According to the ancient philosopher Plato, Atlantis was an advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time, around 11,000 years ago. Atlantis was said to be a powerful and prosperous empire, with magnificent architecture, advanced technology, and a highly developed society. Plato described Atlantis as a large island located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," which are believed to be the modern-day Strait of Gibraltar. It was said to be ruled by ten powerful kings who controlled a vast territory. However, due to their greed and arrogance, the Atlanteans were eventually defeated by an Athenian army and were submerged beneath the ocean, vanishing completely. The story of Atlantis has sparked countless theories and speculation about its actual existence. Some believe Atlantis was once a real place that fell victim to a catastrophic event, such as a volcanic eruption or earthquake. Others view it as purely a mythological tale, serving as a moral lesson about the consequences of hubris. Despite numerous attempts to locate Atlantis, no concrete evidence has been found to confirm its existence.

REUTERS

One of the world's most common artificial sweeteners is set to be declared a possible carcinogen next month by a leading global health body, according to two sources with knowledge of the process, pitting it against the food industry and regulators.

Aspartame, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum and some Snapple drinks, will be listed in July as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" for the first time by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Health Organization's (WHO) cancer research arm, the sources told Reuters.

The IARC ruling, finalised earlier this month after a meeting of the group's external experts, is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not, based on all the published evidence.

It does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume. This advice for individuals comes from a separate WHO expert committee on food additives, known as JECFA (the Joint WHO and Food and Agriculture Organization's Expert Committee on Food Additives), alongside determinations from national regulators.

However, similar IARC rulings in the past for different substances have raised concerns among consumers about their use, led to lawsuits, and pressured manufacturers to recreate recipes and swap to alternatives. That has led to criticism that the IARC's assessments can be confusing to the public.

JECFA, the WHO committee on additives, is also reviewing aspartame use this year. Its meeting began at the end of June and it is due to announce its findings on the same day that the IARC makes public its decision – on July 14.

Since 1981, JECFA has said aspartame is safe to consume within accepted daily limits. For example, an adult weighing 60 kg (132 pounds) would have to drink between 12 and 36 cans of diet soda – depending on the amount of aspartame in the beverage – every day to be at risk. Its view has been widely shared by national regulators, including in the United States and Europe.

An IARC spokesperson said both the IARC and JECFA committees' findings were confidential until July, but added they were "complementary", with IARC's conclusion representing "the first fundamental step to understand carcinogenicity". The additives committee "conducts risk assessment, which determines the probability of a specific type of harm (e.g. cancer) to occur under certain conditions and levels of exposure."

However, industry and regulators fear that holding both processes at around the same time could be confusing, according to letters from U.S. and Japanese regulators seen by Reuters.

"We kindly ask both bodies to coordinate their efforts in reviewing aspartame to avoid any confusion or concerns among the public," Nozomi Tomita, an official from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, wrote in a letter dated March 27 to WHO's deputy director general, Zsuzsanna Jakab.

The letter also called for the conclusions of both bodies to be released on the same day, as is now happening. The Japanese mission in Geneva, where the WHO is based, did not respond to a request for comment.

DEBATE

The IARC's rulings can have huge impact. In 2015, its committee concluded that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic". Years later, even as other bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) contested this, companies were still feeling the effects of the decision.

Germany’s Bayer (BAYGn.DE) in 2021 lost its third appeal against U.S. court verdicts that awarded damages to customers blaming their cancers on use of its glyphosate-based weedkillers.

The IARC's decisions have also faced criticism for sparking needless alarm over hard to avoid substances or situations. It has four different levels of classification - carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic, possibly carcinogenic and not classifiable. The levels are based on the strength of the evidence, rather than how dangerous a substance is.

The first group includes substances from processed meat to asbestos, which all have convincing evidence showing they cause cancer, IARC says.

Working overnight and consuming red meat are in the "probable" class, which means that there is limited evidence these substances or situations can cause cancer in humans and either better evidence showing they cause cancer in animals, or strong evidence showing that they have similar characteristics as other human carcinogens.

