Oil helps fire burn

I’m sure this is an unpopular opinion, But I think since Alberta loves it’s oil and gas, and is responsible for and profits off of climate change—— they shouldn’t get federal support for wildfires. You don’t get to deny your roll in this climate disaster and then cry when it burns you.

Let's just throw 400, 000 people out of work, do you have space and money to support a family living with you for free?

We sell coal to China and sell our water to Nestle for pennies so they can shove it in plastic bottles and sell it back to us. So I guess we shouldn't get help here in BC either? Learn about the province beyond Vancouver. I grew up in the Interior and there are tonnes of mines all over. Nickel, Opal, coal, silver, gold, copper, gravel quarries, etc etc. Plus look at what Canada does abroad with all of the evil mines. Many are BC based. They collapse on people in Africa and kill them. Check your head. We're all screwing up big time. That doesn't mean that random people shouldn't get help. You're basically saying this some random cashier in Alberta doesn't deserve help with fires because some other randoms works in the Tar sands? Get a grip.

Spoiler alert, at the end of the story the jungle burned down. You cannot control nature. And Alberta is connected to us and we are part of them. We are all Albertans, just as we are all Canadians. It's your own nose you wish to severe merely to spite your face. Go back to Toronto dude and naval gaze your life away.

I felt the same thing when Fort McMurray went up in flames. It’s all about consequences.

Hilarious how B.C. hillbillies like to feel superior to Alberta hillbillies.

Oil didn't set these fires. Arsonists did because "climate change" isn't working fast enough for your crazy left-wing ideologues that just want to raise carbon taxes and migrate people into all the large 15 minute lock-down cities.

I think we should stop commercial fishing and hunting for two years. There's no bloody fish left and animals are becoming extinct. No more Sports hunting find your fun somewhere else.
Let the species have a chance to replenish.
Once the fish run out what will the sushi restaurants on every second corner of Vancouver do ?

I've been laid off more times than I care to count. You pick up and move on, just like people who loose houses in those fires. I don't have a house, I have a rented 'sub-standard' apartment.
