Middle East Politics · CanadaOttawa has plans to finally stop blocking Canadian development aid to Afghanistan this year. But by the time its new system is fully up and running, the Taliban will have been in control of the country for about three years. Humanitarian organizations say that’s an interminable delay for those who need help, especially since other countries moved more quickly to unblock aid flows. “It’s extremely frustrating, if I can put it as nicely as I can,” said Asma Faizi, head of the Afghan Women’s Organization. Her group supports Afghan newcomers to Canada as well as women living in Afghanistan and in exile in nearby countries. It also runs an all-girls orphanage in Kabul, which has been blocked from Canadian aid since the Taliban takeover. “Canadian organizations that want to work inside Afghanistan are ready, willing and able to work. But they are prohibited,” said Faizi.See the Story

Canadian Hockey · St. John'sNewfoundlanders remember legendary “Hockey Night in Canada” sportscaster Bob Cole as a national star who proved that someone from the country’s easternmost province could make it big on the mainland, all without moving away Cole’s connection to Newfoundland and Labrador, including his home in the provincial capital, was “everything” to him, said Megan Cole, his daughter, in a message Friday. “Many times through his career he was asked to move for the job, was offered broadcasting opportunities that would have taken him out of Newfoundland,” she wrote. “Never, ever did he entertain this. He never wanted to leave here.” Bob Hallett, a founding member of Newfoundland folk-rock band Great Big Sea, said he and his band members would often be on the same plane as Cole as they returned to St. John’s from gigs across the country.See the Story
