Osoyoos BC, August 5/26. Many cars in town look like this after travelling through fire areas. In town, you can't see anything because the smoke is so thick it obliterated the mountains.
"Just put the fires out!"
Ever seen a boreal wildfire? I have. I used to fight them.
When fire behaviour becomes extreme, you're not getting close to them.
The radiant heat from a crown fire is face-melting from hundreds of metres away.
All attempts at direct attack will fail, because dropping water on it becomes akin to trying to spit on a campfire...it evaporates before it even hits the flames.
Additionally, reduced visibility, high winds, and turbulence makes aerial attack hazardous.
As a wildland firefighter, I've been extracted off of wildfires twice as our fires blew up, both times having our gear burned over. We returned to find firehoses and metal melted into the ash.
I've seen fireballs launched hundreds of feet high, and fires intense enough to produce lightning, influencing the weather around them. I've seen wildfires grow to the size of a major city in a short period of time.
So no, we can't just put the fire out.
Not being able to stop such a natural process is a truly humbling feeling.

A massive chunk of ice, extending far below the water's surface, detaches from a glacier and is launched 200ft (61m) into the air due to its lower density compared to seawater.
It begins with understanding that 9/11 didn’t happen the way we were told. In this 2007 interview with Alex Jones, filmmaker Aaron Russo reveals what his friend Nicholas Rockefeller (a member of the Rockefeller family and connected to the Federal Reserve) told him 11 months before 9/11.
Rockefeller said there would be a major “event,” and out of that event:
►We would invade Afghanistan (to run pipelines from the Caspian Sea)
►We would invade Iraq (to seize the oil fields and establish a permanent Middle East base)
►We would go after Chavez in Venezuela
And we would see soldiers “running around caves” looking for Osama bin Laden — while the whole “War on Terror” would be a hoax, a phony war with no real enemy, used as a pretext to control the American people.
Russo called it exactly what it was: a fraud.
He also explained the Rockefellers’ longer-term plan for a cashless society and digital control over money — essentially the blueprint for what we now call a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) — as a tool for total population control.
This is the closest we'll ever get to a confession from the perpetrators. Russo passed away in August 2007. Watch it. It’s worth your time.

Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.

While sales remained consistent in Canada, they were not increasing. Brewers hoped that the new bottle shape would boost sales.
It was not going to be cheap. Molson alone paid $18 million to convert its bottling machines.
Among consumers, the change was not welcomed.
