In Canada, the public broadcaster, calls the fires, "the new normal" and includes a link for where to buy Canadian oil,

Imagine how embarrassing it is to work for the CBC, writing insightful, actionable reports on hundreds of thousands of acres burning, and your editor slaps a "new normal" into the headline.

CBC Reporter, "ALL the climate alarms are ringing"

Editor "No, it's the New Normal"

Even now, Carney, who has been seen working on climate issues, knows Canada is losing forest at a rate of a million hectares a month, which is earth's LARGEST source of CO2, knows hydro electric dams are falling, knows the Trump attack will cost jobs, has announced NOTHING on building the new energy, but has announced OIL support.

Shame. Eh?

The gap between the haves and have-nots is growing. Instead of using its taxing and spending powers to reverse this trend, the federal government is planning to indiscriminately cut government programs, showing little regard for public servants and average Canadians. Inequality will worsen as a result, making Canada look more like the neighbour we have a beef with, not less. #Canada #inequality #poverty #MiddleClass #economics #austerity #LPC

"Air quality in Toronto among worst in the world Monday, as Environment Canada issues heat warning" CBC

Why? Smoke from wildfires, heat from carbon fuelled climate change, and humidity from carbon fuelled climate change. Heated atmosphere holds much more water.

Carney has announced no programs on climate. Building no wind, building no solar. No massive program to train THOUSANDS of new fire fighters.

Single largest source of CO2

Ontario Premier Ford didn't buy Water-bomber aircraft as he said, he lied.
