A pair of powerful Pacific storms are expected to bring multiple days of heavy snow for California’s mountains, starting on Sunday and lasting into the week. Forecasters said as much as eight feet of accumulated snow was possible through Wednesday.

Smith can half-heartedly pretend she isn't at least aligned with the separatists, but her actions (repeatedly giving the separatists oxygen and constantly moving the goal posts to create favourable conditions for them) say otherwise.

Because there is going to be a referendum. Like, sane Albertans understand that legally this isn't possible, but the UCP breaks, changes, ignores, rewrites legislation and law all the time here now. We know the legality doesn't matter to them. This referendum will happen.

Once upon a time ... two inept fiends devised a scheme to undermine a nation, and scuttle efforts for that nation to build a prosperous economy ... and protect its sovereignty.
Their plan failed.

The way we farm can either accelerate climate change or help solve it. Industrial agriculture degrades soil and emits carbon. But smart agriculture? It regenerates land, stores carbon, and secures food supplies. Here’s how these three practices lead the way. 👇
