Trump’s appointees have criticized Trudeau, Canada’s border security – National

Donald Trump’s second administration is filling up with some of his most loyal supporters and many of the people landing top jobs have been critical of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and security at Canada’s border. One expert says there are not many Canadian allies, so far, in the president-elect’s court.“I don’t see a whole lot of friends of Canada in there,” said Fen Hampson, a professor of international affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa and co-chair of the Expert Group on Canada-U.S. Relations.As the Republican leader starts making crucial decisions about his administration, designations for foreign policy and border positions have sent signals to Canada, and the rest of the world, about America’s path forward. ...

Barron Trump’s return to the online arena: From bullied child to brains behind the bro-vote

Despite his hulking stature, Barron keeps a relatively low profile. He hasn’t given any interviews and there is much speculation around what his voice is like nowadays. As a child Barron sounded much like his mother who is from Slovenia. “He spend most of the time with me, so,” Melania explained on CNN in 2010. A video resurfaced recently of a four-year-old Barron running around his father’s office, saying “I like my suitcase!” in a thick Slavic accent, before adding “I have to go to school now.” He goes up to his father who says “I want all A’s!” as he kisses him goodbye. ”And when you get older, what are you going to remember?” he asks, waggling a finger. “No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes. And! You know what else? No tattoos. I don’t ever want to see tattoos on you.”  Source link...

Can air pollution cause Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Irritable Bowel Disorder? D

Almost a week after Diwali, Delhi still continues to battle with air pollution because it is still in the ‘very poor’ category as of November 9 with an AQI of 360. Mumbai, on the other hand, is now in the ‘moderate’ range, after recording ‘poor’ just after the festival. While air pollution is known to harm the respiratory report, it does a lot more to the body, and particularly the digestive system, which you may not even be aware of shunning it for a regular bout of stomach issues.  A recent report by IANS highlighted how Delhi doctors had noted there were rising cases of digestive issues like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Irritable Bowel Disorder (IBD). While Mumbai doctors say there have been cases in the last few years, there is a possibility of them increasing in the future with...

Sex, abstinence and Trump: What is the 4B movement?

Women in the US protest president-elect Donald Trump ahead of his first presidency in 2017. Photo: AFP A potential protest movement is emerging online - or at least it is being talked about online - following Donald Trump's re-election to the US presidency. Some American women on social media say they are taking inspiration from the South Korean feminist movement known as 4B where women "decentralise" men in their lives. This means no heterosexual dating, sex or marriage and saying no to childbearing. Not only is it viewed as a protest, but one born out of necessity, according to those who say they are adopting the stance. Trump's re-election could mean abortion rights in the US will be further eroded. Some also fear that the fringe conservative blueprint Project 2025, which advocates f...
