Extreme and prolonged hot and dry conditions in Canada are setting records and making it effortless for wildfires to rage.

Canada was at the epicenter of the most significant heat anomaly on the planet in May.

@AirCanada @BBishopAirport @Aspirelounge If you are also like me, you will find @BBishopAirport @yulaeroport and Air Canada lose luggage unaccountably, and leave customers in the lurch with no info for days - phone lines with 1h.40 wait times, even when urgently needed medication is inside lost items!

[... @iratecentrist]

@LNJATL @AirCanada @yulaeroport @aeroport_tls @CPHAirports I’m in the same boat - @aircanada please get your lost luggage situation under control - no one can communicate what’s going on with customers, phone lines have queues of 1h 40 mins +!

Some new observations from us: few feel Canada is broken. While not everyone likes the label woke, but not many hate it either. Most interpret wokism as a positive. My column here: https://t.co/mEArrmsBpa #sparkadvocacy via @spark_advocacy

I grew up here in #Gstaad and learned skiing on this slope in the 70s. Back then scientists had evidence that fossil fuel causes warming. This is Jan 1, 2023.

Climate science is my profession, but this is where it gets personal.
When do we understand that we need to change?

NEW: conservatives have a Millennials problem.

In both UK & US, it’s not just that Millennials aren’t voting conservative because they’re young.

Every previous generation grew more conservative with age, but Millennials are not playing ball.

@hydro_customer And two days later we are I’m afraid beginning to lose patience! We will have to leave our house if power is still not restored tomorrow. Please can you answer my DM because there is not sufficient info on your outage map - estimated repair time just keeps shifting each day 😳

I've done a lot of polling but I've never seen the British as fed up, exasperated & disillusioned as they are today. Much of the country say "nothing is working", expect the future to be even worse & simply don't believe anybody in our current political class has the answers

Sunak asks a homeless man in a homeless shelter whether he "works in business", then proceeds to talk about the financial services industry. Utterly bizarre

we criticize hollywood for lazy tropes but our two main antagonists right now is a former kgb agent with a penchant for poisoning and an emerald mine heir who wants to live on mars. if these were bond villains they’d be dismissed as caricature
