As a nova scotian who is affected by these fires, these fires have been set by a careless person who had a backyard fire during 30km winds with 50km gusts, there was a fire ban when he decided to have his Saturday afternoon burn, and fiona did not hit the areas where these fires are, please get your geography straight, yes there are trees down, but fiona affected the north shore much more than Shelbourne or Tantallon, the biggest problem is the total disregard for the burning ban that was in place, when people have fires durring bans, there are no consequences because we dont have enough resources to enforce the law, until something drastic happens like this current situation, and now coupled with a few days of wind, and the fact that we love to build our houses and Subdivisions in the natural environment keeping the old growth between the houses, and the areas affected have no fire hydrants in the communities, the majority are on well and septic, so when fires happen we rely on the tankers to soak it down and once the tankers run dry they need to fill again, most people don't know that alot of these communities have no fire hydrants. Maby we should be investing in proper water distribution for communities instead of electric busses or maby a water bomber since we have had to rely on Newfoundland for their 2. Please pray for us, it has been a horrific ordeal, I currently am on a 30 min evacuation alert told have our essentials and pets ready to leave, in a 30 min time window, we have been sleeping in our full set of clothing for the past 3 nights, waking up at the sound of every emergency alarms alert on our phones just waiting to leave our house behind, so please stop using this tragedy to push the climate change agenda, yes absolutely climate change is real, but these fires were careless humans who clearly have no regard for their actions 😢

The problems are the following 1) the rapid response heli tack DNR crew was disbanded around 2014.

I've seen Crown corporations flood vast stretches of fertile land for hydroelectric projects. Watched the federal government hand over the rights to our raw resources to foreign governments. Watching as we are told it would be better to junk all fossil fuel burning vehicles and replace them with electric vehicles. Each electric vehicle requiring more precious earth minerals to produce and creating many more mining projects to supply it. I've seen decades of fire suppression alongside monoculture coniferous tree plantations burning up because of shortsighted governments and corporations that clear cut any biodiversity and create conditions that led to unhealthy forests and larger fires. I've been to communities that were poorly planned and built in drained wetlands, flood plains and diverted rivers. I watched them get flooded. I've driven on roads that have active avalanches in the winter and mudslides in the spring because it was the most convenient route or the only route. As for the climate, it has and will always change. We are still technically in an ice age (Greenland/Antarctica). We are just starting to warm back up. It takes just one large volcanic eruption to throw us back into another ice age. What actually makes a climate for us? The tilt of the Earth and the Sun? A functioning magnetosphere? The poles?
