Then, at the beginning of June, scores of new fires raged in the eastern Canadian province of Quebec, some of which were ignited by lightning Fire season in Quebec usually starts in late May. In an average year, only 247 hectares (a square mile) of area would be burned by June 5, according to Quebec’s fire prevention agency (SOPFEU). But so far this year, 160,000 hectares (600 square miles) have burned The fire prevention agency said the fierce start to the season has in part been due to high temperatures and dry conditions in the province NASA Earth Observatory image by Lauren Dauphin, using MODIS data from NASA EOSDIS LANCE and GIBS/Worldview.

Sociologue et professeur retraité de l’Université du Québec en Outaouais école Manikoutai et cégep de Sept-Îles (1971-1983) ; président du FTU (1971-1972) et conseiller syndical au Conseil central de Sept-Îles (1975-1998)* tant du secteur public que du secteur privé s’absentaient du travail et investissaient les lieux publics selon le modèle de l’occupation ouvrière d’une usine la ville était sous le contrôle des syndicats avec la complicité d’une portion non négligeable de la population la seule voie d’accès terrestre à ce milieu était sectionnée à l’ouest et bloquée par des poids lourds à l’est Ces débrayages étaient provoqués par l’emprisonnement des présidents des trois centrales syndicales (FTQ dont les syndicats affiliés du secteur public négociaient en front commun le renouvellement de leurs conventions collectives Cette forme de contrôle et de paralysie d’une partie des activités courantes de ce milieu a été rapidement désignée comme l’occupation syndicale d’une ville Des comptes rendus de cet événement ont été fournis à des moments différents et sur des supports divers : médias d’information ouvrages d’histoire et de sciences sociales Une partie de ces informations écourtent cette période d’emprise syndicale sur la ville ce n’est que le 17 mai que les ouvriers de la construction et les salariés du secteur public sont retournés au travail en dépit du déploiement d’un contingent important de la Sûreté du Québec qui avait transité par l’aéroport la nuit du 10 au 11 mai dans le but de contrôler la population Nous sommes quelques signataires à avoir été des témoins impliqués de diverses façons dans cette occupation plusieurs commentateurs tendent à faire coïncider l’effritement de l’action syndicale avec le drame de la voiture qui a foncé dans la foule des manifestants sur le terrain du palais de justice en fin de journée le 10 mai Il en est résulté un décès et 35 blessés supplémentaires sans parler des traumatismes profonds causés chez ces derniers et aussi chez les témoins qui ont évité de près l’impact physique les élites locales et autres rébarbatifs à la protestation sociale ont eu tôt fait d’attribuer un tel geste à l’action syndicale : voilà à quoi aboutit l’action des syndicats il y a une première rectification à établir : le geste de celui qu’on a désigné comme le « chauffard » était un acte délibéré de la part de cette personne qui en voulait aux syndicats Des témoins l’ont entendu dans au moins un bar Il ne s’agissait pas du geste d’un conducteur en état d’ébriété qui fait une manœuvre dangereuse sur une route il peut avoir agi avec des facultés affaiblies mais il était déterminé à s’attaquer aux manifestants un qualificatif qu’on n’a pas osé utiliser dans les commentaires et les analyses Il y a une deuxième rectification à établir on attribue l’événement de l’occupation de la ville à une action spontanée déclenchée par quelques militants plus audacieux qui ont bloqué la route une telle mobilisation populaire ne peut pas surgir spontanément et se maintenir sur une période aussi importante il y eut l’élément déclencheur de l’emprisonnement des chefs syndicaux Mais on doit savoir aussi qu’au cours des deux années précédentes des représentants de syndicats locaux affiliés aux trois centrales s’étaient donné un important programme d’intervention en se regroupant dans le Front des travailleurs unis (FTU) des lots pour que des salariés ordinaires puissent se construire des maisons familiales alors que des entrepreneurs monopolisaient terrains et logements Cette action était ancrée à la fois dans le projet de l’émancipation nationale ou l’indépendance du Québec et dans la profonde aspiration ouvrière et populaire à la maîtrise de son environnement et de ses conditions de vie un troisième rectificatif doit être apporté en ce qui concerne les contributions d’un mouvement social qui s’est déployé avec une telle ampleur tandis que d’autres le présentent plutôt comme une défaite étant donné que cela n’aurait rien apporté tant pour les salariés en grève que pour la population en général D’un côté, les négociations de 1972 ont effectivement abouti, déjà à court terme, au salaire plancher réclamé de 100 $ par semaine, ainsi qu’à la réduction des écarts salariaux, à la sécurité d’emploi, aux caisses de retraite, en plus d’avoir une incidence sur le salaire minimum et

