And the Rest of It

It's an old stand-by and a necessary one:

Record high inflation is sending food prices soaring to new heights in Canada’s northernmost communities, prompting local hunters and fishermen to take drastic steps to address the growing need.

“It’s very expensive – gas, even the price of hunting equipment is going up,” said Kowmagiak Mitsima, a fisherman in Iqaluit.

 

Don't worry, Mr. Mitsima, the government will ensure that you can neither fish nor hunt for reasons known only to them.

 

 

Strange.

Experts in the field can refine old photographs and film.

You can't?:

Hundreds of thousands of records are at “serious risk” at Library and Archives Canada after managers stored material on obsolete tape cartridges, says an in-house report. “Some of the material is on media so old Library and Archives Canada does not have the hardware to open it,” wrote auditors.

 

Because of course they are:

The Public Health Agency plans a 2023 earthquake drill. An earlier pandemic drill was interrupted by Covid: “If there is a significant seismic event in either British Columbia or in the Ottawa-Montréal-Québec City corridor we would be looking for an all-of-society approach.”
