  1. And whats next?
    Maybe a hurricane

  2. Man made virus, Weather, Earthquake, Flood, chemical spills, Oil spills, Fires. Sooner or later a company or organization will stick their head out of the hole and say. They want to handle all the Disaster to get power from the governments. And they will be the organization or company causing all these man made Disaster. Any countries they give them organization the power to handle all disaster around the work they in on it to. Like W.H.O agenda Look them up on YouTube for their agenda for the world.

  3. What's up with these stupid fires???

  4. Wildfires happen every year. Swales can be dug near residential areas through government employment schemes. Goat farmers can circulate herds through those areas to remove brush. Use tried and true common sense rotational systems that have existed for millennia like herding ducks for locusts.

  5. Another mostly Blm gathering?

  6. Global warming has accelerated the fire cycle. During wet times the growing season is longer, allowing fuel to accumulate faster. When drought or even drier weather patterns prevail, the fuel dries out faster. This is not just a Canadian problem, it is happening globally.

  7. SABOTAGE
    AGAIN
    DUMMIES !!!

  8. Pushing the insects in 25 minutes cities

  9. liberal Democrat channels pushing global warming. People have been caught lighting fires on purpose. Pushing the agenda.

  10. How coincidental all these fire starting. Almost like if someone was pushing global warming.

  11. This is what happens when you indiscriminately let in the entire third world. These fires were acts of terrorism.

  12. Sending love to our Canadian cousins, stay safe all! πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώβ€πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

  13. Ok guys get ready!! First burned everything we owned and loved! evacuate to the torture and uncertainty! staying here and there! suffer! Then.. welcome to your new smart cities πŸ‘ thank you Go ver ne ment!!!

  14. The media has found their new scare tactic!

  15. Nature cleansing itself should not be a shock. The very people that argue to protect nature cannot help , but go live within it & cry when it bites back. These fires are necessary to remove the yearly risk & to revigorate the forest!

  16. Funny how no one made a freeze bomb explosion of some sort cluster bomb style that when the chemicals mix it will cause a sun zero temp and a radius of like 300’. I mean if we can great a atomic bomb why cant we make like a freeze bomb style etc freezes happen al the time and trees grow back..

  17. Has there been a call for international fire fighters? I wish planes were sent to help πŸ˜”πŸ™πŸ»

  18. Thanks Lord for your peace
    Psalm 91

  19. We don't need META and it's properties to provide us with news. We have excellent news broadcasters. META chose to not pay them, so we can all collectively choose to NOT use facebook and instagram

  20. Plans need to be made to reduce excessive fuel on the forest floor. These forests have too much fuel as a result of decades of policy of fire suppression. No low level fires equals a recipe for disaster.
