I really like this rather positive outlook.

Mergler and other researchers studied the mothers’ umbilical cords, which had traces of their grandmothers’ mercury exposure.

[...] 80 Grassy Narrows mothers and their 162 children aged between five and 17 and found significant links between grandparents’ exposure to mercury, the mothers’ psychological distress and the grandchildren’s risk for attempted suicide.

Intergenerational trauma and now intergenerational poisoning.

I'm sad Victoria didn't make it in there, but I guess their infrastructure is more mature. And they're lucky to have the E&N right of way there already.

I bet Russia will claim this is a declaration of war.

Again.

If I had a pool, I would probably hate if I had to set the temperature in black and white; so I would look for a pool that specifically uses Colour.

You are blaming the individual for the lack of social supports in the society you speak of.

Certainly one can go to the food bank, or a Church as you said; however, they are not always operating and often provide only one meal. Then one has to make their way to another location to get something else when they're hungry again, which could be a long way, and if that person is homeless that will take a lot of time away from trying to get off the street just so they don't starve.

The article says much the same thing:

“At CFIB [Canadian Federation of Independent Business], we’re calling on all levels of government to work together and take more accountability to address all of these underlying societal issues that contribute to these problems: Housing, mental health and addiction, the cost of living."

“These are things we think we can work together on better.”

Kim said that she couldn’t move in because of “hazardous” materials such as asbestos, lead and ozone­-depleting substances that could cause “serious health issues.”

But still let others pay you to live there? Also, afaik, you can't demolish a house with asbestos in it until it's removed by specialists.

Nova Scotia was burning a bit more then a month ago. I think it will get worse before it gets better.

Officers deployed a conducted energy weapon

What a funny way to say taser. My first thought was they had laser pistols or something.

"Damn, we must really be living in the future."

That's a lot better then being barred by a corporate dairy farm.

Measuring tape. It does wonders, and it takes seconds.

What is this measuring tape they speak of? Some sort of arcane artefact?
