⚠️🚨 FORGET EVERY WILDFIRE YOU’VE EVER SEEN.
✈️This looks like a massive volcano eruption, but it is actually the sky over Canada right now. Pilot Scott Hatton captured this apocalyptic view from his cockpit over Thunder Bay, Ontario.
These aren't just smoke clouds—the fires have literally created their own terrifying weather systems. This is no longer a regional crisis; it is a continental disaster. Let’s break down the sheer scale of this anomaly...

I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

Selena Gomez says meeting an 8-year-old boy with lupus made her understand why she went through her own illness
"One story that will forever be in my mind to the day I die was this young boy. He was 8 years old and he was in the hospital. He had lupus and he was waiting to get diagnosed and also for a transplant. I had experienced both"
"When I walked into the room, he kept looking down and he was very nervous. So I kept asking the mother, 'Is it okay that I'm here? Should I maybe just step out?' And they insisted that he'd like me to stay"
"So I just kind of talked about the surroundings and tried to make him feel comfortable and didn't get in his space"
"And all of a sudden, as I'm rambling on about the drawings on the wall, he just looks down and says, 'Is it true that you have lupus too?'"
"And I looked at him and I said, 'Yes.' And it was the first time that he looked up and he finally acknowledged me"
"I remember thinking, 'That's really powerful.' That's something I register in my mind as that's why I went through it. So I don't look back and feel, 'How miserable, and I can't believe I had to go through that'"
"I look back and say, 'All right, now how can I be there for someone else? What's going to happen to someone who feels the same way?'"
A friendly reminder that many of the politicians expressing their disgust today at the recent Toronto shootings voted for and passed Bill C-5, which removed mandatory prison sentencing for multiple offences involving firearms, such as:
-Using a firearm or imitation firearm in the commission of an offence.
-Possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm with ammunition.
-Weapons trafficking and importing/exporting firearms.
-Discharging a firearm with intent or while being reckless, as well as robbery and extortion with a firearm.
They also backed Bill C-75, which lowered the bar for bail, making it easier for violent criminals and gang members to be released back onto our streets.
