Many livestock producers are carefully monitoring water sources and will be hoping for rain to sustain pastures and forage crops. The fire forecast predicts worsening conditions for the month of June in Manitoba while conditions stay as an extreme risk for much of Saskatchewan and Alberta. (weather.gc.ca)This year, unusually hot temperatures have contributed to the increase in wildfires. As temperatures rise, potential fuel sources like leaves, grass, twigs, and downed logs get drier as the moisture evaporates. Hotter temperatures mean longer fire seasons, drier fuel, hotter fires, and more smoke which therefore means more greenhouse gasses.

By Keith Tomasek, May 28, 2023In 2005 I had the good fortune to see the Shaw Festival’s production of “Gypsy,” directed by Jackie Maxwell and starring Nora McLellan. It was a wonderful production and I interviewed McLellan, who is at the Blythe Festival this season, on my podcast below. So I was a bit trepidatious when the current production of “Gypsy” at the Shaw Festival opened. Shaw may not have a Broadway-ready dance corps but it has given this “Gypsy” a fifteen piece orchestra, more musicians than grace some Broadway musicals. There are many virtues in “Gypsy” at the Shaw Festival, but Kate Hennig’s performance towers above them all.

A U.S. policy think tank is advocating a transformative approach to climate finance for vulnerable countries: cancel national debts and redirect the repayment funds to climate adaptation and resilience projects. It would not only alleviate debt distress, but also abate the “monumental” gap in adaptation funding, the Brookings researchers say. So far, the lion’s share of climate finance has been granted with the expectation that it will generate revenue, so 90% of it goes to activities that mitigate emissions, like renewable power projects. “Suffice it to say, as long as profit-motive drives the majority of climate finance flows, adaptation finance will lag behind,” the researchers warn. The geopolitical goal would be encourage developing countries to align themselves with the U.S. rather than relying on China, the writers suggest.

Johnston is not the first Trudeau “friend” who has sacrificed or been sacrificed to preserve the prime minister’s reputation and vision of the future. Canada has lost many good men and women to Trudeau and his “vision.” It is time for Canadians to look realistically at ridding our country of his leadership. But under single-payer health care as in Canada, the customer is captive, the price is not known, and there is no competition.

FREDERICTON - New Brunswick’s premier called for calm on Saturday as the province undertakes a contentious review of a policy on sexual orientation in schools. We must treat each other with respect while we have these discussions.”At issue is a review of Policy 713, which the province’s Education Department introduced in 2020. It lays out standards for schools to ensure safe, welcoming and inclusive environments for LGBTQ students. The province is not removing the policy, but instead reviewing three sections “causing confusion and misunderstanding,” Higgs said. The review of the province’s school sexual orientation policy and ensuing debate echoes similar processes playing out in other areas related to the rights of gay, lesbian and transgender students.

(AP) — Mississippi could have a Democratic primary for governor in August because a judge ruled Friday that the party improperly excluded a candidate from the ballot. Hickingbottom, who has described himself as a political operative, ran for governor as a Constitution Party candidate in 2019. The executive committee also excluded Gregory Wash from running for governor this year, after he ran a low-budget campaign for governor in the Democratic primary four years ago. The party’s decisions left Brandon Presley, a four-term public service commissioner, as the only Democratic candidate for governor. Attracting support from Black voters is an important part of winning a Democratic primary.
