    “residents are being directed to an interactive map”

    This seems problematic, do they not have emergency broadcasts anymore?

    I wonder if this fire season will slow down the insane immigration to BC. I mean I am certainly starting to wonder if it’s a good idea to settle down here at all.

      All I know is that despite all evidence that our world is increasingly turning into an inferno, that humans are still pro-human and will continue to want more humans. I guess we’re just going to have to reap the predictable consequences of our obsession with overpopulating ourselves.

          No, I don’t think depopulating the Earth is a fascist concept. I think murdering specific groups of people is fascist. I’m just talking about the unsustainability of the human plague.

            I am honestly in good faith attempting to argue that this way of thought is a slippery slope for other things that don’t necessarily include murdering specific groups of people and can still be considered fascist. For example, which solutions would you suggest?

            To be clear, I am not saying I disagree with you in the regard that in our current society more people means more pollution and a higher rate of environmental destruction. Your wording just seems off.

              I’m not sure what a solution is but I do think that we should encourage people to not have children, stop handing out the baby bonus, and reduce immigration. I feel these moves can provide a (non-genocidal) way to relieving the pressures of human overpopulation. For example, Japan is doing great work in reducing their population, a trend that will reduce the strain of housing and services in that country.

                If you check fertility rates you will see that people aren’t willing to have children like they used to do. And it doesn’t seem that Japan is seeing their population decreasing as a good thing.

    Either the forests are not being managed well or someone is starting these fires. If it is arson, it is some environmental terrorist likely trying to prove a point by destroying forests and communities.

        Why is everything a conspiracy? What is ironic is how many “conspiracies” during COVID came true like vaccine passports. So being called a “conspiracy theorist” is a compliment. It means I am likely onto something.