development department in order to share information and needs relating to these projects the SFP Pointe-Noire wishes to obtain the following information: "We invite all developers working on a mining or transformation project in the Labrador Trough in the short to share the anticipated needs of infrastructure and services.   Therefore we will be able to ensure that our strategic plan is aligned

Registration is now open Sign up for the latest news from CIM Magazine and the Canadian Institute of Mining St Barbara has released a prefeasibility study for its 15 Mile gold project in Nova Scotia, as reported by Mining.com The study estimated that $182 million of capital will be needed to bring the project into production and that it could produce up to 60,000 gold ounces a year over an 11-year mine life The estimated post-tax net present value is $174 million using an internal rate of return of 20.3 per cent The International Lead and Zinc Study Group predicted the global refined zinc market will have a surprising surplus of 248,000 tonnes in 2023, compared to the previously forecast 45,000 tonne deficit earlier this year, as reported by Reuters has caused prices to slide 16 per cent from the start of the year The metal is heavily used in steelmaking and automobile production Teck Resources’ CEO Jonathan Price said that the company is not exclusively looking at price as it prepares to sell its coal business, and will consider other factors including environmental record and execution risk, as reported by Bloomberg Teck has said that its coal business could be sold off as a unit or in parts as it becomes a standalone metals producer The eventual deal will need to be approved by the federal government which has stressed the importance of environmental track records and maintaining a local workforce In order to restore investor confidence, miners must commit to high-quality prefeasibility and feasibility studies wrote Manochehr Oliazadeh in the September/October issue of CIM Magazine some companies saved time by forgoing metallurgical testwork and engineering which ultimately resulted in cost and schedule overruns The post-2014 low metal prices and cutthroat funding market exacerbated this problem and ushered in a new normal of low-quality prefeasibility and feasibility studies Newmont has reached a preliminary agreement with the workers’ union at its Peñasquito gold mine in Zacatecas The union has been striking since June 7 and is close to resuming operations The preliminary agreement was ratified by the union’s general assembly and is in the process of being formalized into an official agreement That’s all for this week.

but when it happens Carbonneau had long ago stopped wondering whether the call would come from the Hall of Fame Forty years after he was a third-round selection (No 44) of the Montreal Canadiens in the 1979 NHL Draft and 19 years after he played the last of his 1,318 NHL games he is going into the Hall of Fame.The 59-year-old is a three-time Stanley Cup champion and three-time winner of the Selke Trophy voted the best defensive forward in the NHL in 1988 403 assists) in 19 NHL seasons.Carbonneau is one of five children born to Mary Ferguson who will be at her son's Hall of Fame induction six weeks before Carbonneau won his third Stanley Cup title a small port city at the mouth of the Saint Lawrence Seaway almost 600 miles northeast of the city where he became a star the Montreal Forum seemed an impossible distance away age 15 as a midget-age player in Sept-Iles and a few years later as captain with major-junior Chicoutimi.Drafted in 1976 by Chicoutimi of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League Carbonneau left home at age 16 to play 350 miles away in a city most famous as the birthplace of Georges Vezina a pioneering Canadiens goalie."Jean Beliveau was the name I heard a lot as a boy," he said of the iconic 10-time Stanley Cup-winning center and former Canadiens captain Henri Richard and the Flower (Guy Lafleur)."Carbonneau tore up the QMJHL in his third of four seasons with Chicoutimi 79 assists) in 72 games."I got a call the day of the 1979 NHL Draft from Prof [Ron] Caron or Claude Ruel," he said of Caron a Canadiens scout and assistant general manager "They asked if I'd be happy if the Canadiens drafted me Guy Carbonneau prepares a stick for use in Chicoutimi.Midway through the round someone found Carbonneau on a fairway and drove him back to a clubhouse telephone; according to radio reports of the low-key draft being held in a Montreal hotel he had been chosen by the Canadiens."I finished the round but I have no idea how I played," he said with a laugh.Carbonneau had not set foot in the famous Forum until his first Canadiens training camp in the fall of 1979 a 19-year-old preparing for his final season with Chicoutimi."In Sept-Iles I'd rather have been playing hockey than watching it," he said.There were no development or rookie camps then Carbonneau simply showed up at the Forum for training camp He remembers being blown away "by all