2) dismissal of symptoms by ourselves and healthcare providers do not benefit anyone

if you have symptoms, please seek care regardless of your age

Dear Mr. Wakeham: Climate changes aren’t coming — they’re here  – The Independent
Not only are wildfires caused by climate change, new research links the heatwaves that cause them to oil companies active in Newfoundland and Labrador

Sadly, this wonderful unit, its excellent staff, and its funding do not exist anymore. This is just one example of how the budget cuts impact the community in NL – no one wins here...

I've been back from Newfoundland for a month. I still keep St. John's on my weather app. It's 10C and windy there today. I bet my friend Irina has bundled up to go on a walk.

Painting, 27x30, vertical. Right side is the back of a woman looking out over The Battery towards Signal Hill in St. John's, NL. She's wearing a peacoat with the collar up and a wide brimmed brown fedora. The houses she looks over are grey, blue and yellow with white trim and black rooves. One has a red door. Signal Hill is scrubby and barren with a few fir trees sticking out. The sky above is pale blue, the ocean on the right is slightly darker blue.

A densely forested hillside covered in the brilliant colours of autumn, with trees shifting from deep green to vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red. The upper slope rises toward a darker ridge of evergreens, while the mix of hardwoods below creates a rich tapestry of fall foliage under an overcast sky.
