WeatherSummaryforOntario

Temperatures

The average mean June temperatures were above normal in the north (especially near HudsonBayandthenorthwest)andnearnormal inthesouth.Variabilitywasagainfoundonfiner time scales but during June, there was more similarity or coherency regionally. Nearly all regions saw a very warm start continuing from the end of May. Many locations saw temperatureswellinexcessof30oCsuchasatSt.Albert (35.5oC) and Ottawa (35.1oC) both on the 1st. This was followed by a slightly cool or near normalspellduringthesecondandintothethird week.Forthelastweek,astrongandbriefwarm periodbeganorstrengthenedacrossmostofthe province, especially into the north where high humidex values of around 40 were felt (in KenoraandRawsonLakeonthe20th).

Precipitation

Conditions were very dry in the north againforJune.Thisismostnoticeablenorthand northeast of Thunder Bay to Moosonee where somelocationssawlessthan10%ofthenormal monthlyaverage.Themostprecipitationfellin southern Ontario especially from Hamilton to east of Georgian Bay to Sudbury where some amounts exceeded 300% (Muskoka). The beginning of the month was particularly dry withalmostnoprecipitationacrosstheprovince until into the second week. Then much of southernOntariosawmorerain,morethan50% ofthemonthlyaverageamountinthelastweek alone.

SignificantEvents

ASmokedProvince

Airqualitydeteriorated across the province because of smoke plumes from wildfires in northeastern Ontario and Quebecinthebeginningof the month. A local fire affected areas northeast of Lake Superior from the end of May. While smoke from that subsided in the areabyJune8,smokefrom Quebec affected the northeast and central Ontario starting the first weekendofthemonth.The smoke spread to eastern and southern Ontario duringthefollowingweek. TheAirqualityHealthIndex(AQHI)inOttawa exceeded 10 (very high health risk), with high concentrationlevelsofthemainwildfirepollutantofconcern,particulatematterat2.5microns or less (PM 2.5); it reached near or above 100 μg/m3for22hoursfromJune5toJune6witha peak of 511 μg/m3 on June 7. (World Health Organization guideline for 24-hour mean for PM 2.5 is only 15 μg/m3 or less). It was so severe that at one point, the scattering effect of smoke particles turned the sky and the sun an orange colour. Elementary schools imposed indoor recess. The smell of smoke was everywhere, reaching as far south as NewYork City. The smoke eventually subsided, and the event cametoanendoverthesecondweekendofthe monthforsouthernOntario.

As drier and hotter conditionssettledintothenorth mid-month, more wildfires were spawned, generating smoke for parts of northwestern Ontario. Smoke affected the area on and off for the rest of the month. Northeastern Ontariosuffereda similarfate, with wind flow occasionally bringing smoke from the combination of wildfires in Quebec and northeastern Ontariotothearea.ByJune21, smoke blanketed areas around Georgian Bay and North Channel once again, reaching eastern Lake Superior. In the last week of the month, Sault

June 11 - 13: Rain Finally for NortheasternandSouthernOntario

Aweather system from the US tracked northeastbringingmuchneededraintosouthern and northeastern parts of the province. Parts of the GreaterTorontoArea received over 70 mm (UxbridgeWestandatstationsfromtheToronto and Region Conservation Authority). Barrie received 60 mm and Muskoka 56 mm. Flood messages were issued by the Toronto and RegionConservationAuthority.Inaddition,the unsettled weather spawned the first two tornadoes of the season in the province, both Enhanced Fujita Scale-0 (EF0) according to WesternUniversity:oneinTalbotville,justwest ofSt.Thomas,whichcauseddamagetotrees,a restaurant, and tossed patio furniture; another oneinBeachvillejustwestofWoodstock.

OutlookforJuly

Temperatures are likely to be above normal for much of the province except from the western Greater Golden Horseshoe area to southwestern Ontario where there is no clear trend. For precipitation, drier-than-normal conditions are expected for the Far North and north of Lake Superior, with some isolated pockets of above-normal conditions along the lowerGreatLakes;thereisnocleartrendforthe restoftheprovince.

REPORT from OTTAWA Rapport d’Ottawa

by/par Carol Hughes Federal member of Parliament Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing

There'sapersistentresiliencetoinflation rates,andincreasinginterestrateshavedonelittle to cool the economy.The cost of groceries have been a significant challenge for Canadians over the past year and a half in particular, as unlike manyotherconsumeritems,foodisessential.

