More than 10,000 evacuees are being supported by the Red Cross and 860 are being supported by the SPSA (Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency).

About 15,000 have fled Saskatchewan wildfires and more coming: Premier Moe

Moe said he has spoken with his provincial counterparts, as well as Prime Minister Mark Carney, and was told that resources would be made available to battle the fires that continue to affect more than 30 communities.

Trade watchers have always suspected Canada was holding on to the DST mainly for negotiating purposes. It was something generally positive for Canada that could nonetheless plausibly be negotiated away for some meaningful purpose, perhaps in the planned six-year review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) that replaced NAFTA under the first Trump presidency. Prime Minister Carney admitted this was the plan in a press scrum today (June 30).

I'm really hoping they played this card right. It doesn't feel like they did, but I hope Carney is playing on a level we don't get.

About to kick start his career as a politician though.

It's really not that great, in my opinion. Stilted acting, direction and writing. None of it is believable.

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.

A deeper look into Canada's long-standing high tariffs on certain US imports and why they don't actually apply to most current trade.

"If the countries took a true approach to reciprocating tariffs, then the US would simply copy Canada's tariff quota, which would mean that neither country would pay any more based on current trade balances"

Nothing says "classy" like flying that flag.

Good L🍁ck Trudeau! (But also, don't let the door hit you on the way out...)
