The province of Québec 
no longer covers any medical services outside the province at full salary. Either the out-of-province doctor needs to manually file tbe paperwork with the province or the patient will have to pay from their pocket.

La province de Québec ne couvre plus aucun service médical en dehors de la province à plein salaire. Soit le médecin de l'extérieur de la province doit déposer manuellement les documents auprès de la province, ou bien le patient devra payer de sa poche.

Low-income renters press governments for ways to cool apartments in heat waves
Me: This should be standard for all rental housing… to have air conditioning.

@Nikolas@federated.press Have you considered, as a country, to stop buying dinosaur farts and juice (fossil fuels and gas).
Fossil consumption in other parts of the globe also heat up and dry out Canada, among other regions. Then, a small spark starts a large wildfire. We’re as affected, if not more by smoke and wildfires.
We need to stop consuming those dino extracts, as a species. Canada has its part to do, but the USA should take action to stop consuming these products.
Maybe we should stop selling petrol

@Nikolas@federated.press Also, not all protests happen in public; several happen in private life as well!
The small actions in everyday life for climate action do add up.
