Health dangers of extreme heat

Sweltering temperatures have returned to the GTA and it could have major impacts on your heath. Afua Baah speaks with a Toronto paramedic about how common it can be to be hit by heat exhaustion.

The feminist construction workers should fight for better working conditions in the heat.

Seriously? Flaggers are the ones who have to wear all that fkn PPE. The rest can wear a vest. 🙄

Oh my! It's summertime and a nice hot day, and the news has nothing better than to make people fear the hot weather.

[@Oldeagle66]

Yes, it's mostly the media. I'm seeing everyone handling it well.

[@johncasey5594]

It really bothered me, so you know what I did. I searched KZbin for weather reports from Summer in the 80's and 90's. You know what I found, The Weather Network videos showing temperatures very similar to what we have today. Oddly enough the maps were not colored bright red. The weather presenters would comment that people should get out there and enjoy the good weather, people should go out swimming, etc. There was none of this mass hysteria. The climate change people keep telling us the weather is getting hotter. Kinda a pesky inconvenience where there is actual evidence for all to see of their lies. Evidence of their attempted manipulation. Yes, people may be dying from the heat. I am sure people died from the heat back then too. People need to learn to adjust their activities in this weather... same as always.

Klimate agenda

[@almontoya5703]

Yup and the encouragement of trying to get everyone to get an A/C LOL I never had an A/C in my home in the last 50 years and don't plan on getting one. It's actually dangerous to the body using A/C for many many years as the body never had adapted to summer weather.

My home in Scarborough has no hydro and no ac right now. Olivia Chow has not opened up the warming centres in my Ward.🤬

@@Sam19509the guy who is privatizing alcohol sales so it’s incredibly easier to get alcohol? That’s the guy you are blaming?

[@Sam19509]

@@arkcon714 he doesn’t drink himself. He is just owned by alcohol lobbyists. It is so embarrassing how much he promotes alcohol but underfunds healthcare, education & post-secondary education in the province.

⁠coldest, wettest spring and summer in decades

[@almontoya5703]

It's called summer LOL Las Vegas are laughing at us!

[@MajakKames]

It's called summer, Australians are laughing at us too. They would call it "summer" when it's 29 degrees. Entire Canada - "heatwave" at just 29 degrees Canada 🇨🇦 is just like the UK 🇬🇧 LOL 😂

[@MajakKames]

Yep, so as Texas, too.
