Imagine if the entire city is destroyed and you're some pipe fitter living in one of the oil camps with nowhere to buy coke neaby.

More importantly, how much longer do we Americans have to wait to hook up a pipeline to this Canadian Wildfire? Seriously you fuckers need to share.

It's somehow Rachel Notley's fault, just like everything else seems to be if you talk to the retards who spite-voted NDP into office and immediately got upset that international oil prices weren't going up the next day

This is what the home of the leader of the Wild Rose Party (basically a second Conservative Party with different colored campaign signs) looks like now

Why doesn't twitter embedding work in Chrome anymore?

Edit: Oh nevermind, I had some extension blocking it from happening somehow

Live radio feed of a call-in show about the fires. Talk radio callers are insane enough, so I'm sure somebody will say something funny soon.

Speaking of the dollar, how does having a city burn to the ground play out economically?

The actual oil sand sites are like 50km away and as far as I know haven't been affected, but I guess the city gets rebuilt which creates some jobs?

I'm Southwest of Fort Mac by 600km or so. Part of the issue is the el nino winter. There was very little snow, and then April hits and we had several +30c days.

In my city, forestry wardens are patrolling the recreational trails making sure everyone's atv's have spark inhibitors in their exhausts.

Haha you live in Red Deer

Kinda hard to think of it as a big city when you live in a city that's nearly 30 times bigger. My area is in yellow, around 80k live there and it's considered a small time suburb



The entire city is yellow
