Houthi activists burn US and Israeli flags during a demonstration in solidarity with Iran and Lebanon, in Sanaa, Yemen. Yemen’s Iran‑aligned Houthi movement has declared it is prepared to join the escalating conflict involving Iran, a move that could further destabilize global shipping routes and intensify economic pressures. A senior Houthi figure told Reuters the group is “fully militarily ready with all options,” noting that any decision to act would depend on developments in the wider regional war.  The Houthis, who previously disrupted Red Sea traffic during the Gaza conflict, may once again target the Bab al‑Mandab Strait—one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints.

Canada’s Solar Eclipse: A Celestial Spectacle

On April 8, 2024, a remarkable and rare celestial event will unfold over Canada, the United States, and Mexico—a total solar eclipse. As the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, temporary darkness will sweep across parts of our country, captivating countless spectators.

In Canada, the solar eclipse’s path of totality will pass through several cities and towns in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland. During those precious minutes, lucky observers within this path will experience complete darkness as the Moon completely obscures the Sun. For those outside the path of totality, a partial solar eclipse will still be visible, with the Sun partially hidden.

Remember that looking directly at the Sun during an eclipse can lead to serious eye damage. Always use appropriate eye protection when witnessing this awe-inspiring event. The last total solar eclipse visible in Quebec was over 50 years ago (in 1972), and the next one won’t occur until 2106. So mark your calendars and prepare to witness this once-in-a-generation phenomenon!
