I remember when I was much younger in the mid 80’s it was very hot an dry many summers especially during the dog days of summer! Never ever where there Fires like this anywhere!!!!! Fires in California,fires in Hawaii,now fires in Canada really a place known for lush GREEN FORESTS . When will people start to think that something else is at play here 100 years of fires in one night? That statement alone should catch your attention . If this was normal activity it wouldn’t be just happening in so many different places.

[@glennpley9279]

I've been involved in forest fire fighting my entire adult life. This is an initial attack problem. Forestry companies, BC Forestry included are not in the business of putting fires out, they want to 'manage' them. This means grounds crews until it gets too big then helicopters until they can't handle it, then airplanes to 'contain' the fire with fire lines of retardant. If you just send the airplanes with water while the fire is small (and they can), it is far cheaper and effective. But, that's not managing is it.

[@LoneWolf-hv9xh]

Your comment is one of the best comments you have answered my question about why the fires are spreading and not being put out

[@sweetpeasandyarrowaranchdi8327]

In 2020 our Oregon governor did not want to put out a wildfire on National forest land, against fire fighter wishes. It burned for months. Then we had a freak wind storm and it blew up, taking out a whole town and causing people to run barefoot in the middle of the night to try and get into water. Many died. That governor was an enviromentalist and we have had many before, that shutdown any kind of forest management.

[@claudiadickerman4218]

I am feeling very weird at this moment because after watching Maui fires from the start to the destruction and loss of property and lives, intermixed with those scenes have been clips of the "officials" there in Maui, and others coming in from government agencies and I swear if you listen to these posts about Canada, the mayors, the fire chiefs, the news people AND the people on the ground who are saying things, you could have written transcripts from Maui and compare with written transcripts from Canada and they are using the exact words (the officials) and so it is true that the PEOPLE are saying the same exact things about the shoddy responses and handling of of it all. Not a conspiracy person generally, but I have to say that I am finding it very weird the number of similarities with this and with Maui. Makes one wonder if all this is a conspiracy to lower populations, take away land and blame these fires on climate change in order to push the WEF'S agenda overall. Weird and very scary and again, I have been watching these things for HOURS and HOURS as I am retired and have the time to pay attention. Something just isn't feeling right, I guess we will find out down the line. I pray no people are lost in this Canada location .

But we are a little handcuffed and enslaved by a system we didn't choose that we were born into that is structurally unsustainable. Will we open up to the truth and organize ourselves together to change our future for the better? The monetary-market system is economically, environmentally and socially unsustainable. Period. Path of self-destruction is staying on this course without significant structural change. Our future looks bleak because we aren't on a healthy path. We do have trailblazers and game changers who have shown us a new path we can take, and started opening that new path up for us to join. But we need a critical mass of us to join that path for it to make a difference, for ourselves and for our children and grandchildren. It's Matrix time: Red Pill yourself: Zeitgeist: Addendum and Moving Forward by Peter Joseph / Ubuntu Contributionism and One Small Town initiative / Moneyless Society Blue Pill status quo: Believe that the monetary-market system is the only system we humans can possibly live in and keep a closed mind.

All July I've watched planes go by overhead here in Summerland spraying out their load of chemicals. I took photos and video. It was every day. If they were "cloud-seeding" we didn't get any more rain than usual. It occurs to me, however, that if they were spraying aluminium oxide in powder or aerosolized form (whether as part of cloud-seeding geo-engineering or some other moronic thing they shouldn't be doing without public consultation)... IF they were spraying aluminium oxide in powder or aerosolized form... well, it seems that this material can work as an accelerant... If the past three years have taught us anything, it is that there are a lot of incompetent people in BC government as in our federal government (just look at Chrystia Freeland's WEF party, and the gonzo they have reading speeches)... incompetent people who don't care what their constituents try to tell them and who absolutely refuse to listen to, meet, or correspond with the people they are meant to represent... add to this, there's certainly an enormous amount of money to be made if the corporate lobbied/directed federal government can get all the provinces to sign on with the immeasurably foolish climate agenda green initiatives--so many cunningly crafted projects that will siphon still more tax payer dollars out of the public purse. We've seen the rapid minting of dozens upon dozens of new pharma billionaires... the climate-crisis promises yet more opportunities for exploitation. Or, maybe these wildfires are all just perfectly natural. Seems like the idea that non-stop chemical spraying would have absolutely no effect upon the flammability of our forests... seems like that might be the wildest theory out there... but maybe these fires and attention they are receiving in the media (the same media that has entirely failed to cover injuries from the recent "safe and effective" treatments, after having failed to cover the lack of informed consent, and the discriminatory abuse of those who exercised their right to refuse unwanted medical interventions) maybe all the alarmism has nothing at all to do with making everyone believe there is truly a climate crisis that can only be addressed by corporate profiteering.

[@sherryripplinger7905]

You are 100% right. Mentioned the same to a number of people about the chemtrails. Got a look incredible ignorance.the ultimate plan seems to be to let our forest inventory burn. Climate change ( farce) chem trail ( aluminum oxide ,criminal) now the plan, by Forestry, is to let it burn, destroying the economy of our province. The annual allowable cut has shrunk the economy of our province to a minimum,yet when a fire starts forestry sits on their hands till its unmamagable. Most of these fires could have been put out within hours of their beginning, but because of our forest practices can’t be got to ( no roads) because of deactivation practices.

Weather modification is the act of intentionally manipulating or altering the weather. The most common form of weather modification is cloud seeding, which increases rain or snow, usually for the purpose of increasing the local water supply.[1] Weather modification can also have the goal of preventing damaging weather, such as hail or hurricanes, from occurring; or of provoking damaging weather against the enemy, as a tactic of military or economic warfare like Operation Popeye, where clouds were seeded to prolong the monsoon in Vietnam. Weather modification in warfare has been banned by the United Nations under the Environmental Modification Convention.

