I don’t have a better source than NatPo. If anyone’s aware of a better one, post it.
Let’s see how long the “let’s repeal the carbon tax” premiers react.
I’m sure Smith will find some way to blame trans people and/or Trudeau for the fires.
They call us LGBTQ people “flamers” after all.
I was going to make a funny fake headline about this, but I’m worried that someone out there would take it seriously and there’s already enough of that crap out there.
I’m adding #AxeTheTax to all the natural disaster posts I can find. :)
Only when people start to associate increasingly destructive ‘natural’ disasters with emissions, will they understand that carbon taxes are a big part of the solution.
Brilliant idea 💡
How about #MaxTheTax?
Nah, I want PP to own his stupid fucking slogan.
Perhaps they find a way to tax the dead, scorched trees. How dare they set themselves on fire! /s
Hanging onto a few n95 masks is apparently going to pay off.
Free advice: Order a case of furnace filters, replace them frequently to keep your indoor air quality relatively high.
You can also order HEPA filters for those furnaces that filter smoke well. And if you have enough of those filters, you can tape one to the front of a box fan for a makeshift air purifier.

well, to be fair, wildfires are never good, no one’s ever going to say “boy this wildfire season sure was great eh?”
You do kind of see that sentiment out west, yes. Not exactly the way you’re wording it, but we do make similar comments in appreciation of mild fire seasons. That’s just the way it goes when you live with wildfire every year.
When Canada gets as used to them as Australia, you will start to see that sentiment become commonplace.
If half the state doesn’t burn down, that’s a good fire season in Aus.
Well when one season the sky turns orange and no one can breath then the next season the skies are clear and blue I can get why people would say one wildfire season is better than another
Werent a bunch of the fires started by arsonists?
Many started because forest fires can survive winter by burning slowly underground through root systems. Combined with the lack of snowpack this year, the melting snow didn’t extinguish them – leading to a record number of fires earlier than ever recorded before.
A perfect time to #AxeTheTax, right?
