It’s so "weird" that ALL Alberta is ON FIRE except the cities where they want to force you to live. Even more weird that they admit that HALF of all these fires have been started by people with 20% more "under investigation". Even more weird that the goverment added 55 million to their annual fire fighting budget for 2024 to 2026 as if they could "predict" this, and make 150 million for Big Business while using your tax dollars to make government contractors rich while burning down your home and lowering you standard of living. As for those wanting to rebuild in Jasper. Watch how many wont be able to because their insurance premiums will increase exponentially, forcing them to use that insurance money to buy a tiny condo in the newly constructed 15 min cities. All coincidences, im sure. Especially the part where the admit the majority of fires are caused by humans, not "climate change"

Ratio’d | Another AVOIDABLE catastrophe strikes Alberta at Jasper National Park
https://tnc.news/2024/07/25/ratiod-jasper-national-park-avoidable-catastrophe/
The devastating wildfires ripping through one of Canada’s and the world’s most pristine landscapes were entirely avoidable if Parks Canada appropriately managed Jasper National Park.
Many on the left will be quick to blame this wildfire on climate change, but the facts say otherwise.
Jasper was allowed to densify for years and the federal government refused to address the growing pine beetle infestation throughout the park, which kills trees and creates a tinderbox within the forest.
To me, this doesn't have the same flavor as Lahaina. All of Hawaii is a couple of dots in the middle of the ocean. Jasper is in the middle of thousands of square acres. You can build dozens of "15 Minute Cities" and still have tons of room for the deer and buffalo to roam.
Video of the destruction…hmm https://x.com/Martyupnorth_2/status/1816495661917024665

Very good comment.
