Nearly 30,000 lose power on Vancouver Island amid rare spring snow
BC Hydro said nearly 30,000 customers on Vancouver Island lost power Sunday morning in an area just north of Nanaimo. Most of the outages affected Qualicum Beach and Parksville, a region that saw rare spring snow Sunday. BC Hydro cited several causes for the outages, including failed transmission circuits, downed wires and the snowstorm itself. "The outage on #VancouverIsland was caused by heavy, wet snow bringing down several trees," the Crown corporation. "Crews are working to complete repairs but customers may still experience an outage once the line is restored due to smaller, localized damage." By 5 p.m., BC Hydro said it had reduced the number of outages to about 1,000.

Just 6% of young adults in UK believe their views influence government policy, revealing dramatic loss of faith in politics - poll
A dramatic loss of faith in the ability of British democracy to serve the interests of UK voters is revealed in a new report that finds that donors to political parties and big businesses are now commonly viewed by the electorate as the main drivers of government policy. Disturbing evidence that millions of voters feel their voices and views go largely unheard while big money interests hold most sway is uncovered in the latest report by the IPPR thinktank, in collaboration with the Observer, on the future of democracy. The study, entitled Road to Renewal, draws on YouGov polling of 3,442 adults, which found that just 6% of voters in elections in Great Britain believe their views are the main influences behind eventual decisions on policy taken by government ministers.

Parts of Alberta just got some heavy spring snow - up to a foot deep
Albertans know we usually aren't out of the snowy woods until we get past the May long weekend, and parts of Alberta just got a heavy dump of spring snow. Let's just say the Easter bunny may have a heck of a time navigating Fort McMurray next week, thanks to a hefty amount of snow they got overnight Saturday into Sunday, April 10. The northern Alberta city can expect a further five centimetres of the white stuff to fall today according to Environment Canada, on top of the already large amount they've already received. It's set to be cold too thanks to strong winds tonight pushing the temperature to feel like -19°C overnight. Not very spring like at all!

Drivers surprised by heavy spring snowstorm in the Cascades, Washington - more snow to come
Heavy snow fell in the Cascades Sunday morning making for tough driving across the Cascades passes. Snow is expected to continue falling through Monday. There could even be some lowland snow in spots in the south Sound and above 500 feet early Monday morning. Tania Salazar was just heading back from a wedding in Cle Elum. She's a make-up artist and finished up her work there in the early afternoon. "It is crazy," she said. "I had a party, a birthday party so I was trying to get there." But mother nature had other plans for early April in western Washington.

Thousands of scallops wash up on Satellite Beach in Florida, leading many to ask: 'what's happening?'
Countless calico scallops washed ashore Friday, scattering a mystery over a mile-long stretch of Satellite Beach. Local beachgoers say they've never seen anything like it, while state biologists — as they investigate the matter — speculate wind and waves brought them in. Others aren't so sure. "Our Fish and Wildlife Health staff have samples and are currently investigating further," Carly Jones, a spokeswoman with the state's Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, said Friday. "It is most likely that a combination of wind and/or wave swells washed them ashore." Kevin Johnson, a professor of Ocean Engineering and Marine Sciences at the Florida Institute of Technology, doubts that's the case. "Their typical habitat is 30-40 meters deep," Johnson said Friday. "I don't think we've had winds that could do that without some help. I believe something weakened or killed them ahead of washing ashore."

Moscow threatens to sue the West if forced into artificial bond default
Russia will take legal action if the West tries to create an artificial default in the country, Izvestia newspaper quoted Finance Minister Anton Siluanov as saying on Monday. The US blocked Moscow's payment to its bondholders last week. "Of course, we will sue, because we have taken all the necessary steps to ensure that investors receive their payments," Siluanov said in an interview. "We will present in court our bills confirming our efforts to pay both in foreign currency and in rubles. It will not be an easy process. We will have to very actively prove our case, despite all the difficulties." The minister earlier said the country would do everything possible to make sure its creditors are paid.

