The village of Lucky Lake saw the mercury plunge to 1C (33.8F) on Monday, June 21, which smashed its previous record for the date of 3.5C (38.3F) set last year, in 2020 (further signs of our cooling climate).
The Leader area observed a low of 2C (35.6F) on Monday, which was cold enough to comfortably usurp the old benchmark of 3.3C (37.9F) from 1951.
While Rosetown suffered the lowest temperature in all of the west central region. It dipped below freezing with a low of -0.8C (30.5F), which busted the town's all time record of 1.1C set way back in 1917 (during the Centennial Minimum).
Not only was the Town of Rosetown the coldest in west central region of Saskatchewan, it was the coldest provincewide, beating-out Mankota at -0.6C (30.9F) and Val Marie at -0.5C (31.1F).
In addition, historic summer freezes have also swept the provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, and southern Quebec.
As the obfuscating mainstream media draws everyone's attention to the anomalous heat in the West, the majority of the North American continent has actually been suffering record-breaking cold:

Historically low solar activity and a resulting meridional jet stream flow are to blame for North America's summer chills — these forcings are also responsible for the West's heat, because as easily as a wavy jet stream can deliver Arctic cold unusually-far south, it can also send Tropical heat anomalously-far north:
These climate forcings and mechanisms have been understood for decades, but as they jar with today's politicized anthropogenic global warming narrative they have been conveniently forgotten:

Looking ahead, additional record summer cold is the cards for central and western regions as that 'Grand Solar Minimum' pattern continues to manifest:

I agree and I am Canadian.
In fact build a wall all around the US and put a lid on it. (not really serious)
P.s.: For reasons too long too explain I'm staying at home, don't go anywhere and basically am on stand by for 5 weeks yet I caught a cold last week. Where did that come from ???.
A wall is a good idea. Thanks for that

Here we're talking proles near the pole. Should we call where they live the 'North Prole'?

In 1972, I was 13 and was listening to the radio in our room (me & brother) and I had already been thinking about UFO's or such. A new song came on by Bowie, from Ziggy: Starman, [Link] (listen to it - it's about Ziggy's landing, it seems to me) and its timing seemed so propitious that I literally went As re this cooling/warming article which the BFM sells as a part of the whole fear narrative of woebal glorming , Bowie's song, Five Years, on that Ziggy album, somewhat played upon (and/or mocked) all the fear porn books ff like 'The Population Bomb',(1968) and 'Future Shock' (1970) type stuff then getting all the press and in the song called "Five Years" on that same Ziggy album. Some lyrics: Well, I just stumbled across Bowie playing that live in a studio (no audience that I could see) in 1972 and it's mixed way better than most from then, etc. A GREAT performance! Check it out. [Link]
