Canada will become hottter – much hotter by 2060…It’s the issue Macleans has dedicatged it’s latest issue to. “The hotter it gets, the harder our hearts beat to circulate blood, resulting in more strokes and heart attacks. Eventually the body loses the ability to cool itself through perspiration, and the brain, heart, kidneys and other organs suffer permanent damage.” says Macleans and by the way no matter what we today to reduces emissions, this is happening. Canada will be a much hotter country ..some parts of Canada almost unlivable not because of the cold but because of the heat.

On Twitter this week someone calling themselves the Real Ben, said I’m 34 years old, and I have lived in Canada my whole life. The freedom convoy was the first and only time in my life where I truly felt proud to be Canadian. It was the only time I had ever seen that kind of unity and purpose in the country – and it wasn’t for something dumb and meaningless like a sports game, it was for something that was real, something that actually mattered, something that actually affected peoples day to day lives.  I responded to the Real Ben ..saying I’ve lived in Canada for most of my life. Have never been more embarrassed to be Canadian. If honking horns, disturbing seniors, babies, and pets, fills you with pride, your gauge is running on empty. Good luck!
