I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.
I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.
These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:
"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.
I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.
@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.
But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.
Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

I still can’t understand how so many people around the world still see the Palestinians as victims after 6,000 of them invaded Israel on October 7th and proudly live-streamed themselves butchering Jewish families in their homes.
Has the world entirely lost its sense of reason?
I guess the mainstream media won’t tell you this, so I will: Gazans fired over four rockets today toward Israel, intending to kill as many Israeli civilians as possible.
There’s no food or water in Gaza, but plenty of rockets left after 593 days of war.
Isn’t this odd?
@MarkJCarney@Keir_Starmer@EmmanuelMacron Canadian Jews can only wish that you did as much to keep us safe.
Hamas already issued a statement thanking you for this, while Jews continue to be attacked in Toronto.
“Journalist” Abdallah Aljamal was a Hamas terrorist holding Almog, Andrey and Shlomi hostage in his family’s home in Nuseirat.
No press vest can make him innocent of the crimes he has committed.
@AlJazeera what’s this terrorist doing on your website?
Israeli hostage Noa Argamani was being held in the house of Al Jazeera journalist Abdallah Aljamal.
Read that again.
Gaza-based photojournalist and reporter Abdallah Aljamal was holding Noa Argamani hostage in his “spare time”.
It is now becoming clear—based on investigations by both the media and the IDF—that the fire that killed Palestinian civilians in Rafah was caused by weapons stored by Hamas next to a UN shelter and not by the Israeli munitions.
This is hugely significant. Who will report it?
What is it about the Gaza war that’s causing all these riots around the world?
During the past 50 years the world has seen HUNDREDS of terrible wars. None of them caused the massive anti-Israel riots we’re seeing now in the universities.
So what’s unique about this particular war?
Are there more civilian losses in Gaza (10,000-14,000) than in other wars?
Not at all.
The war in Congo killed MILLIONS ;
The Syrian civil war almost a million;
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan killed hundreds of thousands each.
Was it that Israel initiated this war?
Nope.
This war started ONLY because of the savage October 7th massacre that Hamas executed against innocent babies, women and men.
So why?
What’s is it about this war that gets these intellectuals and students out there burning and breaking into buildings?
Why is the ICC singling out Israel?
You know the answer:
Because it’s Israel, the only Jewish State on earth.
It’s the Jews.
It’s the same reason Jews were singled out for the past 2000 years.
Jews were accused of being lazy or too ambitious;
of behaving differently or trying to assimilate;
of being weaklings or being too strong;
of being an economic burden on society or succeeding too much in business.
The true reason was none of these.
It was because they were Jews.
This wave of Israel-hate is simply a new incarnation of good old antisemitism.
Well, we won’t apologize for being Jewish or loving the Jewish State.
Get over it.
Hamas is committing crimes against humanity.
If you think otherwise, think again.
Is it legal in times of war to…
- Embed rockets and terrorist infrastructure within civilian areas?
- Steal humanitarian aid from innocent civilians for their terrorist goals?
- Abduct and confine 239 hostages?
