United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) administrator Alexander De Croo said on Thursday that the European Union’s long-term budget can balance defence and aid spending to ensure that Europe’s neighbourhoods are safe, as they are “two sides of the same coin.” “We see more military spending, and we totally understand that in the current circumstances,” he said. “But if you want that military spending to be as effective as possible, you will also have to invest in preventing that conflict from arising.” A stable neighbourhood means economic growth, democracy and peace, De Croo, also a former prime minister of Belgium, told…

Hundreds in the south Edmonton communities of Duggan and Rideau Park have taken legal action they hope will restrict what can and cannot be built in their neighbourhoods. They say current city infill policies have forced them to enter a restrictive covenant to limit infills in their communities.“They don’t want one of these six, seven or eight or bigger multiplexes built in the neighbourhood,” said Greg Schmaltz, one of the people who organized the signing.“Up until two days ago, we had 293 people that had registered and paid and so they’re expected either today or Sunday.”The 20-year covenant sets constraints…

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. Ever since I have known him, he has had issues with depression and anxiety. I have tried to support him through these diagnoses.  He has attempted to go to therapy several times, but he never sticks with it. Once the therapist gets to the point where they start to get into what he needs to work on, he quits. He claims no one understands what he is going through. This has impacted every aspect of his life — sleep, eating habits and his controlling attitude toward me. He…

If a drone is detected violating NATO airspace, the operation known as “Eastern Sentry” is triggered,…
