The National Film Board of Canada was founded in 1939 by John Grierson who invented the term "documentary" The first Canadian fiction films in the 60s, Le Chat dans le sac and Nobody Waved Goodbye, pretended to be docs to trick the NFB for funding. We have a long history of this.

There's a real effort from a class of very aloof, sensible economists to undermine the emerging antitrust movement. They fell over themselves to dismiss "greedflation," a theory that keeps finding validation, as hysterical populism. Egg on their faces, I guess.
When the cost of eggs spiked in 2022, economists said bird flu alone was to blame. Anyone who suspected corporate price-fixing was dismissed as a crank.
Inside the alleged egg cartel the experts said couldn’t exist.

My brother and I are researching this disaster.
Here's some notes from our reseaech:
1. Canadian parliament member is reporting a media blackout (grrr)
2. Approx ~5 aircraft appear to be associated with this event.
3. Current reported fire zone is ~2.5mi SE from Wainwright explosives storage. NASA FIRMS shows historical hotspots between current reported burn and explosives storage
4. Local resident reports seeing potentially up to ~150 casualties
5. Wainwright hospital is overwhelmed. Hospital is small, only ~25 beds.
6. Local school is currently being used as a triage center per local civilian
7. Photo evidence of ~5 civilian ambulances, at least 1 ISV, and other military vehicles being used to transport casualties
8. Local trucker reports support convoy heading to Wainwright ~1.5hr ago
Notably:
Edmonton hospitals (all of them) are currently operating between 97-105% capacity prior to incident, meaning the volume of casualties to overwhelm is relatively low (they have total approx 2500 beds). Wainwright would be overwhelmed by ~20+ casualties.
This appears to be an ammunition explosion during a training exercise resulting in a large, rapidly spreading fire that is current burning in a southeastern direction, with multiple agencies responding. There appear to be 100-200 total casualties with limited triage support available, exacerbating the emergency.
Hospitals across Alberta, Canada are reportedly being overwhelmed by the number of injured from the ongoing major fire at CFB Wainwright, the cause and extent of which is still unknown, with details being kept very quiet by the Canadian Ministry of National Defense. Some sources place the number of dead in the dozens with hundreds of injuries, though nothing has been verified by officials in Canada.

有件趣事可以分享一下。
因为中国禁毒嘛,所以吸毒者线上购买毒品需要用各种代词,其中一个代词就是“糖”
有一个大哥,卖的是真正的糖,但是他假装成毒品卖给吸毒者,就赌吸毒者拿到以后不敢报警。
于是他就这样卖了好几年,赚了很多钱。
警察查到他的时候,以为要立功了,结果发现他卖的就是糖。
