According to Global News, a tornado touched down at 1:45 p.m. near Ferintosh.The tornado watch, issued Monday at about 3:30 p.m. and covering south of Edmonton and as far east as the Saskatchewan border, was cancelled at approximately 7 p.m. the same day. ECCC is now investigating. The tornado warning said conditions "are favourable for the development of funnel clouds and possibly brief, weak tornadoes."“Strong winds, large hail and heavy rain are also possible. The potential for tornadoes will exist until early this evening.".This is what the Western Standard is up againstThe Trudeau government is funding lies and propaganda by directly subsidizing the mainstream media.
