Funny how Canada and America wouldn't exist without western Europe today and us Brits and they are mostly Europeans living there to. Don't worry there is a good reason we are doing this today,,
Im English, I live in England, UK. I once visited Jasper, many years ago. I recall Jasper, being a Calm / Pleasant, place. Awful now seeing this devastation.
Unfortunately there are a lot of dead trees in Alberta and British Columbia killed by the pine beetle. Including in the area of Jasper and Jasper National Park.
there are no words to express my sadness to the people of Jasper. Ive spent countless days in Jasper at various times of my childhood and Adulthood. My heartfelt prayers to all those who have lost their homes and businesses there
There's something odd with actuarial calcs here. The BC gov make it obvious that people are expected to have insurance (always going up) and that emergency help is only a bridge till you get your insurance co. to produce. I am not sure how many of the lost properties were insured for this specific hazard, an "act of god". Would be interesting to survey THAT situation. One might risk its life doing it. Big bizzniss.
That’s not entirely true. All they did was get rid of the rapid response program that had small crews try to contain small fires. Wouldn’t have helped here or last year
Both Notley NDP and UPC had cut firefighting budgets at some points. Regardless, the fire started on the "national" park, managed by Parks Canada, a federal jurisdiction. Trudeau government fails big time, spending more money on the east than the west, creating an enormous national deficit, sending money to foreign aids, spending money recklessly in ArriveCan scandal, WE foundation scandal, and scandal after scandal. Now impose new Carbon Tax and Capital Gain Inclusion Rate Tax, but the money still goes to greedy bureaucrats and their associated organizations, and useless public service agencies.
the premier of Alberta stopped the mayor’s evacuation order and called him an alarmist, the federal government moved responders into readiness even though the premier didn’t ask and she waited until the very last moment, when the city was burning, before calling them in - Smith let Jasper burn because she needed more time to cook up crocodile tears to shift blame off herself - where this is whole fiasco is completely set, well her an the Alberta voters who chose yet again another slash and burn politician to cut funding from everything and then somehow blame Ottawa. the second most subsidies in the entire country, the biggest whiners, the laziest people, Alberta is Canada’s spoiled brat
The recent wildfire that ravaged the Canadian town of Jasper is truly devastating. Images reveal a scene of utter destruction, with cars melted into the road and homes reduced to ash. The scale of the disaster is staggering, especially given the fire's uncontrolled spread over several days😢😢😢😢😢😢
It is all the fault of the Albertan Government for failing to properly prepare for such an inevitable scenario after the aftermath of Fort McMurray's large fire and the fault of the Canadian Parliament for cutting the nation's firefighting budget. Such disasters are not and NEVER WILL BE "happy accidents" or "natural coincidences" this is the outcome of state-based ineptitude.
My heart goes out to the people affected by this. I had a wonderfull time in Jasper in my early 20s. It WAS a beautiful town and the people are just as beautiful. 😢
I have stayed at Jasper during my first trip in Canada. Some of the best memories where made in the national park and the town. Im really sad seeing this...😢. Good luck and strength on the rebuilding.
It's not correct to say that 10s of 1000s of acres of land have been "destroyed". The forest is naturally purged by fire and it will regrow. The loss in Jasper townsite is heartbreaking, yes, and the economic loss is large but the land will recover. It has for thousands or millions of years.
A really good book to read about these new kinds of wildfires that are also never going to go away is written by a Canadian American author, and the book is called Fire Weather. it is mainly about the fire in Fort McMurray, but it covers other terrible wildfires in a few other places and it is terrifying to read. Also, you really feel the destruction of peoples lives after the fire and the deaths of wildlife.
It has been the coldest July in the 42 years i have been alive in Wales. I have a garden on an allotment and nothing is growing because the nights have been to cold and there has been too much rain. The ground is not getting warm enough!!!!
Has anyone heard whether or not the Fairmont jasper park lodge was lost? I know it sustained some damage the day before but it seemed like the fire made another attempt at it. Any news?
In California homes must resist earthquakes, in Florida hurricanes, and in China cities build against floods. In Canada we build houses out of wood in forest fire zones, allow ember-trapping wooden decks, lack bylaws preventing combustible materials being stored against structures, or distances trees must be from homes. Many communities in the US build municipal golf courses as fire breaks and utilize their underground water storage if there's a fire. Not in Canada. When wildfire fighters hastelly install structural protections, it's basically sprinklers on rooftops. Anyone could do it in advance from home hardware, but nope. Eventually insurance companies will force change.
