Thule Air Base in Greenland, the U.S.’s northernmost military installation, has been renamed Pituffik Space Base. “For seventy years, Thule Air Force Base has maintained peace in the Arctic, it’s conducted scientific research, it’s been part of the community,” he said in a video address posted on Twitter. The frigid temperatures on the ground were no match for the warmth of the friendship shared today at the Pituffik Space Base renaming ceremony.

Yes, the odds are stacked against a mayor on a file like Ontario Place, but the odds will be stacked against the mayor on virtually anything they want to do to improve this city.

But it’s worth remembering that Toronto city hall’s record when it comes to fighting isn’t half bad.

Forecasters are warning of swollen creeks and rivers as heavy rain sweeps over southern British Columbia. High streamflow advisories have been posted for all of Vancouver Island, the Sunshine Coast, Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and the Similkameen and Okanagan regions further east, warning that the possible rapid rise in rivers poses a risk to public safety.
