This is incredible video and truly shows a) the terrifying power of the ocean and b) how quickly a storm surge can come up. I am extremely saddened to see the structures damaged this way. #NLwx #fiona – at St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

Here's a look at some of the unofficial top winds from #Fiona across Atlantic Canada. Top gust of 179 km/h at Arisaig, Antigonish County, NS! Widespread gusts of 130-150+ km/h for coastal areas of eastern Nova Scotia, PEI and southwest Nfld. #nsstorm #nlwx #nbstorm #pestorm

Affordable childcare becoming a reality?! Almost seems too good to be true!
Here's the story: vancouversun.com/news/local-… Very few questions at the announcement because the news is so positive, there's not much to be critical about. I have two kids in daycare and will save about $1,000 a month.
Last minute daycare closures at 39 weeks pregnant and husband without the day off are just super. If we're going to have a federal holiday, please just give everyone the day off to eliminate this massive headache. #bcpoli #childcare
Here is a look at what will be closed — and some of the services that will be open — as B.C. honours a national day of mourning to mark the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II on Monday, Sept. 19. buff.ly/3U9wesV

Baffled to learn that @WhistlerBlckcmb is cramming unrelated parties onto gondolas and not requiring masks in lift lineups during explosive growth of the omicron variant. Where are the public health measures the rest of the province is being asked to follow?
