Lytton is often the hottest spot in Canada despite its location north of 50°N in latitude. In three consecutive days of June 2021, it broke the all-time record for Canada’s highest temperature, ending at 49.6 °C (121.3 °F) on June 29. This is the highest temperature ever recorded north of 45°N and higher than the all-time records for Europe and South America. The next day (June 30), a wildfire swept through the valley, destroying the majority of the town.
A lot of conservatives do the environmentally right thing in quiet corners where nobody will notice because it’s actually cost effective and rational.

Yes, although it seems much more recent. At that time, I had never even heard the word “derecho.” Know it well now.