the crazy history."Frozen in his memory are the photos of the Hall of Famers above the dressing-room benches he will join at Bell Centre when his portrait is added with the Canadiens home to the Ottawa Senators he'll also to be added to the arena's upper-bowl Ring of Honor which celebrates every enshrined Canadiens player and builder I had Guy Lafleur and Steve Shutt as my wingers I didn't want to," he said of the forwards who helped the Canadiens to their fourth consecutive championship in 1978-79 with a combined 206 points (89 goals 117 assists).Carbonneau impressed Canadiens brass who told him to return to junior and focus on defense He did that by scoring 182 points (72 goals each time returning to Montreal's American Hockey League affiliate in Nova Scotia told to work on his two-way game.After scoring 88 points in 1980-81 and 94 points in 1981-82 Carbonneau wondered whether his time in Montreal would ever come."At that point I'm either playing in the NHL or I wanted to be traded," he said the Canadiens traded forwards Doug Risebrough and Doug Jarvis Coach Bob Berry was publicly critical of the rookie center who had been a generously used goal-scorer in junior and minor pro but was now an NHL checker playing single-digit minutes.It was when Jacques Lemaire succeeded Berry with 17 games remaining in the 1983-84 season that Carbonneau's NHL career turned a corner."We had some injuries and I had started killing some penalties with Bob," he said My idea is to play you against the best players but you'll have to be careful.'"Carbonneau embraced the defensive role never seeing his rebranding as a slap at his offensive skills and offensive opportunities would present themselves 'I wish the Canadiens had let me be a goal-scorer somebody who put points on the board,'" he said That defensive role gave me the chance to play 20 minutes a game."Carbonneau was absorbing hockey IQ every day from Bob Gainey Gainey was voted winner of the Selke Trophy the first four times it was awarded (1978-81) Carbonneau and rugged forward Chris Nilan formed a robust line in Montreal.Carbonneau won his first of three Stanley Cup titles in 1986 He graduated to the Canadiens captaincy upon Gainey's retirement sharing the honor with defenseman Chris Chelios in 1989-90 then having the duties alone from 1990 until he was traded to the St Carbonneau was captain when the Canadiens won the Cup in 1993 their 24th and most recent championship.That 1993 Stanley Cup Final against the Los Angeles Kings was his defining moment Center Wayne Gretzky had four points in Game 1 (two goals a 4-1 Los Angeles win in which The Great One skated circles around Canadiens checking."Give me Gretzky," Carbonneau told coach Jacques Demers before Game 2 and Demers did so every chance his line matchups permitted.In the remaining four games two assists)."That defined me because that's the way I am," Carbonneau said "My idea was to have Gretzky so that (forwards) Kirk Muller and [Vincent Damphousse] could do what they wanted to do and Kirk and Vinnie can play more offense and not worry about it I've always had confidence in what I can do." sending a glowing text message to Carbonneau upon his Hall of Fame election."I don't remember what Wayne said to me in the handshake line," Carbonneau said with a laugh "But he told me in his text that he was happy for me all the email and voicemail and texts that I've got one thing that's come back a lot is respect."Carbonneau played the 1994-95 season in St Louis that led to a trade to the Dallas Stars Carbonneau won his third championship in 1999.He played his final season in 1999-2000 throwing away virtually all of his equipment when the Stars lost a six-game Stanley Cup Final to the New Jersey Devils I told my wife

Merci d'avoir été des nôtres. Soyez de retour demain pour plus de nouvelles. Les résidents de Sept-Îles, de Port-Cartier et des environs pourraient remarquer une plus forte odeur de fumée au cours des prochaines heures en raison d’un changement de direction des vents qui devrait survenir en début de soirée. Environnement Canada a publié lundi après-midi un bulletin spécial sur la qualité de l’air pour la région. Les particules fines dans la fumée des feux de forêt constituent le principal risque pour la santé. Les risques pour la santé augmentent au fur et à mesure que les niveaux de fumée augmentent, écrit l’agence gouvernementale. D’après lui, ces vents, qui atteindront des vitesses de 15 à 20 kilomètres à l’heure, seront insuffisants pour souffler les incendies en direction des zones habitées de Port-Cartier. Ceux-ci poussaient plutôt les brasiers en direction opposée de la ville lundi. À peine 15 minutes après le feu vert donné à l’opération de réintégration, plusieurs résidents évacués de Port-Cartier faisaient déjà la file pour regagner leur domicile. On est content de revenir chez nous, déclare une automobiliste, après avoir franchi le point de contrôle installé par la Sûreté du Québec. Même si les deux brasiers ne sont pas encore maîtrisés, on