THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chad Hipolito British Columbia Premier David Eby says 25-per-cent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods would be "devastating" for the province's lumber and forestry industries. He made the comment ahead of a meeting with fellow first ministers and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Eby was scheduled to participate in the virtual meeting on Wednesday to discuss U.S. president-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose the tariffs unless Canada and Mexico stop illegal border crossings and prevent illicit drugs from entering the United States. Eby said the lumber and forestry sectors are already strained by a recent increase in duties amid the ongoing U.S.-Canada dispute over softwood lumber. He said after the first meeting of his new cabinet in Victoria that the tariffs are "unjustified," and they would hurt Americans as much as they would Canadians. The premier said B.C. is a source of natural gas, wood products, minerals and other products that U.S. businesses depend on, and the tariff would hinder jobs and opportunities in the province while making "life more expensive for Americans." Eby and Ottawa have called for a united front dealing with Trump's tariff plan, which he announced on social media on Monday. Eby said B.C. officials had repeatedly raised concerns with Ottawa over organized crime and illicit drugs, such as fentanyl, in relation to border security. "It's a priority for us. It has been for a while, we've written to Ottawa about it. Doesn't justify the tariffs, but it does mean that we can talk about those issues as well." Eby said Trump's proposed tariff "doesn't make economic sense," and the measure is not necessary to address issues at the border. The premier said he believes B.C. has a strong case to make for the tariff being "badly placed" if Trump's priority is to reduce costs for Americans. "I think the premiers are unified," Eby said. "There are 13 of us plus the prime minister. It's a big group of people with different political perspectives, but on this issue of ensuring that we're protecting the people in our country from these unjustified tariffs, I believe we're completely in line on that question."

It wasn't always like that, according to Dan Flynn, who started working inside the maximum security prison in 1998. “It was a different place,” Flynn said. “We basically ran the institution.” But Flynn says that began to change. Inmates started using synthetic drugs, like K-2. “They had superhuman strength,” Flynn said. “We had one where a guy was biting the other one, he was trying to rip pieces of flesh off of this guy.” Flynn also began seeing more homemade weapons and assaults. “We had had a major assault in 2012 where an officer was stabbed through the neck,” he said. Flynn retired in 2018, but the violence inside Souza Baranowski hasn't let up. Correction Officers Union President Dennis Martin wants the State Department of Correction to focus less on inmate programs and freedoms and more on security. “These are violent people. They come in violent, and they’re continuing this violent behavior,” Martin said. “If there is an uptick in violence or an uptick in drugs, we need a cleanse in that institution.” Officers are facing more dangers, Martin said, from being sprayed with bodily fluids to being attacked with homemade weapons. And, Martin said, is inaction from the Department of Correction. “We've been complaining about this month after month after month,” he said. “We're not seeing the inmates being held accountable.” Jesse White, legislative director at the inmate advocacy group Prisoners’ Legal Services, said harsher conditions aren't the answer. “Incarcerated people want to feel safe, too,” she said. “If we want to make a safer environment for people, and I think we all do, what we need to do is make sure that we are giving people access to programming, to education, to vocational training opportunities, adequate mental health care, medical care.” Contributing to the violence, according to White, is abuse by staff. The number of excessive force complaints to Prisoners’ Legal Services jumped from 18 in 2022 to 94 so far in 2024. “When the Department of Correction fails to create a culture of accountability within the prison system, incarcerated people and correctional officers alike are less safe,” she said. As the state's only maximum-security prison, Souza-Baranowski is home to the most violent offenders. Data shows there are far more assaults and weapons confiscated here than in any other Massachusetts prison, and it's getting worse. Assaults on staff rose from 118 in 2021 to 187 just through September of 2024. In the same timeframe, the number of weapons found skyrocketed from 52 in 2021 to 186. 5 Investigates’ Brittany Johnson sat down with DOC Commissioner Shawn Jenkins. Jenkins said the Department of Corrections is using a multi-layered approach to reducing violence, including using the latest technology to screen for contraband and training staff to search for drugs and weapons. Jenkins said the DOC is also sending more inmate assault cases to district attorneys’ offices for prosecution, 41 percent more from 2021 to last year. Both the correction officers’ union and Prison Legal Services have made pleas to the governor for help making Souza-Baranowski, now the only maximum security prison in Mass., safer. One surprising source of contention is the computer tablets that inmates use for education and to communicate with the outside world. But the correction officers' union says inmates are taking them apart and turned into weapons. Dennis Martin, the correction officers’ union president, showed 5 Investigates photos of homemade knives that he said are made from pieces of the tablets. “The DOC has provided us information that these tablets were indestructible that has been proven wrong,” Martin said. “So we've asked them to renegotiate with the vendor or possibly choose another vendor to make these tablets unbreakable.” According to the DOC, just 41 out of the 4,650 tablets issued at its state facilities have been turned into weapons. “The vast majority of these people are using tablets for the right reasons. They're using them for programming, they're using them for education, they're using them to keep in contact with their family, and that's critical to the mission that we're trying to accomplish. And so I don't look at those numbers and say that we need to take or remove all the tablets,” Jenkins said. “I look at those numbers and saying, we have a small group of people that have misused those tablets, and when they misuse them, they're held accountable for it, and they lose, in some cases, they can lose their ability to access these tablets.” Jenkins said the tablets are part of providing "good rehabilitative services" to inmates, which is crucial for safety not just inside the prison, but outside as well. The Department of Correction says the recidivism rate — inmates who are re-incarcerated after release — is actually dropping in Massachusetts. But Prisoners’ Legal Services says inmates coming out of Souza-Baranowski are far more likely to re-offend. They say this is evidence that more needs to be done at the state's only maximum security prison.

