In BC over the last three years between 32% and 59% of wildfires were human caused. Source: government statistics.

Just tax everyone more. That works, right?

[belladaniels]

There hasn't been a lot of rain but it hasn't been that hot or wendy for all these forest fires to have broken out. 414 fires so far, smh? Somebody is starting some of these fires on purpose allegedly.

Tiananmen Trudeau must be fully investigated.

[jubjub]

The budget will balance itself, we just need more taxes to balance it.

[korky]

Please raise the carbon tax so these wild fires will stop.

[tirzolantiwen]

[jlang]

Don't forget the double carbon tax and bank rates going up up up.

[mikebrisebois]

I’ve read that your equity and inclusion laws caused many of these fires. I also believe many are arson

[grandmufftwerkin]

Don't light amatch near Bill Blair.

[Fuzzy-_-Logic]

How about next year or the year after that? Should we chop down all the trees in Canada? Burn it all for generator fuel and call it a green solution? Seems like an industrial solution to me. ;-)

[miriamkling]

Oh my! Please help the authorities to fight the fires.

[donaldlococo]

Who pays the carbon tax on the forest fires? I wouldn't be surprised if Justin sent the bears the bill.
