Breathtaking. I just hope #Yukon public health don't get wind of this & follow suit -
#Canada already has extremely high levels of renewable energy powering their grids, so they could EASILY get to 100% through solar. As in for mid-2026.
Renewables by Province/Territory:
#BritishColumbia 98%
#Manitoba 97%
#Quebec 99%
#NFLD 95%
#Yukon 90%
#Ontario 90% (incl nuclear)
Amp up the others.

“…the previous government allocated roughly $25 million for a replacement bridge. Since then, the total estimated cost of the project has increased to $193.97 million.”

“Ankh-Morpork no longer had a fire brigade…it did not take long for people to see the rather obvious flaw in paying a group of people by the number of fires they put out. The penny really dropped shortly after Charcoal Tuesday.” - Terry Pratchett, Jingo

Adios, Winter. Finally. Well, almost (it was still -19 degrees C this morning).

In which case, 19 cases of whooping cough in the #Yukon must be normal for March, right?
Did any journalist in local #Media ask our notoriously libertarian-leaning, politically-aspirant, mask-averse #YukonCMOH what the #Pertussis statistic for March usually is?
Well, of course not.

"From January 1 to March 26, 2026, there have been 19 lab-confirmed cases of Pertussis reported in the #Yukon".
And just to be clear, this is "not an outbreak" -
