It seems #BC is about to be subjected to more vaccine requirements, and @DrBonnieHenry, seemingly meeting no opposition, wants to expand the power of her office.

@s_guilbeault are you paying attention to the west coast?
Right now children are *again* going to school breathing smoke. The 107 & 153 AQI here are samples from the #Vancouver region this morning
A few weeks ago, we hit the purple zone (the image says it all!)

You could be doing *much* more to talk about the running impacts of the #ClimateCrisis. It is not 'just' the one off disasters as terrible as those are

I've read the stories describing the apology tour of Pope Francis. On Monday after his first visit near Edmonton I decided to comment after the saga had unfolded. It was an emotional week for so many!

We heard apologies, pleading forgiveness, more apologies, recognition of "cultural destruction" and finally on the flight home #PopeFrancis said "yes, it was a genocide, yes, yes, clearly. You can say that I said it was a genocide."

The genocide was justified by the #DoctrineOfDiscovery & while #PopeFrancis, #CatholicChurch, & Crown gov'ts are reluctant to rescind it, the actions I witnessed against the #Wetsuweten in their own territory are empowered by the Doctrine.

This feels like it should be bigger news. More There have only been 4 periods in the history of the pandemic where more in #BritishColumbia have (officially) died WITH (yay, thanks BC for obscuring data) COVID than occurred in the first week of May (May 1-7).

This is all because BC has intentionally distorted the data. As of April 2, all deaths where a positive test occurred within 30 days are being counted. Die of a car crash + covid test positive? Covid death!

Of course, CDCBC *COULD* easily go back &retroactively apply this definition to the start of the pandemic (this would help us understand what the increasing #'s mean in context), but of course that would severely increase the official count of COVID-19 deaths. Bad politics?

#CCGLive: CCGS Cape Calvert and CCGS Cape Naden have evacuated 16 people from the container ship M/V #ZimKingston near Victoria, #BritishColumbia after a fire broke out in ten containers earlier today.
The fire remains a dynamic event and an Incident Command Post has been set up to manage the situation. Responders are mobilizing to both fight the fire and recover the containers that broke away from the ship on Friday.
An Emergency Zone has been set up for 1NM around the ship while fire fighting operations are underway. Currently there is no safety risk to people on shore, however the situation will continue to be monitored.

Welche Einflussfaktoren von #Wetter und #Klima verursachen die #Jahrtausendhitze in #Kanada? Ein Thread basierend auf einem Artikel der Washington Post (washingtonpost.com/weather/2021/0…).
Eine Grundzutat ist ein außergewöhnlich starkes Hochdruckgebiet. Hier kann die Sonne am wolkenlosen Himmel ungehindert einscheinen und die typischerweise absinkende Luft erhitzt sich wie in einer Fahrradpumpe, weil der Luftdruck Richtung Erdboden zunimmt. ☀️
Das Hochdruckgebiet wurde möglicherweise durch einen tropischen Sturm im Pazifik verstärkt. Diese drehen sich auf der Nordhalbkugel gegen den Uhrzeigersinn und transportieren daher östlich von sich wie ein Schaufelrad warme Luft nach Norden. 🌀
Nachdem vorige Tage der Temperaturrekord in #Seattle (#USA) gebrochen wurde, verzeichnet nun auch Kanada einen neuen Hitzerekord von 47,5 Grad Celsius.
Gemessen wurde dies in #Lytton (kleines Dorf in #BritishColumbia). /TN #Klimawandel #Klimakatastrophe

I'm simplifying these threads & will now show sliding window views of last 3 months of cumulative data for whole epidemic (except for province-specific summaries at end).
Rate of change graphs are provided for preceding 28 days to give a better sense of most recent dynamics.

Please note that though it's tempting to speculate about recent trends for long-term/personal care & retirement homes, reporting for this sector is VERY delayed & is almost always incomplete for preceding 3-4 weeks. The period of uncertainty is now highlighted in gray in graphs.
