A spectacular storm system visible from space!

Two giant storms swept across Canada in a rare weather event and, according to The Weather Network, these systems, of unprecedented magnitude and size, also created a unique and breathtaking event as seen from space.

Satellite images captured this unique phenomenon, as the two huge low-pressure systems that formed off the coast of Canada came together, with the entire country falling under the clouds formed by these unusual weather systems.

These systems will continue to cause a range of weather phenomena in the majority of Canadian provinces and territories, bringing high winds and heavy snowfall.

And the El Niño phenomenon, which is in the middle of this climatic frenzy, will continue to influence Canadian temperatures this winter, as it brings weather disturbances and unusual frosts.

The lingering effect of El Niño could mean that western Canada will remain relatively warm, while eastern Canada could experience harsher-than-normal seasonal weather.

Experts worry about triple threat of respiratory viruses

As winter sets in, health experts are expressing concern that viral infections such as COVID-19, RSV and seasonal flu are having an unusually difficult season in this country.

The expected increase in viral activity comes at a time when healthcare systems are already under pressure from staff shortages and high occupancy rates.

The RSV era began in September last year and has been attributed in part to a decline in immunity in the general population due to social isolation, as well as to other COVID-19 prevention measures.

Admissions and deaths due to COVID-19 are low, but flu cases are on the rise, according to the Public Health Agency of Canada, and the situation in pediatric hospital emergency rooms is worrisome, particularly among children presenting with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection.

Holiday gatherings will certainly facilitate the transmission of viruses from younger family members to their elders, which is of particular concern to health professionals.

The convergence of influenza, COVID and RSV could trigger a viral chain reaction that could prove devastating.

Trudeau’s government reached a historic agreement with Google, how did they do it?

Google and the Canadian government have reached a $100 million agreement on the controversial Bill C-18, also known as the Online Information Act.

https://twitter.com/tvanouvelles/status/1729890106813944251

After months of negotiations, Google will continue to provide Canadian information on its various platforms, as Google has reportedly agreed to pay Canadian media companies $100 million a year to help them comply with the agreement.

Details of the application and implementation of this settlement had not yet been revealed at the time of writing, while Minister St. Onge would make the official announcement on Parliament Hill.

https://twitter.com/CTVNews/status/1729898810686509311

Google had initially expressed serious concerns about the bill, which the company described as a link tax that, according to Google, would have threatened the basis on which search engines have operated for over thirty years.

Google threatened to remove Canadian news articles from its search results in protest at the proposed regulations. This would have had a considerable impact on the accessibility of online information for Canadians, after Facebook had implemented the same threats earlier this year.

The announcement of this landmark agreement is a major development for Canadian information after a period of uncertainty, particularly over a future settlement with Meta, the giant behind Facebook and Instagram.

The agreement with Google was reached just before the December 19 deadline, when Bill C-18 will be implemented.
