\u27a2 A polar vortex could hit Canadians as soon as next week, according to Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips.<\/p>\n

He said Manitoba and all points east will likely start to feel the effects of the vortex next week, with overnight lows that could fall between -15 C and -20 C. By the following week, he said, the vortex may also be gripping the three westernmost provinces, bringing overnight temperatures as low as -30 C. \u00a0Phillips is not yet certain that the vortex will fall over Canada, although he describes it as likely. It’s also possible that it instead puts pressure on the other side of the world, chilling northern parts of Europe and Asia.<\/p>\n

If the big chill does come, Phillips said, it might not be as intense as in some past years and he expects that it will only last a couple of weeks but the rest of the Winter will be colder.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 This is one way to bring attention to something in a positive way. People in a neighborhood of Shefford, U.K., say a silver VW Golf has been parked in the same spot on George Street since December 2019 and has become an eyesore. One of the car\u2019s tires is now flat, and the inside of the car is full of litter. Residents have reported the car on several occasions to various local authorities, but nothing was done. So last month, when the silver car had been parked there for a year, they threw the car a birthday party. They covered the car in party decorations, including happy birthday banners, balloons tied to the wing mirrors, and a white sheet taped across the windshield reading \u201cHappy one year!\u201d The hope is that drawing attention to the car will lead to something being done about it.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 Some people are attempting to break pandemic rules in any possible way they can think of. Those living in Quebec must adhere to a four-week-long curfew. This means they must stay inside their homes from 8:00 p.m. until 5 a.m. the following morning, but there are some exceptions. Essential workers who need to travel will be allowed to be out past curfew, as well as people who need to walk their dogs. On Saturday evening (January 9th) a woman reportedly was fined after being stopped \u00a0in Sherbrooke where she walked her boyfriend on a leash. The woman told police she was just \u201cwalking her dog\u201d and police added she was uncooperative.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 WILMER VALDERRAMA\u00a0<\/strong>bought the station wagon from\u00a0“That ’70s Show”<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

On the\u00a0“Kelly Clarkson Show”<\/strong><\/em>, he\u00a0said, quote, “We were in the last season, and I went straight to the props department and I go, ‘Listen, how much for the Vista Cruiser?’ . . . They said 500 bucks, so I bought [it].<\/p>\n

“Honestly, it’s the best thing I’ve ever acquired for my whole career.\u00a0 When I look at that car, it reminds me of when I was 17, 18 years old, booking\u00a0‘That ’70s Show’<\/em>\u00a0and doing that opening sequence where we’re just driving.”<\/p>\n