The "radiofrequency electromagnetic fields" associated with using mobile phones are "possibly cancer-causing". Like aspartame, this means there is either limited evidence they can cause cancer in humans, sufficient evidence in animals, or strong evidence about the characteristics.

The final group - "not classifiable" - means there is not enough evidence.

"IARC is not a food safety body and their review of aspartame is not scientifically comprehensive and is based heavily on widely discredited research," Frances Hunt-Wood, secretary general of the International Sweeteners Association (ISA), said.

The body, whose members include Mars Wrigley, a Coca-Cola (KO.N) unit and Cargill, said it had "serious concerns with the IARC review, which may mislead consumers".

The International Council of Beverages Associations' executive director Kate Loatman said public health authorities should be "deeply concerned" by the "leaked opinion", and also warned it "could needlessly mislead consumers into consuming more sugar rather than choosing safe no- and low-sugar options."

Aspartame has been extensively studied for years. Last year, an observational study in France among 100,000 adults showed that people who consumed larger amounts of artificial sweeteners – including aspartame – had a slightly higher cancer risk. It followed a study from the Ramazzini Institute in Italy in the early 2000s, which reported that some cancers in mice and rats were linked to aspartame.

However, the first study could not prove that aspartame caused the increased cancer risk, and questions have been raised about the methodology of the second study, including by EFSA, which assessed it.

Aspartame is authorised for use globally by regulators who have reviewed all the available evidence, and major food and beverage makers have for decades defended their use of the ingredient. The IARC said it had assessed 1,300 studies in its June review.

Recent recipe tweaks by soft drinks giant Pepsico (PEP.O) demonstrate the struggle the industry has when it comes to balancing taste preferences with health concerns. Pepsico removed aspartame from sodas in 2015, bringing it back a year later, only to remove it again in 2020.

Listing aspartame as a possible carcinogen is intended to motivate more research, said the sources close to the IARC, which will help agencies, consumers and manufacturers draw firmer conclusions.

But it will also likely ignite debate once again over the IARC's role, as well as the safety of sweeteners more generally.

Last month, the WHO published guidelines advising consumers not to use non-sugar sweeteners for weight control. The guidelines caused a furore in the food industry, which argues they can be helpful for consumers wanting to reduce the amount of sugar in their diet.

A Psychologist Explains This Common But Creepy Phenomenonhttp://www.xzbn.net

Definition: Déjà vu is a French term that translates to "already seen." It refers to the phenomenon of experiencing a moment or situation that feels like a repetition or a memory, even though there is no logical explanation for having encountered it before.

Sensations and Experiences: During a déjà vu episode, individuals may feel a strong sense of familiarity, as if they have seen or experienced the current situation before. This can include details such as specific sights, sounds, conversations, or even the overall atmosphere. The experience is often fleeting and can vary in intensity and duration.

Frequency and Causes: Déjà vu is relatively common, with studies suggesting that approximately 60-80% of people have experienced it at least once in their lives. The exact cause of déjà vu is not fully understood. There are several theories, including memory-related explanations, such as a glitch in the brain's memory retrieval process, or a temporary overlap between short-term and long-term memory.

Relationship to Memory: Déjà vu is often associated with memory and can be linked to memory-related processes in the brain. However, it is important to note that déjà vu is not a reliable indicator of an actual past experience. It is a subjective feeling that can occur even in situations where no prior memory exists.

Variations and Similar Phenomena: Déjà vu can manifest in different forms, such as déjà vécu (already lived), which involves not just the sense of familiarity but also a feeling of reliving an entire experience. There are also related phenomena, such as jamais vu (never seen), where a familiar situation feels completely unfamiliar, and presque vu (almost seen), where an individual is on the verge of remembering something but cannot fully recall it.

Déjà vu remains a fascinating and mysterious phenomenon that has intrigued researchers, psychologists, and the general public for many years. While there are theories and hypotheses to explain it, the true nature and underlying mechanisms of déjà vu are still subject to ongoing scientific exploration and debate.

Historical Background: Witchcraft has a long history dating back to ancient times. It has been practiced in different forms by various cultures around the world. In many societies, witches were believed to possess supernatural abilities and could influence events, heal, curse, or communicate with spirits.