While grocery chain CEOs have consistently maintained that they have had no choice but to raise prices for consumers, those same chains have managed to rake in record profits at a time when many Canadians are findingitharderandhardertokeepfoodintheir fridgesandcupboards.Majorgrocerychainslike LoblawsandMetroaccountfor80percentofall grocery sales in Canada, and no relief in costs appeartobeinsight.

However, recent developments seem to beonceagainshiningalightonthepotentialthat grocery costs aren't just the result of increased foodproductionanddeliverycosts,butthatthey may be padding profit margins on the backs of Canadians. On June 21st, Canada Bread Co. plead guilty to four counts of price-fixing under the Competition Act and have been fined $50 million for its role in a years-long scheme to fix the price of bread. The Competition Bureau has stated that it is the highest price-fixing fine ever imposedinCanada.WestonFoodsandLoblaws, which are both subsidiaries of George Weston Ltd., have already admitted to their role in the pricefixingscandal,andhavereceivedimmunity fromprosecutionasaresult.

If grocers have been illegally fixing the priceofbreadfordecades,itdoesnotseemoutof the realm of possibility that anti-competitive practicesforotherfooditemsmayberesultingin Canadians paying higher prices for food items thantheyshouldbe.

The House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food has been examining the issue of food prices in grocerystoressincelastyear.Monthaftermonth, thecommitteehasheardwitnesstestimony,from grocerychain CEOstofoodbankdirectors,and have compiled an extensive report on their findings. Among those findings is a list of 13 recommendations designed to help determine howwecanbringfoodcostsdown.

Those recommendations to the government include: collecting and making public data on costs throughout the Canadian agri-food supply chain; providing additional funding to Indigenous-led initiatives in remote

andNorthernareastoimprovefoodsecurity;and reimbursingfarmersandretailerswhohavepaid a 35 percent tariff on their imports of Russian fertilizer, among other key recommendations. However, one recommendation from the committeewhich,asareminder,iscomprisedof MPsfromallpartiesintheHouseofCommons, stoodout.

“TheCommitteerecommendsthat,ifthe Competition Bureau finds evidence in its upcomingmarketstudythatlargegrocerychains are generating excess profits on food items, the Government of Canada should consider introducingawindfallprofitstaxonlarge,pricesetting corporations to disincentivize excess hikes in their profit margins for these items,” statesRecommendation9ofthereport. This has been a consistent

messagethegovernmenthasheardloudandclear sinceinflationarypressurebeganhittingpeople's pocketbooksayear-and-a-halfagothattheyhave yet to act on. The purpose is to incentivize groceryCEOsandexecutivestokeeppriceslow and ensure that customers are not being gouged bythesecorporationsunderthecoverofstandard inflationarypressure.

While the Competition Bureau's investigation into massive grocery retailers' profits is ongoing, it's clear that putting any optionsonthetabletohelpdrivedownthecosts ofsomethingsofundamentaltohumanexistence as food is necessary. An effective windfall tax would not harm those companies who are keeping their products at a reasonable rate, but wouldcertainlyimpactthoseattemptingtogouge consumers.

1.AvoidFOMOoverspending

FOMO (fear of missing out) is a real phenomenon that even seasoned adults fall prey to.Weseeotherstakingtripsorbuyingthelatest techgadgetsandsuddenlywefeellikeweneedto be part of that club. But what if you can't afford thosethings?

Talk to your kids about ways they can build social relationships and enjoy student life without spending beyond their means. For example, many campus activities are free or subsidized. If they're on a meal plan, they could eatoncampusfirstandjustorderanappetizeror dessert when out with friends. Chances are they aren'ttheonlyonetryingtosticktoabudget.

2.Protectpersonalinformation

For kids who will now be banking and making payments online, applying for part-time jobs using their Social Insurance Number and possiblylivingwithroommatesforthefirsttime, it’s even more important to remember to keep

passwords private. As examples, they should check their online bank statements frequently, ensurethey'reusingsecuresitesforonlinecredit card purchases and update their computer's antivirusandsecuritysoftwareasnecessary.

3.Seekhelpifneeded

Finally,youwantyourkidstoknowthat if they do end up in financial straits, they shouldn't be afraid to come to you and let you know.Weallmakemistakes;it'soneofthemany ways we learn. But the sooner they share a problem,thesooneryoucanhelpthemfixit.
