New Democrat ethics critic Matthew Green is calling for Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer to appear before Parliament's access to information, privacy and ethics committee to answer questions about why he broke House of Commons rules by filming a partisan video in his Parliament Hill office. Scheer shot the video to endorse a Conservative candidate in an Ontario byelection earlier this year. "In relation to media reports that parliamentary resources were inappropriately used in an attempt to influence the nomination process of the 2023 Oxford by-election, that the committee invite Andrew Scheer … to appear before committee for no less than two hours," reads Green's notice of motion.

What Speakers referee is the House of Commons itself, ensuring the rights and privileges of MPs are respected as is the decorum and work of Parliament — there’s rarely a day, for example, where the Speaker doesn’t intervene to ask MPs to mind their manners as they joust.
They do it from a largely neutral position as the job is understood by all parties to place the business of Parliament above that of partisanship. Speakers only cast a vote in the event of a tie, don’t participate in debates, stay away from partisan party caucus meetings and even have to watch their words when they campaign for seats during general elections.

All Bets Are Off: Why the PCT will be More Dangerous than Ever This Year
We've been beating the drum about the implications of this epic snow pack for the past couple of months. It is important that the Class of 2023 really take the message to heart. This will be a dangerous year to be hiking the PCT and not to be tackled by the inexperienced backpacker . . . even seasoned veterans will need to be exceedingly careful. If you don't believe us, read this excerpt of a recent article from the SF Gate.
By Eric Brooks (March 27, 2023), SF Gate
The Pacific Crest Trail draws thousands of people from all experience levels annually. Hikers regularly contend with challenges like hypothermia, heat exhaustion, poisonous plants, lightning, bears and rattlesnakes, along with wildfires and other impacts of climate change. But this year, experts warn, hikers face one of the greatest risks in the trail’s history: the record-setting Sierra Nevada snowpack.
"These large snowpacks can be susceptible to fast melt if the weather conditions are right," Andrew Schwartz, lead scientist at the Central Sierra Snow Lab, told SFGATE. "Periods of above-average temperatures, particularly if they're prolonged, can cause significant rises in stream and river flows, which can be dangerous.”

As of early March, the Sierra snowpack was already 177% above average — and could end up being the largest since the PCT was designated a National Scenic Trail in 1968. And it’s not just the Sierra. The mountains of Southern California have also seen record-setting snow totals this winter. Meanwhile, the Cascade Range — the third of three mountainous territories found along the PCT in Washington, Oregon and Northern California — has seen 99% of its average snowpack in a winter that’s smacked much of its southerly neighbors right in the mouth.
Although sunny, warm weather often shows up between Southern California and the Bay Area by May and certainly June, California’s mountains are usually still covered in snow. In fact, May and June are generally a hazardous time to hike the Sierra as "much of the trail will still be covered in snow and creeks will be full of fast-moving water, making fords dangerous," per the Pacific Crest Trail Association. Even the Tahoe section of the PCT is known to have "difficult" snow conditions into July.
Yet another cause for concern is the number of hikers setting out on the PCT. Over the past decade, the popularity of the PCT has exploded, thanks in large part to Cheryl Strayed's book "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail," and the subsequent 2014 movie starring Reese Witherspoon. The total number of issued permits skyrocketed from 1,879 in 2013 to almost 8,000 in 2019.

"More people are taking more risks and going out early in the season during heavy snow years,” Jack Haskel of the PCTA said. “There have been many preventable tragedies during the heavy snow years that were caused by large snowpacks and people traveling across steep snow, mountains covered in snow and through creeks with snowmelt. Each of these tragedies were avoidable."
Some thru-hikers, like Robert Scheer, have already started their PCT journey.

"I've been to these mountains a lot as a kid," said Scheer, who was born and raised in San Diego. "You usually get one, two storms a year. This prolonged onslaught of weather that San Diego, Southern California and really California as a whole state is having is just something that's totally bizarre. I knew that going in. I knew that starting the PCT, it was going to be a wild year."
Schneer, acknowledging the life-threatening risks that come with a record Sierra snowpack, said 2023 "is going to be the year of the flip," where hikers take on large sections of the PCT in pieces — many times out of order. "All bets are off," he said. "The idea of hiking a continuous path from Mexico to Canada, that's not going to happen this year. I just don't see very many people doing that."
Haskel, who thru-hiked the PCT himself in 2006, recalled dealing with that risk when he went during a season just after an above-average snowpack. "Some of the creek crossings were unacceptably dangerous," he said. "I thought it was too risky and it wasn't something I should be doing in June in a heavy snow year."

"I was in my early 20s and an experienced wilderness traveler used to taking a lot of risks," Haskel remembered. "By the time I got to the Sierra Nevada, I was very physically fit. If I died, it was a risk I was clear-eyed in taking and I went for it. After you successfully do something risky, sometimes you look back and think that might have been too far across the line. I did that."
There have been weighty snowpacks before, namely in 2006, 2011, 2017 and 2019, and certainly there have been deaths related to these conditions. But there are no official statistics for injury or death along the PCT. The route is managed by a laundry list of federal, state and county agencies, Native American sovereignties and even private landowners. But it’s common knowledge that big snow years lead to tragedy and heartbreak for unprepared PCT hikers, Haskel said.

