@breakfasttv No one should feel forced to do something he or she does not want to do. Keep politics out of it.

From a Canadian firefighter who knows what’s going on:
#canada #wildfire #smoke
(Worth the read)

“I know you may know, but people need to know and understand that most Canadian wildfire management agencies have fire “zonation” policies similar to Alaska.

This means in large areas of their jurisdictions, especially in the northern part of the country, wildfires are left to run there natural course w little or no direct action or suppression. We’ll protect values at risk, ie. infrastructure, communities, critical habitat or culturally significant features on the landscape, we’ll map them and maybe try to burn them to natural barrier, fight one flank and let the rest roll (limited action) but we are not putting them out.

On many of the fires we don’t even try. A number of these fires are huge boreal gobblers (I am currently assigned to a 250,000 ha fire, well over 600,000 acres and you could fit the org. chart on one side of a beer can).

The only thing that is going to put out this fire out and many across the country is winter, 5 months from now. It’s going to be a long, smoky summer for everyone. You have a wide reach, it would be great if you can help people understand these dynamics in the Canadian wildfire scene when they’re bitching about the smoke.

Cheers 🍻 and thanks.”

Pretty decent picture of what’s going on. Thanks for the insight.

In the industry we call this letting a fire “Do its thing”. It’s especially common in these vast boreal forests. Siberia does the same thing. Identify hazards and values at risk, mitigate, let it go.

Cheers.

200+ South African firefighters landed in Edmonton, Canada to assist in the fight against the raging wildfire. 🇿🇦🇨🇦

I spoke with Premier @FordNation today. I emphasized the importance of standing up for Canadians’ rights and freedoms, including workers’ rights – and I reiterated that the preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause is wrong and inappropriate.

@StCorneDPCDSB This is amazing

[Jamie Mitchell @realJ_Mitchell]

Extra curriculars are nice to have. But they aren’t part of any #OntEd teacher contracts. They are extras done by teachers who are volunteering their time.

This is Anastasiia Yalanskaya 🇺🇦

She was killed yesterday, just outside Kyiv, delivering supplies to a dog shelter that was without food for 3 days

The car she was in was targeted at close range

Yalanskaya stayed behind in Kyiv to volunteer as everyone fled around her

The person who decided that EQAO is going to be online for Grade 3 clearly has no children, no experience with kids, no common sense or no idea of the realities of a classroom.

It was Lecce, wasn't it?

[Jen @Jen1142]

@SharkawyMD I disagree with promoting the notion of allowing our children to live in fear of getting sick or others sick. It should have ALWAYS been and should ALWAYS be the parents CHOICE on whether or not they choose to mask their child for 7 hours a day.

@theDRAMAgoat1 Sure am

@theDRAMAgoat1 You should just stay home if you’re that scared of unmasked children
