‘Our lobsters are gold plated now’: Atlantic Canada lobster exports, prices soar
Dumping day - Lobster fishing season opens in southwestern Nova Scotia Sales of live and processed lobster rebounded following the first wave of COVID-19.Prices started to go up with demand and have continued climbing since.Canadian lobster exports reached a staggering $3.26 billion last year, beating the previous record of $2.59 billion, set in 2019, by more than 25 per cent.With many consumers saving money during the pandemic and limited travel or restaurant dining, the crustacean long considered a luxury item for special occasions became a top seller in the U.S.“Americans bought lobster during the pandemic like they never did before and that drove up demand and price,” says Geoff Irvine, executive director of the Lobster Council of Canada.While processed lobster — meat and tails — was in high demand in the U.S., sales of live lobster increased in Asia.“There is unlimited demand in Asia for Canadian lobster,” Sproul says. “It’s a top quality product and we have a good trade relationship.”Strong demand, coupled with smaller catches in winter months, sent shore prices spiralling as high as $19.50 a pound.“The highest wharf price that I’ve ever heard of for lobster in my life was a few weeks ago at $19.50 a pound,” Sproul says.Prices have since dropped to around $14.50 this week and could ease further during the spring lobster fishery.The opening of several lobster fishing areas across Atlantic Canada in the coming weeks is expected to boost supply.Thousands of extra fishing boats will hit the water setting traps.

Before Will Smith, who else was banned from the Oscars?
decision was announced last week after Smith pre-emptively resigned from the academy during the run-up to the meeting, calling his actions "shocking, painful, and inexcusable.""I accept and respect the Academy’s decision," Smith said in the aftermath.Meanwhile, talk of whether Smith should have to return the Best Actor Oscar he won for "King Richard" is ongoing, but only one Oscar has ever been revoked in the award’s 94-year history. In 1969, the Oscar for the documentary "Young Americans" was rescinded because it was deemed to be ineligible for that year. Smith will likely be keeping the Oscar he won, and will remain eligible to be nominated for and win more of them in the 10-year period he’s banned from the show, though he wouldn’t be able to show up to accept the award — virtually or in person.Will Smith accepts the award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for "King Richard" during the show at the 94th Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood on Sunday, March 27, 2022.

Brave Queen, 95, admits 'frightening' Covid battle left her 'very tired and exhausted'
Queen has revealed that her own private battle with Covid in February this year left her "very tired and exhausted" as she hit out at the "horrible pandemic".The monarch, who turns 96 later this month, tested positive for coronavirus earlier this year and, despite having what Buckingham Palace said were “mild cold-like symptoms”, continued with as many remote public duties as she could.At the time of diagnosis, royal insiders were supposedly "terrified" and even "holding their breath". She has since beaten the virus.And for the first time, on a virtual visit to the Royal London Hospital on Wednesday (April 6), Her Majesty shed some more light on what her experience had been like – even agreeing with another patient that having Covid was "very frightening".The remote Royal visit was held to mark the official opening of the hospital's Queen Elizabeth Unit.During a video call with workers and medical staff, the Queen listened to their stories of coping with the huge influx of Covid patients, and was told by one senior nurse “we held their hands, we wiped their tears and we provided comfort”.Around 800 people from across north-east London were treated at the 155-bed Queen Elizabeth Unit, built in five weeks to meet the demand instead of the normal time period of five months, and the Queen hailed the "Dunkirk spirit" on show during that time.Speaking to former Covid patient Asef Hussain, and his wife Shamina, the Queen said about the virus: “I’m glad that you’re getting better…It does leave one very tired and exhausted, doesn’t it? This horrible pandemic.
