Thank you Wayne. Unless something has changed yesterday there are 2,000 inhabitants of Mathias Colomb FN still stranded. There are only two ways out of the area. Either by rail or by air.. The rail has stopped for obvious reasons. To much smoke has made it impossible to get in by helicopter. I pray that has changed.
None of us expected these fires to begin over a month ahead of usual but the size is immense too. No comparison but the government issued air quality advisories until Thursday. At which point they will more than likely advise the same for the upcoming week.
Facilities like xAI are accelerating climate change. The heat alone from this facility will scorch the earth. It's more than probable it will create a dirty 30's like crisis. Unbenounced to authorities xAI is using over 30 propane run massive industrial cooling systems as well as two electrical substations.
Sending rockets up into space just for kicks have massive impacts.
It’s terrifying. In 2022 Ontario had a very destructive derecho wind, and in 2023 we had wildfires. I did not have to evacuate but the smoke covered the sun for days. It had a post-apocalypse feel. I really hope PM Carney can consider this when he is developing plans for Canada to become an economic powerhouse.
In 2023 we had some devastating forest fires here in Nova Scotia, also in May. It had been the driest April in years. And then had some disastrous floods in July! Extremes are becoming the norm. I was looking at the sky around sunset tonight as it had cleared off after some cloudy days this weekend and noticed a kind of flat yellow tinge, and realized we are probably getting some smoke now from out west. The fire smoke map says we'll be getting more in the next couple of days. Take care everyone.
You've avoided it, but money is the cause and the solution for this crisis. People who benefit from the burning of fossil fuels are responsible. They consist of nearly every human on earth and Canada in the top decile.
Whoever you are, once you are forced into refugee status, your expenses skyrocket. Prepared meals at restaurants or Red Cross buffet are going to run over $60 per person per day, accommodation the same, snacks,personal need,personaltransportation,personalservices,phone+WiFi,clothing
$170 to $200 per person per day on the low down. Lost productivity and personal income gone. (Unless your "management" where your income from a contract with owners so your $1000 per day remains untouched.)
17,000 x 200 is 3,400,000 per day for basic survival, 34 million per month.
Did the carbon tax cover that?
Imo.
Public costs for all government work and gure fighting will be more on a per person basisq

My prayers are with you all. Canadian firefighters have helped California in terrible times. May the US come to the aid of our neighbors in need.

This is horrible!
Truly awful. Friends in mid-state Illinois say their air is quite smoke-filled.
