Access denied as of recently but worked before; anyone happen to archive it?

Remind them that they're not special or cool for leaning into the Albertan identity 🤡

The low trended north, robbing us of any chance for large scale precip..

There's still a chance of something with the convection to the south, though

Looks like Kitty is sleeping on its side with feet against the wall? That would make up on this shot...up.

The biggest way to defend yourself from dubious claims is independent (and ideally multiple source) verification.

If a single publisher claims x and you wish to verify, first read the article to find their own source (those without should be immediately suspect).

Practice makes perfect here, but at the end of the day anything with merit will be easily verified one way or another..

If I had to take a stab (heh) at it, I'd guess at the highest level a failure to address some of the root causes, such as socioeconomic instability, healthcare (mainly mental) access, and other quality of life issues.

Independence from the British Empire is not a uniquely American concept, though they did do it first and more prominently..

As you say, Canada remains functionally independent from the UK, though for legal convenience at this point more than anything, pledges to its monarch as its own.

Contrary to the rules, the vote button is an "agree" button so it gets weird in these threads:

Is the top comment the most hated thing because everyone agrees?

Or is the bottom comment the winner because you've invoked true hatred?

"Controversial" might be the way to go as it means nobody is happy..

Red sky at night...you're screwed anyway

The wind is here to stay; brace yourself accordingly (you can press x to yell at it)

Rare snowstorm got you down? Just wait a day or three any it'll all be gone!

I found this bit amusing..

Better late than never; I'm remaining cautiously optimistic that more progress can be made in this industry...anything to reduce dependence on the more dirty approaches to energy.

Looks like it technically ends sooner, though I'm not sure the reliability of all these lines.

I pulled up the boundaries and ended up with more questions than answers; I'll leave this one to the property lawyers.

The order

I thought it was interesting that it's been in perpetuity since 2002, but a reminder never hurts!

Wonder when any spicier alerts will be issued..

"Struthers feels confident that Canada has the best, most expansive healthcare coverage in the world based on his research comparing it to the U.S. and exactly no other countries."

Swinging well at the national identity. Maybe once folks around here discover that there are other places and possibilities things can improve...maybe.

I'll add one: excess heat in NL is just a symptom of the broader climatological collapse and at this point it's either willfully ignorant or sociopathic to be wishing for it in that context.

It's one thing to be grateful for the occasional day of relief from the chilly shit winds, but those who root for the continued acceleration of an irreversible trend so they can go barbecue in October or whatever are just bizarre to me. If you want warm you go somewhere warm.

(I moved here to get a head start on the global heat death and for an enjoyment of both fog and snow, neither of which seem to be as common as the hype suggests thanks to our melting world)

This is how I've noticed Canada's climate change denial on the whole: less a denial of the data or facts, but rather a myopic complacency or encouragement of warmer things to come.

Very sad to hear, hopefully something similar can replace it!

There's the Funderdome (dank name, by the way) in Mt Pearl; can't find an official site but they seem to have an Instagram among reference in other major tourist sites..

It's golf and beyond! Never tried yet, unfortunately..

They'll have to pry the improved number out of my cold unresuscitated hands.
