BRUCE PORTER By Matthew McCully A ?re that broke out Sunday evening at a Kruger storage facility on Boulevard Bourque housing dry materials for the company was under control but still burning Monday afternoon, according to the Sherbrooke Fire Prevention service (SPIS).\u201cIt\u2019s contained, but not under control yet,\u201d commented Daniel Gingras, chief of the SPIS around 2 p.m.Monday afternoon.The ?re ?rst broke out at 6:30 p.mon Sunday evening in a large pile of dry material roughly 200 feet long by 40 feet wide, Gingras said.Roughly 20 ?re?ghters from the SPIS took part in the intervention, which lasted almost nine hours.Thinking the ?re was extinguished, the department left the scene at around 3 a.m.Monday, but was called back to the scene at 6 a.m.because the blaze had restarted.In addition to the ?re, the SPIS had to contend with a lack of pressure in the Deauville sector\u2019s water system, requiring tankers to bring water to the site.While the SPIS dealt with the ?re on the ground, the Magog, Saint- Denis-de-Brompton and the Régie de l\u2019incendie Memphremagog-Est ?re departments contributed water tankers to the intervention.On Monday afternoon Gingras said the cause of the ?re was still undetermined.There were no injuries reported.CONT\u2019D ON PAGE 3 PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL

OF -1 SATURDAY: MIX OF SUN AND CLOUD HIGH OF 2 LOW OF -7 Dear Maverick, When you graduated from high school a year and a half ago, it was already established \u2013 you were headed for the Army.Not the Reserves, like your Dad and our Dad before him, but the Reg Forces \u2013 a full- time job in the military.I have to admit, as your Auntie and godmum, there was part of me that was worried.Worried about you heading straight off into that career without an opportunity to experience a bit more of something else in the world \u2013 another trade or educational experience to round out your worldview and knowledge before the Army.Yet, you have always, since day one, had this way with an openness towards people.Even with your jokester attitude, I\u2019ve never heard of you intentionally being mean to someone.You\u2019ve always had kindness in you.Always.Maybe that\u2019s part of the reason I was afraid too.Afraid of stories I\u2019ve heard about treatment of people within the Army and by the Army.Even if we grew up with a Dad so dedicated to his Regiment (the Sherbrooke Hussars), within the ranks there are stories that go against so much of what I believe in, and that certainly kept me away from that path myself, in part for my own safety.That actually makes me sad to think about.I know women who have made their lives in the Army and have managed to build impressive careers, but there is a part of me that would have never fallen in line, and I know that.I think I\u2019ve taken the things we learned from our Dad\u2019s Army ways and I\u2019ve put it into my youth leadership work though \u2013 about order and respect, about some kinds of ritual and decorum, just in a very different world.There are many people I\u2019ve known that did explore military life and training, and I think in particular even of our Uncle Mitch, who has a blue beret to remember his time in Cyprus.Heck, he would never have met our Auntie Debbie if it weren\u2019t for my father assigning him a Christmas Mess Dinner date.The RSM\u2019s sister-in-law \u2013 NO PRESSURE.But then, he married her, and had the very best wedding day ever, the same day as the Live Aid concert, on July 13th, 1985.So, we know that the Army also creates bonds and connections, friendships and relationships that often last a lifetime.I hope that as a country we begin to understand how to best support our military members who suffer.Support and rehabilitation should always be included in the agreement when someone enlists.I hope that you are able to navigate both growing as a man and being proud of your career, and to still be open to voices outside of that world, that you are able to both be a part of the long, beloved and respected history of the military in our family \u2013 your many, many great-uncles who fought in both Great Wars, and great-aunts who participated as well too.I love that I have our great-Auntie Barbara\u2019s trunk from her time in service.In this day and age, it\u2019s a different world than when they enlisted, yet the pride we have in your accomplishments for following through on your recruit course and graduating from the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps School in late October is the same.The same as the photos of our family members in uniform with those they were leaving behind.I hope that this incredible adventure leads to you to opportunities for personal growth, for learning about the world, for developing all of the skills you wish to in this great life.I hope that, like all of the families with loved ones in the military; that wherever this career takes you, you are safe, whole, happy, supported by your corps.I know that Armistice is about remembering, about respect and acknowledgement of those who went before.But here you are, the same age as they all were once upon a time, and it feels like time is a bit of a slippery thing.Seventy-?ve years after the end of World War II, you take the same path that they did, Armoured, like your Dad and grandfather.A tradition continues, and our family\u2019s love for one another continues.I know that you will have a positive impact on those around you as you train and learn, developing your skills constantly.You\u2019re hard-working and will likely have many who know that they can rely on you to be a steady presence.While I will always worry about you anyway (this is just the way it goes, kid, you were just plain old being born and we were all already concerned for your safety, it never stops), and I trust you.I trust your decisions and drive.I trust you to use your head (that was one of the best bits of advice our Dad used to give \u2013 to lightly tap us on the forehead and say, \u2018USE.THIS.