More than 10,000 evacuees are being supported by the Red Cross and 860 are being supported by the SPSA (Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency).

About 15,000 have fled Saskatchewan wildfires and more coming: Premier Moe

Moe said he has spoken with his provincial counterparts, as well as Prime Minister Mark Carney, and was told that resources would be made available to battle the fires that continue to affect more than 30 communities.

Why did Canada just cave to Trump by scrapping the Digital Services Tax? in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Trade watchers have always suspected Canada was holding on to the DST mainly for negotiating purposes. It was something generally positive for Canada that could nonetheless plausibly be negotiated away for some meaningful purpose, perhaps in the planned six-year review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) that replaced NAFTA under the first Trump presidency. Prime Minister Carney admitted this was the plan in a press scrum today (June 30).

I'm really hoping they played this card right. It doesn't feel like they did, but I hope Carney is playing on a level we don't get.

Back button in in-app browser (lemmy.ca)
 

Can we get an option to change the behaviour of the Android Back button when using the in-app browser?

My preference would be that it would act like a browser back button and take me back a page if I've browsed beyond the initial page I went into the browser for. The in-app back button at the top left would still always take me back to the post or post list like it currently does. Additionally, I'd prefer that the Android never brought me out of the browser, even if I was on the initial page, but some people might not like that.

Or... Having a dedicated browser toolbar with back, forward, refresh and the url would be ínteresting.

Thanks for the awesome app!
