The weather will also be very humid in some regions. This is especially true in the greater Montreal area, where there will be sunny weather and the humidity factor will be close to 35 degrees, according to Environment Canada forecasts.

The Laurentians, the Capitale-Nationale and the Baie-Comeau sector have a chance of a day’s sunshine before some rainfall earlier in the week. However, the Quebec region will be affected by widespread smoke in the morning.

Other regions such as Montérégie, Outaouais, Estrie and the Sept-Îles sector will instead experience an alternation of sun and clouds. Risks of showers and thunderstorms are also on the menu.

According to Environment Canada, citizens living in the areas hardest hit by wildfires must live with widespread smoke development. This temperature will mainly affect Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean.

The smog alert issued by Environment Canada will also affect the cities of Gatineau, Montreal, Quebec and surrounding areas. It will therefore affect almost the entire province.

A puppy stuck in a car for nearly 24 hours after its owner forgot where she parked the vehicle was rescued “in extremis” in France on Friday thanks to an appeal by a local radio station.

“A puppy has been stuck in a car in the town of Saint-Cyprien for almost 24 hours. The owner cannot remember where it is parked. It is a dark blue 206 with registration 76″ that Corinne, a member of the association “Un gîte, une bowl”, launched on the radio waves of France Bleu Roussillon.

At the time of the call for help, time was short due to the heat. It was only minutes before a listener spotted the seven-month-old Yorkie near her home.

“Fortunately, the car was relatively in the shade and with the windows open,” said Corinne when the little beast was out of danger.

As a thank you for her gesture, the heroine of the situation was invited to the restaurant.

Dominican basketball player ‘suffers fatal heart attack during stress test after claiming mandatory COVID-19 vaccination caused him to develop myocarditis, causing him to collapse in 2021’

A Dominican basketball player died this week of an apparent heart attack after previously blaming two “mandatory” doses of the Pfizer vaccine he received during the COVID-19 pandemic for a case of myocarditis.

Óscar Cabrera Adames, 28, battled myocarditis – an inflammation of the heart – and underwent a stress test in Santo Domingo this week, during which he suffered a heart attack and died, according to several reports. It’s not clear if the stress test caused the heart attack. Dominican sports journalist Hector Gomez was one of the first to report on his death.

According to the American Heart Association, myocarditis reduces the heart’s ability to pump blood, making strenuous exercise potentially fatal.

After his death, old social media posts by Cabrera Adames resurfaced, showing how he blamed the rare disease on the COVID vaccine.

“I got f***ing myocarditis from taking that f***ing vaccine (I got two doses of Pfizer),” reads part of his translated social media post from January. “And I knew it! Many people have warned me. But guess what? It was compulsory, otherwise I couldn’t work. I’m an international professional athlete and I play in Spain. I have no health problems, nothing, not hereditary, no asthma, NOTHING!’

Cabrera Adames was playing in a Spanish amateur league in 2021 when he passed out during a game.

“I suddenly fell to the ground in the middle of the game and almost died,” his social media post reads. “I’m still recovering and I’ve had 11 different cardiology tests done and guess what? You won’t find anything.’

According to WebMD, there have only been about 1,000 cases of myocarditis in people who received the vaccine. Most patients with myocarditis developed disease within a few days of vaccination and recovered quickly.

“Most cases of myocarditis go away on their own,” says an article from Johns Hopkins Medicine, a hospital affiliated with one of the top medical schools in the country. “Other cases recover several months after treatment.” In some cases, this condition can come back and cause inflammation-related symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath.

There may also be a link between COVID-19 infection and myocarditis.

A study analyzed 43 million cases by the American Heart Association and found that the risk of myocarditis after infection with COVID was significantly higher than after vaccination against the virus.

“We have found that in this large dataset, the entire COVID-19 vaccinated population of England was at significant risk of post-COVID-19 myocarditis during a key 12-month period of the pandemic when COVID-19 vaccines first became available vaccination.” “Low compared to the risk of myocarditis after COVID-19 infection,” said lead author Martina Patone in a press release.

“Overall, the risk of myocarditis after SARS-CoV-2 infection is greater than after COVID-19 vaccination and remains low after consecutive doses, including a booster dose of BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine,” the conclusion reads Study. “However, the risk of post-vaccination myocarditis is higher in younger men, particularly after a second dose of the mRNA-1273 vaccine.”

Nephew of Dominican basketball legend Hugo Cabrera, Cabera played junior college ball at Daytona State College in Florida.

In 2016, he was among a dozen men arrested by Florida sheriff’s deputies for allegedly attempting to have sex with a minor. According to Tampa Bay journalist Jenna Bourne.

China on Sunday sought to bolster Russian President Vladimir Putin – praising his “strategic leadership” and calling for stability – but only after the dust had settled over a short-lived mutiny that challenged his rule.

Beijing was silent all Saturday while the Wagner mercenary group seized the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and stormed Moscow with demands for a change in military leadership from Putin. Meanwhile, Western governments issued concerned statements, assuring they were monitoring the rapidly evolving situation in Russia.

Beijing only spoke up long after the Russian head of state had reached an agreement with Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin late on Saturday and ended the military uprising.

“This is a matter of Russia’s internal affairs,” the Foreign Ministry in Beijing said in a statement on Sunday. “China supports Russia in maintaining national stability and ensuring development and prosperity.”

Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu received Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko in Beijing on Sunday spoke more positively about the Russian leader. “Under the strategic leadership of President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin, Sino-Russian political trust has continued to deepen,” Ma said.

However, Beijing made it public that Beijing wanted Moscow to update China as soon as possible in the future. According to the ministry, Ma urged Rudenko to “communicate and carry out cross-checks in a timely manner” given the “complex and difficult international atmosphere.”

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Rudenko’s trip to Beijing was a follow-up to Xi’s visit to Russia in March, aimed at cementing and expanding bilateral ties.

“The Chinese side expressed its support for the Russian leadership’s efforts to stabilize the situation in the country in connection with the events of June 24 and reiterated its interest in the strengthened unity and further prosperity of Russia,” the statement said of the Russian Ministry.

Xi has repeatedly backed Putin throughout the war that began last year, keeping Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy waiting for more than a year before making direct contact. China maintains trade with Russia, whose economy is largely under Western sanctions, but the two countries are reluctant to form a military alliance.
