Just sent this email to all my local elected reps, municipal, First Nations, provincial MLA and federal MP.

Dear Local Leadership,

A short message as I know you are all very busy with the fire on top of normal duties.

The world, including our ancient forests and bustling towns need all of you to become climate campaigners or the inevitable day will come when it all burns.

The “explosive” and “unprecedented” nature of this fire was preventable had world leaders followed their own commitments in the 1990s and reduced fossil fuel use to zero as quickly as possible. Fossil fuel production continues to rise in Canada. It must stop. You must advocate for and implement policy to achieve this. It is your duty as representatives concerned for both the present and future inhabitants of this land.

I deeply hope this fire shows there can be no equivocation. We must end the use of fossil fuels and every level of government must pursue that goal with every possible measure.

I found this ten year old sign in my backyard as I was cleaning up to prepare our home for possible evacuation.

Thank you for your service, and stay safe.

Cheers
Chris

You might remember that this spring, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith headlined a fundraiser with Ben Shapiro in support of this PragerU organization.

I develop national and international standards for Canada, but the Standards Council of Canada plans to cut committee funding by 2/3—from $1.4M to $500K—hurting over 400 committees. This endangers Canada's global influence on vital standards, standards that our economy and trade rely on.

Let's talk about what is “unprecedented”.

Coastal Fire Centre:
"I don't think I've seen a fire like this on Vancouver Island," Caranci said.”

Comment:
In 2015 after the major (18 month) drought and 2014/15 Pacific “blob” (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blob) and subsequent massive 2015 BC fire season, there was a fire in Squamish (on the mainland) which is in the Coastal Fire Centre.

I was City councillor in Port Alberni at the time and at that year's UBCM conference for all municipal officials in the fall, after the fire season, we received a presentation from BC Wildfire on a Squamish "Elaho” fire. (2015 not 2024). It was over 15,000 hectares before it was finally contained.

The same words were used “Explosive Growth”.

According to the BC Wildfire service at that time, it was the first time they had seen Rank 4 and Rank 5 fire behaviour anywhere in the Coastal Fire Centre. It was unprecedented.

This was the 'new normal' of human-caused climate change.

Only the drought conditions and extreme heat could have caused the temperate rain forests of Coastal BC to exhibit this behaviour.

Now this ‘unprecedented' behaviour is in the temperate coastal rain forests of Vancouver Island. This is, and was, predictable.

This is climate change. The “new normal” is Change.

It is getting worse because *our* CO2/GHG emissions continue to rise.

The only way to stop this changing normal is to end the use of fossil fuels and stop the emissions of greenhouse gases immediately.

CBC'Explosive' wildfire growth near Port Alberni, B.C., unusual for Vancouver Island: wildfire service | CBC NewsMore than 500 B.C. Hydro customers remain without power Wednesday, as "unprecedented" dry conditions, strong winds, hot weather and steep, rugged terrain continue to fuel the growing Mount Underwood fire.

“Canada is committed to doing more to prevent and control devastating wildfires, federal officials said Tuesday as the resulting smoke sparks formal complaints and calls for action from U.S. lawmakers.”

Feck that noise. If those US lawmakers want action taken by Canada to reduce wildfires they should be taking action to reduce American CO₂ emissions.

Happening now! WOW what an incredible show of solidarity with flight attendants fighting for a fair deal at YVR and across the country. I stand shoulder to shoulder with them and call on the Liberal Government to fix the labour code and end unpaid work. It’s about #Values. It’s time to show support vs just talk about it. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #politics

Trump is deploying 1000 National Guard to DC today.

This is a coup d'é·tat America has never seen before. Hitler would be genuinely jealous.

What we knew of America is no longer. Do NOT travel there. Do not do business there.

America is under an authoritarian regime.

🇨🇦 🙄 Please, would someone explain to this selfish, narrow-minded, settler OneBC Leader Dallas Brodie, that racism against settlers is not a valid argument! The folk holding all the power complaining about racism! Really?! Who is the racist here?

"..Brodie says private property rights are fundamental to “human flourishing” adding the decision threatens the future of B.C. by establishing what her party calls a “racist, two-tiered constitutional framework that divides Indigenous and other Canadians.”