The “Rolling in the Deep” songstress gave her son a quick kiss and a hug as fans cheered around her before doing the same with Paul. 🥰 Angelo and Rich Paul give a kiss and hug to Adele during When We Were Young ❤ 🎥 @adelllylove pic.twitter.com/DFUyK7ZGHq Adele first kicked off her popular residency in late 2022. Now that it’s over, fans are uncertain when they will next hear from the 16-time Grammy Award winner, who previously announced that she was planning an indefinite hiatus once her scheduled shows in Las Vegas were over. Adele reflected on the residency and reiterated her uncertainty about the future while speaking with concertgoers onstage Saturday night. “It’s been wonderful, and I will miss it terribly, and I will miss you terribly,” she told her fans. “I don’t know when I’m next going to perform again.” After making a couple of jokes about having no plans for her immediate future, Adele reassured her fans, telling them, “Of course I’ll be back. The only thing I’m good at is singing and things like that. I just don’t know when I’ll want to next come onstage.” Next: Adele and Céline Dion Share Emotional Concert Moment and Fans Can't Hold Back Their Tears

December 16, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread by Michael Hesse, Max Planck Society Institutions form the backbone of human societies. They foster cooperation by rewarding prosocial behavior and punishing selfish actions. However, they face a fundamental paradox: While they are designed to incentivize cooperation, institutions themselves depend on the cooperation of their members to function. A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrates how institutions emerge and thrive. Researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology, the Institute for Advanced Studies in Toulouse (IAST), and the Institut Jean Nicod at ENS-PSL present a mathematical model showing how institutions can be built through reputation . The study examines two interconnected cooperation problems. In the first dilemma, characterized by high costs or limited monitoring, reputation alone is insufficient to ensure cooperation. In the second dilemma, individuals can collectively act to change the parameters of the first problem. The findings reveal that this nested structure creates a leverage effect: While reputation alone cannot directly solve the first problem, it motivates contributions to the collective action in the second problem. These contributions, in turn, create new incentives for cooperation in the more challenging first dilemma. A historical example from Tokugawa-era Japan illustrates this concept. At the time, village communities faced the challenge of sustainably managing shared forest resources , such as firewood and building materials. This problem reflected the "tragedy of the commons": Individuals were incentivized to use as many resources as possible, risking overexploitation. Monitoring individual forest use was difficult, so villagers developed an institution: the role of the detective. These detectives monitored forest use and imposed penalties on rule-breakers, creating new incentives to follow the rules. The institution itself required monitoring to prevent corruption or abuse of power. Thankfully, however, this secondary challenge was easier to address, as the detectives could be monitored more effectively than individual forest usage. A poor reputation could cost detectives their jobs and social standing. By solving this second, simpler problem, the community successfully tackled the more complex issue of forest management. The study concludes that institutions function as social technologies that harness universal human motives, such as the desire for a good reputation. Just as a pulley amplifies a small force to lift a heavy load, institutions transform weak reputation effects into strong incentives for cooperation. Over time, institutions may have been refined to maximize the social leverage effect, enabling societies to address increasingly complex cooperation challenges.

