Let’s be clear, there is a profound difference between Arson and a wildfire

❤Whatever FireFighters are paid, it’s not enough for placing their own lives at risk, and saving lives!❤

We need to publically criticize and impunitize world banking and not let them incriminate the system into poverty and theft of our assets.

[falkerjones]

I think we need to go after Donald Trump. He must be responsible for these fires

[debgroening]

That was no wild fire...looks like a direct energy weapon was used...see all the trees that are untouched, yet buildings and cars are decimated...

[cynthiarice]

Rents will be out of reach for many on fixed incomes...forcing more out onto the streets😢 we need more rent control even for private investors!

Question: - Focus on the videos and pictures. Why are the trees still standing and not burning?? On the other hand, the buildings and boats burned in the water 🤷😉💥💥‼️

So i imagine fed help will come as slow as molasses.If only Maui was Ukraine would it be very quick.

This news feels like the 'Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick' trope irl x.x

[Jefflantern]

On the apartment rentals. Need a national stricter rent control to prevent stupid rent increases & yes need more apartment buildings built & affordable ones too! 👍 👍 Enough with the high rent!!😡😡

[sandradeluca]

Though very strange fires!!! Just like in Canada 🇨🇦..

[MrTranzformer]

$1600 for a 1 bedroom apartment lol absurd prices

[loriduhaime]

These premiers should give their heads a shake they should all retire or quit and Trudeau is no different all they have to do is take the inflation down but they're too greedy they want their money and they want to see ppl on the streets cause they just don't care smh

[yebogogo]

We need controlled burning to avoid large swathes of bush becoming too dry whereupon it becomes uncontrollable. Controlled burning leads to more greenery and less dryness...at least that's what I read somewhere

[RovingCanada]

I thought the carbon tax was going to fix the wildfires

[dannyfels]

Stop burning tree's. Problem solved

[MelanatedGoddessOfLove]

This is the governments doing believe that😢

[RedRiderXXX]

Praying for Maui and Lahaina. For my friends and family. 🙏❣️

[bobwoods]

Everybody wants to move to Canada from all over the world. I can't blame them.

[NorthEastSaskFarmer]

Just for once, I’d love to see something positive in the news
