Calling the Trudeau video his “mean girls moment” is profoundly stupid. This was a window into the reality the US finds itself in with a president who has no credibility on the world stage. The story here is not Trudeau.

As the BC Coroner’s Service continues to update the tally from the heat dome - now at 808 for 1 week - compared to 198 during the same period for the previous 5yrs - it’s coming into sharper focus that this was a public health failure likely without precedent in the province.
