As we head into this FIFA Club World Cup weekend in the USA, meteorologists are warning of dangerous heat and humidity up and down the east coast. Temperatures will rise through Sunday and could last all week, with a heat index of 43ΒΊC by Monday.

Instead of investing more in education during a crisis for which itβs a ready solution, the BCNDP are allowing the kind of cuts the Liberals only dreamt of. Disgusted as an NDPer.
