    Chinatown Business Owners Are Calling For More Economic Support From The City

     Canada Global(Web News)Business owners in Montreal’s Chinatown say problems with homelessness, drug use and crime have improved over the past year after demanding action from the city and police. But at a press conference Wednesday, he called for more economic help to revitalize the neighborhood, as many businesses are seeing a drop in revenue, forcing some to close.

    I lost one of my tenants during the construction period because I don’t know when it’s going to be finished and the income a day, it’s less than $100 and two staff inside and rent, any way. Not that they can take it back. They have to cut their losses a week after opening for business,” explained Tony Ho, president of Ho Investments and owner of commercial buildings in Chinatown.
    “We’re having trouble finding tenants and when we do find tenants, we finally find tenants who are ready to revitalize the city and they can’t wait for permits,” Ho added.
    They say that the construction work is adding to the economic pressure.
    More immediate items are closures that occur without warning and that last much longer, for example the closure of the bridge over the Val-Marie Expressway over St. Laurent, which closed Old Montreal and Chinatown and Quartier des Spectacles. “I think parking is a top priority for all businesses here and I can’t wait to get back to you,”
    says Bill Wong, director of the Montreal Chinatown Development Council and a business owner. I live in the Furio complex and there is a parking lot underneath that is owned by the federal government
    . To encourage.
    Longer-term and larger issues relate to how difficult it is to develop and invest in Montreal, but Chinatown in particular has rules about the face of patriotism that make almost any building renovation impossible. Makes it impossible and very expensive.
    Our tenants are victims of drug trafficking, homeless people every day and these are the things we really need the city to help us with.

    Doctors In Montreal Have Developed A Virtual Reality Tool That Could Save Children’s Lives

     Canada Global(Web News)Montreal researchers have developed a virtual reality emergency room that can be used to train doctors in Canada and around the world to save the lives of severely injured children.

    According to the World Health Organization, injuries from accidents such as car crashes, falls, and fires are the leading cause of death for nearly one million children each year.
    “This means that every year more than six million children go to emergency departments for some treatment because of pediatric trauma,” said Dr. Fabio Botelho, a pediatric and trauma surgeon and research fellow from Brazil. Those are the countries that report it. Better training can help a child’s chances of surviving an accident and recovering from their injuries, said Botelho, medical director of the trauma program at Montreal Children’s Hospital. and Dr. Dan Poinaro both developed PTITVR in conjunction with UK-based i3 Simulations.

  • Canada’s Decision To Build A High-Speed Train

    Canada’s Decision To Build A High-Speed Train

     Canada Global(Web News)A Canadian start-up has proposed an electric high-speed train that will make the 804 km journey between Toronto and Montreal very easy.

    According to Toronto-based startup Transpod, the company’s Hyperloop-style vacuum train will allow passengers to travel at speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour. These ‘flux jet trains will be suspended in air through vacuum tubes and powered by plasma. In this way, the train can be operated at the speed of a commercial aircraft.
    The company says it has the technology to make the project a reality before 2035.

    The company is already working on a 300-kilometer line between Edmonton and Calgary at a cost of $18 billion.
    According to Ryan Janzen, the inventor of the Transpod system, the project is designed like an airplane but it works like a train.
    Designed as a wingless aircraft, the Flux jet vehicle is designed to ‘fly’ at high speeds.

    Each carriage is considerably smaller than a conventional rail car, its compartments are slightly narrower than train coaches and it is capable of carrying 54 passengers or 10 tons of cargo from one place to another.
    Although the number of passengers is low, Transpod says that the company will solve this problem by launching multiple vehicles at a time.
    According to the company, using the Hyperloop will be 44% less expensive than air travel, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 636,000 tons annually.

  • Canada’s wildfires will receive more U.S. aid after Biden speaks with Trudeau

    Canada’s wildfires will receive more U.S. aid after Biden speaks with Trudeau

    Canada Global (Web News) On Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden ordered his government to send out “all available federal firefighting assets” that can react to the growing wildfires in Canada.

    According to the White House, Biden issued the directive after speaking with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the developing wildfire situation and promising to continue supporting Canada.

    According to a transcript of the call, “The President has directed his team to deploy all available Federal firefighting resources that can quickly assist in suppressing fires impacting Canadian and American communities.”

    Since a few days ago, the White House and the federal government in Ottawa have been in constant contact, according to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. According to the government, the United States has already sent out more than 600 firemen, personnel, and water bombers.

    The Prime Minister’s Office had said that Trudeau had spoken with Biden about the wildfires and their impact on air quality in both nations, and that he had thanked the United States for its assistance.

    An official account of the conversation stated that “both leaders acknowledged the need to work together to address the devastating impacts of climate change.”

