I realize that its dry and the remoteness up their makes it difficult to put out their wildfires. But the fact that Trudeau made comments saying they would like to implement climate change lockdowns like they did for Covid makes it hard to think that they aren't just letting stuff burn to justify their communist tendencies. So they can say "See climate change is so bad we have all these uncontrollable fires so we need to do something". Newsome tried to pull the same crap in California.
Except they have always had a history of not putting much effort into firefighting unless it's threatening homes and lives. Some like to think this is about recent politics (like, I don't know...last 200 years). Plain and simple, it's very expensive to fight fires in the middle of nowhere.
Canada has what...some 37 million people compared to 330 million Americans? That's about nine times the population, economy, and taxing (you know, the people that pay the bills for firefighting) in the U.S. compared to Canada. I can only imagine the comments on the "firefighting" increase in one's overall taxes. It would be damn expensive up in Canada, per person, taxpayer, or however one would like to look at it.