Always. Especially when the fates seem to converge and every single item in the "news" herds public opinion in the same direction and serves the same agenda ...which bird flu definitely does. Food shortages. Soaring poverty. Rationing. The cost of living crisis. They're all part of the Great Reset agenda. In pursuit of that agenda, over the last two years, they destroyed small businesses and wrecked the economy, they have driven truckers out of work and broken supply lines, they have started a war between two of the biggest exporters of wheat in the world and driven up the price of petrol and natural gas. Bird flu fits this pattern perfectly. The price of poultry and eggs is set to skyrocket...and just days before Easter. We know they just faked a pandemic in humans. You think they can't -...

Report: Ballot harvesters in Georgia stopped at Democrat offices in between runs to drop boxes during 2020 election
During the 2020 election, ballot traffickers in Georgia allegedly stopped at Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams' headquarters, and at least one other Democrat Party office in between their runs to stuff unmanned drop boxes with ballots. Surveillance video featured in conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's upcoming movie "2000 Mules," reportedly shows people coming out of their cars "night after night" with piles of ballots, and stuffing them into drop boxes funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Election integrity activists used geospatial technology to track the ballot harvesters' cellphones to precise locations.

An interstellar object exploded over Earth in 2014, declassified government data reveal
Classified data prevented scientists from verifying their discovery for 3 years. A fireball that blazed through the skies over Papua New Guinea in 2014 was actually a fast-moving object from another star system, according to a recent memo(opens in new tab) released by the U.S. Space Command (USSC). The object, a small meteorite measuring just 1.5 feet (0.45 meter) across, slammed into Earth's atmosphere on Jan. 8, 2014, after traveling through space at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h) — a speed that far exceeds the average velocity of meteors that orbit within the solar system, according to a 2019 study of the object published in the preprint database arXiv. That 2019 study argued that the wee meteor's speed, along with the trajectory of its orbit, proved with 99% certainty that the object had originated far beyond our solar system — possibly "from the deep interior of a planetary system or a star in the thick disk of the Milky Way galaxy," the authors wrote.

Father of 5-year-old pterodactyl: It's not easy to get species-affirming care in America
Local man and father of a 5-year-old trans pterodactyl Bradley Mingastank is struggling to find the medical care his young dinosaur son needs, as it is very difficult to find species-affirming care in the United States. "Seriously, it's 2022, and we still haven't figured out how to provide adequate medical care to children who think they're extinct flying lizards," said Mingastank. "I do my best to raise my son Madison as a pterodactyl per his wishes, which is important for his self-esteem. I only communicate to him in ear-piercing dinosaur screeches, I feed him small rodents and fish, and every once in a while I push him off the roof of the garage so he can try flying. But no other doctors seem to be willing to help him get the ultraviolet heat lamps and lizard medicine his pterodactyl body desperately needs." According to sources within the family, Madison first discovered his true pterodactyl identity when he put on a Halloween costume and then refused to take it off. It was...

Father rejected as kidney donor for his own son over vaccine policy
The Cleveland Clinic's vaccination policy is preventing Dane Donaldson from donating a kidney to his nine-year-old son, Tanner, despite his being an almost perfect match. The clinic's policy is that all patients and donors who are still living must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order for surgery to be performed on them, and it appears that no exceptions are being made in the case of the Donaldsons. According to local news, Tanner Donaldson "...was born with one kidney and right now it functions at between 18-20 percent." His condition is currently being managed, but, sooner or later, he is going to need a transplant.

Jack Posobiec temporarily locked out of Twitter after calling Disney 'groomers'
Jack Posobiec was hit with a temporary Twitter lockout, the first since he reported on Hunter Biden's salacious laptop in 2020, for sharing links to buy T-shirts and stickers emblazoned with a Disney logo reading "Boycott Groomers." This after Posobiec broke a story on Human Events Daily showing that Disney's cast members, or lower level employees, were at odds with Disney's corporate stand against Florida's Parental Rights in Education law, or the "anti-grooming" bill.
