On Monday - I asked for Environment Canada’s forecast for #Wainwright on Oct.17. After initially saying it would not comment but was collaborating with investigation- EC has released the info
Wind warning at 2:14pm. Cold front arrives at 3:30pm with recorded winds at 90-105km/hr

For the first time in nearly 50 years, the 400-kilometre Tibbitt-to-Contwoyto winter ice road in NWT that connects the Far North to the rest of Canada will not be built — and climate change is not to blame.
Instead, three of the four diamond mines the ice road supplied have closed and the fourth is scheduled to wind down ahead of schedule next year due to a global crash in natural diamond prices.

This is what we’re up against trying to report on the CFB Wainwright tragedy.
On October 18, I asked Environment Canada for the original wind-warning bulletins for the region, to make sure I hadn’t missed any and because several had since been archived online.
I also asked for the timestamped XML files — or directions on how to access them myself.
I wasn’t asking about the fire. I wasn’t asking for anything new. I was trying to retrieve historical weather warnings and records, most of which were already publicly available.
This was their response.
It took them two full working days to send this.

It’s also worth noting that that candour came in a setting where media were asked to leave the room. So, presumably, Farrell thought she was in an in-camera setting.
Sounds like total candour from Dawn Farrell to the BC AFN. No platitudes or blowing smoke. Don’t know how it hit in the room, but I’ve gotta respect it.
“The projects that we have to deliver out of our office have to achieve your rights. We have to make sure that we go through your processes,” Farrell said.
“We can’t just make stuff up. The courts will just come and overturn the projects and we’ll be like Canada’s always been, 10, 15 years, dragging stuff around in the ditch and not getting it done and wasting time and money and resources, and your time and your people’s resources. We can’t keep doing that.”

Major Projects CEO Dawn Farrell told First Nations in B.C. today that the frustrations expressed over a lack of consultation made her feel like Canada is "never going to work," but her office is determined to try.

Had a chance to sit down with Michael J. Fox this afternoon.
On Canada-US relations, he said the relationship between Canadians and Americans on a “human level” remains strong, despite the actions of “one guy throwing mud at the wall.”

Michael J. Fox was in Ottawa today, being honoured at Reid Hall as he was promoted within the Order of Canada.
More on that here: theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
An all-time line from Gov Gen. Louise Arbour today while promoting Michael J. Fox within the Order of Canada for his advocacy work on Parkinson’s:
“After all, back to the future has always been a much better idea than forward to the past.”

NHL Opening Night on @ESPN.
Had a 1on1 with David Suzuki this week.
The man who brought Canadians into the world of science and nature on TV has shifted his tone from educational, to exasperation.
Here's my chat with Suzuki on climate, Carney, and the "fucked up" global economy:

Dear @MarkJCarney we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible.
I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU.
And create a common prosperity and economic security space.
Good morning Canada. I’m on the ground in Strasbourg, France where Prime Minister Mark Carney attended the State of the Union address at the EU this morning.
In her address, Ursula von der Leyen said Europe wants Canada to be its 1st associate member:
