After forcing thousands of people to evacuate in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario, wildfires are also approaching residential areas in British Columbia, where there are 94 active fires – the data is from today, source BC Wildfire Service – including all types of fires: out of control, being held (under control, but still smoldering) and under control. Of these, 48 are still out of control.

Judgemental report by the Auditor General, Karen Hogan

TORONTO – Canada’s Auditor General (AG) did our new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, a huge favour this week when she presented her Report(s) to Parliament. Report 4 – Professional Services Contracts is nothing less than a scathing indictment of the process and procedures followed or ignored in [Federal] bureaucracies when allocating taxpayers’ monies to obtain services and assets for the public benefit. In a word, there may not be any; moreover, the [political] oversight seems to have vanished completely. At least in respect of GCStrategies Inc, the focus of the Report.
