However, businesses are still allowed to ask for and check for vaccine cards, and District Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said earlier this week that many have expressed interest in doing so. “It simply came to our notice then. “We can go without a vaccine card and be just as safe before or after the vaccine card as before,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association, to Jill Bennett of 980 CKNW this week, adding that it was a good time to the tourist season is going to go up....

Sie habe “mehrere Stunden” in Paris Schlange gestanden, um abzustimmen, schrieb sie auf Twitter. “Manche Leute geben auf, weil sie nicht länger warten wollen.” Es gebe „ein organisatorisches Problem, das ein offensichtliches demokratisches Problem ist“, sagte Salomé Saque.
But Le Pen has also proved to be a serious candidate in western France, making huge gains in areas around Le Mans and even stealing Macron’s largest share of the vote in many districts. Its growing appeal, as part of an active effort to tarnish the image of the far right and its policies, is evidenced by the fact that in 2017 it garnered less than 20 percent of the vote in half of the French provinces in the first round....

However, the discovery of planets around distant stars in the 1990s made it clear that the picture was much more complex than we knew. In new research (opens in new tab), we found a hot gas giant resembling Jupiter in the process of forming around a star about 500 light-years from Earth. This rare baby of a planet in the process of forming, drawing matter from a huge disk of dust and gas swirling around its also baby sun, has opened a window into mysteries that have puzzled astronomers for years....
