SCOOP🍨: Albertans were surprised to learn cougars can now be hunted in some provincial parks — using hounds. But that plan faced a hurdle: off-leash dogs are not allowed in parks. So the government amended provincial park regulations to make an exception.

I'm so grumpy today I've decided to insult every bird I saw this morning in a thread

There are three important components to emergency preparedness:
• Know the risks: New Brunswickers should evaluate the kind of emergency that can affect their family and their community.
• Make a plan: Every household needs an emergency plan. It will help families to know what to do in case of an emergency and it takes less than 30 minutes to organize. Family members should take the time to discuss how and where to meet, how to contact each another and what to do in different situations. Write it down and keep it in a safe place.
• Get an emergency kit: New Brunswickers should have all the necessities for themselves and their families: water, food, flashlights, radio, batteries, first aid kit, prescription medications, infant formula, cash (ATM machines might not be operational in times of crisis).

But what blew me away was the level of personal anguish among the experts who have dedicated their lives to climate research. Many used words like hopeless, broken, infuriated, scared, overwhelmed.