Beliefs and Practices: Witchcraft encompasses a wide range of beliefs and practices. It may involve working with herbs, crystals, divination tools, and incantations. Some practitioners follow specific religious or spiritual paths, such as Wicca, while others practice witchcraft independently or as part of their cultural traditions.

Stereotypes and Misconceptions: Throughout history, witchcraft has often been associated with negative stereotypes and fears, leading to persecution, witch-hunts, and witch trials. Many of these perceptions were based on misunderstandings, superstitions, and societal anxieties. It's important to distinguish between the actual practices and beliefs of individuals involved in witchcraft and the stereotypes perpetuated by popular culture.

Modern Witchcraft: In contemporary times, there has been a revival and reimagining of witchcraft, often associated with alternative spirituality, personal empowerment, and connection with nature. Modern witchcraft movements, such as Wicca and neo-paganism, have gained popularity and have their own distinct practices, rituals, and beliefs.

Diversity and Interpretations: Witchcraft is a diverse and fluid practice, with different interpretations and traditions existing within and across cultures. It can be seen as a spiritual path, a form of personal empowerment, a way to connect with nature, or a means of exploring and understanding the mysteries of the universe.

It's important to note that witchcraft is a deeply personal and individual practice, and the beliefs and practices associated with it can vary widely. It is crucial to approach the subject with an open mind, respect for different perspectives, and a commitment to understanding the cultural, historical, and personal contexts in which witchcraft is practiced.

Letter Formation: Cursive writing typically uses a continuous stroke to form each letter. The letters are joined together, creating a smooth and uninterrupted flow. Some letters, such as "a," "d," and "g," have loops or tails that extend below the baseline.

Benefits of Cursive Writing: Cursive writing offers several advantages. It can enhance writing speed and efficiency since the connected letters allow for quicker pen movement. Cursive writing is also believed to improve fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and overall penmanship.

Styles of Cursive Writing: There are different styles of cursive writing, including D'Nealian, Palmer Method, Zaner-Bloser, and Spencerian. Each style has its own unique letterforms and characteristics, although the overall concept of connected letters remains consistent.

Learning Cursive: Traditionally, cursive writing was taught in schools as part of the curriculum. However, in recent years, the emphasis on cursive writing has diminished in some education systems, with a greater focus on keyboarding skills. Nonetheless, many individuals still choose to learn and use cursive for personal or aesthetic reasons.

Use of Cursive Writing: Cursive writing is often used for personal correspondence, formal invitations, signatures, and artistic purposes. It can add an elegant and personalized touch to written materials. Some individuals prefer to write in cursive for its aesthetic appeal or cultural significance.

While cursive writing remains relevant and appreciated by many, it is worth noting that the prevalence and importance of cursive writing may vary across regions and time periods. In the modern digital age, the emphasis on cursive writing has diminished in some contexts, but it continues to be valued for its unique characteristics and historical significance.

Origins and Cultural Variations: Fairy lore and beliefs vary widely across different cultures and regions. They are known by different names, such as fairies, faeries, fey, or fae, and can take on different forms and characteristics depending on the folklore and traditions of each culture.

Appearance and Abilities: Fairies are often portrayed as small, delicate beings, ranging from a few inches to human height. They may have insect-like wings, pointy ears, and are sometimes depicted with ethereal or shimmering qualities. Fairies are believed to possess magical powers, including the ability to fly, cast spells, grant wishes, and manipulate natural elements.

Nature and Environment: Fairies are closely associated with the natural world, often dwelling in forests, meadows, or other natural settings. They are believed to have a deep connection to plants, animals, and the cycles of nature. In folklore, fairies are known to guard certain locations or objects, such as fairy rings or hidden treasure.

Folklore and Legends: Legends and stories about fairies have been passed down through generations, often serving as cautionary tales, explanations for natural phenomena, or moral lessons. Fairies are often portrayed as mischievous or capricious beings who can bring both blessings and curses to those who encounter them.

