A look inside Canada's hub of operations as nation battles 5,000 wildfire
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 окт 2024
- Canada is home to nearly 10% of the world's forests. Those same forests, however, are now the fuel to what is perhaps the most intense wildfire season in the nation's history, if not the most significant wildfire crisis around the globe.
Thanks for this information. Better reporting than I’ve seen on Canadian news.
As a Canadian I am very saddened and concerned by these wildfires. After the fires are extinguished, many areas will have to manage floods and landslides, until these forest grow back.
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with such an awful prime minister. His censoring is criminal.
@@jakearsenta2144 What doe that have to do with the fires?
@@thelmarose2782dude in Canada everyone thinks Justin is a powerful powerful man I mean they blame it for everything literally everything it’s actually kind of funny. There just stupid freedumb convoy people. Most Canadians are not actually this stupid.
Well because of logging companies outside of the government so blame the corporations the forestry management in this country is horrible most forests are not supposed to burn like this but because of years and years and bad management and treating the forest like a product we get this result but they don’t care because wether the tree is dead or alive they will cut it down and turn it into lumber. Removing all that nutrients from the forest making the problem occur again and again until it’s a desert.
@@jakearsenta2144 still better than bumbling biden
Thank you for this balanced report that talks about the smoke affecting your area without acting like Canadians are not suffering and fighting with all we've got against more than 5000 wildfires, and without playing the "Blame Canada" song (to which they callously added wildfire lyrics) like our country is burning from ocean to ocean to ocean because we're incompetent and we didn't get hit by the climate crisis harder and faster than we could have imagined. I particularly appreciate your reporter making the point "imagine all 50 states were hit by unprecedented wildfires all at the same time." He is the ONLY US journalist i have seen make this very important point. Because that is the crux of this catastrophe: normally only one or a couple provinces or territories might get hit by really bad wildfires and all the other provinces and territories send help. Plus we have mutual aid agreements with the States and Australia. And that has always been sufficient, but things have changed, and they changed exponentially instead of incrementally so though progress was happening we did not get a chance to complete our "deep adaptation." (Trust me, we are training new wild land firefighters and building new water bombers as fast as humanly possible.) Furthermore, provinces that normally have few wildfires just erupted like never before, especially Quebec (a massive thunderstorm passing right over the exceptionally dry boreal forest in early spring hit it with a thousand lightening strikes that started a couple hundred wildfires, 6000 times worse for that date of the year) and Nova Scotia (where the capital city was burning before they managed to put it out. Nobody could have imagined this!) And everywhere else in Canada was already burning, thank God our allies came to help (including the US). And this is why, though Canada rarely needs help, we had to ask everyone who could to send firefighters. Canada is always willing to help others (often the US though it goes unreported) and it was heartwarming to see how many nations came to our aid. Americans of course, in large numbers. Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Chileans, Costa Ricans, Mexicans, Spaniards, Portuguese, French--I'm probably forgetting countries. Thank you for everyone who came. (Please send more. We're still on fire.)
If there is one silver lining to the clouds of smoke, it is the ad hoc Canadian 2023 Wildfire Season International Symposium: firefighters from around the world are learning from each other and comparing notes and figuring out best practices while fighting these new catastrophic conditions together. And we need to fight this together: recent apocalyptic wildfire seasons in California, Australia, Russia and now Greece and Algeria tell us this is a worldwide problem fuelled by greenhouse gases that make the forests more flammable and increase the number of lightening strikes--and tragically emit tons of greenhouse gases when they burn, worsening the crisis in a negative feedback loop.
But to work together we need to be on good terms and focused on finding solutions. Playing the Blame Canada game is a destructive coping mechanism and it's way passed time to constructively solve the problems. Which is why I really appreciate this report. So many US articles have just unfairly blamed Canada, from the NYPost with the headline that literally said "BLAME CANADA!" to the WashPo with the misinforming headline that Canada refuses to have a firefighting force. The problem is not the incompetence of Canadian firefighters (every province and territory has a wildland firefighting force and they are coordinated nationally by the InterAgency your reporter visited, another thing he got right where others just went with their chosen narrative that smoke must be blamed on Canadian incompetence.) Canadian firefighters, and the InterAgency coordinated forces, have always gotten the job done, for centuries. They did not suddenly become incompetent this year. The job got unexpectedly and exponentially worse. And that's "the new abnormal" so we should work together and learn this lesson: the climate crisis is not going to get worse slowly and give us plenty of heads up. It's going to hit hard and fast, in ways we have never experienced before, and we need to be ready for the unexpected. Like the US government shared with us new technology for the rapid detection of wildfires (particularly important in Canada where the vast wilderness devoid of humans allows wildfires to grow undetected; and in the boreal forest where the trees are so flammable flames quickly grow into monstrous fast-running crown fires too hot to put out; and the tree roots burn and smolder underground and can reignite wildfires that had been put out--many foreign firefighters refused to believe this until they saw it for themselves.) So thank you for this very helpful technology--but it came two months into the wildfire season when everywhere was on fire--having it before might have helped us avert the worst of these monster wildfires. Canada had started preparing for worse fire seasons but in retrospect we should have done it faster, we had less time than we thought. So not only do we need to pool our resources, we need to put our heads together and think about the unthinkable before it hits us unprepared. Because we share a continent and natural disasters do not stop at the border. Thanks again for this report based on real journalism.
And South Koreans! I knew I was forgetting someone. Thank you South Korea for sending firefighters! Also, I love KPop!
This is an amazing response. You should be working for these news outlets.
This is a fantastic comment. As a Canadian, I did not know the level of coordination, but I am glad to hear it. I’m also so very, very grateful for the international support we have received.
I concur...
@michellesheaf3779 - Thank you for that very detailed, informative comment that enhances the report. I wasn't aware of the *extent* of the *areas impacted* and amount of *international support* we've received in fighting the wildfires - and am *grateful* for it. It's devastating to lose so much of our forests, and how many *people* living and working nearby have been *_negatively impacted_* by it and the *_personal, professional and community losses they've suffered._*
Sending support from Ontario.
You forgot British Columbia which currently has the most fires threatening life and property 😢
My family is in B.C. including Osoyoos which had to be evacuated when a man-made out-of-control wildfire ran across the border from Washington state into British Columbia. I was hoping they might at least realize if the mighty USA cannot control one wildfire enough to stop it from crossing into Canada, maybe they cannot blame us for being unable to put out 5000 wildfires in remote wilderness and stop smoke from crossing into the US. At least it has only been smoke: none of our wildfires crossed into the US and God forbid that should ever happen.
