Important Takeaways:
- Canadian wildfire smoke blocking sun, causing solar panels to produce 50% less energy
- The eastern United States is having a lot of trouble producing enough “renewable” energy for itself ever since the Canadian wildfires first sparked.
- It turns out that all the smoke now blanketing the skies is preventing natural sunlight from reaching solar panels, which are said to be producing about 50 percent less energy as a result.
- According to reports, the solar farms that power New England are producing about 56 percent less energy at times of peak demand during the wildfires compared to before they began.

Luke 21:25 “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves
Important Takeaways:
- The smoke is expected to gradually blow away from the U.S. East Coast over the weekend, but the fires in Canada are still burning.
- According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, there are currently 426 active fires in the country.
- Of those fires, 232 are labeled as “out of control.” Just 112 are marked as “under control,” while another 82 are “being held.” A fire being held means it is not moving but still not considered under control.
- Harsh weather conditions in Canada are fueling the fires and making it harder for firefighters to combat the flames. This isn’t likely to go away.
- The most recent outlook, published this week, said that the wildfire season this year is already “severe” and warned that current predictions “indicate the potential for continued higher-than-normal fire activity across most of the country throughout the 2023

Important Takeaways:
- Wildfires force thousands to flee, damage scores of homes in Canada’s Nova Scotia
- Wildfires in Canada’s Atlantic coast province of Nova Scotia have forced thousands of residents to evacuate and damaged scores of homes, authorities said Monday.
- The Halifax Regional Municipality said preliminary estimates indicate that about 200 homes or structures have been damaged, based on initial visual inspections by first responders.
- Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency said an estimated 14,000 people were told to flee their homes, most of which are about a 30-minute drive northwest of downtown Halifax.
- “This fire has not been contained; this fire is not under control,” he said. “It did not spread appreciably and that is thanks to weather, the work of the firefighters on the ground and the work of the air units.”
- However, Meldrum stressed that a change in weather conditions forecast for Tuesday could complicate things.
- David Steeves, a forest resources technician with the Department of Natural Resources, said the fire was helped by a lack of rain and a wooded area thick with softwood trees, which provide a volatile fuel source. “It was perfect conditions for a fast, quick, dangerous fire,” Steeves said.

Important Takeaways:
- More than 29,000 people are evacuated from communities throughout Alberta as wildfires rage in Canada
- In the past 24 hours alone, 16 new fires have ignited in Alberta, Wildfire Information Unit Lead Christie Tucker said during a Sunday evening news conference.
- Fighters across the province are still battling 98 wildfires, 27 of which were burning “out of control,” according to Alberta officials.
- In a news conference Monday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith asked residents with firefighting experience who can “lend a helping hand” to contact emergency services.
- This type of ferocious wildfire activity isn’t typical this early in the year, and firefighters don’t usually see such a large area burned, Tucker said Sunday morning.
- But bone-dry conditions, abnormally hot weather and high winds have converged to fuel this “really extreme wildfire activity,” Tucker said.
- Wildfires have burned a total of 390,000 hectares in Alberta so far this year, and recent blazes have burned a “huge amount of ground” over the last few days, Tucker said.

Important Takeaways:
- Son of jailed Canadian pastor faces potential fines, prison for preaching outside kids’ drag queen story time
- The son of a Canadian pastor faces potential fines and jail time for allegedly violating a new municipal bylaw in Calgary, Alberta, when he preached and read the Bible outside a drag queen story time for children at a public library on Saturday.
- Last month, the Calgary City Council passed the Safe and Inclusive Access Bylaw, which prohibits protests within 100 meters of a recreation facility or library entrance. The council also modified its public behavior bylaw to include the term “intimidation,” according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
- Pawlowski said that despite the presence of counter protesters at the event who apparently supported transgender ideology — including several people waving Pride flags who attempted to interrupt his preaching — only he and Friesen were issued tickets.
- “I asked the peace officers if they are going to enforce the same law on to the other side with the Antifa protesters, and he assured me [they would],” Pawlowski said. “So, I waited the entire time until they left, and nobody was served a ticket except for myself and my friend for preaching, reading the Bible and holding a prayer vigil.”
- Nathaniel Pawlowski says young people in Canada are awakening to their diminishing freedoms, noting the case of Ontario high school student Josh Alexander. The 17-year-old recently filed a human rights complaint after St. Joseph’s Catholic High School in Renfrew suspended him for organizing a student walkout to protest its policy of permitting biological males in girls’ bathrooms.