How did such a massive wall of flames manage to engulf the town so quickly? What steps are being taken to recover and rebuild in the wake of this tragedy? This situation raises many questions about the impact and future recovery for Jasper and the surrounding areas🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Probably due to an unusually dry Spring and early Summer, parts of the forests having dry tinder. Then lightning strikes with no rain ignited those tinder box conditions. Thankfully the rain is now falling & will start to extinguish the fires. Having lived & worked in Canada in the 70's, I can tell you that when it rains it pours !! It's heart breaking to see the devastation but thankfully it appears that no lives were lost. 🇬🇧🇨🇦💕
It travelled 5km in under an hour because of the winds. The flames were over 100m high. No amount of fire breaks or firefighters can do anything about an inferno like that. This is only one fire in Alberta. There are over 100 more and 50 of them are out of control. British Columbia is much worse.
This is not the first time they've had wildfires in Canada that have virtually destroyed whole towns and apparently it's getting worse. The wildfires are starting earlier in the season now and getting more frequent, they are having freek weather, much hotter summers than before. I watched some time ago a program showing some yrs ago about a wildfire in a town in Alberta. The local fire service couldn't cope with it, they had to call upon fire services from another nearby state. Then a few yrs later the same town was flooded after the local river was blocked by ice and overflowed. The fire destroyed a large part of the town, homes, factories, offices everything. The fire services managed to save a part of the town, but the homes had to be cleaned and re decorated etc because of the smoke got inside them. It was absolutely awful, can't imagine. Also the river was very wide but the fire just jumped over it, how can you stop a fire like that
@@AuroraBoarder1 Are you accusing me of lying. I don't remember now the program was some yrs ago, all I remember is that it was in Alberta Canada. And they said the fire season was now starting earlier in may and wildfires increasing. Are you one of those climate change deniers
You know why? It's because Canada hasn't been managing their forests properly. They leave hundreds of thousands of dead trees standing like matchsticks.
@@garywagner2466 So you know better than the experts and people that actually live in Canada, live in those areas that are experiencing it first hand. I'm just giving you the facts, the information. If you choose not to believe the facts then that's your problem

A house built on sand will certanly fall. A house built out of wood will certanly burn. A house built on a flood plain will cetainly be washed away. A house built in tornado alley will certainly be blown away.....So, why do people keep building houses in these places ?. Let's bulid a house in Pompay, the view of the volcano will be spectacular. Is humanity REALLY this stupid ?. Yepp, guess so.....
What do they expect… you offer indigenous people tax free incentives to fight forest fires and you can’t believe it when they start lighting them for the work!
As someone who lives in Calgary, it has been absolutely heartbreaking to watch. I truly wish the Canadian government had been more prepared, but instead they cut the budget for fighting wildfires..
Fighting wildfires isn't really possible, you know, All the video of water bombers is just for the TV audiences near large population centres who want to see their tax dollars at work. Canadian boreal forests are huge.. There''s not a lot of water in Jasper anyway, except Maligne Lake. You kind of have to let them burn themselves out. When the forests are full of dead trees killed several years ago by pine borer beetles and left to dry out, this is what happens. You could cut down the dead trees and harvest the timber before it burns but tourists and enviro activists don't like seeing clear cuts in national parks. They especially don't want timber companies profiting off them. The enviros would rather let the forests burn than let the trees be harvested. All the forests along the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Railways burned from slash cutting for the rights of way and then ignited by sparks and cinders from steam locomotives, and from hot wheels breaking down hills. After it burns, you get monocultures of lodgepole pine growing up that are all the same age -- the cones need fire to germinate -- and they get sick and die all at the same time. And then there is arson to think about.
Before everyone starts shrieking “climate change” this fire was deliberately lit and the local fire brigade had been defunded by the Government and had insufficient resourced to deal with it. I live in Australia and we know the cause of most fires, people.
There are a lot of dead trees because of pine beetle infestation in Alberta & BC, including around the town of Jasper. Dead trees and hot summer temperatures is a recipe for a wildfire; all you need is a spark. Environmental assessments takes years to plan and implement because of conflicting interests. In other words, poor forestry management. Nature doesn't follow the plans & schedules of people and sometimes people are in the way.