\u2019), I trust you to understand that there are other ways of being in the world than the ones we\u2019re used to.I believe in you, and am so beyond proud of you.You\u2019re a solider.For real.It feels strange to write that, and really take it in for the ?rst time.May this career enrich your life.Always know that you\u2019ve got a fan over here.You may be the Maverick, but your Auntie is the renegade.I\u2019ll always be here for you.While we remember those who fought, those we lost, those we miss but never knew, I think of you today too, brand new in this role, with the world at your feet.I know they\u2019ll be ?rmly laced up into polished boots, and ready to step up.Love, Auntie Sheila You\u2019re in the army now Sheila Quinn Dishpan Hands PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY

this year\u2019s national ceremony will be the presence of the 2020 National Silver Cross Mother Mrs.Deborah Sullivan from New Brunswick.National Remembrance Day Ceremony to be broadcast live With Remembrance Day fast approaching, The Royal Canadian Legion is reminding Canadians that the best way to pay tribute to our fallen this year, is at home.For the ?rst time ever, people are asked not to attend ceremonies in person.With Canada\u2019s major broadcasters planning to air their familiar Remembrance Day coverage, would-be spectators can pay their respects from home.The Legion will also broadcast the ceremony via Facebook Live.\u201cIt is disappointing to discourage people from attending ceremonies this year,\u201d says Danny Martin, Ceremony Director.\u201cHowever, beyond watching national and local broadcasts, thankfulness is also re?ected by wearing a Poppy, a profound gesture.And wherever they may be, Canadians can take two minutes of silence at 11 a.m.on the 11th.\u201d The pandemic and restrictions related to gatherings, has meant the planning of signi?cantly smaller ceremonies across the country, or their outright cancellation.Other gatherings are being replaced with virtual ceremonies in some communities.Among special highlights at this year\u2019s national ceremony will be the presence of the 2020 National Silver Cross Mother Mrs.Deborah Sullivan from New Brunswick.She will lay a wreath on behalf of all mothers and families who have lost children in the line of service, and in remembrance of her son, Lieutenant Navy Christopher Edward Saunders who died in 2004.Vintage aircraft will conclude the ceremony, marking the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.Traditionally, upwards of 35,000 people attend the National Remembrance Day Ceremony, organized by The Royal Canadian Legion at Ottawa\u2019s National War Memorial.Submitted by The Royal Canadian Legion Legion urges Canadians to watch from home Record Staff The upcoming holiday season is set to be one of the most challenging in recent memory with the pandemic continuing to cause problems, but Commerce Sherbrooke and Destination Sherbrooke are teaming up in an effort to lift residents\u2019 spirits.The two organizations are launching a Christmas decorations contest for residents and businesses.The goal, according to a press release, is to spread magic and warmth during the holiday season.The organizations believe this could be bene?cial for local businesses, as decorations can attract attention and provide more visibility.For residents, however, this is simply a way to get people out of the house and walk around a bright and decorated neighbourhood.In order to participate in the contest, also called La balade lumineuse, residents and businesses must be located in Sherbrooke.And decorations must be visible from the street.Participants also must agree to light their decorations from Dec.4, 2020, to Jan.3, 2021.This is a friendly contest, the organizations speci?ed in the press release, decorations do not need to be overwhelming or pretentious.Although residents are encouraged to put in as much effort as they would like.People can make their homes or businesses shine bright enough for the whole city to see, or simply line their home with colourful lighting to bring a bit of warmth to the neighbourhood.The contest guidelines are fairly loose, but they come with prizes.Residents and business owners can visit www.scintillante.ca to register for the contest.The prizes available to residents have a value of over $1,500, while the commercial category prizes have a total value of $3,000.Sherbrooke launches Christmas decorations contest six in Bromont, 77 in Granby, 106 in Sherbrooke, 12 in Windsor, 67 in Asbestos, 13 in Danville, six in Weedon, 12 in Frontenac and 44 in Lac Mégantic.In terms of speci?c outbreaks, four new schools and a sports centre were added to the list of locations under observation on Monday, although all of these had fewer than ?ve cases.As of Monday afternoon there were 20 people hospitalized for reasons related to COVID-19 in the region, three of whom were in intensive care.Contrary to what has been the case for other regions being upgraded to red alerts, there had been no of?cial press conference on the subject as of Press time Monday.During an afternoon update on the situation in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region, Health Minister Christian Dubé shared that he was \u201cpreoccupied\u201d by the situation in the region but said, at the time, that the question of changing alert status was still under discussion.