#Saskatchewan is failing at firefighting support and with evacuees. A hotel shortage is making life of an evacuee a lot tougher.

"Arcand said money is becoming an issue for many evacuees.
"If you're in a hotel, if that hotel has food service you may very likely be getting meals. If you're not at a hotel or an evacuation centre, hey, you are on your own dime so you gotta figure it out," she said."

Wildfires are currently devastating parts of Canada — so far, 15,000 people have been evacuated from Saskatchewan and 17,000 from Manitoba. @cbcnews reports on how remote communities in the north of the country particularly struggle during this season, as a result of factors like access to water and personnel and the cost of transporting firefighting equipment. Forestry expert Cliff Buettner also shares some tips on how to stop a fire from spreading. At the second link, find a map showing the areas where fires are currently burning.

Hazy orange sun this morning, and the notes of ozone in the air.

#AQI in Toronto still good today, but a good cue to change the furnace filter and find the N95's. #PM2.5 around 10 outdoors.

My thoughts with Canadians in #Manitoba and #Saskatchewan dealing with the real problems of these #forestfires.

La Ronge, Air Ronge and ᒥᐢᑕᐦᐃ ᓵᑲᐦᐃᑲᓂᕽ (Lac La Ronge Indian Band) are the some of the communities in Saskatchewan that were order evacuated because of wildfires, these ones today.

""Within the broader context of national interest … decarbonized barrels [of oil], working alongside forms of decarbonization — that is absolutely in our interest," Carney said.

WTF does that even mean!!??

On the one hand he gets to appease #Alberta and #Saskatchewan by not rejecting pipeline flat out.

On the other hand the "decarbonized barrels" are complete bullshit and impossible to achieve. Thereby preempting any possibility of new pipeline to tide water.

BC is also still traumatized from the last two pipelines being rammed up our backside. Doubt that another one is on the cards any time soon.

Des communautés dans le nord de la Saskatchewan doivent évacuer « immédiatement »

Families are being displaced, homes destroyed, and lives put at risk—yet federal support remains delayed or inadequate. No community should ever be left behind in a climate catastrophe. Rural and First Nation communities deserve immediate action and lasting investment.

I’m very glad to hear some US states are still sending help to battle the wildfires in Canada.

“Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said firefighters, emergency crews and aircraft from other provinces and U.S. states, including Alaska, Oregon and Arizona, were being sent to help fight the blazes.”