I'm just north of the WA/ID border and there's a fire up the mountain from me and there's no updates on our fire app.Its absolutely anxiety inducing and I hope we get some rain soon.I can't wait for winter.Hope it doesn't get worse for our neighbors to the south as well.❤

I live in the eastern part of the state. It wasn't windy here but it was 104 degrees today.

The WEF criminals want everyone to think that having every part of your country on fire is normal, and caused by a climate crisis. Stupid people will accept this rational. Hopefully, the smart people will help you understand that these fires are being intentionally set, by DEWs, from above... by the same people who are pushing the climate agenda (and our govt puppets who are controlled by the aforementioned).

When Achan broke d covenant secretly, Israel kept meeting with defeat, disasters and death until Joshua (AUTHORITY /Govt) corrected it. Only then was Israel able to enter d promised land of abundance, peace and rest - also see Hebrews 4. Americans in Houston sent 4 kkk to brutalise, terrorise and made 9 attempts to kill me secretly after hearsts 18 wheeler flew over d Road to hit my car. Hospitalised unconcious with broken face, chest and leg, hearsts men and insurance men came to disturb me and behaved aggressively prompting Dr Parameswara to tell me tt I wld be killed after my discharge from d hospital. They sent 4, kkk to terrorise, brutalise and broke my face and chest again altho they failed to kill me. They then changed their tactics to get me killed by the authorities as in d story of Patty Hearst. At d Harris County Court, they used a black giant gestapo constable to strangle and tried breaking my neck and carried me into jail. Judge Alex Green released me but instructed d jubilant staff to frame 3 false charges and locked me up in the prison. Another court returned d verdict tt it was my fault tt hearsts 18 wheeler flew over d Road to hit my car and thus, I was not entitled to claim insurance. I had to be medically retired from my job as a prison officer and lay pastor. God was very angry and sent Dr Wayne Clark from S California to pray for me and a stream of the Fire of God flowed into me. God added d fire to d golden censer (me) and OVERTURNED it on d earth as in Rev 8. God fave je a vision somewhat similar to Ez 9 and gifted me with the 6 weapons /angels /plagues : wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution of the release of devils causing wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911). I saw God wielding an Axe devastating man /usa and God told me to command disasters on d usa until compensation paid as his Hand will fight for me. D firsts 2 disasters I commanded up was hurricane Hugo and St Francisco EQ but for Chinatown to stand. God is love and therefore just and being d faithful one, fulfilled d prophecy of psalms 18 to make me into David to turn d usa into dust. Like David who was anointed King 3 times, I have been anointed thrice with the anointings of Called Chosen and Faithful to become a heavenly king, Army of Heaven to strike down d evil nations - monsters great red dragons committing monstrous moral distortions - Rev 17 and 19. At d age of 15 years old, Dr James Hanam, elder of brethren Church told me that God had shown him tt I was a chosen one whom God wld give his great power to me to bring great judgment on d evil nations. Around 1978, Dr Wesley Hurst, president of the AOG Church of America told me that God has chosen me and when he placed his hand atop my head, d Holy Spirit like a million volt of electricity rushed into me and I became gifted with d power gifts. Around 1980, at d St Andrews Cathedral, d Hand of God like a flame rested ON my right shoulder and 3 balls of fire came into me in the presence of Bishop Chiu who then told me tt I was a chosen one. God created nations for d sole purpose of administering justice by d nations. Evil nations which refused will be destroyed as in d case of Israel. See Habbakuk chapter one and Amos 9.

Canada conspired with usa to kidnap d CFO of Huawei and brought her down to usa. I studied in Houston and knew tt d wind/smoke wld end up in USA and texas. God in 2003, sent d angel of d Lord which woke zechariah up to wake me up at daybreak to remind me tt God has given me power over d nations to bring great disasters on evil nations. I experienced how a black giant gestapo American constable in Harris County Court brutalised and jailed me like what they did to d CFO of Huawei. Thus, it is meant to take up d cause of d CFO of Huawei. God created nations for d sole purpose of administering justice. But now, they want to be gods like Eve in Eden, doing good and bad as they wished. Adam and Eve was chased out of d garden by d Angel of Fire.

I live in Victoria BC and we have always had to suffer through a rough season of Forest Fires every year for my 50 years I've lived here.......except this year is something far worse then we have ever seen here before for amounts of fires, sizes of fires and their devastated areas and the number of emergency evacuations issued in the range of double or triple already compared to any other year since we have recorded records. Whether you are a rational person who understands this is directly consequences of human made climate change and burning fossil fuels or a person based in a fantasy reality that believes some magic deity is going to come rescue you from an unihabitable planet when it happens we are all going to suffer these consequences of our lack of any progress on limiting pollution, green house gases, recycling plastics, preserving fresh water which will render Earth hostile to human and all other oxygen breathing species. We have wasted 50 years now trying to convince the Religious half of the population we need to do something about this and we have convinced none of them to be motivated into doing anything with the rest of us to co-operate for solutions....instead they oppose regulations to fossil fuels, are climate change deniers, and in fact are motivated to avoid doing nothing if they truely believe they will be rescued then they have nothing to fear from climate change do they? Yet ironically they will be most responsible for all our lack of combating climate change as a group then any other on the Planet, and no one points this out because they will be seen as discrimination.....when it is simply stating facts no one else wants to put forth. Not saying they don't exist but I've yet to meet anyone in my life who is Religious and also advocates for dramatic changes to our way of life due to climate change by human activity
