Another Word for Gender Series this week
Concorida University’s Gender Advocacy Center will be holding a series of events this week to empower and inspire students and members of the Montreal community.
According to the Link, it will be the third annual Another Word for Gender Series, which focuses on social justice through a gender-issues lens. The various events will highlight issues relating to marginalized members of society.
The Centre’s Programming and Campaigns Coordinatior, Bianca Mugyenyi says it will be a diversified series for people that see and challenge inequality and injustice in different ways, and will help to build people’s strengths.
Events in the series will include a talk on the aboriginal experience of the residential school system, consent workshops, several events to examine the role of men in feminism and keynote speaker, Glen Canning.
Canning is the father of 17 year old Rehtaeh Parsons, who committed suicide in April after being sexually assaulted and bullied.
The series will end with a Sisters in Spirit march for missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
Norway dismisses plans to obtain carbon dioxide
The Norwegian government has decided to dismiss their much anticipated plans to obtain carbon dioxide and place it underground.
According to BBC News the Oil and Energy Ministry stated that research for carbon capture will be continued regardless of its dismissal.
When the Norwegian Labour Party displayed the carbon capture plan in 2007, they compared it to landing on the moon.
The Oil and Energy Minister stated that the problem with the plan was that it was taking too long and was too expensive.
The idea of carbon capture dates back to the 1930`s and is regarded as a good technology to eliminate greenhouse gas.

Ontario's justice system to add more aboriginal representation.
Resolving aboriginal issues will no longer take a back seat in the courts of Ontario.
According to CBC News, the province's jury system will have more members from various sectors of the First Nation and Metis community.
This comes after the Ontario government asked former Supreme Court of Canada justice Frank Iacobucci to look into the lack of representation.
He discovered there was a case of 'systemic discrimination,' where access to justice and legal assistance have been long needed, especially in Northern Ontario.
Nishnawbe Aski First Nation Deputy grand chief Alvin Fiddler co-chairs the panel of eleven members.
He's concerned at how a lot of First Nation and Metis people are jailed; and at the same time, excluded in participating in the justice system.
He hopes that the Iacobucci report will bring to a fair trial in Ontario's courts.
The panel's implementation committee is meeting this week-end to make it's next course of action.
The reform in the jury roll comes in line with Aboriginal awareness week.
Possible extension of the metro line to be announced Friday
Good news for Montrealers living in the East end of the city.
According to Radio-Canada, the province will announce Friday morning at 10 a.m. their intention to extend the metro system’s blue line beyond the St.Michel terminus.
The province plans on adding as many as five stations to the east, covering a distance of six kilometers all the way to the borough of Anjou.
The AMT had requested this extending back in June, and current transport minister Sylvain Gaudreault mentioned that the province was in favour of the project.
The last extension project of this kind took five years and eight hundred million dollars to realize.
It was the adding of three stations to the orange line towards Laval.
The possibility of extending the yellow line past the Longueil terminus is also expected to be on the table at tomorrow’s meeting.

New climate-change action plan for Montreal
The city now has two climate-action plans, as more plans to cut pollution linked to climate change were made public on Thursday.
According to the Gazette, the plans include changes to public transit, the energy efficiency of municipal buildings, driving practices for municipal employees and reducing the use of heating oil.
However, city executive committee chairperson, Josée Duplessis says that even with the new plans in place, it will be a colossal challenge to meet the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2020 compared to 1990.
To improve service and cut emissions, chairperson of the STM, Michel Labrecque, has said new, bigger métro cars are being ordered, and electric buses will be tested.
The city is also planning on creating wider sidewalks and improving bike paths to encourage walking and the use of bikes.
Duplessis said that making even small changes, everyone- including citizens - can make a differences.