It was Rachel Notely an NDP premier!!! Danielle Smith a conservative injected 55 million into the budget for wildfire fighting. Get the facts straight 🤦
It's not just conservatives, surely? Newsom's California faces similar problems, as do many regions in the world which have thrown aside age-old solutions to the wildfire problem.
Jasper is still there. The townsite took a hard hit at about 30 % gone. Residents knew it was just a matter of time before the “big one” hit the townsite. Nature trumps man, always will.
The actual percentage is around 50-60% gone. And it's not a consequence of nature, but human incompetence. Alberta absolutely FAILED to learn a SINGLE lesson out of countless ones birthed from the aftermath of Fort McMurray in 2016. The Canadian Parliament are also responsible for their cost-cutting just like the United States' budgetiary incompetence when dealing with fire management AND firefighting capabilities.
Huge anger at our provincial government and our premiere for this. The park and town are legally a tripartide responsibility. Our provincial government members are climate change deniers who support an all in fossil fuels economy. They did I dont know what with millions from the federal government in fire prevention funding and for research into the Pine Beetle problem. The cut funding drasticaly over several years to our fire fighting program and then put a bandade on the resulting mess afrer disrupting the programs. Not good enough. Now shes trying to blame the federal government and saying the provence was not responsible. Hmmm...nope. This is on you...
Smokers sould not be soiling the outside of their vehicles with callasly disguarded cigerette butts to prevent their ash trays filling up or smelling. But they do. But if it hasn't rained for weeks and the tempretures are so hot that all is tinder dry then please save your selves and make sure the butt has been stubbed out. You may think your little butt can not burn down a town of vast forest. But at this very hot period of summer that is just what a lite butt can do. Extinguish Butts fully before discarding them. People and animals may die if you do not. Even zooming along a country motorway listening to your favorite songs at 70mph. Your smouldering butts are a potential threat if tossed out of the window still glowing.
I hope everyone will realize that we all need to reduce consumerism to reduce pollution/greenhouse gas to the environment, it is not only using EV, it is reducing the number of factories building poor quality stuff that eventually litter the earth. Otherwise, we will be seeing more and more wildfires and flooding all over the earth.
Stop watching the propaganda put out by the BBC! Anyone who believes in the anthropogenic climate change is, according to an astrophysicist, scientifically illiterate. Go learn some real facts!
It was started by lightning, you gonna stop lightning by reducing greenhouse gases. Plus the pine beetle destroyed thousands upon thousands of trees, that laid there for years, perfect recipe for forest fire.
EVs in this instance would have been a disaster!! 25,000 people were trying to evacuate on two lane highways in a mountainous region. They were in a traffic jam for hours. They could easily have been left stranded with an EV. In an emergency situation.
Ignited by gps remote controlled detonators dropped by Chinese Weather balloons (!) with full co-operation of Justin Trudeau, to keep the Climate Change Narrative rolling??? Surely not😂
So nice to see, (& hear?), BBC is DEI! As for Jasperiites, they had no clue a fire would ever happen in their town, that’s why they weren’t prepared?! Yeah, they’re just beginning to get the idea that Disneyland is an expensive illusion, just like the goofy notions they had about fires never coming to visit them?1
Interesting Factoid: The Rappel Program was critical for quick response to fires in remote areas in Alberta. As expected, they would also cooperate with federal agencies to coordinate first response. These crews had a history of success in keeping remote fires from getting to a disastrous point like we've seen in jasper. The UCP Scrapped this program for minimal savings (~1 million). Since 2019, the UCP has gutted Alberta's fire fighting capability by a whopping $30-million, roughly a 25% reduction. This very well could have been avoided. We need more first responders and preventative measures. Professionals need to be hired and paid. Budget cuts wont achieve this. Federal land or not, local jurisdictions work closely with feds in a fire of this scale and they have been handicapped in Alberta by the UCP.

This bird has hatched her egss in faacees fallin from my bott
Huge anger at our provincial government and our premiere for this.
The park and town are legally a tripartide responsibility. Our provincial government members are climate change deniers who support an all in fossil fuels economy.