Eurozone inflation to take centre stage as growth worries resurface

Products linked to McGregor dropped from about 1,000 stores as retailer boycott intensifiesFormer prime minister Gordon Brown and Scottish First Minister John Swinney were among those who remembered a “giant of a man” during a memorial service for Alex Salmond. Tributes were paid to the former Scottish first minister, who died suddenly in North Macedonia in October at the age of 69. A private family funeral has already taken place, with Saturday’s memorial service in Edinburgh held to celebrate his love of Scotland and his commitment to the cause of independence. But while some 500 people, including family, friends and politicians from across the spectrum attended the service at St Giles’ Cathedral, his successor Nicola Sturgeon was not present. A rift between her and Mr Salmond – who she had previously described as her mentor – developed during her term as SNP leader. Ms Sturgeon attended the funeral of Scottish comedian Janey Godley in Glasgow on Saturday morning. Her successor, Mr Swinney, was met with boos as he arrived at the service – held on St Andrew’s Day – with at least one person in the crowd outside on the Royal Mile shouting “traitor”. Mr Salmond stood down as SNP leader and first minister after the 2014 referendum in which Scots voted to stay part of the UK. He helped found and went on to lead another pro-independence party, Alba, with Kenny MacAskill, a long-time friend who served as justice secretary in Holyrood under Mr Salmond. Mr MacAskill, now the acting Alba leader, told the congregation – which included Mr Salmond’s widow Moira as well as Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, former Labour first minister Henry McLeish and Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay – that Mr Salmond had been a “giant of man”. Mr MacAskill, who quit the SNP to join Alba, hailed Mr Salmond as “an inspiration, a political genius” and being “most of all a man who had the cause of independence burned into his heart and seared in his soul”. The cause of independence was Mr Salmond’s “guiding light, his north star”, the former justice secretary said, adding that “he came so close to achieving it”. He added: “Those of us who share his dream must conclude that journey on his behalf. That’s the legacy he’d expect and the duty we owe him.” Recalling Mr Salmond’s words from when he stood down as first minister that “the dream shall never die”, Mr MacAskill concluded his address with the words: “Your dream shall be delivered.” Former Conservative Brexit minister and long-time friend of Mr Salmond, David Davis, gave a reading as did former Scottish government minister SNP MSP Fergus Ewing. Scottish folk singer Dougie MacLean performed his famous song Caledonia, while singer Sheena Wellington led mourners in a rendition of Robert Burns’ classic A Man’s A Man For A’ That. Scottish rock duo the Proclaimers were applauded for their performance of Cap in Hand – a pro-independence song which features the line “I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand”. Brothers Craig and Charlie Reid said: “We’re going to do this for Alex, with love and respect and eternal gratitude for everything you did for our country.” Christina Hendry described her Uncle Alex as a “political giant, a strong leader, a fearless campaigner” but also remembered his as a “dearly loved husband, brother and uncle”. While she said he had been “the top man in Scotland”, he had “always made time for his family”, recalling how he phoned her brother on his birthday – the day after the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 – to apologise for not posting a card “as he’d been busy”, before telling them he would “resigning in 10 minutes”. She told the congregation: “As his family, we always felt loved no matter how far away he was or the time that passed before we saw him next. “We always knew he was standing up for our country, and for that we were grateful.” Ms Hendry continued: “The world will be a much quieter place without Uncle Alex, for Moira, for the wider family and for Scotland. “Uncle Alex passing means a great loss for many. A loss of Scotland’s voice on the international stage. A loss of integrity in Scottish politics. And a great loss to Scotland’s independence movement. “As a family it is likely a loss we will never get over.” Duncan Hamilton KC, who was an SNP MSP after the first Scottish Parliament elections, but also served as a political adviser and legal counsel to Mr Salmond, said the former first minister had “rightly been hailed as one of the greatest Scottish politicians of this, or any, generation”. He told how Mr Salmond took the SNP from being “a fringe act trying to get onto the main stage” to a party of government. “In Scottish politics, his success was both spectacular and unrivalled,” Mr Hamilton said. “Alex Salmond will forever be a pivotal figure in Scotland’s story. He changed a nation. He inspired a country. “History will certainly remember him as a man of talent, charisma and substance. But also as a political leader of courage, vision and intelligence. “He dared to dream. And so should we.” As the service finished the crowd gathered outside applauded and chanted “Alex, Alex” before singing Flower Of Scotland.TORONTO , Dec. 16, 2024 /CNW/ - Canada's Premiers are committed to maintaining strong Canada-U.S. relations, supporting energy security, and improving healthcare for Canadians. Premiers reaffirmed their support for a prosperous and secure Canada and for working with the federal government on trade, border security, and Arctic security and sovereignty. They also discussed the need for greater federal consultation on immigration policy changes, including targets and adequate federal funding to support service delivery for asylum seekers. Premiers also discussed public safety issues and continue to call on the federal government for further action on bail reform, countering organized crime including auto theft, and the movement of illegal guns into Canada . Premiers remain concerned about illegal migration, money laundering and the cross-border flow of firearms, fentanyl