the member’s favou- rite 4-H activities cancelled this spring. These included the Battle Lake Work-Bee Clean-Up in Westerose, 4-H on Parade, and our year-end meeting with pizza and banana splits. Although everyone was disappointed, members are doing their best to adjust to the interrup- tions by finishing up their record books and completing online workshops. The club historian is also working on putting together club profiles that include member’s pictures beside their own personalized write up to add to the club history book. He also creates a slide show of photos to commemorate the year. This presentation is shown at Achievement Day and our open house in the fall. Rather than the 4-H on Parade clothing that is usually available, members are now able to order unique 4-H clothing that is available to everyone in Alberta. These items were designed as an opportunity for 4-H’ers and their families to connect with some fun clothing piec- es, as well as to commemorate the 2020 4-H experi- ence. Some of the fun slogans include: ‘I’m sorry I ate all the quarantine snacks’, ‘2020: The year we pledged our health to better living for our club our community, our country and our world’, and ‘4-H hair don’t care’. The 2019-2020 4-H year is one we will not forget!

    REPORT FEDERAL POLITICS st DATE FebruaryNUMÉRO1 DE, 2020 PROJET METHODOLOGY METHODOLOGY Web survey using computer-assisted Web interviewing (CAWI) technology. From January 29th to January 30th, 2020 1,501 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel. Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population. No margin of error can be associated with a non-probability sample (Web panel in this case). However for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 1,501 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2.53%, 19 times out of 20. The research results presented here are in full compliance with the CRIC Public Opinion Research Standards and Disclosure Requirements. 2 METHODOLOGY Notes on Reading this Report The numbers presented have been rounded up. However, the numbers before rounding were used to calculate the sums presented and might therefore not correspond to the manual addition of these numbers. In this report, data in bold red characters indicate a significantly lower proportion than that of other respondents. Conversely, data in bold green characters indicate a significantly higher proportion that that of other respondents. A more detailed methodology is presented in the appendix.

Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

    Parliamentary Internship Programme 2020-21 Annual Report Annual General Meeting Canadian Political Science Association June 11, 2021 Dr. Paul Thomas Director Web: pip-psp.org Twitter: @PIP_PSP Instagram: @pip-psp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ParlInternship/ PIP Annual Report 2021 Director’s Message I am delighted to present the Parliamentary Internship Programme’s (PIP) 2020-21 Annual Report to the Canadian Political Science Association (CPSA). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the experience of the 2020-21 internship cohort relative to previous years. Such changes began with a mostly-virtual orientation in September, and continued with remote work in their MP placements, virtual study tours, and Brown-Bag lunches over Zoom. Yet while limiting some aspects of the PIP experience, the pandemic provided opportunities as well. The interns took full advantage of the virtual format to meet with academics, politicians, and other public figures who were inaccessible to previous cohorts relying on in-person meetings. They also learned new skills for online engagement that will serve them well in the hybrid work environment that is emerging as COVID-19 recedes. One thing the pandemic could not change was the steadfast support of the PIP’s various partners. We are greatly indebted to our sponsors who chose to prioritize their contributions to PIPs despite the many pressures they faced. In addition to their usual responsibilities for the Programme, both the PIP’s House of Commons Liasion, Scott Lemoine, and the Programme Assistant, Melissa Carrier, also worked tirelessly to ensure that the interns were kept up to date on the changing COVID guidance within the parliamentary preccinct, and to ensure that they had access to the resources they needed for remote work.

    Trudeau Attacks Calls to Close Borders: “There Is a Lot of Knee-Jerk Reaction That Isn’T Keeping People Safe”

    The road to Canada's COVID-19 outbreak, Pt. 3: timeline of federal government failure at border to slow the virus Author of the article: David Staples • Edmonton Journal Publishing date: April 3, 2020 • 29 minute read Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks from behind a podium bearing the hyperlink to a federal government website about the coronavirus disease during a press conference about COVID-19 in front of his residence at Rideau Cottage in Ottawa, on Sunday, March 22, 2020. JUSTIN TANG / THE CANADIAN PRESS Pt. 3, March: Trudeau attacks calls to close borders: “There is a lot of knee-jerk reaction that isn’t keeping people safe” COVID-19 exploded upon the world in March 2020, shutting down much of the economy in Europe and North America by mid-month, just as it had already done in Asia in January and February. But early in the month, the Liberal government in Ottawa clung to the notion that it must not close its borders to travellers, or quarantine them when they arrived, even as that was by then standard practice in Asia, and even as infection brought in by travellers were spreading in Canadian towns and cities. Yet by the end of the month, the Liberal policy did a complete about-face, shutting down our borders. In Parts 1 and 2, we looked at the multi-partisan in effort to dig in and question Canada‟s border policies on COVID-19. In Part. 3 of our series, the timeline is extended into March, detailing the key quotes and debates leading to the federal policy change.

In light of recent developments around COVID-19 and the waves of cancellations as a result of bans on mass gatherings, Opera.ca is urgently requesting federal aid on behalf of the Canadian opera sector and its artists -- its most essential and vulnerable people -- while pledging its own emergency support for artists in desperate need. Opera artists are the heart of the opera sector, and their economic survival is in jeopardy. In response to the dire need captured by a recent survey conducted by Opera.ca, the board of directors of Opera.ca today voted for an Opera Artists Emergency Relief Fund to be funded by the association. Further details will be announced shortly. Of the 14 professional opera companies in Canada, almost all have cancelled their current production and some the remainder of the season. This is an unprecedented crisis with long-reaching implications for the entire Canadian opera sector.

We believe in hard work, we believe in sharing, we believe in doing the right thing and we want government to leave us the hell alone and stay out of our way. We are somewhat unique in wanting government to leave us alone. Generally, our country is left of centre in its politics and “free” stuff is the order of the day. We are pissed with the way every politician kowtows to Quebec (including the Conservatives) but would we not be better off accepting the reality that the squeaky wheel gets the grease and learn from Quebec? They have played us brilliantly. $13.1 billion in equalization payment this past year, special rules that apply only to them (see their Bill 21 as an example) and a veto over pipelines even Erin O’Toole supports (Click here). We may not like his politics but we could sure use a guy like Blanchet in Western Canada. You know where he stands and he makes no apologies. He could care less about the rest of Canada – he only cares about Quebec. Applying the rule in golf that you have to – “play the ball where it lies” - to our political situation, we have to accept it for what it is and try to figure out a realistic way to deal with it.
