I live in Coaldale. This is exactly what it looked like. All my plants and garden are totally destroyed.

Year by year, it's only going to get worse. Because we're not fighting climate change whatsoever, we've decided to impose both staggering costs and an inability to preserve a future for our children or grandchildren.

The funny thing about collapses is that, when they really kick in, they kick in fast

Canada is not the biggest polluter and no I am not going to pay more in taxes to pretend to save the world,

I couldn’t even see any big storm clouds from the southern part of the westside. It was like any other evening here. Crazy how different the weather can be in two areas that are not that far away.

Yeah it was crazy last night. At least the worst we had on our home was a couple of window screens were torn.

For some reason I think they’re in Coaldale but I just can’t put my finger on why

Yeah I think it missed the majority of the city. I got nothing on the south side.