Modern Interpretations: In modern culture, fairies have been popularized in literature, art, and media, often depicted as whimsical, magical creatures associated with fantasy worlds. They are often portrayed in a more friendly and playful manner, such as the fairy characters in fairy tales like Peter Pan or A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Origins: Spirit photography emerged during the mid-19th century, with practitioners claiming to capture images of deceased loved ones or spiritual beings using photographic technology. It was seen as a means to provide evidence of an afterlife and communicate with the spirit world.

Techniques: Spirit photographers used various techniques to create their images. Some claimed to capture spirits directly on photographic plates or film, while others utilized double exposure, superimposition, or manipulation of the negatives or prints. Critics argue that many spirit photographs were produced through trickery and manipulation rather than genuine supernatural phenomena.

Famous Practitioners: One of the most well-known spirit photographers was William H. Mumler, who gained popularity in the 1860s. He claimed to capture spirits alongside living individuals in his photographs. However, Mumler was later exposed as a fraud, and many of his images were revealed to be the result of double exposure techniques.

Controversy and Skepticism: Spirit photography has long been met with skepticism and controversy. Many argued that the images were the product of intentional deception or the result of photographic flaws, such as accidental double exposures or light leaks. Critics also questioned the scientific validity of spirit photography and considered it a pseudoscience.

Decline and Modern Perspectives: As advancements in photography and the understanding of optics increased, the credibility and popularity of spirit photography declined. Today, spirit photography is generally viewed as a historical curiosity or a subject of interest within the context of spiritualism and the history of photography.

While spirit photography has a rich history and cultural significance, it is important to approach such images with a critical mindset. The paranormal claims associated with spirit photography have been widely discredited, and many instances of spirit photographs have been debunked as hoaxes or the result of photographic manipulation techniques.

Common Elements: While the specific details can vary, there are some common elements reported in many NDEs. These include a sense of detachment from the physical body, feelings of peace and joy, heightened senses, a panoramic life review, encounters with spiritual beings or deceased loved ones, and a transformative impact on beliefs and values.

Controversies and Interpretations: Near-death experiences have sparked various interpretations and debates. Some interpret them as glimpses of an afterlife or spiritual realm, while others propose psychological and physiological explanations such as oxygen deprivation, brain chemistry changes, or the mind's attempt to cope with a life-threatening situation. It is an ongoing topic of scientific and philosophical investigation.

Effects and Aftermath: NDEs can have a profound and transformative impact on individuals' beliefs, attitudes, and outlook on life. Many report a decreased fear of death, a heightened sense of purpose, greater spirituality, and changes in priorities and values. Some individuals may struggle to integrate the experience into their daily lives or face skepticism and disbelief from others.

Variations and Cultural Influences: NDEs can vary across individuals and cultures. The content and interpretation of NDEs may be influenced by personal beliefs, cultural and religious backgrounds, and individual expectations or fears regarding death and the afterlife.

Research and Study: Near-death experiences have gained attention from researchers and scholars in various fields, including medicine, psychology, philosophy, and theology. Scientific studies often focus on understanding the subjective experience, physiological correlates, and potential psychological and existential implications.

It's important to note that not everyone who has a close brush with death will have a near-death experience, and NDEs are not universally experienced.

Causes: Sleep paralysis is thought to result from disrupted sleep patterns, particularly during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. It can be triggered by sleep deprivation, irregular sleep schedules, stress, anxiety, sleep disorders (such as narcolepsy), and certain medications.

Symptoms: The main symptom of sleep paralysis is temporary paralysis of voluntary muscles, making it difficult to move or speak. Other common symptoms include a sense of pressure on the chest, difficulty breathing, a feeling of being observed, and vivid hallucinations (visual, auditory, or tactile).

Duration: Episodes of sleep paralysis typically last a few seconds to a couple of minutes. The person may regain the ability to move spontaneously or by making a concentrated effort.

Sleep Paralysis Disorder: Sleep paralysis is a relatively common experience, and many individuals may encounter it at least once in their lives. However, in some cases, sleep paralysis can occur frequently and significantly impact an individual's sleep quality and overall well-being. This condition is known as sleep paralysis disorder.

