Guilbeault and his associates are at it again

[christianest-pierre]

OM!!! Again! Suddenly 87 fires??? in 24 hours? Somebody is working overtime I guess.

[carolinecavalcante]

I'm sure that has nothing to do with arson..

it's going to be soooo weird when the federal government changes and the number of wildfires drops by a stupid number.

If only BC had started to pay the Carbon Tax sooner, they wouldn't be in this mess.

Carbon Taxes makes the weather gooder.

We live in the area we were hit by lightning stikes we actually saw the strike and the top of the mountain catch fire saw five bomers headiing there last night the smoke is so bad planes cannot fly it's been 40 c for 10 days thank you firefighters for being here stay safe

If it's hot and dry how do you get lightening? Serious question.

"Wildfires" say the "experts". I'll let you make your own judgments.

[A_very_tinly_can]

Ain't no way 82 fires appear naturally like that in just 24 hours.

ERUPTED? These aren't volcanoes. Trees dont self combust into flames, so let's get real and understand it's all arsonists/lobbyists

[RandyBertrand-ywcp]

Why hasn't the carbon tax put a stop to this yet

[jonradcowboy]

Wow crazy considering im not aloud to have a campfire

[lisalambrecht]

Could the reduction in forest management contribute? It might help if the deadfall was cleaned up, like it used to be done.

[catcollision]

[victorcamus]

[lekkerJa]