We all need to remember natural disasters do not stop at the border and they're getting worse because of the climate crisis which is a global responsibility. I was saddened by all the Blame Canada nonsense (they even added callous new lyrics to the "Blame Canada" song) and ridiculous conspiracy theories from some Americans (like we can't put out the fires because female firefighters insisted on doing it by themselves and are incompetent. Most firefighters are men in reality, and every single one of them is fighting fire, it's all hands on deck). Others reacted like good neighbours and understand we weren't sending smoke south on purpose or through incompetence. A perfect storm of new climactic conditions escalated our fire season exponentially in the second largest forest in the world that is in great majority truly wild wilderness, far from any resources or roads or even trails. I understand smoke is horrible--I have asthma and Long Covid respiratory problems. But throwing stones at your neighbours when their house is burning down is not neighbourly. We need to be working together to find ways to prevent this. I appreciate this news report for reporting on how the smoke is affecting them without acting like the smoke just pops into existence when it crosses into the US and Canadians are not suffering and struggling and fighting more than 5000 wildfires, or jumping on the "Blame Canada" bandwagon, full of headlines that literally say "BLAME CANADA!", and memes like "WTF CANADA", and biased and misleading reports even in serious newspapers like WashPo, and crazy lies like "Jewish space lasers" that crazy people find totally more believable than lightening strikes that were recorded by weather radar and countless eyewitnesses. I saw the lightning strikes that hit my region during a massive thunderstorm passing right over the exceptionally dry taïga (boreal forest.) After hundreds of recorded lightening strikes we went from no wildfires to a couple hundred wildfires. But never mind the lightning strikes everyone in the region saw for themselves and never mind the scientific proof--it must be Jewish space lasers! *sigh* it's hard to not get upset by these things when your country is burning down around you.
Anyway, I know how bad things are in B.C. as most of my family is there. Stay safe! I know rain is not in the forecast but praying for it anyway. I have never looked forward to winter as I am now. May it come quickly and put an end to this hell.
@@michellesheaff3779 they are more than making up for it with the valuable expertise and assistance they are sending up here to help, particularly with the U.S. Forest Service and other State And Federal agencies
There is just something about that B word.
Ha ha ha
I live in Alberta, we can see the skies, we saw, Drones, dropping balls, then fires starting.
Looked into it, Transport Canada, purchased 100 Drones, trained Chinese operators, at a Military Base in Red Deer, and now, these Drones, are dropping fire balls, and causing fires, since may.
It's all listed, Buy and Sell.GC
Drones, training contracts and areas to be developed, the areas on fire now, are contracted for development in 2025 LOL
Time to wake up people, I don't want to be the only one who knows the Truth
I live in one of the current, hard hit fire areas of Canada. This is an excellent report. Yes, it feels like Canada is on fire. I have lived here since birth and am now 70 years old. I can tell you that over the past 10 years, I have witnessed hotter summers with more fires every year. The increase has been absolutely shocking over the past 5 years.
Not in Alaska. It was a very cool summer here lightening storms any fires were out out immediately. The arsonists have been working over time in Canada this year compared to the last few years. They must be getting paid well
Its because of the geo-engineering. The government is causing the hotter drier weather. Then hired arsonists to start these fires to push the climate hoax
Valerie - not to sound self righteous, but is it an 'excellent report' when it does not refer to human-caused climate change, including by Canada's gluttonous fossil fuel industry, as the central cause of the accelerating fires burning the world?
GotMoxy (BELOW) - if you want to believe that 'arsonists' are the main cause of the fires burning up the world, it probably makes you feel a little better. The truth is painful.
@@GotMoxyyes, its all arsonists 🙄
@@rhoho2217Yes, 5000 arsonists 🤣
I'm from Fort Smith Northwest Territories and almost 70% of our territory has been evacuated to Alberta. Fort Smith Hay River, Enterprise, Jean Marie River and Yellowknife have all been completely evacuated. Climate change is hitting the North far harder than many other places around the world - the average temperate has gone WAY up and the amount of rain way down. It was as hot as 34-35 C in Yellowknife which is crazy. DUring the heat dome 2 years ago Fort Smith was 40C and broke our temperate record by 5 degrees.
It was a good day today. I was able to open my windows in my home as air quality was good. My community has a 7600 hectare fire burning 10 km from city limits. Most days I must stay indoors as smoke fills the valley. I'm now going to my local mall to get filtered air as I have a lung condition. My province has 411 fires overall and 14 really large fires. Canadians are now realizing that summer means fires and poor air quality. A big thank you to our American firefighters who are battling along side with us. Stay safe and keep your stick on the ice.❤
Update: the fire near my home is nearly 100% contained! Smoke is now minimal. We just have extreme heat happening. I continue to thank all international and local firefighting agencies who are tirelessly fighting on all fronts!!
You must be relieved. I hope the fire near your home is fully contained or extinguished. Sending support from Ontario.
@@wholeshebang1 thank you! Today the air quality is much better. Yesterday I was able to sit outside for 30 minutes. Yay! Officials say we have 30 more days of firefighting to go so it's all hands on deck
No, thank you, and to everyone helping us fight the red devil. Half my family lost everything to the flames, left homeless….I flew them to my home here in Toronto….to look in their eyes is more then you could handle. They’re broken, terrified, hopeless, but I thank god their all alive and safe…most don’t know there’s hundreds of thousands of people scattered in thousands of small communities all over the northern provinces and territories (many of them native communities, already facing challenges). Not a day goes by I don’t find tears streaming down my cheeks watching the country I love burn to cinders, countless thousands now homeless refugees with nothing and nowhere to go. It’s just devastating 😰😰😰😰😰😰
Thanyou for covering and explaining the fires in Canada.❤
Thanks America ❤🇺🇸🇨🇦
Thank you to all fire fighters helping us Canadians we sure appreciate at it very much. People are losing everything they have ever worked for burned away.
Thank you guys for helping those in need 🍁❤️
It’s a pretty strange how they don’t say they’re man-made, but they’re going to blame it on climate control😂😂😂😂
Exactly ..
When we see all the fires on the map it sure opens your eyes. My thanks to all the firefighters out there in the centre of it all. If we didn't have you and the support staff, it could be a total loss. Stay Safe
Thing is there's a lot of wildfires south of the border in the states as well, they just didn't show it on that map....
They ignite these fires on purpose and blame it on climate change.Same in Turkey,same in hawaii.
The truth is, smoke harms lungs. I lived on Maui before these recent fires, and the 'Vog' or volcanic smog from the Big Island had me wheezing practically all the time. And it did some permanent damage to my lungs.
Yup more people 🥀 from lung cancer than breast cancer yet, it's ignored as far as funding.
It's only permanent if you believe it, otherwise it didn't happen. I'm in the okanagan, and we're getting hammered by fire and smoke right now, just like many times before. None of it has ever left a mark on me, health wise or otherwise, you're only hurting yourself by believing in the hurt.
Come to savannah ga where everyone is smoking pot and driving their dodge chargers around like monkeys
@@somguy728 'Vog' has microscopic shards of glass in it. It's different from regular brush and forest fires.
Lmao at American journalists always trying to make everything “depressed” and _desperately_ pushing toward said narrative.. focus on how depressing _your own country is…_ “brb we’re just tryna stop our country from burning down”
Dude says Canada is not overwhelmed but we are challenged. What a stupid thing to say. As a canadian, we are overwhelmed. We have hundreds of fires, are asking for international aid and we aren’t overwhelmed??
Just lite up a doobie buttercup, it will be fine.
THANK YOU, Quantum. What's happening is terrifying, and that's one flavor of being overwhelmed. But I thikn you are talking of the more practical aspects. Well, not surprised by his politicizing - after all, he's the 'guy in charge' and has to sound like 'hey, we're on top of things.' Yeah, right. Aint enough firefighters in both hemispheres to solve this problem.
This TV station should be commended for reporting on our country of Canada and it's fire situation. To see what is happening and give American people a sense of what we are doing to suppress the problem.
I live in alberta never seen anything like this the fires burn deep in the ground and dried out swamp land then pop up in different locations only winter or cold weather will end it for this year
To be fair, the smoke is coming up to Canada from California and Oregon to British Columbia and last summer was a nightmare in Alberta because of fires from the US. Get over yourselves! 🇨🇦
Bc. Kelowna got awful burned
I am so dad to see all these fires and forest destruction in my country! People and animals and birds driven out of their homes. Firefighters risking and losing their lives.

