I live in central Alberta & have for over 20 yrs. This spring winter & spring was the driest I have seen. We have wildfires & evacuations in May, which I have never seen. June was fairly rainy, but not enough to prevent fires & here we are again. Our govt has cut funding for the wild fire response.

"Corporate broadcast TV networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — aired a combined 181 minutes across 109 segments about Hurricane Beryl, with 6 mentioning climate change. Cable news— CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC— aired a combined 520 minutes across 234 segments, with 9 of them mentioning climate change."
Only 4% of TV news in the United States correctly connected Hurricane Beryl to climate change. The 2024 hurricane season is here, and we’ve already had our first record-breaking hurricane in Beryl, which caused billions in damage and deaths in Texas, Grenada, Venezuela and nearby areas…

AB Acute Care Outbreaks: so depressing. week after week I report, week after week no policy change. ongoing outbreaks. Ongoing preventable illness and deaths of vulnerable patients. And HCWs. Taking a couple of days off to dino hunt. See you on the flipside.
