Second warmest winter on record
We’re on track for the second warmest winter we’ve had since records were kept starting in 1871. Seems 2001-2002 was warmer, but I don’t have particular memories of that winter.
CTV has a piece about fuel poverty, with a caption saying “Hydro-Quebec has asked customers to reduce their energy consumption as the region is going through a period of extremely cold weather.” Except that is not the case. La Presse has the same CP piece but not the same caption.

It seems that when CTV uses a file photo it attaches the original caption from the story where the photo first appeared. The date of February 4 appears in the caption, and I did get a peak demand notification on that day to reduce power the next morning, and the following two. I have seen this behaviour from some other media sites, it’s just how they’re programmed.
