A message from a friend working in emergency management in Ontario:
Northwestern Ontario needs your help.
Our region is facing an unprecedented wildfire emergency. Communities across the Northwest are dealing with evacuations, hazardous smoke, extreme heat, and stretched emergency response capacity.
We're hearing one message loud and clear:
Where is Ontario Corps?
Many of the people and organizations who would normally step up to help are themselves affected by the fires, smoke, heat, and emergency social service demands. There simply isn't enough capacity left.
We need the Province to coordinate a regional response that supports all communities; First Nations, municipalities, and unincorporated areas alike. Emergencies don't stop at jurisdictional boundaries, and neither should the response.
Please help amplify this message. Tag Minister Jill Dunlop @JillDunlop1 and the Premier @fordnation and share widely.
We need help. We need coordination. We need it NOW.
Pray for Northern Ontario.

Hey guys
My province, Ontario, is currently on fire. The wildfires are mostly around the Northwestern areas, where many indigenous communities, such as the Namaygoosisagagun First Nations, having their homes burnt to a crisp. The entire province is covered in smoke -
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.

🇺🇸 INSANE: “THEY ATE HUMAN FLESH”
What the 21-year-old Gabriela Rico Jimenez claimed hysterically is now collaborate by the Epstein files!
She disappeared that night forever. Who disappeared her?
Donald Trump is accused of horrific child sex abuse. That’s a fact. It’s in the Epstein Files and @AGPamBondi took it down moments after posting it.
This egregious and disturbing White House cover up continues.
BREAKING: MSNBC just confirmed it.
The Epstein release included a spreadsheet of allegations involving Trump and other powerful figures.
Then it disappeared.
Not disproven. Not corrected. Removed.
I saved it before they could delete it
He had a permit to carry
He was legally exercising his 2nd Amendment right.
He did not draw the weapon.
He was filming when they approached him.
They had taken his weapon from its holster before they shot him.
It was murder.
BREAKING: @AOC just completely went off on Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.
"Donald Trump [is] accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."
BREAKING: A witness who was just 5 feet from Alex Pretti filed an affidavit depicting what she saw.
She says he didn’t touch any of the officers and didn’t appear to be resisting. He was merely helping a woman who had been pepper-sprayed.
She’s is terrified that ICE is looking for her, saying they are lying and she doesn’t know what they will do to her if they find her.