and precursors. The essential role of the Canada-U.S. relationship for Canadian prosperity was highlighted and Premiers committed to collaborating with the federal government to ensure the interests of all Canadians are represented in that relationship. Canada – U.S. Relations Canada and the U.S. form one of the largest integrated markets in the world with more than C$3.5 billion worth of goods and services crossing the border each day. The U.S. sells more goods and services to Canada than it sells to China , Japan , and Germany combined. Provinces and territories are strategic partners with the U.S. in trade and investment, transportation, critical minerals, energy, manufacturing, agriculture, natural resources, the environment, and Arctic security and sovereignty. The imposition of tariffs by the U.S. would be a significant failure on the part of the Government of Canada . Premiers are concerned about U.S. President-elect Trump's stated intent to impose tariffs on imports from Canada , hurting jobs, affordability, investment, and integrated supply chains in both countries. Premiers are committed to free and fair trade and will advocate against tariffs that threaten our deeply integrated and mutually beneficial economic relationships. Premiers will advocate for Canadians by supporting appropriate action by the federal government in response to any U.S. tariffs imposed on imports from Canada , and call on the federal government to ensure solutions are regionally fair, and provinces and territories are active participants in the design of Canada's response. Premiers agree that the priority is to act to avoid tariffs. They discussed the upcoming CUSMA review as a further opportunity to strengthen our trading relationships. Provinces and territories must have a significant role during the negotiation process to ensure a range of provincial and territorial interests are duly advocated for. All Premiers agreed that Mexico must strengthen its commitment to jointly addressing threats to North American competitiveness resulting from unfair Chinese trading practices. Canada's partnership with the U.S. is also founded on each country remaining a strong and reliable ally. Premiers urged the federal government to accelerate reaching the NATO defence spending target of 2% of GDP, recognizing its critical connection to strategic infrastructure as well as the broader implications for Canada's economic and security partnership with the U.S. Premiers also emphasized that more must be done to safeguard Arctic security and sovereignty. The federal government must take a proactive approach to secure our borders for Canadians. Premiers remain concerned about illegal migration, money laundering and the cross-border flow of firearms, fentanyl and precursors. Premiers discussed the Prime Minister's commitment to return to the First Ministers' table with a comprehensive border security plan, including the human and financial resources required for successful implementation. They agreed that it is critical that this plan demonstrates strong action and shows that Canada takes the security of our border seriously. The plan must also include measures to tighten the visa issuance policy to prevent arrivals to Canada under false pretenses. Premiers will pursue a COF Mission to the U.S. in February 2025 to further cement ongoing work to build strong U.S. partnerships. Energy Security Premiers discussed energy affordability and measures being taken to manage energy costs. They agreed the advancement of emerging technologies will provide opportunities for safe and reliable energy to meet the demands of a growing economy and population. Premiers also discussed opportunities to strengthen energy security in Canada and North America , and to supply the world with dependable and ethically produced energy and critical minerals. Premiers noted the challenges created by gaps in energy corridors to serve rural, remote, and northern regions. They remain committed to ensuring that residents, businesses, and industry continue to have access to reliable and affordable energy, and critical energy infrastructure, wherever they are in Canada. To support a lower-carbon economy, it is imperative that Canada's regulatory system focuses on attracting responsible development by emphasizing predictability, certainty, and a reasonable return on investment while protecting the environment. The federal government must honour its commitment to work with provinces and territories so that regulatory processes are efficient and non-duplicative for projects that support grid capacity, energy development, and access to critical minerals. Federal climate and energy policies must not infringe on provincial and territorial jurisdiction, impact affordability, or compromise the reliability of electrical systems. Premiers discussed the impacts of the proposed Clean Electricity Regulations, Clean Fuel Regulations, the draft oil and gas emissions cap, and the federal carbon tax scheduled to increase April 1, 2025 . The federal government must ensure its climate policies recognize early and ongoing climate action by provinces and territories and acknowledges their unique needs and differences while supporting a vibrant economy. Health Care Since 2010, provinces and territories have been leaders in reducing the costs of prescription drugs through the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA). As of April 1, 2024 , the pCPA has saved $4.63 billion annually in combined jurisdictional savings. Premiers commended the good work of the pCPA, including the recent launch of the pCPA Temporary Access Process (pTAP), to ensure timely access to medicines and treatments. Together, Premiers noted their continued interest in driving work to accelerate patient access to new and lifesaving publicly funded medicines and referred this priority to Health Ministers. Provinces and territories continue to take action to improve health outcomes for Canadians, including the recruitment and retention of healthcare workers. Premiers urge the federal government to collaborate as a full partner on the long-term sustainability of healthcare systems across the country.