Important Takeaways:
- Now the NORTHERN border is a mess, too
- Last week, President Joe Biden took a victory lap following news that our southern border had “only” 156,274 illegal encounters in January. Not only does his spin ignore the fact that last month was the worst January on record in over 20 years for illegal encounters at our southern border; it ignores the worsening cost at our northern border.
- District in upstate New York includes six counties in the Swanton Sector, the most active sector of our northern border. In just the first three months of this fiscal year, Biden’s failure to secure the southern border has increased illegal encounters in the Swanton Sector by over 700%.
- Northern Border Patrol agents, including many from my district, who were deployed with no advance notice to the southern border have found themselves understaffed and overworked…Even many who were allowed to remain at the northern border were forced to work remotely, processing migrants in Texas — meaning less attention to the north.
- With the northern border more vulnerable, migrants from Mexico have begun flying to Canada in the hopes of illegally crossing into the United States — even amid freezing temperatures

- US Shoots down 4 Mystery Objects in 8 Days: ‘It’s Very Disturbing’
- S. fighter jets shot down another unidentified flying object over the weekend, this one over Lake Huron in Michigan on Sunday. This is the fourth flying object to be shot down in North American airspace in just eight days.
- The Pentagon says they’re still trying to determine what exactly the objects are and what they’re doing.
- Officials say the latest octagon-shaped device was unmanned and floating above sensitive sites at only about 20,000 feet. The Pentagon says they aren’t ruling anything out – not even UFO’s.
- Fighter jets also shot down objects over Alaska and Canada over the weekend. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said, “it represented a reasonable threat to civilian aircraft. Canadian and American fighter jets were scrambled, and an American F-22 successfully shot down the object.”
- The pilots who took out the flying object over Alaska on Friday described it as a type of small airship that interfered with their sensors before they shot it down. While the Pentagon says these objects do not appear to be related to the giant Chinese spy balloon that was shot down off the South Carolina coast, officials are still trying to determine if China is responsible.
- For now, there are more questions than answers about what these mysterious flying objects are, what their purpose is and who’s behind them

Important Takeaways:
- Canada’s Gov’t Assisted Suicide Program Leads the World in Harvesting ‘Live’ Organs
- Doctors in Canada, where the law Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) was passed in 2016, performed almost half of the world’s organ transplants after MAID for that period, according to the December 2022 issue of the American Journal of Transplantation.
- CTV News reports data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information confirms this new source of transplant organs accounted accounts for six percent of all transplants from deceased donors in Canada in 2021.
- In Canada, MAID is a department of the government. The decision to end one’s life is a voluntary one. The law was originally intended for Canadian citizens who were suffering from a terminal disease. But according to the government’s website, “You do not need to have a fatal or terminal condition to be eligible for medical assistance in dying.”
- According to Health Canada data, 44.2% of MAID provisions in Canada took place at home, CTV reported. The MAID recipient is given the medications in their home, and then transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital to have the procedure completed and their organs harvested.
- Recently, a paraplegic former Canadian military member complained to the veteran’s department that she was still waiting for a chairlift for her residence, following years of requests. Instead of an offer of immediate assistance to help her get up and down the stairs pain-free, the government offered to euthanize her.
- “I have a letter saying that if you’re so desperate, madam, we can offer you MAID, medical assistance in dying,” said Gauthier who first injured her back in a training accident in 1989.