a un bout de fait, croit-elle. On est surtout content que la maison soit là, affirme une autre Port-Cartoise, temporairement hébergée chez sa belle-sœur. Quand ça a commencé, c’était quand même paniquant un petit peu, mais tout s’est bien passé. Si une certaine légèreté peut être perçue dans le ton des résidents interrogés, ils ont tout de même été prévenus qu’ils devaient être prêts en cas de nouvelle évacuation, si la situation des feux de forêt devait se dégrader. Plusieurs citoyens interrogés avouent avoir été pris de court par l’avis d’évacuation lancé vendredi. On va garder une valise près, on va être mieux préparés, jure une dame. Tant et aussi longtemps qu’il n’y aura pas de pluie et que le temps sera chaud et sec, les deux incendies au nord de Port-Cartier resteront actifs, soutient la SOPFEU. Quelque 180 pompiers forestiers sont à l'œuvre sur la Côte-Nord, en plus de 15 hélicoptères et neuf avions-citernes. Toutefois, des précipitations sont attendues mercredi pour le secteur de Port-Cartier. Avec l’arrivée du système, il va y avoir plus d’humidité dans l’air, les choses devraient être plus calmes mercredi. Par contre, un peu de pluie n’éteindra pas les incendies, il va rester beaucoup de travail pour nos équipes, a affirmé Mélanie Morin, porte-parole de la SOPFEU. Feu 211 (lac Walker) : toujours non maîtrisé, superficie de plus de 1 165 hectares. Le travail de terrain se fait principalement au sud. Quatre avions-citernes y sont dépêchés. Feu 221 (lac Morin) : toujours non maîtrisé, environ 919 hectares. 24 pompiers forestiers y sont déployés en plus de deux hélicoptères qui y effectuent des opérations d’arrosage. Même si les experts consultés par les autorités portcartoises ont donné le feu vert à la réintégration des domiciles dans les quartiers Parc-Dominique et Parc-Brunel, le maire Alain Thibault souligne que la situation pourrait changer en peu de temps. Si, [par] exemple, la situation devait se détériorer, c'est sûr qu'il va falloir - ce n'est pas ce qu'on souhaite - procéder à une évacuation peut-être beaucoup plus massive. Même si l’état d’urgence est maintenu, les citoyens peuvent réintégrer leur logement dès cet après-midi. Après une rencontre avec la SOPFEU et les experts de la Sécurité publique, la Ville de Port-Cartier juge que la réintégration des domiciles peut se faire de façon sécuritaire. Quelque 1000 citoyens, évacués depuis vendredi, pourront donc retourner chez eux, même si deux feux ne sont toujours pas maîtrisés à une quinzaine de kilomètres de Port-Cartier. La météo prévoit un temps plus chaud et plus sec aujourd’hui et demain, ce qui entraînera une augmentation de l’intensité des feux, indique la Ville de Sept-Îles. Elle prévoit que les panaches de fumée pourraient être plus visibles. Le travail au sol et l’arrosage par hélicoptère se poursuit sur le feu 212 à l’est de la rivière Sainte-Marguerite, considéré comme contenu. La qualité de l’air pourrait varier aujourd’hui en fonction des vents. L’équipe des mesures d’urgence de la Ville de Port-Cartier a brossé le portait de la situation cet avant-midi, notamment pour informer les citoyens qui attendent de réintégrer leur domicile. Sur les publications Facebook de la Ville de Port-Cartier, des Portcartois expriment leur impatience. Ils ont hâte de retourner chez eux. Plusieurs scénarios sont sur la table, on est en mode analyse par rapport à nos sinistrés. Les travaux continuent dans le nord de la ville pour protéger les infrastructures entourées d’arbres, comme les maisons et les bâtiments industriels et commerciaux, tandis que les vents poussent encore les brasiers vers le nord. Bien que la situation s’améliore, elle est trop instable […] pour permettre une réintégration des secteurs résidentiels. Depuis ce matin, des ressources au sol s’ajoutent aux attaques aériennes. Pour l’instant, les ressources de la SOPFEU sont suffisantes, selon les autorités sur place. On n’a pas encore fait de demandes aux autres provinces. Un analyste en comportement des feux survole présentement les secteurs touchés. Ses données permettront de donner l’heure juste sur l’incendie au nord de Sept-Îles. Ce feu près de la rivière Nipissis, le 214, est plus imprévisible, car il fait rage dans un secteur qui a déjà brûlé l’année dernière. Avec ses 3070 hectares, il s’approche de la pourvoirie Moisie-Nipissis.

Deux des trois brasiers au nord de Port-Cartier ne sont toujours pas maîtrisés, mais les vents poussent les flammes à l'opposé de la ville. Au total, 9 avions-citernes, 15 hélicoptères et 180 pompiers forestiers, combattants auxiliaires et employés de soutien de la SOPFEU sont déployés pour combattre les feux sur la Côte-Nord. Plus de mille résidents de Port-Cartier ont pu regagner leur domicile lundi après-midi après avoir été évacués vendredi. La Ville de Port-Cartier maintient toutefois l'état d'urgence. Le feu de forêt qui brûle au nord de Sept-Îles est contenu, mais la Ville maintient son avis de préalerte d’évacuation pour les secteurs de Gallix et du Lac-Labrie.

