(Doug Kerr/CBC - image credit) A group of climate change activists known around the world for their dramatic protests and willingness to be arrested blocked traffic in downtown Vancouver on Saturday. Around 50 people with Extinction Rebellion marched from the Vancouver Art Gallery to the law courts Saturday afternoon, then occupied the intersection at Hornby and Smithe streets. Three people were arrested. Maayan Kreitzman, a volunteer with the group, said she was protesting what she calls a lack of action by the Canadian government to address climate change and its ecological impact. "And that means that normal people need to stand up and resist," she said. Protesters with Extinction Rebellion lay on a road in downtown Vancouver on Feb. 27, 2021. Extinction Rebellion has three key objectives: to see governments communicate and act with urgency around climate change; engage citizens through an assembly that will determine policies to stop climate change; and ensure carbon emissions are reduced to net zero by 2025 — a deadline 25 years shorter than that proposed by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The group on Saturday spilled buckets of fake blood in the street, then collapsed to the ground as part of what it called a die-in. The display was part of a series of monthly peaceful protests, leading up to the group's so-called spring rebellion, planned for May 1 in Victoria, where protesters hope to provoke hundreds of arrests to gain more attention and support for their movement. "I always thought that climate change is an issue that is going to be happening in the future, and we'll worry about it in 10 years, 20 years. No. We have to make the changes now," said Nam Topp-Nguyen a volunteer with Extinction Rebellion. Vancouver police said officers arrested three protesters for mischief and intimidation after an intersection was blocked for several hours and the group refused to leave after multiple requests. "The protest was peaceful," said Const. Steve Addison in a release. He said the three people arrested were taken to jail and then released under a promise to appear at court at a later date. In 2019, 10 people with Extinction Rebellion were arrested after 100 activists took over the Burrard Street Bridge in Vancouver for more than 12 hours. Extinction Rebellion was founded in the U.K. in October 2018 and rose to prominence when the group disrupted traffic in central London for 11 days. More than 1,000 activists were arrested, of whom 850 were prosecuted for various public disorder offences. At least 250 have been convicted.

Iran said Sunday it does not consider the time to be "suitable" for an informal meeting - proposed by Europe and involving the US - on the embattled 2015 nuclear deal. The European Union's political director earlier this month proposed the informal meeting involving Iran and the United States. US President Joe Biden's administration has accepted in principle. Following Biden's election, Washington, the European parties to the deal - France, Germany and Britain - and Tehran have been trying to salvage the 2015 nuclear accord, which granted Iran international sanctions relief in return for restrictions on its nuclear programme. The accord has been nearing collapse since former president Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew in 2018 and reimposed crippling sanctions as part of a "maximum pressure" campaign against Tehran. "Considering the recent positions and actions of the United States and the three European countries, (Iran) does not consider the time suitable to hold the informal meeting proposed by the European coordinator", foreign ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said in a statement. "There has still been no change in the US positions and behaviour yet," he added, saying the Biden administration has continued "Trump's failed policy of maximum pressure". Biden has signalled readiness to revive the deal, but insists Iran first return to all its nuclear commitments, most of which it suspended in response to the sanctions, while Tehran demands Washington take the first step by scrapping the sanctions. The US "has not even announced its commitment to fulfilling its responsibilities" under the deal and the United Nations Security Council resolution that enshrined it, Khatibzadeh said. He added: "America must end its illegal and unilateral sanctions and return to its (deal) commitments. This needs neither negotiations nor resolutions." Iran "will answer action with action, and just as it will return to (deal) commitments in accordance with the lifting of sanctions, it will respond to hostile actions and behaviours in the same way". Iran last Tuesday started to restrict some site inspections by the UN nuclear watchdog, in continuation of suspended nuclear commitments in response to the US failure to lift its sanctions. Khatibzadeh said Tehran would continue to consult with other parties to the nuclear agreement, and European Union Foreign Minister Josep Borrell "in his capacity as the (deal) coordinator, both bilaterally and multilaterally".