\u201cThere are decisions to be made,\u201d Dubé said, putting faith in the experience and expertise of regional public health director Dr.Alain Poirier in discussion with the provincial public health team.The Sherbrooke Police, meanwhile, reported having to break up two signi?cant illegal gatherings on the weekend.The ?rst one was very early Saturday morning on Belvedere Street South where 16 of 25 participants were identi?ed and 13 ?nes of $1,546 were handed out.The second was at the Microdistillerie bar on Meadow Street downtown on Saturday night, where of?cers reported that capacity was surpassed by more than 60 people and social distancing and mask measures were not being enforced.The SPS report said that lights were ?ashed when the police arrived and bar patrons ?ed out service doors.The number of new cases across Quebec increased by 1,169 on Monday alongside the news of 15 new deaths.The number of hospitalizations increased by 13 to 540, while the number of people in intensive care dropped by one, for a total of 76.Estrie going red CONT\u2019D FROM PAGE 1 RECORD ARCHIVES PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604

that point, it seemed pretty clear that Biden would win.Still, the victory felt muted.It was a political victory, but not a moral one.The election was a lot closer than it should\u2019ve been.Yes, Biden was ahead, but by razor- thin margins.Yes, a minority of voters had cast ballots for Trump in the end.But in raw votes, that minority was still enormous.Like many, I had fantasized that Nov.3, 2020, would be a day of mass repudiation of Trumpism.A day when Americans would snap out of their strange, solipsistic dream, realizing the extent to which they were ?irting with something truly dangerous\u2014and historically rare\u2014in Trump.When that repudiation did not come, I had the feeling that I was the one living in a dream.Are we overcon?dent about the staying power of democracy?Here in the West, most of us have never known a different system of government.Yet if we look cynically enough at history, we recognize that democracies are rare and fragile things.In most times, in most places, power has been top-down, not bottom-up.All sorts of memes are rolling around the belly of the internet right now, designed to soothe disappointed idealists like me.One shows Gandhi with the quote: \u201cWhen I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won.There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall.Think of it\u2014always.\u201d Not to disagree with Gandhi, or anything\u2026 but I wondered if that statement is even true.Put simply, last week I could not avoid my dark prognostications.Although America seemed poised to switch presidents, it hadn\u2019t really rejected Trump wholesale.His impact on his nation\u2014on the entire world, in fact\u2014would certainly outlast him.He could even run again in 2024.His supporters were ?rmly behind him.And he was continuing to sow chaos and distrust by refusing to concede the election at all, claiming, without evidence, that it had been \u201cstolen\u201d from him.Apparently, Mussolini once said to his mistress: \u201cI want to make a mark on my era\u2026 like an alien with its claw.\u201d Alien or otherwise, Trump has clawed his mark on his era, and will continue to do so for some time.But then on Saturday morning, the election was actually called for Biden.And something began to change, subtly, in the collective mood.People across America were taking to the streets.They were celebrating, dancing, waving signs.They honked their horns, painted their faces, and some wept openly.They were shaking off the black psychodrama of the past four years.On Saturday evening, the new president-elect\u2014(and doesn\u2019t it feel good just to hear that phrase, \u201cpresident-elect\u201d?)\u2014delivered his ?rst of?cial speech to a jittery nation.Mr.Biden spoke for no more than 15 minutes.Yet in form, style, content, and tone, his address was like nothing we have seen from a presidential pulpit for what seems like an eternity.The speech was no long-winded ramble, full of boasts, grievances, gloating, belittling of political enemies, or veiled threats.It was the kind of speech that a normal, goodhearted person might give in such a moment.Mr.Biden reached out to all the Americans\u201470 million or so\u2014who had not voted for him.\u201cThis is the time to heal,\u201d he told them.He read a psalm.He thanked those who\u2019d helped him win.He came off as genuine\u2014that seemingly rare thing\u2014a decent human being as national leader.And in his simple, vital decency, he was precisely the man the moment demanded.Listening, I was soothed, much more than any internet meme could soothe me.Yes, Trumpism is not going anywhere.But it is not the ?nal word on America, either.Our neighbours have a lot of soul- searching to do.But right now, it is no small victory that they have voted Trump out.It is no small victory either that the man to replace him has the gift of human warmth.Whatever President Biden accomplishes over the next four years, it cannot overshadow the signi?cance of what he has already achieved.I think I speak for most Canadians in saying\u2014to him, to his administration, to all of America\u2014good luck.DEAR EDITOR, After we are exposed to a media circus like the \u2018Trump Trauma\u2019 for so long, we tune it out.Editorials about waves of pandemic and pages of rules for \u2018Covid Control\u2019 are ignored.People tend to accept these things as inevitable, ignore them and life goes on.