Treatment: In most cases, treatment for sleep paralysis focuses on improving sleep hygiene, managing stress, and addressing any underlying sleep disorders. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule, practicing relaxation techniques, and creating a comfortable sleep environment can help reduce the frequency of sleep paralysis episodes.

Duration: Episodes of sleep paralysis typically last a few seconds to a couple of minutes. The person may regain the ability to move spontaneously or by making a concentrated effort.

It's important to note that while sleep paralysis can be unsettling, it is generally not considered harmful. Understanding the phenomenon, managing stress levels, and maintaining healthy sleep habits can help individuals cope with sleep paralysis and reduce its impact on their sleep quality and daily life.

Apparitions: Ghosts are often described as appearing as transparent or semi-transparent figures. They may take on the form of a deceased person or manifest as orbs, mists, or other ethereal forms.
Hauntings: Ghosts are often associated with specific locations or objects. Haunted houses, for example, are said to be inhabited by spirits that may interact with the living by creating unexplained sounds, moving objects, or appearing as apparitions.
Intelligent or Residual: There are different theories about the nature of ghosts. Some believe that ghosts are sentient beings capable of interacting with the living, while others suggest that certain ghostly phenomena are residual energy imprints that replay past events.
Unfinished Business: It is often believed that ghosts remain on Earth due to unresolved issues, unfulfilled desires, or unfinished tasks. They may seek closure, convey messages, or seek justice for their untimely death.
Paranormal Activity: Ghosts are often associated with paranormal activities, such as strange sounds, cold spots, electrical disturbances, and the movement of objects without physical cause.

It's important to note that scientific evidence for the existence of ghosts is lacking, and explanations for reported ghostly encounters can often be attributed to psychological factors, misperceptions, or natural phenomena. Beliefs in ghosts and paranormal experiences are highly subjective and can vary widely based on cultural, religious, and personal beliefs.

Will That Make Customer Service Better — Or Worse?http://www.xzbn.net
Byline - Call centres are scrambling to adopt chat GPT-like software, despite problems with ‘hallucinations’ and inappropriate comments. Reaching a human will become almost impossible, but service might actually improve.

By Christine Dobby, Business Reporter, The Toronto

Star Saturday, June 17, 2023 It should have been simple. Ian Collins’ travel plans changed and he just wanted to update his check-in time, so he called the customer service number for the hotel to make what he assumed would be an easy fix.

“How can I help you today?” an automated voice asked him.

The voice — smooth yet stilted, clearly recorded — asked for his reservation number. He responded that he didn’t have the number handy.

“How can I help you today?” it asked him again, taking him right back to the beginning.

No matter what he said, Collins couldn’t get out of the automated voice loop. It was the type of experience that leaves many of us thinking fondly of the days when you could quickly get a live human on the line, but digital customer service is not going away. In fact, it’s about to take over.

Thanks to the arrival of “generative” artificial intelligence (AI), a type of machine-learning technology that can create new content, such as text, images or music — or provide natural-language answers to customer service complaints — more than a third of Canadian companies are looking at how AI can improve their operations, according to a recent survey by KPMG Canada.

Over the next few years, telecoms, insurance providers, banks, utilities and government departments of all kinds are expected to lean heavily on AI technology for customer service and support.

Many consultants, corporations and researchers say the next generation of automated support will be much better than the chatbots of today. The new systems will be able to learn and adapt on the fly, instantly tapping into reams of information to deliver individually tailored responses.

But there are also concerns that if businesses rush in too quickly or implement systems poorly, the call centre experience could become worse. Customers could find themselves stuck in more frustrating automated loops, unable to reach a human, or even running into AI systems that are unintentionally offensive or succumb to “hallucinations,” where they firmly state incorrect information as fact.

Either way, millions of call centre workers will lose their jobs over the next decade or so as they’re replaced by machines — and the shorter-term scenario isn’t much better. Experts warn workers will face constant monitoring by the machines they work with, which will not only make suggestions for how to respond to queries but also report on workers’ performance, potentially making an already difficult job even more stressful.

