Mark Carney: I don’t care about Climate Change, I’m building another oil pipeline to Burnaby. Canada Strong! Mother Nature: How strong exactly? Hold my beer. (A wildfire has broken out on the north side of Burrard Inlet, about 7km northeast of the Burnaby oil terminal, the terminus of the Transmountain Pipeline. It is currently 1.5ha and out of control but updates often come slowly on the web. News reports are that a few homes have been “tactically evacuated” and more evacuations may come according to Metro Vancouver government.) #bcwildfire #canpoli #cdnpoli #climateemergency #endfossilfuels #transmountain #tmx #alberta #abpoli https://wildfiresituation.nrs.gov.bc.ca/incidents?fireYear=2026&incidentNumber=V11470&source=map

RE: https://bclocal.news/@kamloops/116991024903671963 Every #BCWildfire season seems to bring out a bunch of folks who place their own needs above those of the greater community; folks who believe public resources can be appropriated to serve their own selfish interests. In #BostonBar some numpty damaged the community water system by immproperly turning on a valve to reactivate the public water system after authorities had shut it off reserve the dwindling supply for firefighting efforts. In the #Shuswap last year people were stealing firefighting equipment put in place to protect vital infrastructure (wooden bridges) presumably to repurpose it to protect their own properties. I can’t help but believe that these are the same people that railed against the public health measures put in place during the early COVID pandemic… 🤨 Meanwhile the news this morning was featuring some stay-behinds in 70 Mile (owners of the Sugar Shack), painting them as brave folks staying behind to ‘protect their community’. Stop it! If you’re told to evacuate, evacuate. Staying behind just hinders firefighting efforts and adds extra workloads on folks that are already overwhelmed trying to protect your community. You’re not heroes, you’re selfish assholes.
