Canada's wildfire paradox: fewer fires, greater destruction highlighted in new analysis
Canada's wildfire seasons are growing longer, larger and more destructive, according to a six-decade analysis of fire records by the federal government's Canadian Forest Service. Hanes is the lead author of both the 2019 and 2025 national studies examining long-term changes in Canada's wildfire regime. The dynamics Hanes describes are no longer abstract datasets but have played out repeatedly in recent wildfire seasons across the country. Pricing the fire riskThe shift in the wildfire landscape is also being felt in Canada's insurance industry, which is warning that rising wildfire risk is reshaping losses, premiums and long-term housing decisions across the country. "Our job is to price risk," McGuinty said, noting that in areas of Canada with greater wildfire exposure, insurers have had to make "changes to insurance policies."

When my son cried, I listened. My father never had that when he was in residential school
My father was a Sixties Scoop survivor who was taken to residential school in Manitoba. (Submitted by Alexander Redhead)I sometimes felt a quiet emotional distance between us — not because he didn’t love me, but because he had grown up in residential school without consistent safety or affection. My father didn’t have a choice. It was about listening to the child in front of me, and the child my father once was. A national 24-hour Indian Residential School Crisis Line is available at 1-866-925-4419 for emotional and crisis referral services for survivors and those affected.

ICE nodding to far-right extremists in recruitment posts, experts say
(Julio Cortez/The Associated Press)Gais is among several U.S. ex perts tracking a series of references in the ICE recruitment posts that, while obscure to most, seem to be wink ing to extremists. In October, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, posted an image of George Washington on horseback with the URL to the ICE recruitment page. Beirich wonders how many of those applicants were drawn by the controversial social media posts. But far-right groups have been responding favourably to the social media recruitment campaign, recirculating the posts on their own social media channels. But when asked by U.S.-based media about its social media posts, DHS has denied it was referring to white supremacist material.

Massive winter storm across U.S. brings snow, frigid temperatures, widespread power outages
A massive winter storm continued in the United States on Sunday morning, dumping sleet, freezing rain and snow across southern states and up through New England, bringing frigid temperatures, widespread power outages and treacherous road conditions. "It is a unique storm in the sense that it is so widespread," weather service meteorologist Allison Santorelli said in a phone interview. As of Sunday morning, about 213 million people were under some sort of winter weather warning, she said. Splintered and downed trees lie across a neighbourhood street as a winter storm moves through Nashville on Sunday. Weather service forecasters predicted record cold temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills descending further into the Great Plains region by Monday.