Still, with the promise of significant savings and productivity gains — a McKinsey report just this week said improvements to customer service functions alone could create $404 billion (U.S.) in value globally — the pull of generative AI will be impossible for businesses to ignore.

For Collins, the CEO of Toronto software development company Wysdom.AI, encountering bad customer service in the wild, like he did with that hotel chain, may be frustrating, but it’s also a marketing opportunity.

His business is built on helping clients make sure their digital customer-support tools work properly and for years he’s used older versions of AI technology to do that.

If you fine tune today’s chatbots using analytics, you can keep people pretty happy, he says, but that’s nothing compared to what’s coming.

“That’s all gen one,” Collins says. “The second generation just emerged and nobody really saw it coming.”

Bell Wants Local News Requirements Waived. Here’s What That Could Mean

A new ask from Bell, if granted by the CRTC, would see many local news requirements for its broadcast stations dropped.

The Toronto Star,
By Kieran Leavitt,
Staff Reporter
Date line - Friday June 23, 2023

BCE Inc. has asked that local news requirements set out under federal broadcasting rules be eliminated for the company’s stations across the country, calling into question the future of its local coverage.

In an application to the CRTC filed June 14, Bell Media requested that the telecommunications regulator drop requirements for spending on local news and regarding the number of hours per week that stations are required to broadcast locally-reflective news in major and smaller markets.

The application was filed the same day Bell announced it is cutting 1,300 positions, shutting or selling nine radio stations and closing two foreign bureaus amid plans to “significantly adapt” how it delivers the news in the face of rising financial pressures.

Many media companies across the country continue to struggle under widespread layoffs and financial headwinds. The news emerges a day after a bill in Ottawa passed in the senate that the government hopes will financially level the advertising playing field with big tech companies such as Meta and Google.

In its filing, Bell noted its 35 local television stations, branded as CTV, CTV Two and Noovo, plus three discretionary television news services — CP24, CTV News Channel and BNN Bloomberg — are under financial strain. It requested the elimination of a requirement for English-language television stations in metropolitan markets to broadcast at least 14 hours of local programming a week. In Quebec, Bell also asked the regulator to do away with its obligations to broadcast at least five hours of local programming per week at its Montreal station.

It also requested that its stations in major markets — such as Toronto or Vancouver — no longer be required to broadcast at least six hours of weekly locally-reflective news. For non-major market stations, it wants the three-hour requirement to be brought down.

It also asked the regulator to waive the requirement for the company to devote 11 per cent of the previous year’s gross revenues to the acquisition of or investment in locally-reflective news.

“The requested relief we are seeking would allow us to better manage our regulatory obligations through the evolving competitive landscape of the Canadian broadcasting industry in the face of competition from digital media broadcasting undertakings,” the application stated.

Last week’s layoffs included a six per cent cut at Bell Media.

Dwayne Winseck, a professor at Carleton University’s school of journalism and communications, said it was an “aggressive” move by Bell, and one that, if successful, could spell trouble for local journalism.

The ask, coupled with last week’s cuts and in the context of the two new bills — Bill C-18, the Online News Act, and Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, two laws the government hopes will help media companies in Canada — marks a “greedy Gretchen” move by the company, Winseck said.

“You might as well go for the moon and the stars and see what you get.” While the broadcast television stations in BCE Inc.’s operations may not be profitable, Winseck noted, the company has very profitable parts, especially on its telecommunications side.

“They’re cherry-picking elements to make their case,” he said.

The filing noted Bell Media’s average annual news operating loss totalled $28.4 million between 2016 and 2019, a figure that jumped to $40 million last year as web giants scooped up the Canadian advertising market.

“The reality is that the commercial model of news has never been tenable,” said Winseck.

“It’s always had to be subsidized or cross-subsidized by profits from some other area of the media division or the company more generally.”

In a second application filed by Bell on June 14, the company also requested that the CRTC reduce its obligation for Canadian content spending on English-language television stations from 30 per cent of the previous year’s revenues to 20 per cent.

