Please explain to your readers how you can possibly print articles claiming to report how many COVID infections take place in a given time frame WHEN MOST OF US WHO GET THE VIRUS AND DISCOVER THIS THROUGH SELF-ADMINISTERED 'RAPID TESTS,' NEVER REPORT IT TO ANY CENTRAL STATISTIC-GATHERING AGENCY.
Thank you.

Just in case there was some uncertainty about whether profit-driven fossil fuels are more important than human health and survival, this decision about Trans Mountain pipeline workers clarifies everything.

This article is missing an important part of the story. Why is the DFO changing the rules? I'm a big fan of prawns any time any place. But I like my news to cover who, what, where, when, and WHY.

Evacuation plan in the works for Queensborough due to flood 'risk'

This kind of diversionary "planning" is horrifyingly ridiculous. We know about climate disruption and its highly probable impact on rising sea levels and storm-caused flooding. So, we keep on building pipelines and burning fossil fuels? We keep building lots of new housing in Queensborough? And we "study" evacuation route chokepoints that a child could point out on a map? How about planning a faster transition off fossil fuels, because recent science shows that our 2030 and 2050 GHG emission reduction targets are also ridiculous.-- even if any of the highest emitters among the 2015 Paris Accord signatories were on schedule to meet such targets, which they are not!

It's not often that I get a chance to comfort and educate at the same time. The people fearing shadows being cast toward the south can relax. We live high in the northern hemisphere. There are no shadows cast toward the south by the sun..
