- The city of Flin Flon, Manitoba is warning its residents to prepare for possible evacuation as a result of an out-of-control fire that started across the provincial border in Creighton, Saskatchewan. Further north, the town of Lynn Lake is already being evacuated due to a wildfire.
- There are so many signs, interpretive plaques, and the like in a typical national park that they may not be accurately tracked. The Trump regime, though, wants to do something about that - they're ordering all parks in the National Park Service to post signs advising visitors to report any information that is "critical of American history".
- Danielle Smith continues to court the deplorables. They are planning to set new requirements for school libraries by this fall limiting them to "age-appropriate" material, and will be holding public consultations to give some of Canada's worst people the opportunity to air their grievances about such things as the existence of LGBT* folks.
- Speaking of deplorables, here in Manitoba the perennial far-right candidate and antivaxxer Patrick Allard is trying to sue Fort Whyte NDP candidate Trudy Schroeder as well as the party for defamation over a comment Schroeder made during the campaign when she accused him of spouting "racist rhetoric". The folks in this Reddit thread have pointed out that he's posted stuff like this, and appeared in pictures like this, so I'm not sure he has such a good case.
- A bar owner in Quebec City posted a job ad for a barmaid, specifying that applicants who are "woke" or who support the Liberals or the centre-right CAQ need not apply and justifying this by saying "I don’t want someone who, during the pandemic, would have called the police if their neighbours had visitors". The ad has since been taken down.
- A former police chief from Gateway, Arkansas, who had been imprisoned following convictions for murder and rape, has escaped from prison disguised as a guard and remains at large.
- Another day, another Thunder Bay police officer facing criminal charges.
