Our scientists continue to monitor environmental and climate conditions to accurately forecast weather.

Meanwhile in America “Holds up gopher in the air while people boo and swear; alas, more winter ahead!!”

All the meteorologists were predicting an "old-fashioned Winter" and they weren't wrong. It arrived in Fall on the 10th of November and it has been relentless ever since. At this point I practically have a degree in layering and I have named my shovel.

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

Fact: Majority of his base will consider that a big compliment. Oh, what the hell, so will Pierre.

Watching the Grammy's is making me feel so completely ancient. 🙃

Agents were pursuing an immigrant when they killed Alex Pretti. Now, he shares his story. "I was there. I saw everything," Jose Huerta Chuma, who remains in hiding, told CBS News.

US, UK, EU, Australia and more to meet to discuss critical minerals alliance About 20 countries including G7 states in talks on rare earths including calls for US to guarantee minimum price Ministers from the US, EU, UK, Japan, Australia and New Zealand will meet in Washington this week to discuss a strategic alliance over critical minerals. The summit is being seen as a step to repair transatlantic ties fractured by a year of conflict with Donald Trump and pave the way for other alliances to help countries de-risk from China, including one centred on steel.

US, UK, EU, Australia and more to meet to discuss critical minerals alliance

Before I stopped listening to a local radio host's AM show (he's a fan boy of PP, Musk, Trump & majority of his guest commentators are the same), I noted that about 8 out of 10 men calling in described themselves as being fans of Pierre & more often than not, Trump as well. It's so disappointing.

Enjoy your trip! Visiting the Sloth Sanctuary in Costa Rica is on my bucket list.

Cold snap to grip Quebec into March, climatologist warns The bitter cold isn’t going away anytime soon. In fact, a climatologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada says even March is shaping up to be colder than normal.

Pitewey and cookies: a Mi’kmaw auntie’s fight to revitalize her language Katrina Clair is teaching Mi’kmaw to ensure kids like her children always have access to the language

In one Elsipogtog First Nation home, the history and significance of language passes through generations as the aromas of orange pekoe pitewey (tea) and molasses cookies fill the air.

Montréal winters have their moments. I have a tried and true layering formula, mastered how to walk like a penguin. and an excellent relationship with my shovel. On those bone-chilling days when it's been -30s+ with windchill, it's all about a good book, fuzzy socks and plenty of hot chocolate.

Shame on CTV and Vassy Kapelos for lending credence to this utterly unhinged and treasonous clown.

Yes, it would be nice though if she could be less obvious about being Pierre's #1 fangirl. She practically glows as she speaks of him. Between her and Kate Harrison, not sure which is the worst or if they are just both equally obnoxious.

Well, for sure Rosie Barton and Kate Harrison think so.

Yup, small numbers represented by the privileged who paid to attend - can't be described as an open vote of confidence can it. It's laughable they're calling it a landslide victory especially when we consider this is a guy who lost a riding he held for 20 years & who continues to tank in the polls.

They are desperately grasping at straws. No amount of "lipstick" or repackaging will change him. He's shown us via his voting record, track record & power hungry, ugly personality who he is for too long. No sane Canadian with half an ounce of intelligence would change their mind about him #CanPoli

I am kind of loving how Jesse Ventura keeps talking over Rosie Barton. "Wait a minute!" She's getting a taste of her own medicine.

Do Rosie & her talking heads today actually believe that because Pierre: (a) attended & made lame jokes at the Press Gallery in November; & (b) got misty-eyed speaking about his family during his leadership review speech it will make him more endearing & as a result more Canadians will vote for him?

The fact Poilievre gave a shout out to the Freedom Convoy crowd during his speech tells us all we need to know about who supported him in that room. It was a great result last night...for PM Carney and Canada. His speech was a DUD delivered by a DUD to DUDS. #cdnpoli

Canada 🇨🇦 is a sovereign and free nation. Has been since 1867. We are dependent on no one. So this statement is horseshit, like everything else that comes out of his mouth. Using tariffs and threats will not change that! #CanadaStrong

A deeply touching and beautiful tribute for two dearly loved Canadian icons.

I'm crying. We're all crying.
