A feedback loop of climate change I think is underappreciated is that many trees, particularly conifers, need a certain number of hours of cold in the winter or they end up dying. So a heatwave in the winter one year can kill off large amounts of trees, these trees turn into dry brush which is more easily ignited in the summer a year or two later.

Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec are going to be extremely flammable in the coming years.

I spoke to a hops farmer last year, they had lost nearly half of their plants from the lack of sunlight during the fires the year before.

This Absurd Canadian Court Ruling Just Proved How Broken Canada Has Become Perhaps the most absurd Canadian court ruling of the year just hit, and it leaves an accused child predator free to walk among us. A deaf man who never learned to communicate gets a free pass on sex crimes against kids because his charter rights would be violated by even assessing him. Meanwhile, Liberals under Mark…

One More Episode

You were supposed to be watching the show.

That was the whole point.

Carney had spent twenty minutes insisting that you start this series because it was "the best thing ever."

Now, three episodes later, he was asleep.

You looked over from your side of the sofa.

Sure enough, his eyes were closed.

One arm was draped across your shoulders and his head was resting against the cushion.

"Carney."

No response.

"Carney."

A quiet hum.

That was it.

You laughed softly.

"So you're making me watch your show by myself?"

His eyes opened immediately.

"I wasn't asleep."

"You're a terrible liar."

"I was resting my eyes."

"Right."

Carney smiled sleepily before pulling the blanket higher over both of you.

The rain outside tapped gently against the windows.

The room was warm.

And honestly?

Neither of you were paying much attention to the television anymore.

A few minutes later, you noticed Carney looking at you.

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Carney."

A grin appeared on his face.

"I like this."

"Like what?"

"This."

He gestured vaguely around the room.

"The rain. The sofa. Being lazy."

You laughed.

"Very specific."

"You know what I mean."

And you did.

Because some of your favourite moments together weren't the exciting ones.

Not the holidays.

Not the fancy dates.

Just the quiet evenings where neither of you had to be anywhere.

The evenings where you could simply exist together.

The next episode started automatically.

You reached for the remote.

"No."

Carney immediately grabbed your wrist.

"No?"

"One more episode."

"You said that an hour ago."

"Okay."

He smiled.

"One more episode again."

You rolled your eyes.

But you left it playing.

A victorious grin spread across his face.

"I knew that would work."

"You're impossible."

"Yet here you are."

Before you could think of a comeback, he settled further into the sofa and rested his head lightly against yours.

Comfortable.

Happy.

Exactly where he wanted to be.

And honestly?
