Climate change contributed to big Canada fires, study says as Trump blames mismanagement
Human-caused climate change doubled the likelihood of the tinderbox weather conditions that sparked Canada's massive summer wildfires and in turn angered U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a study released Thursday.

Most of the carbon released during Canada's record-breaking 2023 wildfire season came from burning soil and peat, rather than trees, according to new research from McMaster University.

Hazardous Canadian wildfire smoke choking millions in US #Canada

Hazardous Canadian wildfire smoke choking millions in US
The Manhattan skyline was obscured by thick haze, and Chicago closed its beaches Thursday as out-of-control Canadian wildfires raged, sending smoke spewing into the United States and exposing millions of people to dangerously unhealthy air.

The only part of this tournament that I think has been a little unfair for Canada as a co-host is having to play outside of Canadian soil.
We should have had the advantage of home field as other hosts have before this shared hosting situation at least for the Group and Round of 32/16 games. A third city could have hosted to make it happen.
But other than that, this has been an amazing tournament and Canada has shown itself not only great hosts, but a worthy team!
Go Canada. You are heroes!

Amongst the many overt protests, there are a few subtle USA protests happening in Canada... and there is one subtle one in particular, or at least it feels that way, at its most important and influential fast food chain.
Tim Hortons.
Have you noticed?
Have you seen the commemorative timbits, the buckets and cups?
There are flags for Team Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, Brazil….
no USA flags. none..
It makes me smile.
The Tim Hortons corporation may not be a fully “Canadian” company (RBI is headquartered in Toronto and Florida, and 1/3 owned by Brazil's 3G), but they are "on the ball" enough to understand the Canadian zeitgeist.
USA? You don't exist.

so I mean, everyone wishes that a host nation of a World Cup wins the World Cup, right?
But barring that I think the situation we have now is perfect.
Canada fought hard, left some blood on the field like a good hockey player, and did better than they've ever done before by a wide margin.
Mexico played one of the best games possibly in the history of football, in without question the best stadium in all of football and can go home proud even as much as it hurt.
And the USA was an absolute disgrace not really because of their players, but because of their President and FIFA.
Really I'd say it worked out extremely well.
Now GO SPAIN. 😆

Hey Canadians. If you’re experiencing troublesome weather this Canada Day, you should sign this petition, and if you have already signed, thank you, please share it!
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) plays a critical role in protecting Canadians through weather forecasting, severe weather warnings, climate monitoring and scientific research;
Canada is experiencing increasingly frequent and severe weather and climate related events, including wildfires, floods, atmospheric rivers, hurricanes, heat waves, winter storms and derechos;
Weather radar research, observation stations, Weatheradio services and frontline meteorological staff are essential public safety tools, particularly for rural, remote and Indigenous communities;
Recent and proposed reductions to ECCC staffing, research capacity, and public weather services risk weakening Canada’s ability to predict, monitor, and respond to dangerous weather events;
Reliable weather forecasting and climate science are vital to emergency preparedness, transportation safety, agriculture, marine operations and public confidence; and
Canadians deserve a strong, modern and fully supported public weather service.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to
1. Reverse cuts to Environment and Climate Change Canada that impact weather forecasting, meteorological research and climate science;
2. Restore and maintain Weatheradio and other accessible public alert systems;
3. Protect and expand weather observation and climate monitoring stations across Canada;
4. Ensure adequate staffing and long-term funding for ECCC programs, scientists, meteorologists and technical experts; and
5. Recognize weather forecasting and climate monitoring as essential public safety infrastructure.

Wow. This is a good result!
"In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court of Canada has created a new tort of intimate partner violence that will allow people to sue for damages when they have been subject to abuse in a relationship.
"Intimate partner violence is a pernicious social ill deserving of the full attention of the law," the summary of the majority judgement says in defining intimate partner violence.
"Best understood, it is not confined to conduct that inflicts physical or psychological injury, but includes all abusive conduct by which one intimate partner coerces and controls the other, thus depriving them of their autonomy.””

I have to wonder if Mrs. Asper is allowing her own Jewish family roots and political bias to show through…
Seems pretty blatant that first the Liberal Minister of Culture and Heritage, and now the longtime Liberal supporting family is getting play in the media (which they used to own in part) demanding “context" to an exhibit about the Nakba.
Izzy Asper was the leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party along with being the patriarch of one of the most powerful media conglomerates in Canada, until it was swallowed up by other billionnaire family media company people.
The *only* impartial voice here with a proven track record for understanding and communicating history fairly is the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
Period.
Hey Billionnaires: your money does NOT mean you get to call the shots when it comes to national museums.
If you want to do that, get back into the local newspapers you abandoned.

“USA has used virtually all of its long range precision missiles”
Iran is attacking with its ballistics and some drones… but you also know that it, likely with considerable support from Russia, is probably also developing many more long range drones like Ukraine has.
And that is where it is all going to turn on its head.
Like @… said in his most recent video. The world of warfare has changed forever. Drones are equivalent to the change from horse calvary to tank.
Yet outside of Ukraine and Russia, other militaries have not yet changed their procurement, let alone their force structure, to be prepared to fight wars using drones.
That doesn’t mean there won’t be be a place for conventional Air Force, Tank regiments, and a Navy, but all will have to be done with some lens of drone warfare baked in.
The longer Trump’s idiotic foray with the Israeli Prime Minister lasts, the more likely it is that we see Iran deploy long range drones in massive numbers.
At that point perhaps NATO countries, and other militaries, will truly realize the change that needs to happen.

Walk into Canadian Tire and you can by a 500W "kit” of 4 125W solar panels from $1199. That works out to $2.40 per Watt.
Or, you can go on Alibaba as I just did... search for 400W solar, chat with a (AI Bot probably?) and be offered 36 620 watt "JinkoSolar" panels for $US 2500 plus $3000 shipping which works out to ‎$8,510.88 CAD or $0.38 per Watt.

Anyone know of this is accurate?
I have been told in the past that one big thing tying Canada to continuing, and expanding, oil production is because of terms in NAFTA (now USMCA) that essentially say every drop of oil must continue until the customer deems otherwise.
If Trump has essentially broken large parts of CUSMA AND has said openly he believes it should end then…
Outside of its own needs, is Canada under any obligation to continue exporting/importing oil and gas products to/from the USA?
Could the end of CUSMA give Canadian climate activists the first real chance to push for reductions in absolute fossil fuel production and a true transition for fossil fuel workers in the industry!?

I am glad that the Qatar player, Assim Madibo, who broke Koné’s leg, sought out Kone immediately in the dressing room to apologize before Kone was taken to hospital.
He seemed genuinely distraught and upset after the tackle.
Some of the people on the Qatar bench need a good slap for their reactions... but on the whole, Madibo reacted in the right way, and that goes a long way to making what happened truly a tragic accident that can happen at any time in professional sports.
I wish Madibo well, and I hope Koné's recovery can be as quick, and complete as possible over the next few months.
And of course, I hope this gives Canada at least some added motivation and drive to get to the knockout stage and really make some noise in this thing!
