I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

🇨🇦 Jack Layton died on this day in 2011, months after leading the NDP to a historic 103 seats. His final message still resonates: “Love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear.” CBC’s coverage helped preserve a remarkable chapter of Canadian political history.

Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through the smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥
