If you reply with: We need better forest policy. We must stop using fossil fuels. Carbon tax alone won't solve this. Blame the voters. Blame the current govts. Blame oil companies. No govt in Canada is doing enough on climate change. Jail arsonists. Yes. Sure. But all of that.

@Liv_F Be careful what you conjure, sunniest city in Canada. 💚

@SteveLloyd001 Speaking of conjuring, I forbade the use of fire (candles, matches, lighters) in K's witchcraft escapades the other night. "But ALL witchcraft needs fire!!!" "Too bad, so sad, the city is parched. Burning it down would be bad." Now I'm mean Mummy. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (They improvised. All good.)

@Liv_F Fort McMurray failed to shift the needle in Alberta, so I reckon that we will just learn to accept that cities just burn down from time to time. Ya know, a new normal.

@JonesSebastian That Fort Mac wasn't more of a wake-up call still shocks me.

@Liv_F Let's see, if we lose an entire city per year...

@RonLafleur2 And we think we have a housing crisis now...

@Liv_F Relatives of mine lost everything in Lynton... And that wasn't important enough...

@WarSmith8 I'm sorry. I don't wish personal loss by wildfire on anyone, no matter what they believe.

@Liv_F I guess Fort Mac didn't do anything huh?

@BCReality That the government of Canada could see Fort McMurray burn down, and respond by doub — tripling down and building a pipeline to help export more from the oil sands tells you everything about how far removed we are from the reality of what needs to be done.

@Liv_F Well, it won't be an Alberta city...the Fort McMurray inferno brought about little more than a collective shrug from its politicians.

@RobertaStaley The Government of Canada followed up the Fort Mac fire by building a pipeline to triple oil sands exports — the opposite of keeping it in the ground. No, you're right. What happens out west (and maybe in the north, we'll see whether Yellowknife matters), doesn't move policy.

@Liv_F Or maybe that there should be adequate buffer zones between forests and cities, and forestry management needs to become important again!

@sheilawalker73 That's an and, not an or. We need better forest management, education about fire risks during times of extreme drought, better water management, smarter housing development, more impactful climate action. There are lots of things that need to be done that aren't being done.

@Liv_F One with a disproportionate number of wealthy conservatives?

@RebelHeart529 Wasn't that Fort McMurray?

@Liv_F Kelowna is working on it!! Yellowknife and Lytton weren't enough

@felinesexy Neither were Fort McMurray or Slave Lake.

@Liv_F I don’t think there is one. This goes down the same pipe as Covid deniers. No one will agree. Nothing will be done. 10°C here we come.

@peace_oceans We'll keep trying though.