In my part of Alberta we hit 111° with a 131° heat index on one day during a heatwave in the 100’s back in July. Last time we got that hot and hotter was in 2021. However while we been above average from May to the beginning of August, we are now facing below average temps for this time of year with lots of storms for the next week or two with temps in the mid to high 80’s and very low 90’s our average high is 93° and average low is 73° for this time of year. As the last week of august the nights start to become not so hot and humid and the days become less humid and more dry. By September it becomes desert air dry usually as the gulf moisture starts to retreat south and east. By mid September our average high sits around 84° with an average low of 58°. By October it is usually around 75° for a high and a low in the high 40’s. By Halloween it is usually 55° during the day and 35° by next morning. Though we have hit 80° on halloween once or twice.
An average of 275oC is necessary to IGNITE wood. I can only imagine how much CLIMATE CHANGE / GLOBAL "WARNING" is necessary to SPONTANEOUSLY set FORESTS ON FIRE.
Obviously lieing, I'm a real Albertan, and our education system has never Included Farenheit, your not a real albertan
Someone who can't grasp celsius temps. Dumb😂😂
Canada uses the metric system, try to catch up.

Thank you for quickly helping us Canadians with these fires. It's usually us helping US with the hurricanes. It shows what good neighbours we are. Always helping each other when in need. Thank you for being our neighbours.

Someone is setting those fires. Too many fires at once to be caused by anomalies.
Lightning and human caused. Also forests all across the country are tinder dry which is why they are burning so easily and intensely.
A great summary of Canadas wildfire challenges
The smoke from the forests burning is not the only danger to lungs. When entire neighborhoods of homes burn to the ground; there are toxic chemicals released from building materials and house contents.
I feel bad for the wildlife😢
I live in Alberta, this is the mildest summer temps, weve had in years, not even close to the heat we had in 2020, 2021 and 2022...
I saw Drones, dropping balls, then the areas, started on fire...
I looked into it, Transport Canada, purchased 100 Fire Ball dropping drones, and trained chinese in Red Deer, at the old Military Base, to operate them.
Buy and Sell.GC, has the Contracts listed
What?
you conspiracy theorists are truly nuts. do you even hear youself? drone firefalls, space lasers....cmon now.
Drones are not starting fires, by dropping balls. You know how much trees sell for right? To pay someone to put out a fire and also burn all the wood makes zero sense just like your dumb ass comment.
We are in the times of deception. First you have to be deceived to understand what it is.. sad but true. Hidden war works really well...
Omg you can’t be serious. We’ve pretty much had hot Summer weather since the end of April here in BC, which is why the forest is so dry and flammable. Stop with the nonsensical conspiracies.
I honestly think they should be checking for Chem Trails in the soil and water. It was reported by a couple of US army personnel that Chem Trails have been found to contain 25 times the amount of aluminum and barium that is considered safe. Perfect accelerant which would explain the speed at which the fires have spread and intensity of the co called “wildfires “.
EXACTLY
Stop 🤦♂️

Are you going to tell me that all thos fires (85%-90%) started by human error. Even those in the middle of the nowhere??
No one is saying that it's all due to human cause climate change. But the science and statistics consistently show that we contribute sig'ly to making it worse than it would have been. More and bigger fires. And of course things like acidification of the oceans, plasticizing of water and air, etc etc etc that is without any doubt the result of our actions.
No,.....clearly not,...a helluva lot of this fire is lightning strikes,..other causes are always there, but, in these remote regions, lightning is the usual catalyst,...You raise a great point,...thanks for being open minded, which so many aren't when this kind of thing takes off,..
We need a lot more logging to much brush
ALL THIS FOR THE SMART CITIES!CANT GO OFF GRID, BUSH SURVEILLANCE!
You have hit the nail on the head. They don't care about the environment or animal habitats or even people's lives, only total control.
On Canadian Chanels no such detailed info on these devastated fires. Meanwhile our PM is having fun with his playmate. Most of the fires are man made!
forest gump needs to be fired
It’s scary being a part of a fire we had six around our little town thank goodness they got control of five of them but there’s always the risk of thunderstorms hitting us again as I witnessed lightning hitting in our street alone thank goodness it didn’t start a fire because this is the worst drought we’ve ever gone through my wall is dry because it’s so dry here I’ve had to truck in water so we could have showers and clean our dishes or sweeping messed up for sure thank goodness when we bought this house we bought a 1500 gallon water tank that’s only thing that saved us I’m hoping they get a hold of these fires because there’s really nowhere to go there’s fires down the highway up the highway no matter which way you go there’s fires and I’m disabled and we don’t have a vehicle to escape with it even if you can escape where do you go there’s nowhere to go!!!!!
We dont even have 500 fire fighting planes fyi, controlling means letting them burn out.

But why ?
The people of the not so distant future don’t worry about these kind of fires no more because everything has been consumed by fire and can’t burn/recover no more-well done y’all,well done ✌️
Because our joke of a leader fired the martin mars water bomber.
planes? Where are the equipment to deal with natural disasters? We are talking about the best country in the world, and now it turns out that it is the weakest country
Prayers to the people affected by this ♥
Prayers do nothing obviously take a look around.
Who's starting the fires?
It's obviously the Kremlin I mean Alaska is very close to Russia so it's pretty easy for them to border hop and the commies set everything on fire in preparation for warfare with Canada in the near future.
The government
Justin Trudeau

Duh. lol that’s a question much like “how deep is the river “
Truly intellectual comment
Fires started WEF caught on Satellite. Several people arrested.
British Columbia, currently grappling with the gravest threat to lives and property from fires, should not be overlooked😭
Canadian here. I wanna say this. Our snow removal services during the winter is next level. Our cities roads and sidewalks are completely clear of snow during this time and the programs are probably the best in the world. Now, if we can prepare for fire season like we can for winter season then we can prevent this. More of our resources must go into fire prevention, rather than fire fighting. Unfortunately, our incompetent prime minister has barely even acknowledged these fires and continues to waste our tax dollars towards useless things. We have to be proactive, not reactive!
Hello ,sleeping canadians Your prime minister is smart and following agenda /plan Go educate about WEF and great reset

where is that ?
@maxsmith695 it's not a place per' sey. Geologically speaking. Look the word up for more information . If it catches fire , it would burn underground for years and years, and we might not be aware of it. It's usually in the bush /wetland. And release of carbon. I think I'm mixing it up with another word related to muskeg. Maybe not!! I'll have to check my memory again!

Not entirely true And you don’t understand, even if it is arson it is still a wildfire
Wow, feel sorry for Canadian... Nothing to say but God mercy be with you and ur country 🙏
Good report. Never heard of fires in Canada before. The reporting from European fires has generated news of American continent focus on forest fires. Devastating for mankind.

I think some organization is starting the fires. Canada had the same if not hotter temperatures last year and there was no where near the fires as this year.

This is the first time in my life I’ve seen an American news company genuinely interested in Canada without some sort of political slant bullshit.
Very sad, BUT, Not saying this is true, BUT SOMETHING to consider and if you say it’s not a possibility..I’d like to understand why you think not.. Canadian government is in bed with world economic forum ..BIG BUSINESS, INVOLVED IN so many things. Now if you don’t understand what a direct energy weapon is ..time to learn ..these war machines , why wouldn’t they turn it loose ..for who knows what god forgiven reason.
Two million acres burned is almost as big as Yellowstone NP.
GOod point - i know a million acres is a hella big piece of land (like the King Ranch in Texas).
BUT... apparently in this whole year, about 50000 sq miles have burnt - an area the size of Greece, acc. to one source. I picture it as a square 700 miles on a side.
Unbelievable. And almost no one commenting here even mentions human caused climate change. I despair.
Respect for the fire fighters

Revelation 16:8-21
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Perimeters - your faith does nothing to support the people and animals being scorched by human caused climate change. In the end, it's monumentally selfish.
Maybe you should learn to help fight the fire .
Maybe NATO should be deploying to fight fires. This is a war on nature's ability to destroy so much when things are now this out of control so the nations of NATO should be recruiting forces to fight against nature's ability to destroy, Flood, Fire and serious storm damages. All nato should have a subdivision to assist in the the tackling of natural disasters and the support of evacuations and rescue beyond that of the emergency services that are been overwhelmed in these times.
That's actually not a bad idea💡
Right, get the evil 3, and 4, letter agencies and organizations involved. It’s always good to bring your enemy in, to help.
And again an appeal to our ability to 'fight' the fires, here with agents of war and weaponization, instead of addressing the root of the problem - human-caused climate change. HARDLY ANYONE IN THIS WHOLE COMMENT STREAM EVEN MENTIONS IT! WE GOTTA STOP BEING OSTRICHES. ALL THE FIREFIGHTING HELP, HOSES FROM THE OCEAN, AND NATO INTERVENTIONS IN THE WORLD CANNOT STOP THOUSANDS OF FIRES.

Canada has 895,000,000 acres of forest, lacking perspective, none of which may be spared for housing. There are some who are self-serving, ignoring the greater good of citizens that passionately resent the use of land that was not promised to this nation and whose ulterior motive in seeking public office is to curb this practice. The larger the amount of land that is required, the more that it is placed beyond reach by declaring it “protected” in order to prevent expansion commensurate with the needs of a growing population. Forested land may not be disturbed no matter how much of a fire hazard it presents to neighbouring habitations.
A town should not embrace pine, spruce and fir trees to an extent that they form a grove adjoining forest. When coniferous trees, aka turpentine bombs, are permitted to establish themselves within a town nature takes its usual course and consumes them with fire. Aspen, birch, alder and cottonwood take the place of pine on soil cleansed by fire and fertilized with ashes. Mature trees should not be left standing and should all be cleared out and replaced with saplings when land is developed and homes are built. New buildings. New lives. Growing older together.
The detrimental effect of placing a halt on the use of land includes homes consumed by fire, home prices skyrocketing beyond reach, rents that exceed incomes, a growing financial gulf between property owners and the remainder measured in millions, desperation and homelessness.
Before persons are admitted to public office, whether elected or employed at any level, they should be placed under oath and required to swear to their response: _Is your ulterior motive in becoming a public servant to place a halt on the use of the land resource? That was not promised to Canadians? That will cause home prices to skyrocket and shunt the lifetime earnings of citizens exacted through rent directly into the pockets of the chosen few and leave residents homeless?_
May be if we pay more in carbon taxes and keep immigration at record highs this will help climate change.
Lol crymate change, you funny.
Man made
Nature dont like our lifestile.

I'm also Canadian and we haven't had this kind of reporting from our many of our "news" sources. This is shocking, both the fires and the lack of reporting in my own country. And these fires started before spring did which only shows just how badly climate change and global boiling has affected Canada. Yet, our right wing party, the Conservatives, are still controlling access to information and downplaying these effects. In fact, the largely Conservative (read Republican) provinces are changing the education system to reflect that! There are many of us in Canada who are struggling to be heard and to have action taken so that this climate emergency doesn't have to reach the worst outcomes. So, thank you for having balanced journalism!
My god, FINALLY, Baxter - someone actually mentioned the role of human activity in CAUSING the fire horror around the world. I don't understand where peoples' heads are at here. Anyways, it's sad to see that even in 'progressive' Canada the force of big capital and reactionary politics is strong - in censoring the news and stonewalling change. What do you think of the Liberal Party, with what seems to be their nice sounding words but pro-fossil fuel actions?
lies.
Poor sleepy canadian soul. Go to agenda 2030 and great reset to educate who is doing climate change and global boiling
OMG! The level of ignorance is amazing. I feel sorry for you.@@robertreed2168
WCCO - CBS Minnesota... Where Canadians get their up to date news from!
Need to turn to the Lord in prayer
I'm worried about O2!