    According to Biden’s tweets, wildfire incidents are getting worse “because of the climate crisis,” and the federal government is in contact with state and local officials.

    Americans who are exposed to hazardous air pollution must pay close attention to local authorities in order to safeguard themselves and their family, especially those who have health issues.

    On Wednesday afternoon, 440 fires were reported to be burning in nine provinces and two territories according to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre database. Over half were regarded as being out of control.

    Prior to the formal start of summer, the 2023 fire season in Canada is already the fourth worst on record with more than 40,000 square kilometres of land already burned.

    Air quality has been affected by the wildfires across North America.

  • More Canadians are experiencing allergies due to climate change, experts say

    More Canadians are experiencing allergies due to climate change, experts say

    Canada Global (Web News) Daniela Mora-Fisher and her husband, rushing their toddler to the hospital has been routine over the past two years.

    “A wheeze from a cold might develop. “A wheeze would develop into a crisis,” warned Mora-Fisher.

    Julian, who is now three, had been “struggling with respiratory distress since he was probably 18 months,” the mother claimed.

    Mora-Fisher, a physician with international training who is currently employed as a researcher in a Toronto medical facility, believes that a concoction of allergies and viruses may be the cause of what may be asthma. She said that doctors at her neighbourhood hospital had examined Julian in their asthma clinic, but they had informed her that they needed to wait until he was old enough to perform the necessary breathing tests to confirm it.

    Mora-Fisher and her husband have done everything they can to minimise allergen risks, including leaving an old property to attempt to escape mould and heavy bus traffic that she suspected of polluting the air.


    According to Dr. Susan Waserman, division director of clinical immunology and allergy at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., allergies have unquestionably increased in both children and adults over the past several years.

    Waserman noted that this has been happening for many years. I have eczema. Rhinitis due to allergies. Asthma, that is. It’s an allergy to food. Actually, it’s everything.

    The increase in allergies and asthma “can be directly linked to climate change,” according to Dr. Melissa Lem, a family physician in Vancouver and the head of the Canadian Asthma Society.

    According to research, the typical pollen season in North America has increased by nearly three weeks over the past few decades, and plants now produce 20% more pollen than they did previously, according to Lem.

    That is in line with information acquired by Aerobiology, a Canadian business that tracks allergens in the air like pollen and mould spores.

    “We are seeing a lot more pollen and higher concentrations of pollen overall in the air year over year,” said Daniel Coates, a spokesman for Aerobiology.

    Warmer weather causes pollen to react. More pollen will often be present in the air when the temperature rises.

  • Man in critical condition after head-on collision in Montreal

    Man in critical condition after head-on collision in Montreal

    Canada Global (Web News) Following a two-vehicle collision on Monday morning in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood of Montreal, a 45-year-old man is in critical condition in the hospital.

    It happened on Notre-Dame Street, close to the intersection with Davidson Street, just before 9:15 a.m.

    The man was hurt, according to Montreal police spokesman Véronique Dubuc, when the car he was driving collided directly with an approaching transport truck.

    During the ambulance ride to the hospital, he was not conscious.

    Dubuc reported that his health is still severe but stable.

    The 54-year-old truck driver was not hurt during the crash.

    According to Dubuc, it seemed as though the car somehow found itself in the path of incoming vehicles.

    To ascertain the cause of the collision, collision specialists were on the spot.

    Between Alphonse-D.-Roy Street and Pie-IX Boulevard, Notre-Dame Street was shut down in both directions to accommodate the inquiry.

  • Montreal Canadians rocked by Nashville Predators 6-3: Call of the Wilde

    Montreal Canadians rocked by Nashville Predators 6-3: Call of the Wilde

    Canada Global (Web News) A team with many rookies found seven games for the Montreal Canadians during the holidays to be too much. The young club got crushed in the mill.

    Nashville Predators handily defeated the Canadians, 6-3, to seal the sole victory of the trip.

    No matter how terrible things get, Cole Caufield is always there. As impressive a goal as he has ever scored in the NHL was the one he scored in the first period.

    Caufield started a race with Filip Forsberg after grabbing a puck at centre. One of the league’s top skaters is the Predators winger. They were next to one another. By the finish line, Caufield had established a clear lead over Forsberg.

    The genius persisted as Caufield had to maintain his backhand position to escape Forsberg’s reach and long stick following him. He succeeded in convincing Juuse Saros that he could go forehand. Caufield roofed it with a backhand while moving at full speed. Saros fell to his face, not even coming close to saving it.

    It required great talent to achieve. For the season, Caufield has 22 goals. He’s on track to score 47 goals this season. Recently, even Kirby Dach and Nick Suzuki have slowed down, but Caufield has not. His genius is still largely unsupported. He is a unique player.