It takes hikers past the fast-moving Deadman Creek along California Highway 108 between Sonora and Bridgeport on the western side of Sonora Pass, Calif., as seen on June 28, 2017. George Rose/Getty Images
The snow that’s sitting in Southern California’s mountains has already led to dozens of search-and-rescue efforts in the year’s first three months. That could mean many early-season PCT hikers will see conditions they’ve never faced that far south, only increasing in difficulty as they make their way north into the Sierra. 
"I’ve never seen that much snow in the mountains of Southern California," Haskel said.
He is advising weekend backpackers and day-hikers to delay their hikes until August, when the Sierra snow has melted. But for thru-hikers who need five months to complete the trail, Haskel knows leaving later isn’t an option. Those braving the PCT thru-hike in the face of the trail's record-setting snowpack "generally accept risks and challenges that are not the norm for most normal backpacking trips" in leaving earlier, he said.
Schneer, who plans to pick up the PCT again as a solo thru-hiker once the weather clears, will likely hike to the start of the Sierra section before taking on the northernmost section of the PCT in June. He then hopes to "flip" and do the Sierra portion of the trail last, once the snow has melted. 
"People are looking for miles that they can do safely," he explained. "I don't think anyone wants to slog through feet and feet of snow and do one or two miles a day. That's not what I signed up for."

El banco central de Israel dice que el lanzamiento del shekel digital es una 'pregunta abierta'
El banco central de Israel está impulsando sus planes para emitir un shekel digital, citando la necesidad de mejorar los sistemas de pago del país, pero el martes no se comprometió sobre si se lanzaría uno.
Tumblr media
En noviembre de 2021, el Banco de Israel intensificó su investigación y preparación para la posible emisión de un shekel digital para crear un sistema de pagos más eficiente después de considerar por primera vez la emisión de una moneda digital del banco central (CBDC) a finales de 2017.
"Si emitiremos o no un shekel digital sigue siendo una cuestión abierta, como lo es en la mayoría, si no en todas, las demás economías avanzadas", dijo el gobernador del Banco de Israel, Amir Yaron, en una conferencia sobre monedas digitales.
"De cualquier manera, seguimos comprometidos a estar en la frontera, y más que eso, a apoyar el esfuerzo de empujar la frontera, en nuestras exploraciones de CBDC, así como en nuestros esfuerzos por modernizar y hacer avanzar nuestros sistemas de pago… y la sistema financiero en general", dijo Yaron.
El banco central de Israel ha estado experimentando con un shekel digital con su homólogo de Hong Kong y el Banco de Pagos Internacionales. Dijo que el llamado proyecto Sela ha demostrado la viabilidad de una CBDC minorista y "combina accesibilidad, competencia y ciberseguridad preventiva, al tiempo que conserva las ventajas clave del efectivo físico".
Yaron dijo que dada la rápida digitalización de la economía, trabajar en una CBDC tiene sentido y señaló que Israel ha cerrado la brecha con otros países, al tiempo que enfatizó que si Israel opta por una, "proporcionará al menos tanta privacidad como los medios digitales". de pagos" y tal vez incluso un nivel más alto.
El vicegobernador Andrew Abir dijo que para Israel, la emisión de un shekel digital proporcionaría más competencia en un sistema financiero dominado por unos pocos grandes bancos e instituciones.
"La CBDC puede ofrecer igualdad de condiciones en las que los nuevos participantes puedan ofrecer productos financieros", dijo.
Abir dijo que un fuerte aumento de las tasas de interés en el último año demostró esta necesidad, ya que los bancos comerciales no transfirieron completamente los aumentos de las tasas a los saldos de sus clientes, mientras que en sus préstamos la transmisión fue total e inmediata.
"Y ha habido una reacción comprensible por parte del público", dijo Abir, añadiendo que una moneda digital podría beneficiar a los consumidores.
"Creo que los bancos centrales deberían volver a examinar la posibilidad (de) CBDC remuneradas, es decir, que el banco central pague intereses por CBDC directamente a los usuarios finales que las poseen y disfruten de la seguridad proporcionada por el banco central. Este es un tema complicado con muchas implicaciones, y necesitaremos considerarlas a medida que avance el proyecto", dijo Abir.

