      This study used AEDT 2.d to estimate the pollutant emissions at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (YUL) for 2015 while quantifying the impact of the airport’s taxi time and atmospheric conditions on aircraft emissions. Using the more airport-specific parameters available and ICAO standard values otherwise, the yearly emissions of NOx, HC, CO, PM 10 , SOx, and CO 2 at YUL were, respectively, 7.64 10 2 , 1.18 10 2 , 1.33 10 3 , 1.35 10 1 , 6.77 10 1 , and 2.31 10 5 tonnes/year. The results show that reducing aircraft taxi time by 31 % reduced aircraft emissions by 6 % (NOx) and 27 % (CO). Atmospheric conditions impact aircraft emissions of NOx, CO and HC with a seasonal effect. Summer conditions reduced NOx emissions by 5 % and increased CO emissions by 2 %, while winter conditions reduced HC and CO emissions by approximately 15 % and increased NOx emissions by 1 %. To further investigate the impact of atmospheric conditions, dispersion calculations of NOx and CO emissions were carried out using identical air-traffic and weather data from the warmest and coldest weeks in 2015. The results demonstrate that pollutant concentrations were higher during the winter and that pollutants were also dispersed further during the winter than the summer according to the dominant wind direction. A 1-h NOx and CO concentrations greater than 10 μg/m 3 were found up to 24 km and 30 km, respectively, away during the winter compared to 14 km and 20 km during the summer. Yet, local air quality standards were satisfied as pollutant concentrations found outside the airport enclosure were below those standards. Read less

      Postwar Canada-us relations have been punctuated by conflicts of political and economic interest. Declassified us Central Intelligence Agency (cia) documents reveal that Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s nearly sixteen years in power (1968–84) were an especially turbulent chapter in this history. Against the backdrop of the demise of the Bretton Woods system, oil shocks, and stagflation, the cia paid close attention to Canadian policy and regulatory changes that threatened us economic and energy interests. The American intelligence community attributed the Foreign Investment Review Agency, Petro-Canada, oil export controls, and the National Energy Program to the rise of a menacing “Canada First” brand of economic nationalism. From the American vantage point, these bilateral irritants became urgent foreign policy issues in the midst of the neoliberal revolution. Thecia concluded that Trudeau was an obstacle to positive Canada-us relations and briefed policy-makers right up to the president accordingly. Read less

      From politicians with the gifts necessary to inspire and mobilize others behind causes, much is expected. In return, they receive little patience and little understanding when, almost inevitably, results fall short. Former United States Vice President Al Gore, not known for such gifts while in office, was co-awarded the 2007 Nobel peace prize for his ability to draw attention to the inconvenient truth of climate change. If only, some critics said, he had demonstrated such leadership on this issue while in office. During his last term as prime minister of Canada from 1980 to 1984, Pierre Elliott Trudeau vowed not to be a politician who waited until he was out office, as if planning a retirement project, to speak out and act on what he deemed "nonconventional," inconvenient truths. With Quebec's sovereigntists in disarray following a referendum and a charter of rights and freedoms enshrined but also with significant national economic woes and tumbling popularity, Trudeau turned the waning political capital of his last months in office to the non-conventional: a personal initiative, international in scope, focused on nuclear nonproliferation. The "Trudeau peace initiative," as it came to be known, saw the prime minister tour capitals, including Washington, London, and Moscow, to encourage east- west dialogue when the threat of nuclear war seemed great. In the history of Canadian foreign relations it made little splash, and it has been treated - in the media and the history books alike - as an insignificant and unimportant episode. That the protagonist - a man with a reputation for demonstrating sporadic interest in foreign affairs, whom pundits suggested was either grasping at legacy narratives while nearing retirement or hoping for another term - was sinking in the polls had something to do with the treatment, then and now.