( ?) Recovery will be long and arduous.Like Trump, Covid-19 has many long- term after-effects.For instance, the debt generated by these social diseases will affect generations to come.Are we ready to sacri?ce lives in an effort to resuscitate a terminal economy?This system has been on life support for years! The kindest thing would be to pull the plug.Compliance and courage are essential now.When an ostrich hides its head in the sand, the other end is very exposed.We are exposed.ERIC LANCASTER SHERBROOKE PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED BY PRESSREADER PressReader.com +1 604 278 4604 ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY .ORIGINAL COPY COPYRIGHT AND PROTECTED BY APPLICABLE LAW The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, November 10, 2020 Page 5 With President Biden, are Canada-U.S.relations a walk in the park?Canada-U.S.relations are very simple and very complex: our closest neighbour, our biggest customer is also the most powerful nation in the world, rumors of its demise notwithstanding.Mr.Biden likes Mr.Trudeau, that\u2019s a good start.\u201cBest buds\u201d is a long way off.Canada\u2019s best bet to make it so will be to do what we do best - proactively offer solutions to Biden that will also help Canada.Mr.Biden\u2019s prob- lem-solving starts at home - COVID recovery, which includes both a medical and an economic component, then issues such as immigration reform and movement on social and racial justice.Trade, procurement and climate are a little further down the list \u2013 all have the potential to create friction with Canada.The Canadian Global Affairs Institute (CGAI) puts our bilateral issues into three baskets: \u2022 defence and security; \u2022 trade and the border; \u2022 energy, environment and climate.Defense and security are outside my economic bailiwick; suf?ce to say that Canada and the U.S have worked closely on this ?le for close to a century - think the North American Aerospace Defense Agreement (NORAD), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and several other agreements.When and how the border will reopen is still unknown.Says CGAI, \u201cit seems likely that in addition to defense and security, public health will now be part of the screening process.\u201d Could Canada help with Biden\u2019s domestic agenda by offering to work with his administration around the delivery of COVID vaccines to the developing world?Could our experience in community health be of interest?On the trade side $2.6 billion worth of goods and services cross our borders every day.(Pre-COVID, half a million people crossed the border every day too.) More than 1 and-a-half million American and 2 million Canadian jobs are directly related to this trade.Says Robert Asselin, Senior Fellow, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, \u201cOur access to the biggest market in the world requires a permanent campaign by all levels of government working with business, labour and civil society to fend off the forces of protectionism at the local, county, state and national levels.Canada needs to leverage off this domestic agenda and identify the natural ?ts.(Biden\u2019s)\u201cbuilding back better\u201d and the trillion-dollar infrastructure plan come with the protectionist promise of \u201cBuy American.\u201d We need to persuade our neighbor of the bene?ts of continental collaboration on resilient, clean infrastructure, including our shared network of pipelines and electrical grids.\u201d The energy relationship is vital to both countries \u2013 electricity generated in Quebec literally lights up Broadway.Canada is the largest source of U.S.energy imports and the second-largest destination for U.S.energy exports.Mr.Biden has said he will cancel the Alberta-Nebraska Keystone XL pipeline, a project that is fully supported by Mr.Trudeau.The plan commits to spending US$300 billion on research and development \u2013 including electric vehicle technology, lightweight materials, 5G and arti?cial intelligence.His climate change policy indicates that Canadian exporters of carbon- intensive products to the U.S.will be less welcome.The plan also includes US$2 trillion in spending over four years in clean energy, transportation and infrastructure, and sets the goal of 100 per cent of the country\u2019s electricity generated by carbon-free sources by 2035.These promises are the kick in the butt Canada needs to develop clear public policy objectives related to competitiveness, productivity and, ultimately, rising living standards for all Canadians.Says Asselin, \u201cPolicymakers can no longer think about economic growth and public policy in the same way as in the past generation and a half.The rules of the game have changed, and countries are responding by moving swiftly to assert their competitive advantage.\u201d He points out that the new North American trade accord (USMCA) includes a competitiveness committee that we need to activate and harness for continuous improvements.\u201cCanada should match Mr.Biden\u2019s industrial policy framework with one of its own.Such an approach would challenge the Canadian government to think coherently about its economic policies and prioritize the sectors and technologies in which we have preexisting advantages, where we can gain global market share and produce economic value for the country.Think agri-food or energy, but also emerging sectors, such as advanced manufacturing and clean technology.\u201d It\u2019s not just Mr.Trudeau who must try for \u201cbest buds\u201d with Mr.Biden - our premiers and legislators need to continue their own outreach to their American counterparts.They played a critical role in persuading their gubernatorial counterparts to sign on to a Canada-U.S.reciprocity agreement as part of the recovery from the 2008-9 recession.Mr.Biden faces a split Congress: control of the Executive and the House, but probably not the Senate.That\u2019s how Wall Street likes it \u2013 little possibility that the extreme edges of policy can run away with spending.Mr.Biden has close to 5 decades of hands-on experience in the U.S.system -
