Good thread by Robert on the connection between Canadian Fires and long term warming
Dr. Robert Rohde@RARohde
Temperatures during fire season in Canada (May-Sept) have risen a bit more than 2 °C (3.6 °F) in the last 50 years. Climate warming doesn't start fires, but persistent hot and dry conditions can increase flammable fuel load, making any fires that do occur more severe. 1/

Seriously, Brian?
If Prime Minister Carney didn't attend the event, you'd have popped like a balloon.

I mean... It would appear so.

@SteveSaretsky LOL since when did the RE industry start talking prices in real vs nominal? it just adds noise to the trend and over such a short period. Fixed income, equities, commodities and I think housing are rarely expressed in real terms. And housing being so local it is detached from CPI

@uconsent @Harry__Faulkner dude there is no scrambling, they write a check. WTF is the matter with you?

@Harry__Faulkner Ontario CONSITENTLY underbudgets for this and has to scramble to find dollars when it's "worse than expected".

Ontario Government Spending on Emergency Forest Firefighting:
Base Budget Funding vs. (Actual Spend)
2018 (Lib) - Budget $69.8M ($212M)
2019 (PC) - Budget $69.8M ($136M)
2020 (PC) - Budget $100M ($120M)
2021 (PC) - Budget $100M ($239M)
2022 (PC) - Budget $100M ($136M)
2023 (PC) - Budget $135M ($216M)
2024 (PC) - Budget $135M ($177M)
2025 (PC) - Budget $135M ($271M)
2026 (PC) - Budget $150M
It is false to claim that the Ontario PC Government has ever cut funding for Emergency Forest Firefighting. The actual year-end spend directly correlates to the severity of each wildfire season. Base funding has never been cut.
English
@Harry__Faulkner correct - much like a city budgeting for snow removal, a static number is placed in the budget such that the excess is covered through contingency. This is a standard government budgeting approach.

Canada has to be the only country in the world where conservatives are accusing libs of being excessively nationalistic.
“You should stand up for your country less.” - Canadian conservatives, apparently.

it's all in how you ask the question, no contracts ... but ICE sidedoors Flock via local municipalities who do have contracts 404media.co/tag/flock/
@RepRashida's post is incorrect the way it was worded, thanks to Nikita for pointing that out
Nikita Bier@nikitabier
@RepRashida @Grok Does Flock have contracts with ICE and CBP?
English
@glangley @RepRashida Garrett what is your comment on no contracts ... but ICE sidedoors Flock via local municipalities who do have contracts with Flock 404media.co/tag/flock/
English
@RepRashida Congresswoman - Flock does not have contracts with ICE or CBP.
Neighborhoods chose to partner with Flock to stay safe. Today, in America, safety is too correlated with wealth. I think we can both agree that safety should be equal for everyone, not just the affluent.
English
Flock – a private surveillance company worth $8.4 billion – contracts with ICE and CBP to turn out neighborhoods into mass surveillance zones. Their AI-powered license plate readers performed 20 billion scans of cars EVERY MONTH.
That should terrify everyone.

Like most Canadians, I don’t usually agree with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, nor do I care for his abrasive style. But on at least one issue, he’s right: Canada should not become a “drop-off port” for Chinese EVs entering North America. 1/8

Once more; Carney and Trump is theatre
Went out with typical TV watching family tonight.
- Everyone was angry at Trump for complaining about CDN wildfire smoke
- No one was angry at Carney for lying about Gordie Howe bridge deal
No one even brought it up
Nick Sortor@nicksortor
🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says he CONFRONTED Canadian PM Mark Carney today over toxic wildfire smoke at the World Cup, says he may CHARGE them for damages "I told him, 'you've got to STROP these fires from coming in and poisoning our air. Our air has been POISONED.'" "Maybe they should pay us some damages or something, or we should do some tariffs.. I mean, you had businesses closing. In particular, Michigan. If you look at Detroit, the Detroit, Michigan area, they had to close EVERYTHING!"

Got to think the average IQ of MAGA is in the high 90s or maybe it's a cult mentality thing - probably the latter cause no one could be this retarded

Good neighbour's don't cut off electricity. Good neighbour's don't place demeaning ads during the superbowl. Good governments let Ontarians decide what liquor the will purchase.

Meanwhile, Canadian banks do this:
