I am a climate scientist and this is correct.
As the planet warms, storms like the one today are getting stronger… and as the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the mid latitudes, it increases the risk of the “freezer door” swinging open.

This Eastern section of the subway is above ground and obviously snowed under right now.

One simple question I want every organization, especially governments, to answer.
Why are you so quick to rely solely on e-mail for billing and critical communications?
Because nearly every citizen is using a free e-mail service provided by a foreign corporation. Think about that.

Maybe we could even count it as defense spending. Win, win.

Do you ever see a twofer sale and think "Great. I'll get one of each flavour" only find at the checkout that to get the deal you have to get two of the SAME flavour?
Well that didn't happen at Loblaws today.
Two different flavors.. at the deal price.

Is this a real thing I hear UK women saying they become "invisible" after age 50? Is it just UK? Is it anywhere else?
Because I've mostly hung around Canada.. and I've ALWAYS been invisible here.

I'm quite OK with remembering things differently than my parents or my children do. But my sister is only 2 years younger and seems to have blocked out a LOT of shit. Not just when we were children.

This goes in the pile of stuff for my ex to pick up.
It now has 2 ex's and one dead person in it. Not bad for 35 years on.
As I recall, my husband's job at the wedding was to hold the cigarettes for all the bridesmaids..and the bride.

PSA: If you have recently made a purchase from Canada Computers with a credit card, you will probably want to have that card cancelled.

Canada Computers online card skimmer
If you have made a purchase recently on Canada Computers' online store, you should immediately freeze or cancel the card you used.
I found a card skimmer on Canada Computers' online checkout page. This malware steals any information you enter on the page and sends it to the attacker's website.
The malware is a Magecart-style script that listens for keystrokes on input fields, validates them, and steals them. It's obfuscated and loads from CodePen through a disguised Google Analytics script (something a real payment processor would never do). The malware captures credit card number, CVV, expiration date, first name, last name, billing address, billing city, billing province, billing postal code, phone number and email address.
I found this on January 18th when buying something on the website with DevTools open. I saw a suspicious WebSocket connection to rozenfeld[.]xyz. This domain isn't related to Canada Computers or any payment processor in any way. It looks similar to rozenfeld[.]ca, which I believe is a legitimate e-commerce related company. This could be an attempt from the attackers to seem legitimate.
Keep in mind I'm just a person who does web development as a hobby, I'm not a cybersecurity expert. I have opened two support tickets with them via email to try and tell them about this privately and they have closed both with no response. I'm assuming this is because they thought it was a scam or prank. I'm posting this publicly because they're closing my support requests and because the skimmer is still on the website, stealing data.
I have frozen my card that was stolen and have reported this to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

You cannot separate this from the geopolitical context. Canada has access to terrors that cannot be measured in raw military strength.

Alright. Fine. Let's put together our list of things we think Carney should do and should stop doing. I'll compile it from the comments in a fresh thread, then we can all post it when we inevitably get asked what we think he should and shouldn't do.
