  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “There are prospects [for a new Ukrainian counteroffensive]. First and foremost we need to stabilise the situation at the line of contact. As you can see, it is not stable. I would say this: it's their turn now. They need to be stopped, and we will stop them. Then we need the appropriate staffing for the brigades so that they can take the next counteroffensive step.” 37 minutes ago
  • Giorgi Revishvili
    Giorgi Revishvili “Despite the Georgian Dream having the majority to override the veto, it was important for the president to make the move. The president rightfully said how it [foreign agent's law] is a Russia law and contradicts all of European standards. There is also a fundamental shift in the political landscape with the younger generation becoming increasingly involved in politics. The youth is the driving force behind these protests.” 44 minutes ago
  • Salome Zourabichvili
    Salome Zourabichvili “Today I set a veto … on the law, which is Russian in its essence and which contradicts our constitution.” 51 minutes ago
  • Mohammed Jamjoom
    Mohammed Jamjoom “What we're seeing more and more of in the past few days is that there is a huge amount of disagreement amongst war cabinet members about the plan going forward for Gaza. And this echoes also the concerns by US government that has said repeatedly that Netanyahu needs to try to figure out a plan for a post-war Gaza scenario.” 56 minutes ago
  • Benny Gantz
    Benny Gantz “If you choose to lead the nation to the abyss, we will withdraw from the government [by June 8], turn to the people, and form a government that can bring about a real victory. We did not claim dominance. We did not demand jobs. All we wanted was to serve our country and our people. For many months, the unity was indeed real and meaningful. It prevented serious mistakes, led to great achievements, and returned home over a hundred hostages. Together, we faced the hardships of the campaign, protected the nation with a good and strong spirit - and gave the fighters on the front a feeling of being backed by a shared destiny. But lately, something has gone wrong. Essential decisions were not made. A small minority has taken over the command bridge of the Israeli ship of state and is steering her toward the rocks. I came here today to tell the truth. And the truth is hard: while Israeli soldiers show supreme bravery on the front, some of the people who sent them into battle behave with cowardice and irresponsibility.” 4 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Let's not forget about other fronts beyond the Kharkiv front: the Kramatorsk, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove fronts, and the southern fronts; it's tough on all of those fronts, and our forces are fighting back with dignity. I am especially grateful to the soldiers who repelled the Russian assault on Chasiv Yar. Our forces destroyed more than 20 pieces of the occupiers' equipment. Good job!” 4 hours ago
  • António Guterres
    António Guterres “The only permanent way to end the cycle of violence and instability is through a two-state solution, Israel and Palestine living side-by-side in peace and security, with Jerusalem as capital of both states.” 7 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Civilians are dying there [on border regions such as Belgorod]. It's obvious. They are shooting directly at the city center, at residential areas. And I said publicly that if this continues, we will be forced to create a security zone, a buffer zone. That is what we are doing.” 8 hours ago
  • John Holman
    John Holman “At present Ukraine is outmanned in terms of soldiers in parts of the front line even before the latest Russian attacks. Ukraine said that there were seven Russian soldiers to one Ukrainian soldier, so that's going to put fresh pressure on them.” 8 hours ago
  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 22 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 23 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 23 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 23 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 23 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 23 hours ago

“These attacks demonstrate yet again the Iranian regime's disregard for peace and stability in the region. We support Israel's right to defend itself and its people from these attacks.”

“But this doesn't mean that we're not going to be calling out highly questionable, reckless economic ideas. What Canadians need is responsible leadership. Buzzwords, dog whistles and careless attacks don't add up to a plan for Canadians. Attacking the institutions that make our society fair, safe and free is not responsible leadership. Fighting against vaccines that saved millions of lives, that's not responsible leadership. Opposing the support and investments that have helped save jobs, businesses and families during the pandemic, that's not responsible leadership.”

“Pierre [Poilievre] is a career politician who has been collecting a six-figure salary on the public's dime since he was 24, and he's spent every minute of his time in office fighting against fair wages, good pensions and a better life for working people. He is not a worker, and he definitely doesn't get what it means to be a member of the working class.”

“Canada is an active part of an important mission in the North Pacific to ensure that the sanctions applied to North Korea are properly enforced and the fact that China would have chosen to do this is extremely troubling. We will be bringing it up directly with Chinese officials and counterparts and ensuring that this doesn't continue to be part of an escalatory pattern.”

