Your periodic reminder that you should pay no attention to the humidity reading; it's all about the dewpoint.

THIS. This is exactly it.
Let me put this another way:
Top reasons why Cdn-US tourism is down as seen by Canadians:
1. Forced annexation threats
2. Fear of arbitrary ICE arrest
3. General dismay @ new US
4. Tariffs, levied despite USCMA deal
Top reasons as seen by US media/govt:
1. Tariffs generally
2. 51 State 'jokes'

If you are upset or frustrated by the ballot we've got going on, I would recommend heading down to the Elections Canada Office and vote by special ballot. I voted today, & it was simple!

Justice Carroccia:
Did you help the justice system today?
Laws are made by politicians so it is important to be aware of the political climate.
To do less is to abdicate your responsibility.
In short your words are disappointing.

the fact that BC Housing is NOT measuring the levels of respiratory viruses and CO2 in the air while they're measuring the amount of fentanyl in the air tells us that this is the production of evidence for a decision that's already been made

Smith trying to deflect blame to the Feds over Jasper, is exactly the point Jasper made: you inserted yourself where you didn't belong, complicated jurisdictional lines, causing needless delays. Her need to undermine Ottawa has no limits, everything is us vs them and Albertans suffer. #cdnpoli

Wearing a mask while exercising indoors improves lung function

Happy ‘No Carbon Tax Rebate’ Day to all those who celebrate.
Another brilliant move brought to low income people by the Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives.
And no grocery prices did not go down.
Almost like Axe the Tax was a lie.
