READ MORE Buenos Aires, Argentina – Hundreds of thousands of anti-capitalist and other protesters marched through the Argentine capital Buenos Aires on Friday against the G20 summit . Protesters seemed undeterred by a number of security measures put in place by the government, including the closure of public transportation in much of the city.  A 12-square-kilometre area around the convention centre where the leaders of the world’s top economies were meeting was cordoned off, keeping demonstrations about five kilometres away from the event.  “We will march up to the security fence so the functionaries who are inside a fence that surrounds them … can see there’s resistance from the people,” said Sebastian Dominguez, of the Argentine Regional Workers’ Federation, an anarcho-syndicalist organisation.  Dominguez, along with thousands of others who attended the march, protested against the G20’s failure to adequately address a br...

READ MORE Des responsables locaux d’un quartier de la capitale fédérale américaine ont voté pour renommer une rue à l’extérieur de l’ambassade d’Arabie saoudite en hommage à Jamal Khashoggi, journaliste saoudien assassiné début octobre. Si ce vote est approuvé par le conseil municipal de Washington, une portion de rue devant le bâtiment de la mission saoudienne dans le quartier chic de Foggy Bottom serait rebaptisée “Allée Jamal Khashoggi”. M. Khashoggi, exilé aux Etats-Unis et contributeur au Washington Post, a été assassiné à l’intérieur du consulat saoudien d’Istanbul le 2 octobre. D’après CNN, cette idée a commencé à germer il y a environ un mois, à la suite d’une pétition en ligne. “Nous proposons de renommer la rue de l’adresse de l’ambassade saoudienne en Allée Jamal Khashogg...

READ MORE A grand jury on Friday indicted a former Dallas police officer for murder in the killing of her unarmed neighbour after she says she mistakenly went to his apartment rather than her own and shot him. Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson announced the indictment, flanked by members of the family of victim Botham Jean, 26, a native of the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia, who attended college in Arkansas and had been working in Dallas for accounting and consulting firm PwC. Amber Guyger was arrested on a manslaughter charge three days after the Sept. 6 shooting of Jean, prompting criticism that the original charge was too lenient. But Johnson said at the time that the grand jury could upgrade the charges, which it did Friday. “When you look at the facts of this case, we thought that it was murder all along,” Johnson said. After the announcement, Jean’s mother, Allison Jean, said, “I truly believe that she inflicted tremendous evil on ...

READ MORE The Liberal government is not making much progress on whittling the down the backlog of veterans’ disability claims, despite its promises to do so. Updated figures from Veterans Affairs Canada, released Friday to  CBC’s   Power Politics , show the number of former soldiers waiting for over a year to have their applications processed is currently higher than it was in 2017-18.

READ MORE Google affiliate Sidewalk Labs unveiled more details around its ambitious plan for a high-tech Toronto community on Thursday, but it’s unclear as to who will own what in the company’s futuristic neighbourhood, and who will pay for it. Sidewalk revealed it is proposing the Quayside community on Toronto’s eastern waterfront be centred around a dozen timber buildings, each a mix of commercial, retail and residential spaces. It hopes about 40 per cent of residential space will be priced below-market and that about 5,000 residents will call the area home. Plans show Sidewalk also hopes to avoid the need for natural gas throughout the development and to extend Queen’s Quay with a series of bridges for light rail transit, the Martin Goodman Trail and pedestrians. It envisions the project creating 9,000 construction jobs and 3,900 jobs within the neighbourhood. But who will own and operate the community, which is also being backed by Waterfront Toronto, is sti...
