Lately I've been thinking that I could be pretty good standup comedian. I've got the stage presence, the observational skills, the patter. I've got the contempt. The frothing, bile-flecked disdain for the travesty of the human animal and all its projects. The withering, red-hazed lens of deconstructive entropic judgement, the scrutiny of which no articulable concept survives. I'm good at establishing a rapport with an audience. I would be a pretty good standup comedian
finished a book today, starting another. summer reading just has another flavor to it compared to autumnal reading (which is still my favorite) that i don't appreciate enough.
Several wildfires are forcing members of a number of First Nations to flee their homes in northern Ontario.
Four First Nations in northern Ontario are under a mandatory evacuation notice according to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and one community, Namaygoosisagagun was being engulfed as residents fled.
“I had time to run home and pack a bag and get to the beach where the boats were waiting,” said a member of Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins). “We literally had minutes to get on the boats and flee before it took our town.
Members of Whitesand First Nation, Lac des Mill Lacs First Nation and Gakijiwanong Anishinaabe Nation have also been ordered to flee ahead of wildfires in the area.
A number of fires around several others are being watched including Rainy River District, Gull Bay First Nation, Pickle Lake, Ignace and Upsala.
“The OPP reminds the public that wildfires are dynamic and unpredictable,” said a statement by the police service on social media. “Fire behaviour, including the size and direction of a wildfire, can change rapidly due to weather conditions and other factors.”
Several social media posts show massive grey and black plumes of smoke and fire from various fires.
Environment Canada has much of northern Ontario under a severe heat warning, with forecasters predicting highs of 36 C and the humidex making it feel as hot as 40 C.
The Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN), which advocates on behalf of 49 First Nations in northern Ontario, says that members should be prepared for anything.
