wondering where the water bombers are .
It's a lot worse in person. The smoke is terrible in lake country. I live on the lake and the helicopters stopped coming for water have not seen or heard any in 3 hours. It was every 3 to 5 minutes

So beautiful when your government sends zero airplanes to combat wildfires. This is how they explain the carbon tax! xD Send in your electric cars to combat the wildfires so they can protect the carbon foot print.
Removing animal cruelty from your plate is the single most impactful way to stop environmental devastation and global warming. Animal Agriculture is the leading driver of human induced cruelty, pandemics, climate change, poor health, deforestation, water depletion, habitat loss, species extinction and world hunger. We're literally eating ourselves to extinction. Over 80 billion land animals are killed every year and suffer incomprehensible cruelty before a horrific death to needlessly feed selfish, arrogant carnivores with no moral integrity. The vast majority of these land animals are fed field crops. These field crops include all varieties of wheat, barley, corn, oats, rye, canola, flaxseed, soybeans, dry peas, lentils, dry beans, chickpeas, mustard seed, canary seed, and sunflower seed. Just 55 percent of the world's crop calories are actually eaten directly by people. Another 36 percent is used for animal feed. 77% of the world's soy is fed to livestock for meat and dairy production, while less than 10% of soy bean crops are used for human consumption. One of the biggest drivers of deforestation is agriculture. Farmland expansion is responsible for 90 percent of deforestation around the world, including crops grown for both human and animal consumption, as well as the clearing of forests for animal grazing. On its own, animal grazing accounts for 40 percent of deforestation. According to the 2021 report "Greenhouse gas emissions from animal-based foods are twice those of plant-based foods" published in Nature Food, the livestock sector is responsible for 20% of all human-caused GHG emissions and 60% of food system GHG emissions (twice that of plant-based foods). Livestock account for 37% of human-related methane production. Methane is important because it is a much stronger greenhouse gas. In technical terms, it has a higher global warming potential (GWP). Take all animal products off your plate as they are not only unnecessary, but unhealthy as well. Let's be the generation who gives a damn. Stop abusing animals for your taste buds! Go Vegan! Buy Vegan! If you eat meat, dairy, eggs and fish, not only are you putting your taste buds before incomprehensible animal cruelty, you're killing the planet.
Fishy
Direct energy, weapons, sedition, and treason and genoside are governments have turned against the people to destroy our economy and our country to build back better under world economic forum 15 minutes cities
Where’s the water bombers?
the hill trolls might be hotboxing
Stay safe all I’m evacuating because the fire is super close I hope everybody is safe and I hope the fire is stopped it burns itself out 🤞
Congratulations
It be nice if the government would stop lighting these awful fires !
All July I've watched planes go by overhead here in Summerland
spraying out their load of chemicals.
I took photos and video. It was every day.
If they were "cloud-seeding" we didn't get any more rain than usual.
It occurs to me, however, that if they were spraying aluminium oxide in powder or aerosolized form (whether as part of cloud-seeding geo-engineering or some other moronic thing they shouldn't be doing without public consultation)…
IF they were spraying aluminium oxide in powder or aerosolized form… well, it seems that this material can work as an accelerant…
If the past three years have taught us anything, it is that there are a lot of incompetent people in BC government as in our federal government (just look at Chrystia Freeland's WEF party, and the gonzo they have reading speeches)… incompetent people who don't care what their constituents try to tell them and who absolutely refuse to listen to, meet, or correspond with the people they are meant to represent… add to this, there's certainly an enormous amount of money to be made if the corporate lobbied/directed federal government can get all the provinces to sign on with the immeasurably foolish climate agenda green initiatives–so many cunningly crafted projects that will siphon still more tax payer dollars out of the public purse. We've seen the rapid minting of dozens upon dozens of new pharma billionaires… the climate-crisis promises yet more opportunities for exploitation.
Or, maybe these wildfires are all just perfectly natural.
Seems like the idea that non-stop chemical spraying would have absolutely no effect upon the flammability of our forests… seems like that might be the wildest theory out there… but maybe these fires and attention they are receiving in the media (the same media that has entirely failed to cover injuries from the recent "safe and effective" treatments, after having failed to cover the lack of informed consent, and the discriminatory abuse of those who exercised their right to refuse unwanted medical interventions) maybe all the alarmism has nothing at all to do with making everyone believe there is truly a climate crisis that can only be addressed by corporate profiteering.
There's something very cynical with all these fires at once and it's not global warming I'm talking about.
Why forest fires are not put down in BC Canada? Why government allows them to burn? Sorry, I am confused, I am emigrant in Canada, I don't understand this mentality, why they don't fight with forest fires???
You guys see the videos of them dropping fire instead of water? Lol
aww those poor Americans tho and the smoke , what about them /s
Nothing we can do to limit the spread of fire ?
These are NOT Wild Fires. Someone set them on fire. It's not a coincidence there are so many occurring at the same time with such mild temperatures. Cooler than previous years
I hope everyone but my ex is safe
Thousands of wildfires burning meanwhile many Canadians cannot afford real wood furnitures… Why not just make some logging plans to reduce the risk.
Smokey the Bear didn't say, "Forrest fires are a normal and regular occurance" for a reason.
There are always fires in this area. They live on a lake yet they have no pumping station. Talk about stupid.
PP has done this
Interesting…I don't see one bomber plane
Turdeau gave away all this money Instead of Firefighting Aircraft for Canada. Needed the last 10 summers.
– $500,000,000 Million went to Ukraine – $30,000,000. Million to the WE scam
-multimillion-dollar loans to the Irvings, one of Canada’s wealthiest families;
– $10.5 million to a known terrorist, who bought a strip mall in Edmonton Alberta.
– $950 million for Superclusters, which are not evaluated for any type of performance criteria;
– $12 million for freezers to Loblaws – a profitable, multibillion-dollar company (net2018 earnings: $719 million)
– $40 million for Blackberry- – – – $49 million for Canada-Kuwait Petrochemical
– $20 million of a $743 million project by Maple Leaf Foods (2018 profits: $100million)
– $35 million for Nova Chemicals, announced at Davos with no results
– the $35-billion, boondoggle-in-waiting Canada Infrastructure Bank – which sees
taxpayers assuming all the risk while corporate investors make all the profit.
– $1.6 BILLION to cbc per year to control the media. liberals list of screwups is unprecedented in canadain history.
Government is burn down the town.
Hello canada
