ASEAN ministerial meeting: another failed attempt to address Myanmar issue - what's next?

Retrieved on: 
Saturday, July 29, 2023

This brought together top diplomats from Southeast Asian countries and partner countries outside the region, including the United States (US), China, Australia, Japan and South Korea.

Key Points: 
  • This brought together top diplomats from Southeast Asian countries and partner countries outside the region, including the United States (US), China, Australia, Japan and South Korea.
  • This year’s chair, Indonesia, wants to focus on how ASEAN can foster collaboration amidst regional and global changes.
  • This is because ASEAN has not been able to meaningfully address the situation in Myanmar.

Why Myanmar matters

    • Not only that, but the current crisis in Myanmar has created a refugee flow of people fleeing the conflict between the Junta and the Opposition.
    • According to the United Nations, more than one million Myanmar people has been internally displaced.
    • The failure to solve the Myanmar crisis will have a huge impact on unity and threatens ASEAN’s credibility in the long run.

Continuous failure

    • This has become the primary reference for ASEAN’s conflict resolution approach in Myanmar.
    • However, until now, the Junta has largely ignored the consensus, leading to a rift within ASEAN over how to further engage the Junta.
    • Meanwhile, Myanmar’s opposition group released a statement criticising ASEAN’s “continued” failure to resolve the crisis.

Engaging countries outside region

    • Perhaps this is the time for ASEAN to acknowledge it cannot resolve the Myanmar conflict alone and to coordinate more with ASEAN partner countries.
    • The principle forbids ASEAN countries from interfering in each other internal affairs.
    • This is just one example on further cooperation between ASEAN and its partner countries to solve the Myanmar conflict.

Fusing traditional culture and the violin: how Aboriginal musicians enhanced and maintained community in 20th century Australia

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, July 26, 2023

The European violin was initially an imposition on Indigenous culture.

Key Points: 
  • The European violin was initially an imposition on Indigenous culture.
  • But Aboriginal engagement with the violin cannot be exclusively seen as a means of cultural loss.
  • As my new research shows, Indigenous violin playing throughout 20th century Australia saw Aboriginal people adapting the European violin to fit within ongoing cultural practices.

Cultural continuation

    • Western music was often taught to Aboriginal people as a means of demonstrating civility and as preparation for assimilation into white Australian society.
    • Aboriginal people used music in the creation and preservation of individual, cultural and collective identities.
    • As historian Anna Haebich writes, Jetta played the violin for local dances, weddings and Nyungar-only campfire gatherings in the bush.

An Aboriginal jazz band

    • Music was provided by an Aboriginal jazz band playing locally made violins, banjos, steel guitars and gum leaves.
    • This couple walking down the aisle as these musicians played the Wedding March provides a rich evocation of the way western instruments were incorporated into Aboriginal music and events on their own terms.

Violins at a corroboree

    • An article from the Northern Champion in 1934 recounts a concert and corroboree that occurred in Purfleet, New South Wales, for the local “townspeople”.
    • The first part of the program was devoted to songs and native dances, followed by a corroboree which illustrated elements of native lore.
    • Each instrument was homemade and included single-string fiddles, violins and ukuleles made from tea chests.

Indigenous players today

    • These historical violinists are the predecessors of creative and innovative Indigenous string players who enrich our contemporary cultural life today.
    • Noongar violist, composer and conductor Aaron Wyatt made history in 2022 as the first Indigenous conductor of a state orchestra.

Airborne Survey Identifies Multiple Graphite Exploration Targets Adjacent to LDI Graphite Mine in Québec

Retrieved on: 
Monday, July 24, 2023

The survey has revealed exciting findings that indicate significant potential for graphite mineralization.

Key Points: 
  • The survey has revealed exciting findings that indicate significant potential for graphite mineralization.
  • Particularly, two highly promising exploration targets, T1 and T2, have been identified north of the Lac des Iles graphite mine (the “LDI”), currently owned by Northern Graphite Corp (TSXV: NGC) (see Figure 1 below).

On the 10th anniversary of the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster, what's changed?

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, June 27, 2023

It killed 47 people, orphaned 26 children, spilled a record six million litres of oil and incinerated the town centre.

Key Points: 
  • It killed 47 people, orphaned 26 children, spilled a record six million litres of oil and incinerated the town centre.
  • Euphemistically called co-regulation or partnership, it was, in effect, self-regulation.

    Why major Canadian railways must no longer be permitted to police themselves

Oil by rail

    • In the years leading up to the disaster, the volume of oil transported by rail in Canada soared from 500 tank cars in 2009 to 160,000 in 2013.
    • In 2009, there was the equivalent of 14 tank carloads of crude oil per inspector working under the federal government’s Transportation of Dangerous Goods Program.
    • The first to move cargo under the single-operator rule, MMA’s DOT-111 tank cars were originally designed for carrying corn oil.

Who’s been held accountable?

    • No senior official, politician, corporate executive, director or owner has been held to account for their role and responsibility for the tragedy.
    • Successive governments have refused demands by the community to establish an independent commission of inquiry.
    • After repeated delays, Québec Superior Court ruled in December 2022 that CP could not be held liable for damages suffered by the Lac-Mégantic victims — another setback in the fight for justice.

Disaster aftershocks

    • The Lac-Mégantic community has been plagued by a legacy of economic, health and environmental aftershocks following the disaster.
    • Those whose lands will be appropriated are seen as the latest victims of the disaster.
    • In the meantime, another Lac-Mégantic-type disaster is still possible.

Ongoing safety issues

    • Transport Canada’s safety management systems have continuously been on the Transportation Safety Board’s (TSB) watchlist created to highlight “those issues posing the greatest risk to Canada’s transportation system.” In its most recent 2022 watchlist, the board noted that safety management systems are “still not effectively identifying hazards and mitigating risks in rail transportation.” What’s more, the federal government is failing to lift the veil on corporate activities protected by commercial confidentiality.
    • When compared to legislation internationally, Canada’s access-to-information laws and whistleblower protections rank poorly.
    • Fatigue remains on the TSB watchlist as posing a safety risk to operations.

‘Window still open’

    • If we are to minimize the risk of future disasters, stronger regulations must be put in place.
    • While odds of transcending the power status quo are formidable, to paraphrase Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci, giving up the fight is not an option.