demain matin : les vents vont repasser au sud-ouest donc ce qui va apporter un nouveau répit pour les régions qui sont près de la côte À peine 15 minutes après le feu vert donné à l’opération de réintégration plusieurs résidents évacués de Port-Cartier faisaient déjà la file pour regagner leur domicile après avoir franchi le point de contrôle installé par la Sûreté du Québec Même si les deux brasiers ne sont pas encore maîtrisés On est surtout content que la maison soit là temporairement hébergée chez sa belle-sœur c’était quand même paniquant un petit peu Si une certaine légèreté peut être perçue dans le ton des résidents interrogés ils ont tout de même été prévenus qu’ils devaient être prêts en cas de nouvelle évacuation si la situation des feux de forêt devait se dégrader Plusieurs citoyens interrogés avouent avoir été pris de court par l’avis d’évacuation lancé vendredi Tant et aussi longtemps qu’il n’y aura pas de pluie et que le temps sera chaud et sec les deux incendies au nord de Port-Cartier resteront actifs Quelque 180 pompiers forestiers sont à l'œuvre sur la Côte-Nord en plus de 15 hélicoptères et neuf avions-citernes des précipitations sont attendues mercredi pour le secteur de Port-Cartier il va y avoir plus d’humidité dans l’air les choses devraient être plus calmes mercredi un peu de pluie n’éteindra pas les incendies il va rester beaucoup de travail pour nos équipes Feu 211 (lac Walker) : toujours non maîtrisé superficie de plus de 1 165 hectares Le travail de terrain se fait principalement au sud Quatre avions-citernes y sont dépêchés Feu 221 (lac Morin) : toujours non maîtrisé 24 pompiers forestiers y sont déployés en plus de deux hélicoptères qui y effectuent des opérations d’arrosage Même si les experts consultés par les autorités portcartoises ont donné le feu vert à la réintégration des domiciles dans les quartiers Parc-Dominique et Parc-Brunel le maire Alain Thibault souligne que la situation pourrait changer en peu de temps la situation devait se détériorer c'est sûr qu'il va falloir - ce n'est pas ce qu'on souhaite - procéder à une évacuation peut-être beaucoup plus massive Même si l’état d’urgence est maintenu les citoyens peuvent réintégrer leur logement dès cet après-midi Après une rencontre avec la SOPFEU et les experts de la Sécurité publique la Ville de Port-Cartier juge que la réintégration des domiciles peut se faire de façon sécuritaire même si deux feux ne sont toujours pas maîtrisés à une quinzaine de kilomètres de Port-Cartier La météo prévoit un temps plus chaud et plus sec aujourd’hui et demain ce qui entraînera une augmentation de l’intensité des feux Elle prévoit que les panaches de fumée pourraient être plus visibles Le travail au sol et l’arrosage par hélicoptère se poursuit sur le feu 212 à l’est de la rivière Sainte-Marguerite La qualité de l’air pourrait varier aujourd’hui en fonction des vents L’équipe des mesures d’urgence de la Ville de Port-Cartier a brossé le portait de la situation cet avant-midi notamment pour informer les citoyens qui attendent de réintégrer leur domicile Sur les publications Facebook de la Ville de Port-Cartier Plusieurs scénarios sont sur la table on est en mode analyse par rapport à nos sinistrés Les travaux continuent dans le nord de la ville pour protéger les infrastructures entourées d’arbres comme les maisons et les bâtiments industriels et commerciaux tandis que les vents poussent encore les brasiers vers le nord Bien que la situation s’améliore elle est trop instable […] pour permettre une réintégration des secteurs résidentiels des ressources au sol s’ajoutent aux attaques aériennes les ressources de la SOPFEU sont suffisantes On n’a pas encore fait de demandes aux autres provinces Un analyste en comportement des feux survole présentement les secteurs touchés Ses données permettront de donner l’heure juste sur l’incendie au nord de Sept-Îles Ce feu près de la rivière Nipissis car il fait rage dans un secteur qui a déjà brûlé l’année dernière il s’approche de la pourvoirie Moisie-Nipissis ce qui va faire en sorte que la fumée va être transportée à nouveau vers la côte"}}\">On s’attend à ce que la qualité de l'air se détériore ce soir à partir de 20 h alors que les vents vont passer au nord-ouest ce qui va apporter un nouveau répit pour les régions qui sont près de la côte"}}\">Bonne
