BURNABY (NEWS 1130) – Mounties in Burnaby are urging you to check on your loved ones during this heatwave, after dozens of sudden deaths that are believed to be linked to heat.
RCMP say in a 24-hour period since Monday, officers responded to more than 25 sudden deaths. Investigators believe heat was a contributing factor in the majority of the deaths.
Many of those who died were seniors.
“We are seeing this weather can be deadly for vulnerable members of our community, especially the elderly and those with underlying health issues. It is imperative we check on one another during this extreme heat,” said Cpl. Mike Kalanj.
A person died in my building(langley). They were found this morning by contractors who are re-piping our building and have the keys to go in each apt to work.
Where did you order from? I presume you've already hunted for the cheapest price
Bestbuy, couldn't find any significant deals. Costco doesn't carry this specific model, nor does bed bath beyond with their coupon. At this rate just getting it rather than regretting it later. Worked out for my AC!

If someone close to you died from the heat or COVID, you wouldn’t be making such a comment.

Then, when the rains come, all the oils and fluids that accumulated in the asphalt over the hot dry weather will come up and make the roads super slick, causing accidents.

I replied to another one of your posts that was along the same lines. I posted it, then thought about it long and hard. I ended up deleting it, because there's nothing worse than starting an exchange that doesn't solve anything. Bad feelings and whatnot.
Anyway, for some reason, I saved it.
Spoiler!

Buddy, we get it. We all know you don't give two shits about the elderly. You've said it so many times. However, that problem has been, for the most part, addressed. Most elderly have been fully vaccinated. Long ago, I may add. I hope what you say doesn't come back to bite you. It doesn't affect you, so you dismiss the issue. If the tables were turned and young people were dying and suffering by the hundreds, you'd be singing a different tune.
It's human nature not to care about the suffering of others that have nothing to do with you or affect you directly, or indirectly, for that matter. Try to see things from other people's perspective. The victims of this pandemic and their families have, or are going through, a lot of pain and suffering. Nobody asked for this.
Also, a lot of sacrifices have been made by many. Just hearing stories about business owners who have lost everything breaks my heart. People's dreams and hopes wiped out in a matter of months. After all that has been sacrificed, the restrictions weren't worth it or necessary?
I've said this before, most of the seniors I know would gladly sacrifice their lives if it meant the world would be a better place. Not sure if it's a generational thing or not, but in my generation we cared about the well being of our fellow man. Even strangers. Our generation wasn't great, and we fucked up so many times, but is this generation any better?
This is not a personal attack on you. You posted stuff that really bothers the hell out of me. I'm making it sound like a generational thing. Maybe it isn't. Every time someone posts stuff like, "This pandemic should be called Boomer Remover," it makes me wonder.
You are young, my friend, and I used to be much like you. More than I would like to admit. After seeing all kinds of shit over a lifetime, maybe.............
Anyway. I'm sorry if this offends you. It's not meant to. At my age, nothing should bother me. Just smell the roses and let the young people do their thang.
After all that, it was just an age thing. Well, more power to the young. I will go back to my little corner........ got it off my chest and it feels weirdly good.
I've said stupid things before myself on RS. I hope when I got called out, I admitted to everyone that it was a dumb thing to say. Maybe even <gulp> apologize. Maybe the heat, covid, and last week's full moon is getting to me.

We are fortunate to be next to the ocean. A friend of mine lives in Lytton. Literally a cabin in the woods. Lytton and Osoyoos are like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Shohei Ohtani. Neck and neck for the title of the hottest place in BC. Another stinking hot place is Ashcroft. I remember racing up in Ashcroft (Eagle Motorplex) one year and it was dirty hot. Dusty as fuck. Very uncomfortable. Like most desert places, however, low humidity, so not as bad as it was here recently.
I didn't know how low the elevation was in Lytton. 630 feet. 49.6ºC. So close to the 50......... c'mon, Lytton. You can do it.

Feels so good last night and today (that nice cool breeze). Left all my windows open, had a good nights sleep. 20-25 degrees is the right temperature for me, anything higher is too hot just makes day to day work uncomfortable (sitting at the desk at home and sweating while typing away for work - keyboard/mouse is sticky LOL).
It's crazy how after that heat, 22C in the morning is totally comfortable, if not cool
We're heading out to Penticton for the week today, 40 degrees, and 37 for the week. Yikes.
Was in Penticton 2 weekends ago when it was 30/32 and Jesus Christ..waiting on the pavement for a seat on a patio, direct sun, no shade, legit felt like I was dying slowly

We’re saddened to see the toll the heatwave has taken on the community. 53 sudden deaths were reported to VPD on Tuesday. Since Friday, police in Vancouver have responded to 98 sudden deaths. 2/3 of the victims are 70 years or older. #BCHeatWave

"The public was acutely aware that we had a heat problem," Horgan said. "And we were doing our best to break through all of the other noise to encourage people to take steps to protect themselves."
The premier said he was waiting for further details on the recent deaths from the provincial coroner adding, "fatalities are a part of life" and that the causes of them "are examined by officials."
He also emphasized there was a "level of personal responsibility" for residents to look after themselves and each other.
