Canada witnessed severe weather conditions in 2024, significantly affecting multiple provinces. Notably, Calgary faced an overwhelming hailstorm that resulted in approximately $2.8 billion in damage, marking it as one of the costliest natural disasters in Canadian history. The prevalence of extreme weather events throughout the year, including heavy rainstorms across Quebec, has triggered a vital conversation about climate change and preparedness strategies.

Additionally, incidents such as the devastating hailstorm in Calgary, which caused nearly $2.8 billion in damages, have brought attention to the increasing cost of natural disasters in Canada. The year has also been marked by notable cultural events and stories of resilience from individuals making notable impacts amid chaos.

I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 𝟬𝟬𝟵𝟲𝟳737726277 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you weاπ~π~π~π~÷~ππ~π~^~°÷~π~÷~π~π~π~π،.،،......................🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