“To be effective in solving complex problems, interstate dispute, or war; you have diplomacy, you've got economics, you've got humanitarian support, and you have got the military. Canada has been active in diplomacy, by the way diplomacy obviously has failed because otherwise Putin wouldn't have attacked. Economic; the sanctions (are) valuable but they are not stopping the Russian battlegroups from grinding away and essentially killing Ukraine citizens. Humanitarian support is after the fact where you try to remediate the damage and the tragedy. We have done a good job at bringing refugees to Canada. I am told about 10,000 Ukrainians so far, some medical supplies. But on the military side we are lacking. For 5 years Canada did not allow Ukraine to acquire weapons from Canada. That was a conscious government decision because they were asking. And then when the push came to shove 3 days before the attack we send a couple boxes of weapons and then some old anti tank systems and then some other stuff and then now we've stopped again. As well we only have 600 troops in Europe right now and we are talking of a need of multiple thousands. So to demonstrate leadership we've got to do more. Not just in the first three areas I mentioned but also in the military side because if we don't deter Putin he may try something else.”

“Tariffs and retaliation and sanctions are the most effective when you can devise policies that have the maximum impact on the counter party whose attention you are seeking to get, and do the minimal damage to yourself. So far, sanctions have been structured to avoid harming Canadian business interests. If we are truly determined to stand with Ukraine, if the stakes in this fight are as high as I believe them to be, we have to be honest with ourselves, I have to be honest with Canadians, that there could be some collateral damage in Canada and that's something that the G7 finance ministers discussed very early this morning. I cannot announce those additional measures today. We are discussing them, we are working with our partners and allies. We have suggested many things, as have our allies. We believe that the most effective thing to do is to work together to announce measures together and we will continue to do that.”

“We're ready to confirm that the situation is no longer an emergency. Therefore, the federal government will be ending the use of the Emergencies Act. We are confident that existing laws and bylaws are now sufficient to keep people safe. We'll continue to be there to support provincial and local authorities if and when needed.”

“We can see that there are people who genuinely are there to protest their concerns about mandates and how it affects their families and their finances and way of life. But we also see a large component of conspiracy theorists, both about COVID and QAnon and the Great Reset, and we see right-wing extremists, as well.”

“The illegal blockades have highlighted the fact that crowdfunding platforms, and some of the payment service providers they use, are not fully captured under the Proceeds of Crime and Terrorist Financing Act. We are making these changes because we know that these platforms are being used to support illegal blockades and illegal activity which is damaging the Canadian economy. This order covers both personal and corporate accounts.”

“It is now clear that there are serious challenges to law enforcement's ability to effectively enforce the law. It is no longer a lawful protest at a disagreement over government policy. It is now an illegal occupation. It's time for people to go home. This is about keeping Canadians safe, protecting people's jobs and restoring confidence in our institutions.”

“[Provincial cabinet will enact orders that make it] Crystal clear it is illegal and punishable to block and impede the movement of goods, people and service along critical infrastructure. Let me be as clear as I can - there will be consequences for these actions, and they will be severe. This is a pivotal, pivotal moment for our nation.”

“You don't want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the US. We've heard your frustration with COVID, with the measures that are there to keep people safe. We've heard you. It's time to go home now.”

“It [the protest] has to stop. This pandemic has sucked for all Canadians. But Canadians know the way to get through it is continuing to listen to science, continuing to lean on each other.”

“We cannot allow an angry crowd to reverse a course that continues to save lives in this last stretch of the pandemic. This should never be a precedent for how to make policy in Canada.”

“The protest organisers, who are from the extreme right wing of Canadian politics, are demanding the overthrow of the government. But there are also anti-vaxxers, religious fundamentalists, and those raising topics of concern for those on the right and the left - like the power of pharmaceutical companies, or the civil liberties implications of mandates. And there were those who simply had enough of the pandemic restrictions.”

“Over the past few days, Canadians were shocked and frankly disgusted by the behaviour displayed by some people protesting in our nation's capital. I want to be very clear: We are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless. We won't give in to those who fly racist flags. We won't cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonour the memory of our veterans. To anyone who joined the convoy but is rightly uncomfortable with the symbols of hatred and division on display: join with your fellow Canadians, be courageous and speak out - do not stand for or with intolerance and hate.”

“Omicron is moving so quickly that it has become pretty much impossible to pin down the full extent of spread in real time. PCR testing capacity is overwhelmed. Rapid antigen tests [RAT] are inconsistently available. Those with positive RAT results often have no way to register them let alone confirm them.”

