Scientists warn future temperatures will test humans’ ability to survive

Unbearably hot temperatures are already testing the limits of human survival, and will continue to rise, challenging our bodies’ ability to cope and making parts of the world increasingly uninhabitable.

Scientists say urgent steps are needed for humans to adapt to extreme heat, including rethinking the way we live, work and blast the AC.

“Extreme heat is going to get more problematic going forward, period,” said Professor Blair Feltmate, head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation at the University of Waterloo in Ontario.

Calls grow for Indigenous-led inquiry into systemic racism

Two prominent Indigenous voices say they support calls for an Indigenous-led inquiry into systemic racism in New Brunswick, but action is what’s really needed.

Pam Palmater, the chair in Indigenous governance in the department of politics and public administration at Toronto Metropolitan University, and David Perley, a Wolastoqi scholar, spoke at a fundraiser for Dialogue NB, a Moncton–based non-profit, about systemic racism in the province.

Cut ’em off. They can go back to the old ways and not encounter a single white person. When they say, “But in this modern world…”, you say, “The modern world we offered you, and you accepted?”

English Montreal School Board to launch legal challenge against Quebec French-language law

Another group has announced it will launch a legal challenge against Quebec’s controversial language reform law.

Bill 96 was passed in the provincial legislature earlier this week.

The English Montreal School Board (EMSB) announced late Thursday evening it has hired a legal firm to help it contest the validity of Bill 96, An Act Respecting French, the official and common language of Quebec.

This feels like something Indonesia would do, not a modern parliamentary democracy. Whoops sorry, I meant parliamentary dictatorship.

Trudeau Government Runs $95.6 BILLION Deficit In 2021-2022 Fiscal Year

The federal budget deficit will come in at $95.6 billion for the 2021 – 2022 fiscal year.

It’s down from a whopping $314.0 billion last year, but only because the government has reduced the payments they gave out amid lockdowns.

$95.6 billion is still far ahead of historical norms.

And of course, that $314.0 billion from the previous year is added onto our national debt.

Just like with the Green Party, the New Blue Party may not be polling above 10 percent province-wide, but that support is heavily concentrated in specific regions, and ridings within those regions, which make them electorally viable on the local level.

Elite High School Ended Merit-Based Admissions. It Was A Complete Disaster

Students at San Francisco’s Lowell High School received significantly more failing grades at the end of the fall 2021 semester following the school board’s decision to end merit-based admissions.

Uvalde Police Officers Receiving Death Threats After Texas School Shooting

Multiple law enforcement sources from separate agencies tell Breitbart Texas that Uvalde-area police officers are receiving death threats following the Robb Elementary School shooting that left 21 people dead.

I can’t imagine why…

Official: Girl told 911 ‘send the police now’ as cops waited

UVALDE, Texas (AP) — Students trapped inside a classroom with a gunman repeatedly called 911 during this week’s attack on a Texas elementary school, including one who pleaded, “Please send the police now,” as officers waited in the hallway for more than 45 minutes, authorities said Friday.

The commander at the scene in Uvalde — the school district’s police chief — believed that 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos was barricaded inside adjoining classrooms at Robb Elementary School and that children were no longer at risk, Steven McCraw, the head of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said at a contentious news conference.

Germany’s anti-war intellectuals are resurfacing

Can a country truly change overnight? Having cultivated a national culture that is inherently suspicious of intervening in foreign conflicts after 1945, the war in Ukraine seemed to have caused a fundamental shift in the way Berlin sees its position in the international order. Within days of the Russian invasion chancellor Scholz declared to ramp up defence spending above 2% of GDP and dedicating an additional 100bn euros to the German armed forces.

But in recent weeks, some of Germany’s leading intellectuals are coming out of the woodwork to voice their unease about their country’s involvement in Ukraine.
