Do you know what a decapoda is? How about a lesser covert? What about a gall? A group of Uxbridge youth found the answers to these questions last Friday when they took part in the Brook Never Sleeps program, put on by the township’s environmental and sustainability committee during a school PA day. Broken up into groups, the children travelled to four stations in and around the township offices where they learned about aquatic insects, how to cast when fly fishing and how life goes on around the stream all year long. While participating in a nature scavenger hunt along the banks of the Uxbridge Brook, the participants wore white sports socks over their boots and shoes. At the end of the session, the socks - covered in mud and debris - were taken off and placed in Ziploc bags. The children were asked to take the bags home, place them in a sunny window and observe what grows from the socks. Later in the day, the youngsters had close encounters with live turtles brought in from Scales Nature Park in Orillia. Christine MacKenzie, the organizer, said about 40 children signed up for the free program, which is aimed at exposing children to the natural environment. The Brook Never Sleeps was held previously in March, during the March break, but MacKenzie said that time of year often saw the ground covered in snow, so the decision was made to move it to November. Midway through the day, the youngsters assembled in the council chambers for healthy snacks and several boxes of pizza before resuming the program. To answer the questions posed earlier: at a station set up by Ontario Streams, a charity that rehabilitates streams and brooks, the children used magnifying glasses to examine a host of tiny, squirming bugs taken from the stream. One, which resembled a tiny crayfish, was called a decapoda. At a session on birds, they learned that a lesser covert is a type of feather. In the nature scavenger hunt, they learned that a gall is a type of growth found on plants, usually round like a ball and containing a grub. NoneThe new government under Prime Minister Francois Bayrou comes amid tough political deadlock in France. Two former prime ministers, Elisabeth Borne and Manuel Valls, will return in the new administration. The office of French President Emmanuel Macron presented a new government under new Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Monday, almost three weeks after the collapse of the previous administration. This is France 's fourth government in 2024. Who will be in the new administration? Two former prime ministers are part of the country's new administration, which mostly consists of centrist and conservative figures. Elisabeth Borne, 63, will serve as education minister, while Manuel Valls, 62, becomes the country's overseas territories minister. Former Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin was appointed justice minister. Both Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu and Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot kept their jobs. However, it remains unclear if the new government will be able to remain in office for long, with left-wing parties signalling their disappointment after talks with newly-appointed Bayrou. "It's not a government, it's a provocation. The extreme right in power under the watchful eye of the extreme right," Socialist Party leader and member of the National Assembly Olivier Faure said in a social media post. France faces political crisis, flailing economy France has been mired in a deep political crisis since President Emmanuel Macron called snap elections in June, with no party emerging with a majority. At the same time, the country is facing a critical economic situation amid soaring national debt and a large budgetary deficit. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen suggested Macron would eventually have to resign as a result of the political crisis in the country. "I am preparing for an early presidential election," she told French newspaper Le Parisien last week. ftm/wd (dpa, AFP)TORONTO — Two Canadian Cabinet ministers met with President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for commerce secretary at Mar-a-Lago on Friday as Canada tries to avoid sweeping tariffs when Trump takes office. Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly met with Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for commerce secretary, as well as North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to lead the Interior Department. Trump has threatened to impose 25% tariffs on all Canadian products if Canada does not stem what he calls a flow of migrants and fentanyl into the United States — even though far fewer of each cross into the U.S. from Canada than from Mexico, which Trump has also threatened. “Minister LeBlanc and Minister Joly had a positive, productive meeting at Mar-a-Lago with Howard Lutnick and Doug Burgum, as a follow-up to the dinner between the Prime Minister and President Trump last month,” said Jean-Sébastien Comeau, a spokesman for LeBlanc. Comeau said both ministers outlined the measures in Canada's billion-dollar plan to increase security at the border and reiterated “the shared commitment to strengthen border security as well as combat the harm caused by fentanyl to save Canadian and American lives.” Get the latest breaking news as it happens.

Trump has been trolling Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on social media in recent weeks by calling him the Governor of the 51st state. Trudeau has not directly responded, but did post a link Thursday to a six-minute video on YouTube from 2010 in which American NBC journalist Tom Brokaw “explains Canada to Americans.” “Some information about Canada for Americans” Trudeau wrote in the post on X. Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick speaks during a news conference with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, Monday, Dec. 16, 2024, in Palm Beach, Fla. Credit: AP/Evan Vucci The video, which originally aired during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, explains similarities between the two countries, the massive trading relationship and the actions of the Canadian military in World War 2 and Afghanistan. “In our darkest hours Canada has been with us,” Brokaw says in the video. “In the long history of sovereign neighbors there has never been a relationship as close, productive and peaceful as the U.S. and Canada.” Trudeau has told Trump that Americans would also suffer if the president-elect follows through on a plan to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Alberta alone sends 4.3 million barrel s of oil per day to the U.S which tends to consume about 20 million barrels a day. Trump has also made an issue of the U.S. trade deficit with Canada, erroneously calling it a subsidy. Canada’s ambassador to Washington, Kirsten Hillman, has said the U.S. had a $75 billion trade deficit with Canada last year. But she noted a third of what Canada sells into the U.S. are energy exports and said there is a deficit when oil prices are high. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian dollars ($2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Flows of migrants and seizures of drugs are vastly different at the U.S.’s two land borders. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border during the last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. Most of the fentanyl reaching the U.S. — where it causes about 70,000 overdose deaths annually — is made by Mexican drug cartels using precursor chemicals smuggled from Asia. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 1.53 million encounters with migrants at the southwest border with Mexico between October 2023 and September 2024. That compares to 23,721 encounters at the Canadian border during that time.
FOOTBALLER Marcus Rashford is fighting fit — after taking up boxing and mixed martial arts. The Manchester United and England striker , 27, has been working out in a boxing gym. He has also had sessions with a trainer who specialises in Muay Thai, a form of martial arts favoured by cage fighters. Rashford was left out of the England squad for this month’s Nations League games. Instead, he went to New York and watched a UFC cage fight and basketball game. A source said: “Marcus has really started to get into fighting in recent years. “He’s always enjoyed watching boxing with his mates but he’s also developed an interest in MMA as the sport has become more popular. “The club know and have no problem with it. “They just think it’s great extra fitness training.” Rashford is hoping to win the favour of new head coach Ruben Amorim , who backed his recent trip to New York .