“The province has little choice but to change its isolation protocols due to the meteoric spread of the Omicron variant, which has created staff shortages. The health system cannot maintain services while nearly 7,000 workers are home isolating because of a positive COVID-19 test or exposure to the virus. Omicron's contagion is so exponential that a huge number of personnel have to be withdrawn, and that poses a risk to the network capacity to treat Quebecers.”

“We've been competing and China has been, from time to time, very cleverly playing us off each other in an open market, competitive way. We need to do a better job of working together and standing strong so China can't play the angles and divide us one against the other.”

“We have data out of the UK that suggests that there may be an intrinsic mildness to Omicron as compared to Delta but it's not by a lot, and the hyper contagiousness of Omicron means that even that mildness probably won't protect the health care system. So that is why we have to curtail transmission as much as we can. A tiny fraction of a large number, is still going to be a very large number.”

author

“Unfortunately these measures are very little and I think are highly unlikely to do much at all to stem the tide of infections...and unfortunately with something that transmits as quickly as Omicron you have to move immediately because anything less than that and the transmission of the infection is going to outpace your efforts, it's sad but it's a mathematical fact.”

“We are learning about this virus after two years, almost two years, and we know that it is inevitable now that most of us in the province will be exposed at some point, the way that this virus is being transmitted, this strain of the virus is being transmitted in communities across the province. It is over time very likely that all of us will have exposure to it. How it affects us depends on our own actions and what we are doing.”

“This is really about a harm reduction approach. So no matter what the new restrictions will be, there will be some who will not change their behaviour and want to see their family and friends. So wouldn't it be better to test and find COVID before the person enters the gathering or the event? We know that people's mental health has deteriorated and many people are emotionally burned out. So rapid antigen testing can be used to ease people's anxiety about whether they have COVID. It's not going to go away very quickly, this pandemic, so people need to start to feel more confident in going about their daily lives.”

“The epidemiological situation is critical. The community spread is astounding. Our health system is already in crisis … and things aren't getting better. Hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions are on the rise.”

“It's not a recipe against the current tidal wave that Ontario is starting to face already, and other provinces will follow. We invest with the booster so that when we loosen restrictions again … we start to see protections through the boosters. That's the idea. We need interventions to blunt the wave so that we have a bit more time so that … we are able to roll [boosters] out and that they are able to start to develop their effectiveness.”

“Most people in Canada, like other wealthy countries, haven't been infected with COVID-19. So if they lack vaccine protection they are especially vulnerable to Omicron. What really worries me is that people are asleep at the steering wheel, internationally. They have wishful thinking it will be mild ... This is not a realistic attitude. I'm completely exhausted. I've had it. I'm done completely. But the virus doesn't care.”

“You have to reassess the whole situation there in terms of the soil, stabilize the soil, and then once you figure that one out, you start building the new road, the new bridge. Winter and freezing weather will make repairs more difficult. As the temperature now starts to go below zero and starts to freeze, then it becomes very challenging to work with that upper layer of soil.”

“I know that there remains a great deal of uncertainty and anxiety during this very challenging time.

“The biggest challenge we have is oil and gas production. Unfortunately, the solution he came up with focused on emissions and not production. And what that allows is for oil and gas companies to continue to put forward false solutions and net zero plans that are far into the future.”

“We didn't get any commitment to Canada thinking through an economic transition and diversification strategy that means we're going to stop exporting a huge amount of emissions to the rest of the world. I was really hoping that we would hear more from Canada when it comes to the level of ambition that's needed in our energy transition.”

“We'll cap oil and gas sector emissions today and ensure they decrease tomorrow at a pace and scale needed to reach net-zero by 2050. That's no small task for a major oil and gas producing country. It's a big step that's absolutely necessary.”

“Guilbeault's [Steven Guilbeault] appointment is not the only signal Trudeau's government sent on climate with its new cabinet appointments this week. Canada's former environment minister, Jonathan Wilkinson, was named the new minister of natural resources. That role had previously been held by a Seamus O'Regan who championed fossil fuel interests. He [O'Regan] was a disaster in my view. He was the inside man for the oil and gas industry in cabinet and had been holding back progress on the environment.”

“It's a cause for concern. He [Steven Guilbeault] has opposed every pipeline in Canada, every oil sands project, everything we need to do in Alberta to get our product to market. We are seeing a global crisis where prices are skyrocketing for oil and gas and a lot of that is because of green agendas.”

“Normally the port is very balanced. Exports like grain from the prairies, seafood from the coast, and beef from Alberta would return via the containers back to Asia. But because of this surge in imports, our supply chain is out of balance. That's causing a surge internally with a lot of empty [containers] waiting around the system to get back on ships back to Asia.”
