UV 8?? So we all just melt if we go outside lol
Why are they doing judicial review on that air-quality thing again, doesn’t seem like it ever changes. Also 30C and UV 8 like… sunscreen and shades, got it.
I don’t get it, Metro is suing? Or Surrey is? Feels like everybody’s just covering the same pollution story for years. My cousin said those plants always get approved anyway so what’s the point of a review?
This “Savvy Seniors” letter writing one is kind of cute but also who’s even checking their mail these days? Like I get it handwritten letters are nice, but with scammers and all that, people just don’t trust anything. Also Leonard Krekic sentencing in the fall… that’s so messed up, I hope they throw the book at him.