NEW YORK — Charlie McAvoy had a goal and an assist, leading the Boston Bruins to a 4-1 win against the New York Rangers on Sunday. Tuukka Rask made 20 saves and earned his 299th NHL victory. Charlie Coyle scored twice and David Pastrnak added two assists as the Bruins snapped a two-game skid. Trent Frederic also scored for Boston. Alexandar Georgiev made 31 saves, but the Rangers fell for the second time in games. Colin Blackwell scored for New York. McAvoy hammered a one-timer to push the Bruins’ lead to 3-0 at 10:20 of the second period. Pastrnak and Brad Marchand assisted on the play. The Bruins and Rangers have met four times in the month of February this season, all at MSG. The teams are scheduled to play four more times at TD Garden in Boston during this abbreviated 56-game season with revamped divisions because of COVID-19. Coyle opened the scoring at 6:41 of the first period with a deft wrist shot from inside the left faceoff circle. Pastrnak’s leading pass allowed Coyle to enter the offensive zone with speed and get by Rangers rookie defenceman K’Andre Miller. McAvoy earned the secondary assist on the play. Before Coyle’s goal, Georgiev sustained a cut above his left eye following a collision with Bruins forward Nick Ritchie. Igor Shesterkin replaced Georgiev after the goal for the remainder of the first period. Georgiev returned for the second period and finished the game. Frederic extended the Bruins’ lead to 2-0 late in the first period when he redirected a puck past Shesterkin. Connor Clifton and Jack Studnicka assisted on the goal at 18:14 of the opening period. Blackwell spoiled Rask’s shutout bid at 10:47 of the third period. Alexis Lafreniere, the first overall selection of the 2020 draft, picked up his second career assist in as many games on the play. Coyle added a short-handed empty-net goal at 18:05 to seal the victory for the Bruins. POWER PLAY STRUGGLES The Bruins are 3 for 22 on the man advantage over their past nine games after going 12 for 34 over the first 10. LEARNING CURVE The Bruins dressed four rookies on Sunday, including Frederic, Studnicka, Jakub Zboril and Urho Vaakanainen. UP NEXT Bruins: Host Washington Capitals on Wednesday. Rangers: Host Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. ___ More AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/NHL and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press
Un homme a été brûlé au visage et aux mains en fin de matinée, suite à un violent incendie de garage résidentiel, au 960 rue Bellevue Sud à Saint-Félicien. L'incident s'est produit vers 11h30. À l'arrivée des pompiers, les flammes avaient gagné la totalité du bâtiment. Il aura fallu 45 minutes pour éteindre le brasier. L'homme a subi des blessures mineures. Il a été transporté vers le centre hospitalier. On ne craint toutefois pas pour sa vie. Quant à la résidence, celle-ci n'a subi aucun dommage, car le garage se situait à une bonne distance. Fuite d'essence Selon le service de sécurité incendie de Saint-Félicien, l'homme effectuait des travaux sur une motoneige à l'intérieur du garage. Une fuite d'essence écoulée vers un poêle à bois pourrait être en cause. Cette hypothèse reste toutefois à confirmer par l'enquête. Le garage étant une perte totale, les dommages sont évalués à 50 000 $. Une vingtaine de pompiers ont été nécessaires pour assurer le déroulement de l'opération, qui a duré 2h30. Aucun d'entre eux n'a été blessé. De son côté, le chef aux opérations du Service de sécurité incendie de Saint-Félicien, Viateur Aubé appelle à la vigilance. Il constate qu'en quelques mois, c'est le deuxième incident de ce genre à survenir. "Ça fait deux fois que ça arrive en peu de temps. Quand on fait des travaux, il faut s'assurer de ne pas avoir d'équipements à proximité qui pourraient produire de la chaleur ou des flammes, surtout lorsqu'il y a une fuite. Il faut savoir que de l'essence produit de la vapeur à partir de -40 °C. Avoir un extincteur portatif à proximité est toujours une bonne idée", a-t-il fait valoir. Julien B.

(Stuart Forster/Shutterstock - image credit) A young Indigenous man was shot dead by Tofino RCMP in a residence on Saturday night, Indigenous leaders and RCMP have confirmed. B.C. RCMP said in a written statement that at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday two officers from Tofino RCMP attended a residence on the Opitsaht First Nation as they searched for a woman believed to be in distress. After they arrived, a man was shot and killed. Another man was taken into custody. The woman was located and taken to hospital for medical assessment. Moses Martin, Tlaoquiaht First Nation chief councillor, said he had spoken to RCMP, who said an investigation into the incident is ongoing. The statement from RCMP said the Vancouver Island General Investigative Section (GIS) is investigating the call to police, including allegations that the woman was being held against her will. The Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia, a civilian-led police oversight agency, is now investigating the incident.
