TAIPEI—I sat at the desk of my quarantine hotel in a cold sweat. Shoot. I have COVID and now I’m stuck here, I thought. I took a test, but there was no double red line. Earlier in the afternoon, a police officer had called, out of the blue, telling me I needed to move to another hotel in the Taiwanese capital. It was very confusing, because I thought I had thoroughly checked the regulations. After a flurry of faxes and phone calls, we cleared up the issue and I was set to leave quarantine to work on a package of stories about Taiwanese society, national security and global relations. The police officer had been perfectly courteous. So why did I feel nauseous now? On the flight over, why had I jolted awake, my heart racing? I adore Taiwan. In my half-dozen visits, I relished biking in the countryside, gobbling up night market delicacies, hiking the marble canyons of Taroko Gorge. Even when I was interviewing Taiwanese journalists for a 2014 report

OTTAWA—Russia’s war on Ukraine escalated sharply Friday after President Vladimir Putin illegally annexed four eastern Ukraine territories, prompting Kyiv to apply for fast-track membership in NATO and the U.S. and Canada to promise more support. In Moscow, Putin renewed threats to use tactical nuclear weapons and blamed the West for sabotaging Russia-built undersea gas pipelines to Germany — an accusation the White House flatly rejected. In Washington, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly condemned Putin’s latest moves, including “sham” votes this week that were “political theatre” to justify Friday’s “illegitimate” annexations. Joly said Canada supports Ukraine’s bid to join NATO. Blinken was more cautious, saying only there is a “process” to follow for any country seeking to join the western military alliance. Sweden and

Canadians not vaccinated for COVID-19 are more cranky than those who rolled up their sleeves, a new Pollara poll suggests as the federal government lifts pandemic restrictions at borders and ends mandatory masking on planes and trains Saturday. The survey is the second featuring the company’s new “rage index” and found older women furious over CTV’s firing of news anchor Lisa LaFlamme at almost double the rate of women under 50 — at 65 per cent to 35 per cent. “It’s really a case here where there are a lot of women over 50 who really do relate to LaFlamme,” said Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at Pollara. That compares with 43 per cent for men over 50 and 22 per cent for men under 50. Conducted from Sept. 2 to 12 — before it was known Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government would make the ArriveCan app optional and ease pandemic border measures — the poll found unvaccinated Canadians more angry
