Gerrymander rejected, AL

Canada is now suffering over 400 wildfires,
more than ever before.
Climate scientists say that this is caused by global heating and
will get worse. Anyone who has been paying attention had to suspect

Alberta's government must be made to acknowledge that its tar sand oil

To be safe, wear an N95 mask.
You can get partial protection outdoors by wearing an N95 mask. An
honest KN95 works equally well; the problem with KN95 is that China
does not attempt to certify each brand and each model. As a result,
many kinds of KN95 masks are fake and won't protect at all.

Now many Russian scientists who worked on such projects are
terrified they will be the next chosen victim.