Opposition House Leader Andrew Scheer says Conservative MPs will continue to focus on tackling the cost-of-living crisis and quashing the Liberals’ carbon tax in the new year. Making life more affordable for Canadians, he said, is the number one priority in 2023.
“That's the five-alarm fire that Canadians are experiencing,” he told Glen McGregor on CTV’s Question Period in a year-end interview airing Sunday.
Scheer said the cost of living is the main concern of his constituents, a problem he blames on the Liberals’ spending driving up inflation. "We're going to stay focused on fighting that inflation," he said, adding that scrapping the carbon tax would also make certain expenses, like home heating, more affordable for Canadians.
Scheer said fighting back against the Liberals’ carbon price will also remain a top priority next year, as Conservative MPs repeat their calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to cancel his plans to "triple, triple, triple" the tax. In response to questions about a Conservative climate plan to replace the carbon pricing system, Scheer said that despite Trudeau being prime minister for seven years, he doesn’t believe the Liberals have presented a credible climate plan.
"He still doesn't have a climate plan; he's got a tax plan that has failed in reducing emissions," Scheer said, repeating a Conservative Party criticism of the carbon tax. "It's succeeded in making the cost of everything go up, but it hasn't helped him hit a single target that he set for himself." "Our focus will be on reducing emissions through incentives, investments in technology, and innovative ways to reduce our carbon footprint as a country, but not by raising the cost of everyday essentials," he also said.
Scheer also touched on other big stories of the year, including the trucker protest that gridlocked downtown Ottawa in January and February. Scheer was among several Conservative MPs who showed support for the protesters at the time, and he said he stands by that decision now, despite Nanos Research polling showing most Canadians would hold a negative view of a politician who supported the demonstrations.
"Standing up for individual liberty and freedom is always the right thing to do," Scheer said, adding he considers the decision to renew pandemic measures as the catalyst for the trucker protests. "It doesn't matter to me what polls say about fighting for individual liberty and the rights of people to make their own health care decisions, the right to express themselves, and the right to peacefully protest," Scheer also said. "I don't look at polls when it comes to supporting those individuals who are fighting for those freedoms." "I do it because it's the right thing to do."
While the Conservatives began 2022 under Erin O'Toole's leadership, another general election in late 2021 and disagreements within the party led to the third leader in five years being ousted by caucus and stepping down in February. Longtime MP Pierre Poilievre took over the top spot with a majority win on the first ballot in September, after a six-month leadership contest marked by vitriol and personal attacks.
During the race, candidates sold record numbers of memberships, and the Conservative Party grew to become the largest party in Canadian history. Scheer commended Poilievre for uniting the party after his victory and helping thousands of Canadians engage with politics and the Conservative Party.
“If you look at Pierre’s amazing leadership campaign, he has broken the mold on so much of both leadership and politics,” he said. “[There was] massive new engagement in our party rallies that had thousands and thousands of people out there, many of whom had never been to a political event in their life.”
It’s unlikely, however, that Poilievre will go head-to-head in a general election against Trudeau too soon. The Liberal-NDP supply-and-confidence agreement—struck in March—is intended to prop up the Trudeau government until 2025 in exchange for progress on certain policy priorities. But cracks in the deal may be starting to show, with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh threatening this week that he will pull his support if the healthcare crisis does not improve quickly. Scheer said he won't wade into speculation as to how long the deal will last or whether it will end and there will be an election in the next two years.
“I try not to spend too much time analyzing the stars, so to speak, and predicting when that's going to be,” he said. “But I do know that if our party stays focused on talking about the real issues that are affecting Canadians--mortgage rates going up, food bank usage going up, students having to choose between eating and paying their tuition--those are the types of things I hear when I come back to my riding and visit with my constituents.”

Poilievre taking Conservatives in 'good' direction: Mulroney | CTV News
Former prime minister Brian Mulroney told CTV’s Question Period he’s impressed with new Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre—who’s been on the job for nearly a month—but that he cautioned him to tack closer to the political centre if he hopes to win a general election. He thought he was very good, Mulroney said of the first time he watched Poilievre in the House of Commons as the official leader of the Opposition. He developed a sense of humour, and he thinks on his feet, which is indispensable for a successful opposition leader or prime minister.
He thinks that he's going to take the Conservative Party in a good and proper way, he added.
Mulroney said he had a private dinner with Poilievre — at Poilievre’s request — and found him to be a very good listener and a reasonable guy. But Mulroney also warned the new Conservative Party leader will likely have to set aside some of the extraneous things he campaigned on: threatening to fire the governor of the Bank of Canada, supporting the trucker protests, and encouraging Canadians to opt out of inflation using cryptocurrency.
Look, they can't get elected with that kind of stuff, Mulroney said. Canadians are not there. Canadians are in the broad, general centre. He did say to him — which is pretty obvious — that he could not, in this country, get elected from the extreme left or the extreme right. It can't happen. They have 155 years of history to prove it, he added.
Meanwhile, one of Poilievre’s top advisers, Jenni Byrne, said last month ahead of Poilievre’s victory and election as leader that he’s unlikely to take a more moderate approach post-campaign. What he sees is what he gets, Byrne said. What he should expect to hear from Pierre is exactly what he's talking about.
Mulroney said he also cautioned Poilievre against underestimating or trivializing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, especially given his record of beating out former Conservative Party leaders Stephen Harper, Andrew Scheer, and Erin O’Toole in the last three consecutive general elections. They can question his policies as prime minister; that's fair enough; but what is pretty clear is that he, Justin Trudeau, is a champion campaigner and he's a retail politician of the highest order, so they have to take that into account if they want to win an election against a successful politician like that, he explained.
The next general election is not expected until 2025, and in the meantime, the NDP has bolstered the Liberal government with a supply-and-confidence agreement the two parties struck last March.
