Landmines will not protect Europe against Russia: Expert

An expert who has thrown bombs on some of the world’s most dangerous places says that European governments holding their security voltage on landmines turn to a ineffective tool that will only spread misery and hunger.

“It is an outdated technology that can be made useless fairly quickly,” said Gary Toomins, a senior explosive removal technician with the charity and inclusion.

Anti-country minvocates urge to set up the efforts at Canada to convince European countries to stay in the 1997 Ottawa treaty that Canada mediated to end the use of anti-person land mines around the world.

The Convention led most countries of the world to prohibit the use of such weapons and mobilized financing in order to remove non -depleted landmines from former war zones in places such as Vietnam.

This spring, six countries announced to Russia plans to leave the Ottawa treaty. Ukraine, Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have argued that the threat of Russia justifies the possible use of landmines to thwart or slow soil raids.

Alberta to drive some prisons with solar energy

The government of Alberta wants to process power with solar energy.

The province says that it is planning to build solar installations at five of its 10 correction facilities, with early savings on energy costs estimated at $ 1 million a year.

“The solar installations are expected to compensate about 80 percent of the energy on each site,” said Michael Kwas, press secretary of Minister of Infrastructure Martin Long, in an E -mail.

A purchasing document published by the province, which reflects future projects with approved construction financing, says that the government’s budget for the solar proposal is somewhere between $ 10 million to $ 50 million.

Just like the savings, the budget figure is also for the time being, said Kwas. A more exact estimate would be determined later as the planning progresses.

Although the ministry did not say which prisons were chosen, Kwas said that there are two in the Edmonton area and there are three near Calgary.
