Extreme cold persists in Northern Canada, with temperatures ranging from -20°C to -40°C for several weeks. On Dec. 23, the region recorded its coldest December temperature since 1975.

Parts of Yukon are experiencing prolonged, extreme cold—with temperatures ranging from -20°C to -40°C—lasting for weeks!

On Monday, Dec. 22, Braeburn in Yukon recorded a staggering -55.4°C. This marks the coldest temperature in Canada since January 1999, when -57°C was recorded.

Only a day later, on Dec. 23, Braeburn recorded an even colder -55.7°C. This is the coldest temperature recorded in December across Canada since 1975, when temperatures plunged to -56.7°C.

The persistent cold was due to the polar vortex remaining stationed over Northern Canada this past month.

The pilot from Nova Scotia, Canada (Who has drew numerous logos and more in the sky with flight paths over the province) just drew another masterpiece in the sky!

Dimitri Neonakis departed December 16th at 14:29 UTC (10:29 local), flying for approximately 15 minutes before putting on his beret (all true artists wear berets, so this absolutely happened) and going to work. Mister Neonakis chose another classic Grinch pose, the “straight-back-hands-resting-defiantly-by-the-waist”, and spent the majority of the flight at around 2000 feet. It took him 2 hours and 30 minutes to draw the entire thing, and we especially nod and silently applaud details such as the eyes and hands.

The FES said the federal government is putting Canadian hero Terry Fox on the new $5 bill to honour his Marathon of Hope and his efforts to raise money for cancer research.

“By February 1981, the Marathon of Hope had raised $24.7 million or $1 for every Canadian,” the FES says. “His run was interrupted just past the half-way point when the cancer reached his lungs, and ultimately took his life.

“Through his efforts, the 22-year-old showed Canadians the difference that an ordinary person could make through sheer willpower and determination.”

Former Liberal prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier will be moved from the $5 bank bill to the next version of Canada’s $50 bill.

Wiz Khalifa is facing almost a year in prison in Romania for w**d possession, but is hoping to avoid a stint behind bars.

According to TMZ, Romania’s Constanța Court of Appeal upheld an appeal on Thursday (December 18) to sentence the Pittsburgh native to nine months in jail, overturning a previous ruling that sought to merely fine him 3,000 Romanian lei (roughly $700).

While Wiz himself has yet to comment on the sentence, sources close to the 38-year-old say that “nothing is set in stone just yet” and his team are “currently in the process of appealing the sentence.”

Court documents reveal that Wiz was convicted for “unlawful possession of dangerous drugs for personal use,” with the Eastern European country imposing notoriously strict punishments for illegal substances.

Jeff Garcia — the beloved voice actor who appeared on many popular 2000s shows — has died..

Multiple family members tell media... the comedian and actor was pronounced dead early Wednesday morning after he was taken off life support Tuesday night at a Southern California hospital while surrounded by family and friends.

We’re told Jeff was dealing with multiple medical complications in the months before his death ... suffering a brain aneurysm back in the spring, during which he fell and hit his head. He recovered from the aneurysm, but our sources say he suffered a stroke several weeks ago.

Our sources say Jeff canceled multiple shows recently because he wasn’t feeling well ... which wasn’t like him at all, but he didn’t go to the hospital, believing he’d be fine without treatment.