They did I dont know what with millions from the federal government in fire prevention funding and for research into the Pine Beetle problem. The cut funding drasticaly over several years to our fire fighting program and then put a bandade on the resulting mess afrer disrupting the programs. Not good enough.
Now shes trying to blame the federal government and saying the provence was not responsible. Hmmm...nope. This is on you...
No facts in this comment, just bovine excrement.
ooh very early
Not a natural fire - DEW
🤦🏾♂️🙏🏾
Arson?
Smokers sould not be soiling the outside of their vehicles with callasly disguarded cigerette butts to prevent their ash trays filling up or smelling. But they do. But if it hasn't rained for weeks and the tempretures are so hot that all is tinder dry then please save your selves and make sure the butt has been stubbed out. You may think your little butt can not burn down a town of vast forest. But at this very hot period of summer that is just what a lite butt can do.
Extinguish Butts fully before discarding them.
People and animals may die if you do not. Even zooming along a country motorway listening to your favorite songs at 70mph. Your smouldering butts are a potential threat if tossed out of the window still glowing.

Hello how are you doing?
WILD GRASS OF INDIA IN BETWEEN EVERR GREEN RELATIONS MAKES LESS IGNITING POSSIBLE ,,,,DONT PULL THEM OUT
How about reporting the unity rally?
Hey how are you doing today..?😊
crying for all the millions of animals who died horrific deaths, the government did this😭😭😭
Red Cross will take donations and Run remember Haiti and Fort Mac
I hope everyone will realize that we all need to reduce consumerism to reduce pollution/greenhouse gas to the environment, it is not only using EV, it is reducing the number of factories building
poor quality stuff that eventually litter the earth. Otherwise, we will be seeing more and more wildfires and flooding all over the earth.
Stop watching the propaganda put out by the BBC! Anyone who believes in the anthropogenic climate change is, according to an astrophysicist, scientifically illiterate. Go learn some real facts!
It was started by lightning, you gonna stop lightning by reducing greenhouse gases. Plus the pine beetle destroyed thousands upon thousands of trees, that laid there for years, perfect recipe for forest fire.
The complete lack of rain was not caused by the pine beetle.
@bubba842 did I say there was a lack of rain because of the pine beetle? No I didn't.
EVs in this instance would have been a disaster!! 25,000 people were trying to evacuate on two lane highways in a mountainous region. They were in a traffic jam for hours. They could easily have been left stranded with an EV. In an emergency situation.

So nice to see, (& hear?), BBC is DEI! As for Jasperiites, they had no clue a fire would ever happen in their town, that’s why they weren’t prepared?! Yeah, they’re just beginning to get the idea that Disneyland is an expensive illusion, just like the goofy notions they had about fires never coming to visit them?1
😎
Interesting Factoid:
The Rappel Program was critical for quick response to fires in remote areas in Alberta. As expected, they would also cooperate with federal agencies to coordinate first response. These crews had a history of success in keeping remote fires from getting to a disastrous point like we've seen in jasper. The UCP Scrapped this program for minimal savings (~1 million). Since 2019, the UCP has gutted Alberta's fire fighting capability by a whopping $30-million, roughly a 25% reduction. This very well could have been avoided. We need more first responders and preventative measures. Professionals need to be hired and paid. Budget cuts wont achieve this. Federal land or not, local jurisdictions work closely with feds in a fire of this scale and they have been handicapped in Alberta by the UCP.
Lockstep with LA as usual
Project Jasper is a collaborative research initiative by Payments Canada, the Bank of Canada, financial innovation consortium R3 and a number of Canadian financial institutions to understand how distributed ledger technol- ogy (DLT) could transform the future of payments in Canada
Hey how are you doing..?😊
Oh cool crocodile tears from Smith. What a clown.
GAULS REAACH ENGLAND ,,,,HINDUS BECOMES SULTAN OF UK ,,,U HAV RISHI SUNAK IN UK ,,, RUSSIA IS THE PROUD 1,,,
Well mister Tredeau/ Canada
This the time to step up
This is on the Conservative provincial government in Alberta - headed by Ms. Crocodile Tears, if you actually watched the video before commenting. Alberta is basically Canadian Texas.
I want every right wing supporter to know about this & doubt their toxic views
What has right wing voter got to do with it. 🤣🤣 Brainwashed oath. it was likely a left wing voter that started it.