It also asked to reduce the amount its English-language television stations must spend per year on programs of national interest from 7.5 per cent of the previous year’s revenues to five per cent. Should Bell get all or some of what it’s asking for, Winseck said he doesn’t think it will be a positive thing for local news coverage.

“We see these stations increasingly detached from their local conditions of operation,” he said.

Bell said the CRTC’s implementation of the Online Streaming Act has the potential to provide relief to media companies through compensation from online streaming giants, but it cannot afford to wait for the outcome of the regulator’s consultations on the legislation.

It reiterated many of the concerns expressed last week by Bell chief legal and regulatory officer Robert Malcolmson about the legislation, which received royal assent in April and is now in a consultation phase.

Malcolmson said the core issue for Bell is that popular U.S. content isn’t available to Canadian broadcasters because American platforms are offering it directly to consumers on their in-house streaming services. He urged policymakers to mandate assurances that would allow Canadian broadcasters to pay American companies in order to air that content.

“Notably, absent this relief, we will be required to continue operating these stations in an environment of significant regulatory uncertainty while the Commission works to implement Bill C-11’s policy directives,” the application stated.

The Standard, St Catharines, Ontario, Canada

Headline - Palliative dog permitted to live final days in condo with family after being threatened with eviction.

By line - St. Catharines couple received notice from condo board that despite one animal rule, 14-year-old Nikita can stay in her home until the end of her days.

Reported By Victoria Nicolaou, staff reporter.

Dateline - Friday, June 23, 2023.

It is not a decision meant to set condo precedent, but all the matters is Nikita will be allowed to spend her final days — however long that may be — at home, with her family.

And even though she is a 14-year-old palliative dog, Laura Rogers believes Nikita understands.

“This girl, she knows what’s going on sometimes. She gives you the look, with those big brown eyes, to say thanks,” said Rogers.

“It was very relieving, very relieving.”

Last month Rogers and Robert McConnell received a letter from the Gale Crescent property manager which stated the condominium board had agreed to permit the couple’s second dog, Nikita, to “remain with you in your unit for the remainder of her life for compassionate reasons due to her age and declining health.”

But moving forward, the couple must adhere to the condo’s one pet restriction, as per its rules and regulations.

That will not be a problem, said Rogers. When the couple sold their home and moved into the building May 2022 with their three dogs — one of which has since died — they were unaware there was a pet limit.

In the following months, the couple thought they had come to an understanding that Nikita could stay with them, as long as there were no complaints. She was little, didn’t bark, and wasn’t expected to have many years left.

But a few months ago, they received a letter from the Hamilton law firm, SimpsonWigle Law LLP, for non-compliance in “removal of dog” residing in their unit. The document said the couple is in breach of two sections of the Condominium Act — not following rules laid out for all residents and for having an additional pet in their unit.

“It was a rare circumstance for sure. I should not have ever been in here with three dogs, I didn’t know that,” said Rogers. “Rob is an ex-cop, I’m an ex-nurse, we don’t typically run around trying to break the law.”

Unsure what to do, they reached out to The Standard while continuing conversations with the condo board trying to find a solution. The veterinarian said Nikita did not have much time, and all they could do was keep her comfortable, and all Rogers and McConnell wanted was for Nikita to remain with them in their home.

They stayed positive, but “we were on pins and needles” waiting for an answer. Rogers said she heard from the community, many who sympathized with what she was going through, as well as from many “wonderful” people within the building.

“At the time this happened, there was quite a bit of outpouring of kindness and very nice, kind words,” said Rogers.

Receiving the letter was a relief, and while Nikita — who was rescued from a puppy mill — is palliative “she’s going to live out her life with us so that’s one worry off the board.”

In the weeks since this all began, Rogers said Nikita’s health condition has not improved, with the vet having found what appears to be a nodule of cancer on her chest. But at her age, and all she’s been through, Nikita won’t be put through any more testing or surgery.

“I’ll put her down if she’s in a lot of pain, that’s without a doubt. But she still has happy moments. She still has mini-plays with her sister and she loves going outside and laying in the grass and she loves her food,” said Rogers, which the veterinarian said is a good sign.
“You have good days and bad days but she’s still got happy times.”
